Do I need an invite??

Come one, come all! It's almost regular season time again! Time for the Times Four Isbell2Hutson Memorial NFL Picks Pool to rev up its engine once more.

For those of you who are too new to remember, the late, great I2H was a wonderful guy, a lifelong Packer fan, and many other honorable things too numerous to name, whose x4 board name came from his favorite QB/receiver team that he'd watched in his youth. (That's his avatar at the top of the page, with Wisconsin and the ship, if newer people ever wondered.)

He also used to run a X4 picks contest that he set up by hand before such things as online pools became ubiquitous, and I used to help him with it. Since then, I've continued running it, but we've done it through the online pool at CBS. It's a straight-up picks pool, win or lose, no point spreads, etc., for X4 bragging rights.

If you played before you probably got an email with this year's info.

If you haven't played the picks contest before and want to join, or if you can't find your old info and want to rejoin under a new ID, go to:

http://x4i2h.football.sportsline.com/e

and sign up.

The password is x4i2h.

We are pretty understanding around here about pick deadlines, etc. If you are going on vacation, hunting, or something and need to turn in a couple weeks worth in advance of what the computer will let you, or forgot to get your picks in until just 10 minutes before the game and the system was locked, forgot there was a Thursday night game and are willing to take a loss on that if you can pick the rest of the week's games, etc., PM me. Please don't use the CBS pool email. I just have people PM me here at X4 if they want to send me early picks over vacation, late picks after a deadline but before a game, or have other problems making picks. That way I'll see right away if I have a message, and it will still have time and date on it for verification purposes.

Actually last year there was an option I could set up where I could approve it to let you make late picks if you were willing to take a loss on, say, a Thursday game. Haven't delved into the inner workings this year to see if that's stayed the same or if I have to reset those settings, but if there is any such problem, just PM me, and sooner or later I will get the info into the standings and it will update.

Last year I also added Quiet One as a co-captain when I was having computer issues, so if I get hit by a bus or something, she should still be able to help you--if she's willing to be my backup again.
