 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#: 13796
 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 here??s a little reminder of what happened last year.

Not to be a nudge, but I think you still owe your $100 from last season.
 
 I would do $500 also, as long as we can get at least five people in total.

i'm in the same boat, my college football and NFL betting pools this year are getting a little out of hand
 
 also, i'll be off-radar for the first 3 weeks of the season, which is when most of the fun happens in a survival pool....

I punked out of doing $100 at the last second; I regretted it instantly.

You can change your team name right up until kickoff on the 4th if you change your mind.
