Deja Vu

For a summary of Week 2, 2011, in the Friends of Smoove B football pool, I refer you to this post from Week 2, 2010, in the Friends of Smoove B football pool.

Congratulations to Rick, who takes home both $50 and Jesse's Girl.

Now to the finances for this season.
Total pool: 25 (that's one MORE than last year, reversing a long stretch of attrition that left Smoove feeling a little less than, you know, smoove).

50 @ 25 = 1250
Weekly prize: 50 x 17 weeks = 850
This leaves 400 to divide amongst the overall winners. I propose:
250 for first
125 for second

As with last season, that's two places paying in January, plus the now traditional 25 for the Roo Award, which goes to the person who gets picks in every week but otherwise craters badly enough to finish dead last.

Speaking of Roo, who for whatever always gets some ink in Week Two, I have this announcement (cue the bugles).  The old boy is moving to, of all places, Pittsburgh.  Yinz beli've dat?



If you are able to join us for a little going away thing this coming Saturday night, please do. We will be at the Tosa Village Cafe Hollander sometime after 7:00 or so.  We'll have some snacks and tasty craft brews. We'll talk about all the things we love about Roo and all the things we hate about Pittsburgh.  A good time will be had by all.
