Just to clarify - the winner (in the spirit of good sportsmanship) also picks up the tab for the meal.

Of course. A gentleman is gracious in victory and defeat. I would expect nothing different from you two good sirs.

Three.  Dr. Anton Phibes also participates. 

I recall vansmack joined one year as well.  And I'm certain sweetcell will be joining this season.

And I'm certain sweetcell will be joining this season.

let's hope you're more certain of your weekly picks.  no big kids' table for me.

Sadly,  I am still prohibited from gambling by NCAA rule.   I'm even searching for a a new AD right now so I feel this year is more justified than last.

Sweetcell, make sure to look at the video of Smackie I'm sending you! Otherwise you could be out of a job soon...

It must blow to have your job limit you to joining a $5 big stakes pool.

Thanks for setting this up sweetcell!

[sweetcell]

we're up to 8 participants, including 6 in the $100 pool and 2 sitting at the really big boy's table (ggw and seth).

still plenty of time to join, folks!  $5 to talk smack against seth seems like a bargain.

hutch, i didn't receive anything...

I've been to Vegas twice since my promotion and my hand twitches the whole time.  I actually turned down a trip last month because I would be alone for most of it (everyone else at a conference) and didn't think I could do it.

No $5 pools, no fantasy sports - really no sports anything.  Smackie without spreadsheets figuring out how to gain .05 in WHIP?  It's a good thing I love what I do...

[vansmack]

And I'm out. Thanks New Orleans. 

Smackie's obligatory:

You took a road team the first week of picks?

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

And I'm out. Thanks New Orleans. 

New Orleans was my pick for the annual "team everyone has penciled into the playoffs but will actually miss it" team.

And I'm out. Thanks New Orleans.
