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, and click the "Join a Group" button. From there, enter the following information...

Group ID#: 20551
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.

Seth, GGW and the Good Doctor have also been known to do a $1000 pool.  I will leave it to them to challenge others.
 
Best of luck, and in case you need to be reminded about previous results?

and by "all in", i mean the $100 pool (the marital consequences of the $1000 pool are probably NSFW).

$1000 is all it would cost me to end your marriage?  My proposal was going to be much higher....

Summer was over as soon as the Orioles fell out of contention.  Sometime mid-June.

Realistically speaking...early May.  Don't count on any summer next year.

Now, Now.  They were one game under .500 on June 10th, the day before the wheels fell off the cart.

Spring-to-fall next year, for sure.

A question for Seth and Dr. Anton - should we just tack the Big Boys pool onto vansmack's existing one?  Otherwise, I can set up a separate one.  Let me know.
