WEEK 13 RECAP

This pretty much sums up Tucson's performance !

COMMISH NOTES

All is good in the world, the birds are singing sweetly, the Commish has a spring in his step, and the Territorial Cup is where it belongs - all because the Mighty Sun Devils beat the Bastards from down South aka Nogales Tech, aka the Mildcats aka Gadsen Purchase Community College aka The Fighting Ketchup Bottles aka Frontera Welding School aka the Dirty Truck Stop ok you get it !
Waaaaa
Double Waaaaa








DEVILS RULE ARIZONA
Smoke 'em if you got 'em Irish
The last time I saw play calling as bad as Lane Kiffin's during the SC - ND fiasco was when the Harlem Globe Trotters let their team chimp Captain Buckets draw up the "half court head bounce off of Curley's dome dipsy doodle play" versus the Washington Generals. Team Kiffin has got to go !

If any Poolsters are looking for somebody to mow their lawn or clean their gutters I'll forward you Embree, Hope, O'Brien, Spaziani and Chizik's #'s

And because you all tried your very best this season the Commish is thinking of sending each of you one of these because you are all very special.


WEEKLY WINNERS

I'm not sure what's been going on but we have an other log jam for 1st place this week between a foursome of geniuses; Jay "Shemp" Geyer, Ron "the Kunzinator" Kunze, Rhonda "Skyhag" Walters, and Rob "the San Francisco Treat" Rice will split the weekly $100 prize money. This means they can actually buy Xmas presents this year as long as they don't spend the double sawbuck on malt liquor...oops I spoke too soon.








WEEKLY LOSER


One time king of the hill Pete Thrasher is now wallowing in the muck of a weekly last place finish by getting the yips and posting just 4 guesses. The Commish has not seen a collapse like this since the World Trade Centers on 9-11 (Too soon? - screw it this is the last week of the pool anyways)













OVER ALL LEADER AND LUNKHEAD

As predicted by the Commish,  long time leader Pete Thrasher aka the Jean van de Velde of the pool really shit the bed and fell completely out of the money giving us a new over all leader Todd Nelson. Oz is not only an enabler to all his alcoholic friends and family by supplying them with his fantastic Cruz tequila in the extra fancy bottle -  http://cruztequila.com  (remember Xmas is coming up poolsters) he's also quite the entrepreneur - he's currently the host of a "Self Lubricating Catheter" Info-mercial that can be found on your local Armenian TV channel. Keep plugging along pal !















Well the battle of the nimwits is coming down to the final week - the pool's duo of suckitude Todd Thrall and Ed Sipes are both tied for dead last with just 110 correct guesses - a full 30 games below 500. If I was a betting man I wouldn't bet on either of these shmoes because there are several other poolsters in striking distance of sports greatest prize - the prestigious Pewter Jack Ass Trophy. May the best man win err lose or whatever - and to think last place gets money for their ineptitude !



All Hail the PJA !


GOOD LUCK SUCKERS

WEEK 12 RECAP



COMMISH NOTES

 After this weekend's drubbing of the hapless Cougs by the just a little less hapless Devils I have officially petitioned the PAC12 to immediately form the PAC3 which will consist of ASU, CU, and Washington State thus ensuring Sun Devil dominance for all ETERNITY !
                 Ducks Loss + Wildcats Loss = Lucky Irish Bastards !

 This pretty much sums up USC's day versus the bRuins this weekend and pretty much predicts the Trojans chances when Notre Dame comes to town on Saturday.
And speaking of the Irish the # 1 Sign was lit up on campus for the first time since Knute Rockne was scaring the coeds in South Bend.

Nogales Tech is going with the all red Unis this friday when they take on the Mighty Sun Devils down south of the border. I guess they just want to cover up all the blood they're gonna be shedding after the beat down from Sparky !


WEEKLY WINNERS
There was another deeply satisfying tie for first place again from 5 unlikely winners. "Old #2" Billy Fowles, Ryan "Tickle Me" Tompkins, Jack "I went to J School with Horace Greeley" Chesnutt, Don "Juan" Reisinger, and winner of the pool screen name of the year Damon "SplatterPants" Gehrke all miraculously guessed 14 correct. This is the first time any of these chuckleheads have won anything since their grandma put the colored egg on the middle of the coffee table and said they won the Easter egg hunt. I'm sure they will all take their $20 in winnings and buy epic portions of grain alcohol and hang out under the bridge like they normally do when they have this kind of windfall.

WEEKLY LOSER

Ed Sipes is this week's moron racking up a minuscule 5 correct guesses. As ASU's most esteemed law school graduate you'd think he'd be a little better at something as intellectual as this pool. If you are in need of an attorney Ed specializes in cases involving over due library books and illegal mattress tag removal crimes, those are really the only cases the Bar or his Mom will let him handle at the moment.



OVER ALL LEADER AND LUNKHEAD

Pete Thrasher continues to defy all the skeptics (which includes his family, friends, and any body who has ever met him) and still leads the pool going into the home stretch. Pete just think how disappointed you'll be when your late season collapse begins this weekend and you end up just one out of the money !












