Subject: COLLEGE BOWL POOL - LAST CALL ---Last call for College Bowl Pool picks.  The Independence Bowl kicks off in about a half hour. I'll circulate a pick sheet to all players later tonight or tomorrow. Good luck to all! -The Commissioner On Fri, Dec 21, 2018 at 6:15 AM Andy Klein <anrklein at gmail.com> wrote:The 24rd Annual College Bowl Pool With apologies for a slow start, greetings and welcome to the College Bowl Pool’s 24th Year!  Due to the Commissioner’s travels, we’ll start a bit later this year, beginning with the Independence Bowl on December 27.  Once again, we will include the National Champion Game.  That means entering one of four teams as a title game winner (Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, or Notre Dame) and assigning points according to your own tolerance for risk.  We have less than a week until the games begin, 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 confidence accordingly (i.e., 23 on the game in which you have the most confidence down to 1 on the game in which you have the least confidence).  All entries must be submitted to anrklein at gmail.com BEFORE KICKOFF OF THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL ON DECEMBER 27.   Please put the words “Bowl Pool” in the subject line of your message.  And, if possible, submit picks in the order of the games, rather than re-arranging the list in confidence order.  This helps me expedite entering selections into Brother Pete’s spreadsheet.  One other note:  Don’t pick in order (e.g., chronologically from 1-23 or 23-1.)  That is not in the spirit of the game!  THE PARTICIPANTSI am sending this message to players from previous years and other potentially interested people (or at least those for whom I have an e-mail address).  Please feel free to forward the message to others who might want to play.THE STAKESThe pool is for pride and charity.  NFL Pool players already have “paid” through a gift to the Devin Shafron Memorial Fund, which is now managed by the Chicago Community Trust.  (And if you haven’t paid, this is an excellent time to send your check.)  The Fund is a foundation established by Phyllis Shafron in memory of her son, and our friend, Devin.  Its historical purpose has been to provide new books for Chicago public school libraries; more recently it has expanded to support a variety of other youth-related causes in the Chicago area.  The foundation has raised tens of thousands of dollars and donated to dozens of organizations in Devin’s memory.  There are several schools that have plaques in honor of The Pool’s contribution.  If anyone would like more information about the foundation, or how to make a small contribution as a “fee” for the pool, let me know. PREVIOUS CHAMPIONS1995-1996:  Historical data lost in the Great Klein Computer Crash of '971997:  Mark Winick1998:  Michelle DiOrio1999:  Rick Gammons2000:  Jeff Cohen2001:  Jim DiOrio2002:  Andy Klein2003:  Pete Klein2004:  Jeff Winick2005:  Pete Klein2006: Andy Klein2007:  Bill Jones2008:  Bob Schussel2009:  Jason Klein2010:  Sam Winick2011:  Mark Winick2012:  Dan Cole2013:  Jim Weil2014:  Ezra Blocker2015:  Tim Klein2016:     Sam Winick2017:     Mark Kerber/Tim Klein/Jim WeilTHE GAMESIndependence Bowl (Dec. 27): Temple vs. DukePinstripe Bowl (Dec. 27): Miami vs. WisconsinTexas Bowl (Dec. 27): Baylor vs. VanderbiltMusic City Bowl (Dec. 28): Purdue vs. AuburnCamping World Bowl (Dec. 28): West Virginia vs. SyracuseAlamo Bowl (Dec. 28): Iowa State vs. Washington State Peach Bowl (Dec. 29): No. 10 Florida vs. No. 7 MichiganBelk Bowl (Dec. 29): South Carolina vs. VirginiaArizona Bowl (Dec. 29): Arkansas State vs. NevadaCotton Bowl (Dec. 29): No. 2 Clemson vs. No. 3 Notre DameOrange Bowl (Dec. 29): No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 OklahomaMilitary Bowl (Dec. 31): Cincinnati vs. Virginia TechSun Bowl (Dec. 31): Stanford vs. PittsburghRedbox Bowl (Dec. 31): Michigan State vs. OregonLiberty Bowl (Dec. 31): Missouri vs. Oklahoma StateHoliday Bowl (Dec. 31): Northwestern vs. UtahGator Bowl (Dec. 31): NC State vs. Texas A&MOutback Bowl (Jan. 1): Mississippi State vs. IowaCitrus Bowl (Jan. 1): Kentucky vs. Penn StateFiesta Bowl (Jan. 1): No. 11 LSU vs. No. 8 UCFRose Bowl (Jan. 1): No. 9 Washington vs. No. 6 Ohio StateSugar Bowl (Jan. 1): No. 15 Texas vs. No. 5 GeorgiaNational Championship (Jan: 7):  Cotton Bowl Winner v.
