Greetings Scrummers!
Our fearless commissioner is buried under projects and left the ball wobbling on our back step. I scooped it up and will be running with it for a week or two until the Dallas Chocolate Festival is complete and the gift of time has returned to our leader.
We’re hoping for a full return of competitors this year and perhaps we can welcome in a few more.
The basic rules:
1. Send me or Emily $10. Your credit is no good here, so ante up!
2. Each week send Emily your pick. Send it only to her, not the whole group, so that everyone can make their own pick. Email her or send a text.
3. If you team wins, you advance. If your team does not win, you get a strike. On your second strike, you are eliminated. You can only pick any team once each season. This is self-policing. If you accidentally submit a team you’ve already used, catch the commissioner before kick-off to reconcile! Ties count as a loss.
The football season starts on Thursday September 8. If you want that game, then you need your pick in before kick off. Otherwise, end of day Friday. Here’s a link to week one’s line ups:

Not fired up, yet? Does it bother you that the trophy hasn’t left Texas in four years? Here’s a picture of this year’s chief villain Jim Mantooth with his trophy. If that doesn’t rile you up, nothing will!
Game on!
