If you’re not familiar with the suicide pool format, it’s time you took off your rubber training pants and got with the program: You pick one team per week. If your team wins, you pick a different team to win next week, and you keep picking until your team loses. No picking the same team twice. That would be un-American.

Join St. Andrew’s Pool here; the password is stokke. And be quick about it: the season starts on Thursday. We WILL have prizes for the winner(s), probably some books and maybe some crap around my apartment in case the winner doesn’t know how to read. Wow, that would be strange. And kind of impossible once you stop and think about it.
