        I still had my control sheet from last time. Making it so much easier to match up ST names to real names. - Meg Nov 26, 10:29 2
        
        I didn't but figured that you know me personally! -- nm - zork Nov 26, 10:34
        
        I figured you know most everyone -so should be easier for you than me :). Besides - why reinvent the wheel if you are willing to be our Lotto Commish? - JenBro Nov 26, 10:34
        
        It's a variant of one that I've had for years when I did a huge office pool. Is it the same prizing structure as the last one? - zork Nov 26, 10:25 2

        (quarterback) -- nm - David Nov 26, 09:01 6
        
        Ah. I think I agree, can't really think of any recent examples to test this though. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 26, 09:13 5
        
        There aren't any....Vick iirc left after his redshirt sophomore year... - Will Hunting Nov 26, 09:30 4
