930 Survival Football Pool - 2009

[SPARX]

how long did it go last year, i forget. (as i was out in week 2 of course)

First year we went 10 weeks.  Last year we went like 3 weeks or something like that.

I'm pretty sure Venerable Bede and myself won in week 5 or 6 last year as we were the only 2 left and we both went out that same week. Not sure about the high rollers. I think it was even a few weeks earlier.

You could be right Sparx...I was on the campaign trail last year at this time and really don't remember much about last fall.

Don't forget to get your picks in by KO Sunday.  I will let the group know who picked who in the Deathmatch after kickoff.

All three people (Phibes stepped up!) picked Baltimore this week in the big money pool.

Sorry, Oktoberfest got in the way of my Commish duties this weekend.

In the big money pool, Seth and GGW picked the 49ers and Dr. Phibes picked Indy.  All three won.


Eliminated in Week 4
 
Two weeks in a row, nobody was eliminated, although venerable sent me a text thinking he had been eliminated with a tie in Cleveland.  Hilarious.


Picks

4 - NY Giants
3 - Indianapolis
1 - Chicago
1 - San Francisco
1 - Cincinnati

[Venerable Bede]

Two weeks in a row, nobody was eliminated, although venerable sent me a text thinking he had been eliminated with a tie in Cleveland.  Hilarious.

i was watching cbs's post-game show and they showed an incomplete pass that was described as the 4th down play. . . .i turned off the tv and went and did something else, assuming it would end in a tie, and sent the text.  20 minutes later i went ahead and checked the final score to find out that the bengals won...and that cbs was wrong (course, i shouldn't have been surprised by that).

whoops. thought i had made my pick this week .. apparently i didn't. fail

[Shadrach]

After being knocked out in the 1st week the first few years, making it to week 6 is like running a marathon. I barely survived week 5 with my Dallas pick (thanks Miles Austin). I wasn't that comfortable with the pick to begin with, but I'd already used up what I felt were my "sure thing" match ups earlier in the season. Now it's all gambling and prayers from here on out.

[vansmack]

In the big money pool, Seth, GGW and Phibes all won.


Eliminated in Week 5
 
Miss P - failed to make a selection by the deadline
6949 - Baltimore

3 - Philadelphia
2 - NY Giants

Looks like a bad time to figure out that Mark Sanchez can't play in the cold.

[vansmack]

Sorry, I've been swamped this week and derelict of my duties...

In the big money pool, Seth, GGW and Phibes all won.


Eliminated in Week 6
