Let's try this again. A false start on yours truly yesterday earned me a $10 penalty, which after the first week ranks me in the bottom quartile of the national standings. Apologies to donnieray, who has the unique distinction now of being the only fan in college football to have won, then lost, three games in three seasons. (Seriously, though, he's getting a $10 gift certificate, too.)
So the real winner for week one is . . . excuse me, waiter, what's this KU fan doing in my pool? Yes, KUfan25 is #winning, and he or she gets a $10 gift certificate. And just because this is spit out by the program, here's this again: For the rest of us, remember, you can still get either (1) officially licensed Tennessee Volunteer hoodies, jackets, t-shirts and more at the Rocky Top Talk licensed store, or (2) your very own custom tees at the Rocky Top Talk custom store. I'm thinking about . . . well, a new design, but I'm not putting it here right now because the last time I did that, Johnny Majors ended up wearing somebody else's Fear the Pants shirts in the student section.
KUfan25, look for a confirmation email with instructions on how to claim your prize. Donnieray, we'll gladly honor the email you got yesterday. For both of you, though, you need to respond within three business days, or the rules require us to award the prize to the next person on the list.
There is still a $50 gift certificate up for grabs to whoever finishes first for the entire season, so keep playing.
This week's actual top ten and the season top ten are below the jump. You can view the full standings at Fun Office Pools.
