SEC in the Rankings
This is my first attempt to post, so bear with me. Gemini, green eyes, free safety, enjoys long walks on the beach, virgin daiquiris, and Commodore basketball. I'm trying out this whole beard thing, so you'll have to let me know what you think; have to admit, I'm a little surprised at how much gray I have in the chin area. I'm not old enough for that yet.
Introductions out of the way, let's talk SEC basketball. The conference is having a nice bounce-back from last year's disaster, and it bears out when the computers do their computations. Perhaps not to the '06/'07 heights yet, but we'll get there soon enough. Here are the numbers for your consideration & discussion:

Weird, that never comes out right for me and ends up adding too much extra space in the html. Guess I’ll just have to try harder.

Double check how it looks by clicking preview. Sometimes the way it looks in the editor is nowhere near what it will look like when it’s formatted

Preview works most of the time
But sometimes tables still get shifted from layout to publishing, though not too badly. I started trying to use Word tables pasted from Excel since they format a little better, but none have come out as nicely as these. I’ll have to try it again.

skillz
not sure if it matters, but I’m using excel 2007.
I would bust out the html table skillz too, if necessary!
Y'all are better than me.
There. I said it. Quit hating on my weak sauce table building.
Bunch of bullies is what you are.

I make my tables on an etch a sketch. Then take a polaroid of them. Scan the polaroid at Kroger. Save on floppy drive. Load image to home computer. E-mail to myself on my AOL account. Then load. No need for HTML, biatches.

Photos of Tables
I do copy and paste the +/- and the game preview tables I do in Excel into photoshop (or paint, depending on where I am) and save them as png’s on flickr (then reference them using html img tags. It’s just so much easier than dealing with the whole thing.
That’s another idea Train that is actually pretty easy to do
Bingo
Speaking of +/-, I’ll have the UT stuff out tonight.
I’ve had a rough week as far as my actual job…but I’m done for the week as of now and am heading to VEGAS BABY! for the weekend!
