JASON LEADS AFTER WEEK 1

Well after the 1st week of this years contest Jason is the one everyone is chasing after gong 17-5 holding 1 game lead over the next 8 challengers.  There are 21 players within 3 games of 1st place and the top 28 are within 4 games of the top spot.  There where quite a few upsets this past week and I have a feeling that this week maybe the same.  I have to say there are some surprising names at the top of the standings and at the back as well and I am sure they will be looking to move back the top this week.

FOOTBALL CONTEST JUST ABOUT SET

With the 2014 College Football season closing in the Mickey's College Football Pick-Em Contest is just about set.  I am looking for a couple of more players if anyone is interested in playing in this years contest, please e-mail or text me if you are interested playing.  Thanks, MICKEY

CHIZ HOLDS A GAME LEAD HEADING TO THE BOWL SEASON

Well the regular season is done for this years contest and the only thing left is the Bowl Season and Chiz will head into the final portion of the contest with a 4 game lead over Craig.  Besides Craig it looks like The Chief (-6), Andrew (-7) and Keith (-8) are the only ones who have a legitimate shot at catching Chiz.  There is a pretty big logjam from 8-15 place with only 3 games separating those positions.  Also we have new person in the lead for the final spot in this years contest, Neddo in his 1st year in the contest has dropped to the rear after Jonathan's big week.  Jonathan had the best week going 12-2 while Murph and Larry had the toughest weeks going 6-8.  I will sen out the Bowl Game Schedule out as soon as everything is finalized.  MICKEY

CHIZ HOLDS A 7 GAME LEAD

Well after 14 weeks of this years contest Chiz has a 7 game lead over Craig and The Chief with just one week left in the regular season and then the Bowl Season.  Keith & Andrew are 8 games back and need to make a move this week to have  a shot at winning and then there is the rest of the filed.  This week Phillips had the best week going 18-6 edging out Chris who went 17-7, Jeff had the roughest week going 9-15.  There are not not as many games this week, there are few conferences finishing up the regular and the Championship Games in some conferences.  MICKEY

CHIZ CONTINUES TO LEAD

Well after 13 weeks of this years contest Chiz has a 7 game lead over Keith, Craig and The Chief with Andrew 8 games back and Murph 9 games out.  Steve had the best week going 18-6 and Julianne was right behind him going 17-7 while I had the toughest week going 10-14 which I have to say is a bit embarrassing.  With Steve's win this week 17 of the 28 players in this years contest have won at least 1 week which is pretty good.  Jonathan continues to hold on to the final spot by 2 games over Jonathan.  I thought last weeks slate of games was pretty tough but this week may be tougher.  MICKEY

CHIZ LIKES IT AT THE TOP

Well after taking the lead in this years contest last week it appears Chiz likes being the lead dog and has extended his his lead over Keith to 5 games.  The list of contenders in this years contest is dwindling each week and there only 5 players within 9 games of the top spot.  This past week Chiz and The Chief had the best week both going 20-4 while Phillips had the toughest week going 12-12.  I had a pretty tough week myself falling all the way to 16th place and last years champion Tom looks to move into the top 10 next week.  The battle for the final spot remains close with Neddo and Jonathan.  There are some very tough games this week.  MICKEY

Well after 11 weeks of the contest we have a new leader, Chiz now leads Keith by 2 games after going 176 this week.  Craig and Andrew are 6 games back followed by Murph who is 8 games out and The Chief who is 9 games back with everybody else 10 or more games back.  I would say the top 6 players have shot win and if anybody else wants to have a shot at the title they need start making there move to the top very soon.  This week Chiz, Tom and Jeff all went 17-6 having the best week while Neddo 8-15 and is now in a good battle with Jonathan for last place.  MICKEY

Well after 9 weeks of the contest Keith has company at top of the standings, Chiz picked up 1 game this week on Keith and tied top of the standings with 138-59 record.  Craig -6, Murph -7, Andrew -7, The Chief -8, Larry -8 and Sean -9 all remain within striking distance of the lead.  This past week Larry had the best week by far going 18-5 and by doing so moved from 14th to 7th in the standings, Neddo and Jonathan had toughest week going 8-15.  There where allot of upsets again this week and it appears next weeks games could be pretty challenging as well.  MICKEY

KEITH HOLDS ON TO THE LEAD, THE CHIEF HAS THE BEST WEEK

Well 8 weeks are now in the books in this years contest and Keith holds a 1 game lead over Chiz.  The Chief had the best week going 14-7 while Jeff, Chris, Guy and Phillips had the toughest week going 8-13.  It is getting pretty tight between positions 3-8 with those positions only being separated by 3 games and there is another pretty big log jam with positions 10-17 only being separated by 3 games.  There where allot of upsets in yesterdays and games and I have to say the biggest letdown of the day was Virginia blowing a 22 point lead.  Here are the updated standings and next weeks games.  MICKEY

KEITH HOLDS ON TO THE LEAD

Well after 5 weeks of this years contest Keith has a 1 game lead over Craig for the top spot.  Craig took over 2nd place from Chiz who dropped to 3rd just 2 games back.  Murph, Scott, Andrew, The Chief, Bobby and Sean are lurking within striking distance of the top spot.  There are 12 players within 10 games of the top spot and we have had 6 weekly winners in the 1st 5 weeks of the contest.  This past week John had the best week going 15-7 while me and Neddo had the worst week going 8-14 and it cost me 6 spots in the standings.  I have to say Scott has made the most improvement in standings since week 1 when he was 20th and now after week 5 he is 5th.  Looks like another pretty tough week for games.  MICKEY

