Yes

Bensell · Post by **Bensell** » Mon Jan 05, 2015 3:39 pm

For #9 does that mean there are 6 coaches who have served since 2005 and the men they replaced make it 12?

That's how I answered. If that's not the case I'd like a chance to re-guess for that one.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 07, 2015 2:21 pm

Oh snap, I assumed the same but I see how that could be first name. Where's Jerloma when you need him?

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 1:00 pm

What's the spread on this Pats-Phins match-up? I played this pretty conservative which probably isn't the strategy against Diamond but our last game did come down to the end where I had a slight lead going into Q8 and then whiffed on both 9 & 10.

I thought the subtitle was a joke, actually. It won't affect relevant scores so I'm just gonna leave it alone.

So, I'm just going to shut up from now on and give Ryan full BotD.
