Petras goes the distance, Kaleb Johnson emerges with 2 long TD runs, and the defense pitches a shutout!. Something to build on, some things to still worry about, Hawk fans.

Just the 3rd week and already we have a repeat winner. Congratulaions to HawkPT for the return to the top ....but get this... he does so in perfect fashion once again - 10-0! There have been same-season repeat winners in the past but repeat perfect winners is a first. Please see HawkPT for your stock picks and lottery numbers.

Six contestant logjam at 8-2 for the runner-up spot so the Tiebreaker (TB=57) was employed to sort it out. Congrats also to EvilMonkeyInTheCloset (TB62) who edged boxahawks (TB67) and other runner-up finalists rfgiowa (TB101), Suterman (TB106), Hawkeye_4_Life (TB116), and MapleLeaf_Hawk (TB157) for 2nd spot.

Damn, only reason I missed the two was because most all my picks were meant to be intentionally pessimistic lol.

So #1 was a pessimistic pick and #10 was because I thought the score would end up 27-10 Iowa and we wouldn't cover the spread.........I got our score right at least.
