AND THE WINNER IS...........

Dr. Don Klassen of Winkler, Manitoba has emerged victorious in this years Pool! Only a Hamilton victory (of all things) kept him in first place. (Finishing an extremely close second is Grant Hilliard of Halifax, Nova Scotia and and even closer third place goes to our devoted "closet Blue Believer" Ron Koop. Congrats men and email me your mailing addresses so I can send out some cheques (or PayPal if you prefer).

Thanks to everyone for another great season of the Super-Happy-Fun CFL Pool and I look forward to yet another great season next year. GO BOMBERS!!! GREY CUP 2007!!!

WEEK EIGHTEEN RESULTS

Before I get down to some strategizing and picture sharing I'd like to remind you all what the big prizes are for this season of the Super-Happy-Fun CFL Pool.

1st place - $207.00 and one year's supply of CFL prognosticational omnipotency

2nd place - $103.50 and a driving desire to "take it to the next level" (or various other athletic cliches)

3rd place - $34.50 and an empty "Oh, what could have been..." feeling


Now, Mr. G. Hilliard was kind enough to send out some pics from what appears to be a rather subdued gathering of CFL Poolies back in September. What was going through their minds...

"Dad...I have something to tell you..and it may come as a bit of a shock...but...but....I'm an Eskimos fan!"

(stunned silence)

"You're no son of mine."
















"This place is AWESOME! I mean, it's not Winnipeg Stadium North Endzone but hey, what can you expect. It's only Toronto!"
















KEVIN - "AHHHHHH!!!"

GRANT - "AARRGGGHHH!!!!!"

DAN - "GGGRRRRRRRR!!!!"

RON - "GO BOMBERS!!!"



As we enter the final week of the Pool it's time for some strategy. Which is different from making picks since I obviously don't know much about that aspect of the Pool.


Dr. Don - Slim lead and debating what to do. Do I risk using the Suicide week?

Grant - How do I gain those 4 extra points? Suicide? Risk dropping out of the top three?

Kevin - Prayer.

Ron - See Kevin.

The New Demoncats - Pick upsets and hope for some bad Suicide picks.

Pat - Suicide + Upsets = Only hope.

Everyone else - You're pretty much out of the race but pick upsets and hope for the best!

WEEK FOURTEEN RESULTS

Movement at the top!

Dr. Don Klassen parlayed a perfect week into top spot after Week 14. The Koop made a big jump as did the New Demoncats. Nice work folks.

With only 6 weeks remaining things are fairly wide open. The current leader has had an amazingly solid season (note the 6 perfect weeks) and has used his first two four-pointers admirably (also perfect weeks!) Hiding in the shadows are some Top Ten dark horses who've been saving their four-pointers (see Pudsey, Hiebert, and Winter) Should be an interesting finale...

Zak Jarosz - Big mover of the week by going for broke and cashing in on the Suicidal option.

Ronald Koop - Two perfect weeks in a row...does he know something we don't? Inside info direct from some seedy T.O. bookies?

WEEK NINE RESULTS

This week marked the momentous occasion of the Koop's Tri-Annual Winnipeg visit and subsequent attendance at Friday's Bomber-Argonaut game. In attendance with the Koop were season ticket holders Marls and Jeff along with Koop's Altona posse of Jonny S. (a.k.a. Cheryl Koop's hubbie) El Duque and myself.

With the best seats in the house we eagerly anticipated a classic match-up that would have us poised on the edges of our collective seats. We got a bit of a stinker. 15-13 ain't too exciting but at least the Bombers won! Koop's Argos hat wasn't enough to inspire his double-blue towards victory.

Some highlights of the eve...

1. Bombers win!

2. The smokie-chips-drink pre-game combo

3. Milt's 138 touchdown video review

4. Being within ten feet of Mike Pringle (that guy could still kill me with one arm)

5. The Fonz (ehhhhhhhhhhh!!!!)

6. Jeff's sweet celebratory dance moves

7. Beers are only $6.50!

8. Pitchers at the Fox and Hounds are only $11.60!

9. Koop getting dissed by the middle-aged lady behind us ("Don't forget you're commemorative Bomber beer cup!)

10. And of course...seeing the Koop


Don't forget that next weeks picks could very well be the life or death of your season. The mandatory 5 point suicide week is in effect and major point movements could be in order. A short review...5 points per game with a positive five for a correct pick and negative 5 for incorrect. Possibilities? 25 points for a perfect week. Also a possibility? Minus 20 points for an 0-fer. Pick carefully.

