    It is a glorious day in the 'ville....

    When Howard Schnellenberger said Louisville football "was on a collision course with the national championship" back in '85 -- everyone rolled their eyes, including many UofL fans. The fact is with the exception of the few years of Ron Cooper helming the ship, the football program has steadily improved year in and year out...

    This may be a basketball city first and foremost, but right now football rules the roost... The town is having a blast and last night was glorious. Blackout indeed! Did you see the stands? And to have an actual black-out occur was awesome...

    What a great vibe... sorry for the derail. Back to the pros... and the pool.

    --- one happy cards fan:)
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I'm saying the Saints'll be all over the Steelers.

    Having said that, however, you'd be wise to pick the Steelers (based upon my prediction capablities as evidenced last week).

    We have a new method for selecting our picks this week, BTW. We'll see how it works out.

    Usually a game is "off" if there's some circumstance that's up in the air that could affect the outcome of the game. I assume in Seattle's case it's the possible presence of either / both Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Well we are winding down and it looks like a battle royale between Dragon1952 and Tide.

    Who gets to wear the " 2006-2007 Club Polk Football Pool Champion" title ?

    I started to warm up a little too late. Oh well, there's always next year.

    Good luck

    I have been moving for the past couple weeks from S. Cal to Oregon and played the last 2 weeks in advance. I just today got my internet connection in my new digs and found that I was able to squeak it out by 1 game over Tide.
    I tell you...this moving **** is a drag. I rented a 26 ft U-Haul and couldn't fit everything in it. I drove it 1100 miles and had to fly back and rent another 17 footer plus a 6x12 trailer and make another trip. The second trip I said 'screw this' and drove straight through. I'm in a rental for up to 6 mos while my new house is being built so I get to do this again shortly. I've never worked so hard in my life :( Anyway, kudos to Tide for a close, hard fought battle. It was a lot of fun!
    Oh, BTW...this is my second win in the 3 years of this contest. Not to brag as each win was by an RCH but just trying to motivate y'all for next year! :p