IT'S GETTING A BIT TIGHTER AT THE TOP

Well after 4 weeks of the Mickey's College Football Contest things are getting much tighter at the top of the standings.  Keith continues lead the the contest after week 4 but his lead is now down 1 game, Chiz is just 1 game back, Craig 2 games back and Murph, Andrew and the Chief are lurking 3 games back.  The Chief, Scott and Joy had the nest weeks going 20-2, by going 20-2 Scott moved all the way to 7th place and Joy all the way to 14th.  A couple of players had weeks they wish they forget, Jason went 10-12 and dropped to last place and Chris went 11-11 went from 10th to 20th in standings.  The top 14 players in the contest are within 10 games of the lead.  It looks like next weeks slate of games will be the the toughest so far this season.  MICKEY

POLLEN GETTING BAD

I have to say after running outside yesterday that the pollen is really starting to get bad.  Don't get me wrong I would much rather have temperatures in the 70's and 80's even if it does bring the pollen out than to have temps in the 40's like it has been most of baseball season.  Speaking of baseball season the Colonials went 1-1 this past week beating Hopewell and losing to Dinwiddie, we will be at home this week against Prince George and Meadowbrook.  The Virginia baseball team ended it's 2 game losing streak yesterday beating Georgia Tech, the Cavs will try to win the series against the Yellow Jackets later today.  Kyle Busc won Friday nights Nationwide race at Texas and last night he won the Sprint Cup race as well making it a clean sweep for him this weekend.  The Nascar Truck Series will race at Rockingham today a track I think the Sprint Cup Series should still race at, besides Richmond I have seen more races at Rockingham than any other track.  Well it looks like another heat wave will hit the area by the end of the week with temps reaching into the lower 90's.  MICKEY 

LOUISVILLE WINS THE NATIONAL CHAMPIOSHIP

Well I have to say I did not stay up to see the finish of lasts nights game but Louisville Cardinals beat the Michigan Wolverines 82-76.  I wish they would start these games earlier because the older I get the harder it is for me to stay up and see the finish.  The Virginia baseball team improved to 30-3 last night holding on to beat Wake Forest 9-7, next up for the Cavs is a game on Wednesday against Radford before heading down to Atlanta next weekend to face Georgia Tech.  The Colonial Heights baseball team will be at home tonight against Hopewell with the first pitch scheduled at 6pm.  Well its going to be very warm today with temps climbing into the mid 80's, the only bad thing about the warm temps now is that the pollen is really starting to get bad which is causing my allergies act up.  MICKEY   

MICHIGAN TO FACE LOUISVILLE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

The Michigan Wolverines beat Syracuse last night 61-56  and the Louisville Cardinals beat Wichita State 72-68 to advance the championship game tomorrow night in Atlanta.  I will be rooting for the Wolverines to win tomorrow night.  The Virginia baseball team improved to 28-3 on the season with a come from behind win at Wake Forest 7-6, the Cavs scored 5 run in the top of the 9th to come away with the win and will face the Deacons again this afternoon.  The Sprint Cup Series will be in Virginia this afternoon at the Martinsville Speedway where Jimmie Johnson will start from the pole and by the end of today's race I am sure there will be some drivers with some short fuses.  It does look like we will finally get some good baseball weather this week with temps in the 70's and 80's all week, the Colonials will be at home Tuesday night against Hopewell and will be at Dinwiddie on Thursday night.  MICKEY

COLONIALS SPRING BREAK TOURNAMENT

The Colonial Heights Spring Break Baseball Tournament starts today with 4 games at Shepherd Stadium starting at 10am this morning.  In this years tournament are Monacan, Clover Hill, Henrico, Varina, Dinwiddie, Hopewell, Prince George and Colonial Heights.  The Colonials will play all there games at 7pm and the tournament will continue tomorrow and Thursday.  I am hoping the that the weather will cooperate and we can keep the tournament on schedule.   MICKEY

SIGNS OF SPRING

Well it looks like we are finally going to see some sign of Spring with temperatures climbing into the lower to mid 60's the next 3 days before dropping back into the 50's for a few days next week.  All I know is Spring is about 2 weeks late and every baseball game and scrimmage we have played this year has been pretty darn miserable.  The Colonials baseball season has got off to a bit of a slow start only playing 3 games in weeks because of the bad weather and our record has been a bit slow as well going 1-2 in those games.  Next week the Colonials are scheduled to play 3 games in 4 days weather permitting at Shepherd Stadium with all three games starting at 7pm.  The Virginia baseball team continued it's winning ways last night beating Miami 15-4 and our now 24-2 on the season and will play Miami again today in game 2 of there series.  Well there is only 1 underdog team left in this years in NCAA basketball tournament after Florida Gulf Coast got beat last night by Florida, I will be rooting for Wichita State to upset Ohio State tonight.  The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is off this week for Easter.  I want to wish everybody a Happy Easter.  Mickey
