[USML Announce] COLLEGE BOWL POOL - YEAR 24!!

[springkerb at aol.com]

This shortened version is a lame-ass scheme to keep me from repeating!  I blame Robbins.
But you won't stop me, when I walk out of the Rose Bowl with Gigi (yeah, we're going), I expect to be right back on top.

Subject: COLLEGE BOWL POOL - YEAR 24!!

The 24rd Annual College Bowl Pool With apologies for a slow start, greetings and welcome tothe College Bowl Pool’s 24th Year!  Dueto the Commissioner’s travels, we’ll start a bit later this year, beginningwith the Independence Bowl on December 27. Once again, we will include the National Champion Game.  That means entering one of four teams as atitle game winner (Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, or Notre Dame) and assigningpoints according to your own tolerance for risk.  We have less than a week until the gamesbegin, so make your picks promptly!Here’s a reminder on how things work …THE RULESThis is a confidence pool. Pick the winners of each bowl game and weight your confidenceaccordingly (i.e., 23 on the game in which you have the most confidence down to1 on the game in which you have the least confidence).  All entries must be submitted toanrklein at gmail.com BEFORE KICKOFF OF THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL ON DECEMBER 27.   Please put the words “Bowl Pool” in thesubject line of your message.  And, ifpossible, submit picks in the order of the games, rather than re-arrangingthe list in confidence order.  This helpsme expedite entering selections into Brother Pete’s spreadsheet.  One other note:  Don’t pick in order (e.g., chronologicallyfrom 1-23 or 23-1.)  That is not in thespirit of the game!  THE PARTICIPANTSI am sending this message to players from previous years andother potentially interested people (or at least those for whom I have ane-mail address).  Please feel free toforward the message to others who might want to play.THE STAKESThe pool is for pride and charity.  NFL Pool players already have “paid” througha gift to the Devin Shafron Memorial Fund, which is now managed by the ChicagoCommunity Trust.  (And if you haven’tpaid, this is an excellent time to send your check.)  The Fund is a foundation established byPhyllis Shafron in memory of her son, and our friend, Devin.  Its historical purpose has been to providenew books for Chicago public school libraries; more recently it has expanded tosupport a variety of other youth-related causes in the Chicago area.  The foundation has raised tens of thousandsof dollars and donated to dozens of organizations in Devin’s memory.  There are several schools that have plaquesin honor of The Pool’s contribution.  Ifanyone would like more information about the foundation, or how to make a smallcontribution as a “fee” for the pool, let me know.
