Woo-hoo! Can't wait. I'm sure this will be my lucky year.

It doesn't seem to remember my email address, I guess I can't remember which one I used? Anyway I reregistered again, so I guess all I lose is the history of my number of years in the pool. Michael is excited to play this year, Ralph tells me the age is eight and up.

I will play by proxy since Dad is willing to pick out the games for me.

I've re-opened the family pool through the rest of the evening, so if you have failed to get picks in, now is your chance!!

This is a warning that I will be shutting down the family football pool 1 hour before Holiday Bowl game time tonight. Get your picks in!!

Brent totally hacked my account, and picked almost every single game that i did. We only have 2 games different. I think i have to have Virginia win to pass him, assuming all the others go well for me. Brent = Cheater!!!

...judging on the two games in progress as of this moment, my 15 minutes of fame in the 1st place position is soon to end! I think I counted 32 Severson's, and 3 Green's...???? WHADUP!!!!

Wow, my ballot is impressive! I have all but one game picked incorrectly so far!

perhaps i should send a letter of apology to Virginia. It was a huge game for me. I watched 4 plays at Sean's house, 2 of those were touchdowns for Texas Tech. Then i drove an hour home, and turned the game back on, to see Virginia leading 28-14. I thought, sweet! Only 3 minutes to go. Texas Tech scored 17 points in those final 3 minutes. So i saw about 5 minutes of the game that would have put me in first place, and in those 5 minutes Texas Tech scored 31 points. SORRY VIRGINIA! amazing.

holly - you are close to tying my record. One year i picked 3 winners out of 20 games. You are at 3 right now. See if you can tie me for futility!

Holly and I are in the race for last place :) Should be interesting!

I think that next year we'll have prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and dead last. It takes a serious effort to pick just 4 of 19 games correctly, which is where Holly stands with one game to play. Some of us might even try to pick all losers - kind of like shooting the moon in Hearts or Spades.

Congrats to Barbara Wightman who has already sewn up 1st place. There are still plenty of possibilities for the other money spots.

If you make a prize for dead last next year, I for sure will not win...

I think the worst place to get is 5th!!

Thanks again Ralph, Jay, Matt, Troy, and anyone who helped put this together for the family. Always makes the holidays more fun, and look forward to next year's pool.