Todd and Ed at Loser-fest 2011
For many a week Todd Thrall was King of all losers but step aside Toddy we have a new schmuck sitting on the throne - Ed Sipes takes over as the over all loser in the pool. This should be an epic battle of the nimwits going down to the wire - ALL HAIL THE PJA !!!!!


Don't forget we have games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week.

WEEK 11 RECAP



COMMISH NOTES
Some bright individual once said the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. well that can also apply to the Commish. The Commish and Commish Jr took the trip out to LA to watch the hapless Devils take on the Trojans and guess what ? Them darn Devils lost again, but you know what it was nice to be able to teach my son, from a very early age, what heartbreak and misery are live and in person - Will I ever learn ?
ROLL TIDE ROLL ! Right out of the BCS Title game that is...but at least you're not this guy having to wash 20 gallons of Crimson paint of your body
or this guy who lost a bet and had to get the BAMA TAMU score tattooed on his right butt cheek (don't ask where I got this but I have my sources)
And it may be time for Tommy Tuberville to switch to decaf....
And finally in the highlight of the WASSOU season check out this Washington State fan doing what they do best - getting blind ass drunk on national TV.


WEEKLY WINNER
This week's winner, defying all logic and common sense, is the pool's version of a cross between a Sasquatch on Rogaine and the Rainman, the one and only Jerry Siegel. When Jar is not picking copious amounts of hair from his shower drain or watching Judge Wapner he is making excellent picks - this week he secured the $100 by guessing 16 picks. Our hirsute Idiot Savant is available for parties where he can tell you what day your birthday was in 1642 or what boot size Corporal Agarn wore on F-Troop. Jerry will be taking his prize money and buying $100 worth of Daisy razors and having a shaving party at his place - all poolsters are invited.


WEEKLY LOSER

The pool's resident Spicoli KB Cooley is this week's big loser selecting a piss poor 4 correct guesses. But I do have to give KB credit, this past week he told me he was going after the most esteemed trophy in all of loserdom the coveted Pewter Jack Ass Trophy, and said "I'm going for last place" and what do you know for the first time in his entire life KB set a goal and achieved it. Well actually there was the one time he vowed to consume the most pot brownies during the national anthem of the ASU NAU game and he did accomplish that, so technically this is his second life goal achieved. So KB with continued hard work and lame picks we all know the PJA can be yours because if anybody can succeed at being a miserable failure its you pal !


OVERALL LEADER AND LUNKHEAD

Pete Thrasher continues to pull away from the field and has an impressive 6 pick lead over the second place poolster. I know with just 4 weeks to go and Pete's weekly Gas Huffing regimen he's going to be hard to beat. But Pete remember, every poolster - to a man - is rooting against you !













Todd Thrall continues to suck ass and remains in dead last. There are a few poolsters in striking distance but Todd has such a firm grasp on being a loser he will be hard to catch in the remaining weeks. Also if you are curious on how Todd lives and makes his weekly picks just picture the "Sister Christian" scene from Boogie Nights and it'll give you a pretty good idea of the Thunder Chicken's lifestyle.













Look for week 12 games sometime later today - the Commish has a mani-pedi and kelp body rub scheduled for this morning so the pool must wait !

WEEK 10 RECAP


COMMISH NOTES 
Per doctors advise the Commish is no longer allowed to watch, read, think or comment on any ASU football activity however I am allowed to watch videos of adorable kitties frolicking playfully.

And then there's this......

WEEKLY WINNERS 
This week we have the joy of the always deeply satisfying 8 way tie for first place. Gary McMahon, Ray Daniels, Jim Weiler,  Bill Schauerman, Bob Cook, Ryan Tompksins, Bob Cook, and 
Sangkhone Stookey, and Jeff Baker will each split the $100 weekly payout and each receive a life altering, for most of them, $12.50. However after shipping & handling, local and state taxes each of these poolsters will receive a check for $1.47 at the end of year. Enjoy your windfall you jet setters you !

WEEKLY LOSER

Long time loser Clayton Oldham is no stranger to last place and once again shamefully sits in the muck that is the stinky pool basement by guessing just 5 right this week. Clayton is currently soliciting work at children's birthday parties or Bar Mitzvahs for a character he dreamed up called "Frothy the IBS Clown" Shockingly he has had no takers so far but if you'd like to hire him he can be reached at Denver County jail thru the end of November.









OVERALL LEADER AND LUNKHEAD
No change in the leader or loser board this week with Pete Thrasher still leading this pack of lovable losers and perennial failure Todd Thrall remaining in dead last. 
As an experiment this week Pete and Todd have decided to wear a pair of "Fundies" together thru the games on Saturday to see if some of Pete's football knowledge might rub off on Todd (Let's hope thats all that rubs off). Look for pictures of their fantastic adventure in next week's recap.

As soon as the Commish escapes from this damn Chinese Finger Trap I will post the week 11 games - so hopefully before Friday.










Good Luck Suckas - the Commish
