WEEK 7 RECAP

COMMISH NOTES: 
In what may prove to be one of the most unbelievable and amazing plays in the history of college football...oh I'm not talking this....
...I'm talking about this...
...the 3rd down and 6 play when Kennesaw State ran a draw play thus sealing the 12 to 7 victory over Gardner Webb ! And to all of you who personally thanked the Commish for including a barn burner like the Kennesaw State match up a big You're Welcome to all of you !
And in an effort to continue to provide you poolsters with these kind of high quality games that you've grown accustomed to from the pool...here's a little clue to next week's line up. 

In this week's installment of "Sad, Angry, and Confused Fans" may I present the University of Michigan !

 
Speaking of anger the Devils are responsible for a lot of it after handing Utah a victory with their inept offensive output. Once again ASU's hopes are dashed on the shores of the Las Vegas Bowl !
And on a side note in an effort to relieve some of the stress from the Devil's loss to the Utes the Commish decided to try a little ocean kayaking...it did not end well.

YOU vs the POOL

WEEKLY WINNER


Dave Kent is this week's big winner with a season high record of 17 wins for the week. It just goes to show you what endless hours of sitting on the back of your boat drinking industrial grade rum will do for you guessing skills. And after the week his Trojan's had - the firing of Steve "Cutty" Sarkisian and the thumping by Notre Dame the $100 can buy some pretty good strip mall therapy sessions.

WEEKLY LOSER

Chase "Colorado Husker" Vendl squeaked out just 4 wins for the week. And with a screen name like "Colorado Husker" horrible losses on a consistent basis much come pretty naturally to old Chase.
OVER ALL LEADER AND LUNKHEAD

A trio of Dave's - Kent, Bowser, and Chapman - sit at the pinnacle of the greatest college football pool in the history of the known universe with a remarkable record of 83 and 57. It just goes to show you with a name like Dave the sky is the limit...look at Dave Koresh and Dave Hasselhof for example.







The list of numbskulls inhabiting the bottom of the pool barrel grows week by week. Currently these Rhodes Scholars - Sangkhone "I'm not kidding this is my name" Stookey, Brad "I'm out of box wine" Fisher, Mark "Widestance" Hodgson, and  Andrew "Dumbledoor" Spellman all have picked just 58 games correctly over 7 weeks. But not to worry if you want the Pewter Jack Ass Trophy on your mantle next year there's plenty of time left for you to suck as bad as these 4 !

THE PJA

Pool Payouts
I finally found my abacus and was able to calculate the pool payouts for this season. Here's how my flawless calculations work out.

We have a total of 155 poolsters paying in at $50 a pop equaling $7750. Then you minus out the $465 website pool hosting fee and the $1500 in total weekly winner payouts leaving $5785 in year end payouts. 
Here's how the year end payouts work out:
1st place 35% = $2024.75
2nd place 25% = $1446.25
3rd place 20% = $1157
4th place 12% = $694.20
Last place 8% = $462.80 + the prestigious PJA Trophy.

Not bad for a bunch of random guessing over a period of 15 weeks !

        MET BO BEBOS !

WEEK 6 RECAP

COMMISH NOTES: 
The Devils took care of business this weekend - Sparky rode and mounted the Buffs for like the 73rd consecutive year. 
And be still my heart did anybody catch the Wake Forrest Boston College 3 to ZERO barn burner ? It was like riding the space shuttle during re entry with the window down gacked up on 12 espressos while shrieking Globus monkeys smack you in the head with a mallet !!!
The Bugeaters continue to FAIL ! Losing in the last seconds of games is now the norm for Big Red. Hey Poleo are you missing Coach Bo right about now ?
Imagine you're a Miami fan and you just lose to Florida State and then you have to sit on the bus all the way from Tallahassee to Miami with this guy !

Here's my semi weekly collection of sad and confused fans - this week we feature the Georgia Bulldogs during their miserable loss to Tennessee.
Not the deepest of gene pools in Athens
I never knew Spanky from the Little Rascals was a Bulldog

YOU vs the POOL

WEEKLY WINNER


File under the category "there's something fishy here" - Laddie Fromelius won the pool for the 2nd time this season scoring an impressive 15 win week. What's most surprising is that when Ladmo joined the pool he thought it was a Pokemon figurine collecting and trading web page.

