 prize enough.

Here's the deal.

I ran this in 90.  In 91 Joe Cotanch ran it. I have no idea what happened
in 92. If'n anyone has a claim against 90 or 92, send me some supporting
evidence and we'll settle the affair.

Now to 93. Scam? That's the ticket. I made up this whole thing just to
get some mail. It can be so lonely around the holidays and we know how
some are prone to seasonal depression. If'n it weren't for the mail, not
to mention the prestige of having one's own ::SPORTS topic, I'd uh have
uh uh Blue ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo Christmas.

But I digress. In this contest, this year, there will be awarded 3, count
'em 3, prizes: firsted, seconded and lasted.

Entries are arriving while we note.

    just don't do anything drastic.  A friend of my wife's just got a job
    as a receptionist in a local mortuary.  The mortician tells her, "The
    holidays are our busy season."

Funny how the largest spread is between the top 2 teams. We'll Bobby and FSU will
finally get thier title. Unless the Heisman jinx strikes Ward. I remember
Testaverdee has a terrible night against PSU the year he won it. Also the QB 
from Miami last year (I'm brain dead on his name).

Actually, there probably are.

Madge sent me something from Australia one time that never got here.

It was traced as far as Northboro, then just disappeared.  Now if it was
the dread DEC KBG checking out internal mail, then I'm sure I would
have heard something about it.  But I never heard anything about it at all.

Luckily I did get a replacement at a later date....

Couple of Admin items:

1. A total of 31 people entered, most of whom also had a tie breaker
total, albeit some with additional urging.

2. All entries have been POOLarized so we don't have score by hand. In
case you don't have HBAHBA::POOL_94 in your notebook, hit that KP7 button
for access. Picks are topic 32. If you have any problems with access,
send me mail.

3. Results will be posted in topic 33.

148.73And Karen Derry another winnerAKOCOA::BREENIt was in the bleak DecemberWed Jan 04 1995 12:245
    And another (insert favorite pc-correct designation) won week one of
    the playoffs with three correct and a more astute tie-breaker number.
    
    As number 2 I really did like Browns but can't pick against Pats for
    fear of some celestial cataclysm.