WEEK EIGHT RESULTS

Well, another tie this week which wouldn't have posed much of a problem until Koopie decided to push the rules envelope and use his 5 point suicide week. So how were his points doled out? Well, since he picked BC and Saskatchewan he automatically got 5 points for the SK win. A BC win got him 5 but a Calgary win was a minus 5 so they cancelled each other out in my eyes and he ended up with a 5 point week. A bold move Koopie and one that might have turned out to be brilliant, if not for the tie!

As for the rest of us not much was decided. A few minor shifts (minor since we all got either 4 or 5 points!) but the same rules apply for points for week nine: one game worth 4 points and one worth two. Hopefully no more ties.

Don't forget that in Week Ten we have our first MANDATORY 5 point suicide week. This week will not count as your usual 5 pointer which will remain intact if currently unused. As for combining it with any other combination of extra-point options....negative. No "doubl-suicide" weeks or "four-point/suicde combos" allowed. Enough said.

WEEK SEVEN RESULTS

Perfect weeks were in the mix this week as the Poolies racked up seven in total. Nice work! Dr. Don Klassen charged hard but couldn't quite overtake National Spokesperson for the Advancement of Sideburns, Kevin Hilliard. The rest of the followers are tightening the race.

A matter of note, those goose eggs you see behind some poolies names are not due to forgetfulness. Well, okay...two are. But two aren't! Just good old-fashioned crappy picking, right Koopie? Looks like a tight foot-race between the Argos and the Tabbies for last in the East...

WEEK SIX RESULTS

Who is this man? Why is he leading the Pool?? How did he score a perfect week this week when no one else could???





Don't worry folks, theres lots of season left to catch him. Just like the drug-fuelled Peloton of the Tour de France we'll slowly reel him and his wonderous mutton-chops in...

As for the coming weeks...this week is a 4 gamer but after that we have two two-game weeks ahead. Suggestions? My thoughts had been to have one game worth 2 points and one worth 4 points.

WEEK FIVE RESULTS

Now that Milt has finally taken over the CFL All-time Touchdown lead we can all get back to making our picks. I obviously took a week off to watch. But El Duque didn't! Congratulations to our first-ever 20 POINT WEEK! A few perfect weeks out there and its getting mighty tight at the top o' the heap. We're only 5 weeks in folks and theres a lot of f-ball to play...(reminder: Week 10 is a 5 point Suicide Week - like it or not.)

On another note, I've received all of the Pool fees (ok, one is "in the mail", right Pat?) and can officially disclose the prizes...

1st place - $ 207.00
2nd place - $ 103.50
3rd place - $ 34.50

And lastly, who wants to go see the Bombers throttle the Argos on Friday August 24th? The Koop is visiting the 'Peg for his second bi-annual Koopfest and we'd all love to have him buy us a $6 beer at the game. So lets talk it up and get organized...

WEEK FOUR RESULTS+

Can anyone in the East stop this man? After beating the Als on their home turf (season series is officially won!) I'd like to call out any Montreal fans in the Pool. Oh wait. There probably aren't any left (at least none brave enough to admit it!)

WEEK TWO RESULTS

A solid week for a bunch of poolies. The new bonus system for perfect weeks will really make a huge difference!


Props go out to the rookie Pat Strain. Solid hands all through training camp earned a spot with the big kids but can this rook keep it up for 20 weeks? Hmmm......

And how 'bout them Bombers! I'd like to point out that Michael and Blair were the only two poolies who didn't believe in Bomber Blue this week. Check out where that got them!

WEEK ONE RESULTS

Welcome to a new season of the Super-Happy-Fun CFL pool! A special welcome goes out to all our rookies this year (Randy, Michael, Sonya, Pat and Ian)

Firstly, lets clarify a few things. After checking back with the head of the rules committee it was decided that in the event of a tie (extremely rare) the points placed on the game (for whichever team) would be split in half. This is the system used in the past. Then the rules committee head decided to try and change the rules (probably to his own devious advantage) but YOUR EL PRESIDENTE (Presidente for the People!) put and end to this malicious attack on decency. You're welcome.

Secondly, pool fees are due by July 27th. Thanks to those who have already paid and/or sent payment.

Thirdly, Ian Pudsey. You're a rookie Ian and I started off liking your moxie. Adressing me with "Hail El Presidente" was a smart move. Unfortunately ending your emails with "Go Riders" will get you nowhere. Fast.

Fourth, congratulations go out to the New Demoncats on their pending nuptials! Good luck Andrea and Jonathan!

Fifth, El Presidente is heading out on vacation for a few days and will be unavailable for press conferences, coronations, gala dinners, etc., until Friday or Saturday. So I won't be sending out any reminder emails about getting your picks in either. Week Two picks are due by 7 PM Central (8 PM Eastern) on Thursday July 5th. In my absence El Duque will NOT be in charge.

Alright, on to the first week's tallies...


1. Pat Strain - 9.5 points
