I will take over from vansmack. Most of you know the drill, but the details are below if you need a reminder.
_______________________________________________________________________
You have been invited to join ggw'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#: 27223
Password: ninethirty
Direct Link:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/group/27223$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 $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, ggw*) on the yahoo site.
Let me know of any questions and good luck!

Btw - The deadline for joining (and making weekly picks) is Sunday at 1:00pm. So unless you are picking the Thursday night game, you have until Sunday to join.

LONG LIVE GGW!
i believe we need a password to join the league. that direct link you provided is the pool home page - which is accessible only after we join. clicking it now yields a "You are not a member of this group. (Error #113)" message.
to join, i'm pretty sure we need to go to
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/register/joingroup, and enter the league # (27223?) and the league's password.

I have "the trophy" from last year. I WAS the last one standing…. Even though it was more like the last one to get eliminated… Fucking Steelers…

Dipping my toe into the $100 pool for the first time…

Me. I figure that if the law of averages is true, I am due for a win this season.
If anyone wonders what Seth is talking about, there is a secret cabal that does a $1000 option on the pool. As added incentive, the payout is settled in-person over lunch. So don't look at it as wagering $1000; look at it as a guaranteed Lunch with Seth.
