Fusilli-Mondo has had some epic runs and finishes well in GED's cash pools.

I'm not sure that I can be held responsible for Covers not posting totals for games! Having said that, I'll play the role of whipping boy, LOL! But Fusillli, I have duly noted your concern, and I will pass it along to the proper authorities Just an idea lay off your Cards, and play my Bobcats or the Rockets |

Hey Mondo, Love the artwork, Bro! Very Creative! You must've been an art major at BSU, LOL! I feel you though, because my Bobcats cost me every penny I made on them through the first seven games of the season, by there meltdown in the last 5 games. I did get a reprieve in the Independence Bowl, but man alive, It was a rough November for revenue suplementation |

Don't feel bad 'rish, I took it between the cheeks on the Nat'l Championship game myself. Luckily, I took the OV 18.5 for the 2H and made my money back I didn't think that Notre Dame was going to beat Alabama, but I did believe they would cover 11 points, I was wrong Glad you could make it for the MAC Challenge, Bro!

For those who may not know, the Mid American Conference rotation of scheduled games are Wednesdays and Saturdays with an occasional Tuesday game scheduled for regonal television. For dates that entail the rare Tuesday contests, you can consult the MAC official website for scheduling 411. Hope this is helpful and BOL to all my friends of the MAC |

I see that we all started off with a collective bang Not one of us came out on the positive side of the financial "Mendoza Line" on the opening night of MAC play! FYI-Anna is on the way! He got my message, but had alot going on and he forgot to get his plays in. It's great to see all my friends here, and once again, thanks for participating! It's going to be fun! BOL to all of you! |

I've noticed that there are cappers who decided to not pick within the spirit of which this pool was intended, and I am fine with that to a degree. I tried to make the rules as simplistic as possible, but some cappers felt that the rules were not clear and or too restrictive. Some just decided to disregard them altogether. In order to be eligible for the Amazon.com gift card, you will have to meet the minimum pick requirement of 69 plays, and those must be of the non-BCS variety. Also be aware of the fact that there is an eleven play per week limit. Any deviation from either of the aforementioned will result in that capper not being eligible for the gift card. If the simplistic fact of knowing you won a pool while not adhering to the rules makes you feel like you accomplished something in life, then congratulations. My thanks to those of you who have stayed true the format. BOL |

I understand that the lack of foresight on my part was there. No apologies necessary, guys! The pool was designed to get a few guys together that I felt had a soft spot for the "lottle guys" like me and we'd have some fun with an under-valued brand of football. I've always been a believer of moral order and meritocracy. I'm jazzed that this many people ventured here to participate. Special props to all of the usual suspects who I've had the pleasure to capping with, thanks for playing! I went to the UCF vs Akron as a guest of Anna, who most of you know of. Great time and great guy. BOL to all of you! |

Let it be known that if any capper wishes to still abide by the format to which this pool was premised, your compliance and effort will be appreciated. I will only play "Have Not" teams due to the fact that I wanted it that way. This does not mean that everyone else must do the same. Good Luck to all my cappin' brothers! |

.....I shall listen to my constituency , and hereby open this pool up to any game to which a capper desires. I tested the waters on a desired topic near and dear to me, which is that of the "Have Nots" and the cry of the people has been heard! I do not wish to run a pool to which the participants feel is oppresive and/or difficult to adhere to. Next season I will attempt to run a pool for the "MidMajors" with enough advance notice so as everyone will understand the rules of engagement, as long as there still are enough mid major conferences still in exsistence You will still be limited to eleven picks per week and the minimum pick total is still in effect. I have half a mind to cut the prize in half, but I have always been the type of person to say what you mean and mean what you say, so the $50.00 Amazon gift card is still the prize to the winner. Best of Luck to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Thanks Vue! I agree with you on the Ohio +6, and I truly believe that they have a legit shot at winning outright! With regards to your question about why no one has ever shown any love to the non-BCS conferences, we live in a world of hypocrites. Everyone denounces corporate america and big government for overspending, but when it comes to their school throwing money at a "chance" for a national championship, well it becomes a noble cause and financial responsibility is of no substance. Don't get me wrong, I love the Ohio State/Michigan game as well as Auburn/Alabama and the rest of them, but my heart is with the schools who practice frugality and still respect the ideology of academic integrity! Best of Luck and thanks for playing! |

I wanted to take a moment and thank all of you handicappers who decided to try my Anti-Establishment Pool. Both those of you who have known me for a couple of seasons and those of you who I am being introduced to for the first time. I am looking forward to interacting with all of the participants as often as I can and I'll be anxious to see who I get to mail the $50.00 Amazon.com gift card to, after the Conference USA Championship Game on Dec 1st. Please play within the guidelines of the pool, and if anyone has a question regarding selections please remember that the only stupid question, is the one that is never asked. Best of Luck to All of You

Totals are fine as long as a team from the five "have not" conferences is one of the teams in that particuliar game! |

You're welcome ANNA! I couldn't see running a pool without inviting the small but distinguished group of friends that Covers has afforded me since joining three years ago! You're a righteous dude and a solid capper! BOL |

I had a feeling that the format would catch a few people off guard, and truth be told (Greeney will testify to this, LOL) I've made a couple of snafu's on pools that I've joined in the past by selecting prior to reading. I'll continue to check the forum twice a day to address any concerns that anyone may have.

.....my brother told me that thinking about my pool made his head hurt! I have to admit that after reading it myself, I can see how a 20 minute tutorial video would have been more appropriate, LOL! I will attempt to simplify it here: 1) Sides and Totals of 11 picks weekly max 2) Your play must be a team that is a member of the MAC, WAC, MWC, Sun Belt Conference or CUSA GOOD LUCK to ALL |
