GGW might not post as much as he used to, but he never misses the opportunity to gamble?.

Yes, it?s that time again, where you can get some of your money back from the Proprietor of the 9:30 Club.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello 930 Board Member,

You have been invited to join vansmack's Private Group in Yahoo! Sports Survival Football.

In order to join the group, just go to Survival Football,  Click the "Sign Up" button and choose to "Join an Existing Group", then "Join a Private Group". Then, when prompted, enter the following information...
 
Group ID#: 15351
Password: ninethirty
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The object of 930 Survival Football is to be the last Active member of the 930 Board.
 
In order to accomplish this goal, you must correctly pick the winner of one professional football game each week.
 
But, to make this somewhat simple task more difficult, each user can only pick each professional football team once during the season.
 
If a correct selection is made, the user will remain Active for the following week. If an incorrect selection is made, that user will be Eliminated.
 
Our Group is limited to the first 50 people who sign up. There are two prize categories:
 
$5 - every participant must play the $5 version of the Survival Football pool, winner take all.
 
$100 - in addition to the $5 pool, an optional ?High Stakes? $100 per person pool is a side pool for those that wish to participate. The decision must be made prior to week one.  To signify your willingness to participate, simply put an asterisk next to your submission name (eg, vansmack*) on the yahoo site.
 
Best of luck, and in case you need to be reminded about previous results?

indeed.  would be nice to have more than 6 people in the pool - hard to get some decent smack-talk going with that number.

where's seth?  or has he finally conceded that us boardies know more about football than he does?

i've been trying to goad him into joining... no dice so far.  maybe we need to ask him nicely?  or promise to not complain about beer prices for a year if he wins?

Maybe he can't afford it; what with ticket sales off and all.

I'm interesting in joining. I play 3-4 fantasy leagues of each sport every year. Who do I send the $5 to?