WEEKLY LOSER

We had a 2 way tie for last place this week between Mark Hodgson and Jenny Mayberry who each had only 5 correct guesses.                              

Mark spends his days in the deep forrest of the Pacific northwest hunting for Bigfoot. He recently informed the Commish he's perfected his "Bigfoot Bait" which consists of equal parts gummy bears, malt liquor, and liquid nails mixed in a slop bucket. Good hunting Hodg !
Obviously Jenny didn't take the Commish's advise about sticking to the kitchen and laundry room and attempted to make her own picks without the advise of her husband or father this week - now Jen be a good girl and make the Commish a Dagwood before the next game starts ! 
OVER ALL LEADER AND LUNKHEAD

There is currently a 3 way tie for 1st place in our glorious pool between Ladmo "What is 2nd Place" Fromelius, "Clueless" Dick Kiburz and Dave "I'll buy the next round" Chapman each coming in with an impressive season record of  71 and 49. The 3 of them will be signing autographs at the Stuckey's outside of Amarillo this Tuesday night between 3am and 3:15am.











Andy "Shortbus" Spellman is currently the pool bottom feeder posting a completely awful record of 45 and 75 after 6 agonizing weeks. Andy currently lives under the front porch of his parents house - that is until his parents come home from vacation next week then the hunt for a new crawl space begins again !

WEEK 5 RECAP

COMMISH NOTES: 
Well it was a perfect college football trifecta for the Commish this weekend... 
The Devils miraculously beat the Bruins at the Rose Bowl
The Kitties got their asses handed to them by the Trees
and Notre Dame lost in heartbreaking fashion to Clemson
...it was a very good day !

       
And I can't watch this Devil run enough !

YOU vs the POOL

WEEKLY WINNER

We had a 2 way tie this week between Laddie Fromelius and Craig Edmonston each posting 15 wins. 

Laddie is currently employed by the Thunder Down Under Organization as a male exotic dancer working exclusively at retirement homes throughout the Denver metro area and goes by the stage name "Lucious Ladmo". To say the least Laddie is bit traumatized from the endless onslaught of 80 year old women stuffing nickels into his G-string. 
Even after the stinging loss of his Ducks last week Craig was able to regroup and get the big win. He spent this weekend consoling and spooning with his brother Bruce after lil bro's UA Kitties were absolutely demolished by Stanford. After a good cry Craig and Bruce each ate a tray of fudge and sang Muskrat Love to each other until they fell asleep in each others arms.
WEEKLY LOSER

The trio of losers seen here with their gambling advisor

We had a trio of losers this week with Matt Kaysar's college football picking robot "Suckbot 3000", Dave "The Smelliest Man from Sacramento" Stern, and Troy "Twinkles" Winkles each with 5 horrible picks. Coincidentally they all work together - currently they are performing in blackface singing minstrel songs at the Applebee's in Compton - needless to say they all get beat up a lot !

OVER ALL LEADER AND LUNKHEAD



Dave Jackson and Tricky Dick Kiburz both have a magnificent, yet very surprising, record of 60 and 40 after 5 weeks and sit on top of our giant mound of greatness called the Pac12 Plus Pool. I have been informed by no less than 35 poolsters that and I'm quoting here "there's no way in hell that moron Kiburz is winning" and "Dave couldn't pick a winner in a 1 horse race" and the like. Needless to say a full investigation is under way on how either of these dimwits are winning.



Coming as no surprise at all Cam Brown and Brett Bargey are tied for last place over all with  a terrible record of 36 and 64. Cam claims he's busy training his his 36 cats to march in unison to John Phillip Sousa marches and doesn't have time to make coherent picks. Brett spends his days watching reruns of the Golden Girls shouting "You go Girl ! " whenever Estelle Getty comes on the screen and when asked doesn't even know he's participating in this pool.
