…because it doesn’t matter. In fact, tonight’s game didn’t matter either based on someone snagging all those upsets. Congratulations to “The Plummer,” our Week 10 Winner, with a pot of 1,575. (That is what it says; I did not misspell the profession)
As I predicted, the same group of people called me and texted me this...

Hola Kiddies!
Well, the pot was larger than I had prognosticated: 1,575. Not to shabby for a Thursday due date… and certainly better than the Thursday night game. Ugh. The spreadsheet is posted to the left.
The three most important games are NE-IND, SD-PHI, and KC-OAK, two out of three of which would be worth watching.
One quick...

Hey gang,
I’ve been thinking about a couple things for the last few weeks and debating on the direction in which we should go with the pool. Obviously we have had issues in Abacoa with problems at Rooney’s and lack of follow-through at Jumby Bay. Now comes whatever has been going on over by Paddy Mac’s...

Congratulations to Johnnie Radcliff, the Week 8 NCAA winner! (90)
Since 90 < 100, that pool is finished. I had so many requests for a college version over the years but it just did not catch on anywhere near the way we had hoped. It was more time-consuming on our end, so honestly I’m not too...

2:06 am, huh? FAIL!!!
I’m still working on the spreadsheet; I’ll be back in a bit!

It’s 1:48am, turning the clocks in a few. Let’s see what the program does with these.
I just counted the pot. Unofficially it’s 1,940. I’ll punch in all the picks and check everywhere any more could be hiding and I’ll have the official one later.

Let’s have fun with daylight savings time! It’s 1:19am, we’re changing the clocks at 2am, so I am going to post a few times and see if the program re-organizes the entries based on actual or perceived chronological order. I’ll try again later this hour, then just after “1am” which would normally be 2am if...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Ok, let’s try that with the right winners:
NCAA (190) goes to Johnnie Radcliff
NFL (1,350) Goes to Kim N
I had two other people up there for possibilities BUT… Arizona did not win. (I’m sorry if you had false hopes, Dan! Someone asked me for possibilities as I was walking out the door and I pasted in...

Congratulations to Aniunas, our Week 3 winner, taking down the entire pot of 1,180. Also, good job to Barry’s people up there in the Stuart / PSL area for winning for the first time in awhile!
Everything you need for Week 3 (picksheets and templates for NFL and NCAA) are posted to the left.
As a friendly...

Hola everyone!
Both the college and pro football seasons are right around the corner; NCAA is due on Friday, September 4th, NFL is due on Wednesday, 9/9/09. I am including the Thursday night game because it is one of the marquee match-ups for the first week… and because I’m out of town that Saturday.
As...

…and so is this site. Looks different now, huh? The NFL pre-season kicked off last night (and my Bills lost a game - who the hell saw THAT coming?!) so therefore I’m getting my annual phone calls regarding the pool. I think there are about 125 people in my phone that call me twice a...

Well, they’re up! Now I need some feedback - can everyone use a .doc file in Word or do some of you require them in .pdf format? (They are currently only in .doc). Also, for those of you that use the spreadsheet (especially those who use it as a template) please check and make sure...

I have some more of the Football section laid out, including sub-categories for the new NCAA version of our NFL pool. I’ll get with my collectors soon enough to get all of that together. Please cruise around the website and point out anything that doesn’t look right, dead links, etc. It’s all a work in...

Yes, yes - football season is right around the corner and I appreciate your concern. Yes, the pool is on (of course) and yes, the site is new and looks completely different. Once we have this thing set up correctly, you will be able to leave your own comments (two way slander, not just me...

Just checking in to see how the new site is looking! Thanks to everyone who has dropped by so far… in response to a comment, no, we are not doing anything with March Madness. We usually stick to the NFL, sometimes with a sprinkle of college football and a dash of Red Sox obsession for...

Okay, so after years of having StevePogo.com hosted through a manually tweaked html site (don’t worry, non-techies, this is totally irrelevant!), we are now going to be hosted with the delightful Wordpress.org software, freshly installed on our server, and still smelling like new paint.
Well, maybe not new paint. But we’re working on making this site...
