74th Edition - 12/28/06

Yes, I have taken a break. And I will probably take another break until about January 3. But here is a quick post ... pick edition.

It's Billy Z vs. J
If you're just joining us, here is how the regular season has played out...

j NCAA: (23-16-1)
billy z NCAA: (27-12-2)

And now Billy and I will pick ten bowl winners each.
Will it be possible for one of us to go 10-0?
Could I have a chance to come back and win the season?
Time will tell...

Quick film reviews:
The Good Shepherd: B (slow, long but very good acting by Matt Damon)
Notes of a Scandal: A- (just amazing performance by Judi Dench, it has the tension of the murder mystery)
