So yea, I completely forgot this... Job fairs, interviews, etc., life's getting almost too real now, and graduation is right around the corner. Last week was a slaughterfest though, as Scrupio picked up the victory with what I think may be the closest thing to a perfect week I've seen yet (I think Flashpacker came like, one missed prediction off last year, not certain though). Aside from the bonus fixtures which almost nobody scored on, Scrupio only dropped two EPL predictions, notching four correct ones and scoring 18(4) on the week. Now, I'm not a believer in anything being completely out of reach, but Scrupio now has nearly 20 points on the new second place runner silverace99, and as we're only about twelve weeks away from the finish, I just don't think anybody is really going to be able to catch him. silverace99 took second place with a 12(2), and HoodRiverDuck and hansdampf tied for third with 10(1). Scrupio now leads on the season with a total score of 224(38), while silverace99 is new in second with a 206(31) and SteakBaller falls to third after a dismal showing with 200(32) and HoodRiverDuck just two points behind him.

Week 25 Podium:

1st: Scrupio - 18(4) 2nd: silverace99 - 12(2) T-3rd: HoodRiverDuck and hansdampf - 10(1)

Season Top Three:
