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!

And speaking of CLICHES, " --- our backs are against the walls in the picks for this final week , "there is no tomorrow",, " it's all of nothing" etc, etc -- sounds like this years World Series!!

Send in more cliches for me to ponder, as I try to hornswoggle Dr Don heading intothis, our last roundup!
