…and it will be the last one. We tried to toss in a few things to make it more interesting and it just scared off a few more people, dropping the pot below 100 and - as per our previously stated condition - makes this the final one. The final pot is 90; the spreadsheet...
I’m working on the NCAA pool… and a ton of stuff around the house. I will get to the NCAA one soon.
In the meantime, congratulations to Jeannine, our Week 7 winner, taking home the pot of 1,910. Week 8 pick sheet and spreadsheet template are posted to the left. Check back later today for the...
The possibilities for tonight are in the post directly below this one. I ALMOST went the entire weekend without someone emailing me thinking they were in the running with too many losses (this is why we have the spreadsheet and full disclosure everyone!), but that did get me looking through the spreadsheet and I did...

Philadelphia

Good luck, guys and gals!

Are you guys feeling good about life? Did you nail all of the the 1:00 games? If so, you’re one of the 110 people tied for the lead!
This should be a nice close one…
- Steve Pogo
Congratulations to the Calkins, the Week 7 NCAA winners! (110)
As for the NFL pool, that number is slightly larger. Once again, we have a season-best pot with Week 7’s total of 1,910. We’re almost back to 2K! The spreadsheet is posted to the left.
It was a pretty smooth week as far as turning them in...
Pot is 110… again. The NCAA pool survives to see another week; a week in which it will have a whole host of random games from every corner of the obscure Div II & III universe!
I’ll keep it short and sweet and share this mind boggling exchange, discussing adding a stop to our trip to...
Congratulations to our Week 6 Winners:
Barry Wood, NCAA (110)
Amber Lindsay, NFL (1,710)
Everything you need for Week 7 is posted to the left!
Three quick notes for upcoming pools:
1. If the NCAA pool has a pot under 100 that will be the last one of the season.
2. As long as the NCAA pool extends into Week 8,...
Barry Wood just emailed me regarding the pools… from his cruise through the Caribbean! So just to recap, he has already won the NCAA pool and can possibly win the NFL pool tonight, all while on vacation.
For the rest of you… how’s work?

Barry, I can’t believe you have a shot to win...
Nicely done Barry Wood, the NCAA Week 6 winner (110). Once again, I was in second. What a revolting pattern. We’ll have the new pick sheet posted by late Monday night.
As for the NFL pool, we have yet another season-best pot, this time clocking in at 1,710.
This was a fun pot to do! Most of...
Pot is 110, spreadsheet to the left!
We decided awhile ago that if the pot dorpped below 100 we would ditch the NCAA pool altogether, but just as a pot of 90 looked like it was going final, Barry dropped in 5 from Stuart so there will be a Week 7! Start promoting it if you...
(Football stuff is below, all picksheets and templates posted)
Congratulations to our Week 5 winners:
Dumas (NCAA, 175)
“DF - The Commish” (NFL, 1,620)
Week 6 spreadsheet templates and picksheets posted to the left.
Thank you EVERYONE for a stress-free pool this week. No late entries, no random emails, no screw-ups (except for 6 No Picks in the pool.) Let’s keep this up for the rest of the...
Spreadsheet and Template to the left.
I attempted to have 20 match-ups with big name schools (like last week when our winner went 19-1) but I went back and selected the games in terms of point spreads (like I did two weeks ago when our winner was 12-8) so it should be more interesting. We should...
Possibilities for the pot of 1,620:
New York Jets:
2-30 Vinny Hermanns
31-34 Susan K.
35 Susan K. + Mike Brooking (split pot)

39+ The Commish
Please double check them for...
Spreadsheet is posted to the left. Enjoy it!
*Bashing my head on the desk* I literally flipped a coin last night, knowing I would pick Stanford AND Oregon State in the college pool. Stanford for… TAILS! That will go in my second pick. Guess what? I had the low end on the points and an 18-2...
(NCAA and NFL updates below; NFL tie procedure further down in the post)
NCAA Spreadsheet is up and the pot is 175. That’s up from last week, down from the previous few weeks. You’re not really loving the college version as much as we thought; you should have heard how many people asked me to do...
NCAA (125) Weepers
NFL (1,420) Bill T.
Nice picks, there, Bill! 14-0, missed the points by 4! Yes, John Sanford, you were 14-0 as well. Too bad about the points. (If it makes you feel any better, Todd ran the pool and lost the NCAA by one lousy point and three years ago I went 15-0 and...
Hola everyone! It looks like the PIT-SD game is going final so we have possibilities but first….
Congratulations to Weepers (yes, that’s what they put as a name) for taking down the pot of 125 for the NCAA pool. In my world, this is the second consecutive week I have had the correct number of games...
What’s up, peeps?! I have the spreadsheet updated (the only update is fixing the amount of no-picks) and the final pot size (which is 1,420.)
Two quick notes… first off, if Todd’s only issue was not picking up some spreadsheets on Saturday night for a pool what was due on Friday, I’d say he did a...
Scott got his picks in and the new and updated spreadsheet was posted on the web site by 12:57 p.m. That was close! That makes the pool another $45.00 higher (I’m not good enough at math to give a total.) But, again, the pool’s integrity is intact which is the most important thing. Rotten luck...
Hi Todd!!! … and everyone else. :-) (For those of you just getting here, scroll down for Todd’s update)
Spreadsheet works just fine; don’t worry about the “no picks;” the important thing is the formulas work. I have a bunch of hidden cells in there; at the end of the second row there are some totals...
Scott at Waterway is sending me 8-10 more pick sheets. i am going to try and post them before 1:00 p.m so if you have already downloaded this weeks spreadsheet, redownload it. If I can not get the new spreadsheet up before 1:00 p.m., the new picks will not be added to the pool. like...
One thing I am noticing about the -125 no picks is that the pot size is incorrect. The pot for this week is $1375. I entered in some potential winners and it looks like the formula’s are working, but let’s take a wait and see attitude. Sorry to anyone who wanted to add some last...
Holy @#$%!! I finally got the damn thing on-line and correct. I had a hundred things go wrong and I was starting to wonder if I was going to succeed or not. The sheet is up, however, with an hour and a half to spare. My wife is sick and my son was supposed to...
All right you mf-er’s. The college pool is posted with minimal difficulty and maximum effort.It is nearly 3 a.m. and I am tired. This endeavor has taken me away from my beautiful wife for the evening ( although she is pissed at me right now ). That being said, I wish to simply tell all...
Well, it’s Wednesday night and I’m personally finished with the pool for the weekend. I will admit, it feels strange handing it over to someone else. It’s like we’re going out and leaving our baby with a sitter for the first time ever. I have five typed pages here for Todd, complete with emergency phone...
