Week 1 Recap

Commish Notes: Week one started like so many previous weeks in the pool - a total disaster. 

It looks like many of us forgot the oldest expression in sports "Only a moron picks the favorite in week 1 of college football"



Some observations on week 1  

Never ever bet against Boise State. They always cover !

Michigan might have some work to do. 

I have one word for you Penn State - 
KARMA !

Nice way to christen the new stadium Cal - You suck Oski.

Once again the most exciting thing about CU football is the Ralphie run out. 

ASU got the Commish's hopes up by demolishing Division IV powerhouse NAU - this means the Devils will end up 1 and 11.

And AZHusker I'm so sorry to hear the pool wouldn't list the games in chronological order or some such thing, from now on just for you the games will be listed alphabetically, from shortest to tallest, and by which teams have the prettiest hair.

In total the pool ended up with 127 members this season, but inexplicably 6 of you took the trouble to sign up for the pool but failed to make any picks - Go figure. 

So if every poolster pays their entry fee that gives us $6350 in total prize money. So if you haven't done so go grab your checkbook or gather those aluminium cans 

you've been hoarding and send your $50 entry fee to: 

Kevin "the Commish" Watters 

2470 South Jackson Street Denver CO, 80210.

Weekly Winners: Well we all know that the real winner this week was the AWAY pick but by pool rules these 4 knuckleheads will split the $100.

Tom "I miss Weis" Meinert spent week one drunkenly wandering around Dublin trying to find the Notre Dame game but ended up at a pub called the Velvet Shamrock where he met some "real lovely lads."

Kris Robinson spent the weekend at Jerry Garcia's grave praying for a miracle - well it looks like he got one.

Steve Delira and Doug Dohmen missed the games this weekend because they were performing as America's 114th best Hall and Oates cover band at the Blythe Applebees.

Weekly Losers:                                                                                                  

If there is one thing that has never changed in the 8 years of the pool it's that Bruce Penning absolutely SUCKS at picking the outcome of college football games - if we were smart we'd form a syndicate, pool our money, and bet the opposite of Bruce each week - we'd all be billionaires by season's end ! Bruce is well on the road to be the 1st 2 time PJA winner.

Erik Turner as a Miami of Ohio fan is very used to the concept of losing, failure, and heartbreak - enjoy the year pal.

Ed Sipes was busy playing Legos this weekend and couldn't be bothered with football.

You each will receive absolutely nothing for your loss this week except for deep shame and the scorn and abuse from your fellow poolsters who were just marginally better than you.


Good Luck in Week 2 Suckas !
