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#: 21092
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. I'm open to a discussion on prizes.

now this i like, since i only have to watch 1 game :)

Vansmack – have I told you lately that I love you?

I think you're trying to distract me as I'm worried that I've started a pool and I might not even make it out of week one.

I'm going to do this up right – week one: Detroit over Oakland.

i'm in. any money on the line, or just bragging rights?

i hope more people chose like julian - with their hearts and not their heads :)

why do you have to watch the game? personally, i'm quite comfortable picking one game and watching another, especially if the game i pick isn't going to be very good (case in point: detroit vs. oakland :p )

In what world is picking whoever happens to be playing against Oakland that week not playing with one's head?

Boy you're asking for it…and you shall receive. :mad: And I'm up for ANY side bet for week 1, just make it good because I plan on holding it over you for the ENTIRE season.

Fantastic.
I'm in.

I'm up for $5 or $10, but I'd hate for that to deter anybody from signing up. I'd like a big group…

So, if we can't agree on a price, I will at least buy the winner a 9:30 Club t-shirt.

Sure, what sort of side bet have you got in mind?

I like anything that gets people talking about the Battle For 2nd Worst Team in the NFL.

Just signed up. Anything NFL and I'm interested.

Wait. Does this mean that one of you is going to be out after week 1?

I LOVE this pool!

Oh, something along the lines of the loser having to publicly praise the winners team prior to each game every week, AND provide a short review of the positive aspects of that teams performance that week including why they ARE STILL better than the losers team.

This will continue through the first 8 games, if neither team has at least 3 wins by then, the praising can cease.

AND buy the winner his choice of his teams merchandise, max $25 unless you want to go higher.

I'm letting my side bet doing the talking, but when it comes to this pool, I'll pick with my brain not my ding-a-ling.

I haven't watched an entire NFL game in 3 years, so I don't think I can come close to offering a weekly analysis of the Raiders, if need be. Nor would I actually want any Lions gear.

How about a 9:30 Club giftcard?

That works, but the point was for the loser to at least think about the winners team, so a gift card is fine but the loser still needs to at least check the winners team stat sheet and score every week and make some positive comment.

OK, fine, I will find a Raider to comment about weekly.

I can't believe somebody just gave me a reason to watch Detriot v. Oakland….
