OCVarsity staff picks: The bowl game edition

December 19th, 2008, 12:53 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

We're into the final, final week of our staff contest here at OCVarsity.com. I could have wrapped things up last week, but I didn't and I'm not going to dwell on the past. There's a three-way tie for the first between myself, Jason Eichelberger and Chris Tobolski. Someone will win ...I hope.

Now, the picks ...

OCVarsity staff picks: Doomsday scenario strikes

December 15th, 2008, 12:49 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

OK, so this isn't as dramatic as the five-way Sunset League tie, but there is chaos in our staff contest here at OCVarsity.com. And who is to blame (besides me for picking Tustin)...The L.A. City Section.

OCVarsity staff picks: Playoff title is on the line

December 12th, 2008, 12:10 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

I have a one game lead over devoted South Coast League fan Jason Eichelberger as our staff contest here at OCVarsity.com heads into the final week of the playoffs.

I have a decision to make. Should I try and block him and select the same games and try to protect my lead? Or should I try and go out in a blaze of glory? If I capture the playoff title, I will be holding a press conference at Angel Stadium when all of our work is done Saturday night.

Now, the picks ....

OCVarsity staff picks: Who's Fryer picking?

December 4th, 2008, 9:03 am by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

That's the question everybody in the county wants to know. There is a select who would love for him to pick their team to win, the majority, however, know better.

We're into the semifinal round of staff contest here at OCVarsity.com. The playoff title is up for grabs. I'm tied for first with Jason Eichelberger.

Now, the picks and the moment everybody has been waiting for ...

OCVarsity staff picks: The quarterfinal edition

November 28th, 2008, 11:05 am by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

We had some surpises in the CIF-SS playoffs during the first week, but not any in the staff contest here at OCVaristy.com. After the first week, I'm in first place at 5-1, thanks to the Canyon Comanches. Yes, I was the only to pick Canyon in its first round game against Cypress (if you don't believe me, click here). Now, we're moving onto the quarterfinals. Our playoffs lives are hanging in the balance.

Now, the picks ...

November 20th, 2008, 1:48 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

The regular season is over and now we're taking our staff picks contest into the playoffs here at OCVarsity.com. By now, you're aware that yours truly wrapped up the regular season title on the final night (talk about drama). I was able to enjoy my title for a few moments, but now we're starting the playoffs.

The stakes are higher.

OCVarsity staff picks: The regular season champ is ....

November 17th, 2008, 12:21 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

Me

Thanks to a 5-3 week, I was able to wrestle away the regular season title from Steve Fryer. The deciding picks turned out to be the Santiago-Los Amigos and Newport Harbor-Los Alamitos games. I picked the Sailors and the Cavaliers.

Now, we're moving on to the playoffs.

As the regular season champ and commish of this little contest of ours, I would like to extend an invitation to you my trusted reader. If you want to join our contest and try and take The Champ, then contact me at dcalhoun@ocregister.com. The first three people to contact before Tuesday night are in. If nobody responds, then we're moving on.

Are you capable of beating me, the new champ? Can you outwit Carlos and his dog Buster.

You know you want to join the fun.

OCVarsity staff picks: Title is on the line

November 13th, 2008, 9:29 am by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

We're finally in the final week of the regular season of our staff football picks contest here at OCVarsity.com ... (Hold your applause). There is currently a tie for first place between myself and Steve "The Franchise" Fryer.

It is never wise to go against Fryer or get on his bad side, but I'm taking him down. There is no tomorrow. You can't win the title by sitting on the sideline and holding the clipboard.

Wish me luck ... please.

In the words of Tarvold: VICTORY!!!!

OCVarsity staff picks: Defending champ on the ropes

November 6th, 2008, 5:40 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

Carlos Arias' bid to repeat as champion of the OCVarsity.com staff football picks contest has officially gone to the dogs. This is indeed sad times for the once proud champion.

We're onto Week 9 and just like many of the county leagues, our championship has yet to be decided.

Now, the picks ...

OCVarsity staff picks: Mike Singletary inspires all, except 49ers

October 30th, 2008, 3:49 pm by Damian Calhoun, OCVarsity.com since 2004

Maybe it was Mike Singletary's postgame press conference rant after another 49ers loss (he should be used to those by now), but devoted 49ers fan Jason Eichelberger says that he's primed for a big week as our OCVarsity.com football picks contest heads into Week 8.

At least Eichelberger isn't Carlos Arias. At time of this posting, Arias had yet to file his picks, putting him in danger of having to forfeit the Thursday game -- and being ridiculed forever.

(Note: Arias finally responded at 4:48 p.m. with his picks.)

On to the picks ....
