    SU survivor pool aka suicide pool.

    OK here's the deal for the uninitiated. You pick one NFL winner every week, no spread involved, and if your team wins you move on to the next week, it loses you're done! Anyway here's what makes it hard and where strategy comes into play. You can only use any given team once in a season for your winning pick. ( you can go against the same team as often as you like though) So in other words if say the Colts are playing the Browns on a particuliar week, you can take your tap in putt and feel good about your chances that week. Problem is as the season progresses if you've used up all the good teams and all you're left with is bottom feeders, chances are you'll have no chance to win. For example if you think the Bears will probably suck this year, but this week you see them pitted against the Lions at home, this might be a good week to take the Bears.

    anyway I think you all get the jist.

    so make your pick before Sunday kickoff every week and good luck.

    p.s, don't anyone try to be a smart ass and pick the winner of tonights game tommorow morning.

    Folks this is seperate from that. So while I encourage you to join the WIP pool and wish you luck don't forget to give your picks for this pool too. Don't worry I'll come up with a "swell" przve, maybe a SU thong and t-shirt set. Anyway I don't need to know your handle for that pool, just give me your weekly picks for this pool.

    I was kinda thinking we could just go on the honor system. Truthfully 2/3 of us will probably be gone before Ben's back, that's how it goes in these pools. Last year I was in a money suicide pool, I thought I'd be real clever and go with the Bengas week onel at home over the Donko's, I knew the Bengals were improved and the Donkey's sucked, remember how that one finished?

    In fact last year we did one on a board I posted at, and no one made it through September.

    Long story short, I just want to play, I don't want to be boss. I think we can all be honest and self police.



    Oh by the way for a prize I've decided to put up one of these.

    It's not necessarily about honesty but more so about remembering who you picked.

    I was in a money one a few years ago, 20 people, $20 each, and it came down to me and another woman she picked cleveland, me Pittsburgh, and wouldn't you know that was a game the clowns won! bastiches!

    Re: SU survivor pool aka suicide pool.

    Ok, I've created a spreadsheet (just because that's how I roll), and I guess we'll cut the voting off at 1pm EST Sunday? Or as long as the person picks a team that hasn't started playing (i.e. they pick a team at 1:30 that doesn't play until 4pm)?

    Let's set up some criteria just so we know who is in the running and who is not!
