    I have reactivated the ESPN app for the upcoming holidays. Very simple and straight forward 10 point for each correct pick. (46 picks) Invites have been extended, just click on groups and choose Skyboxers, If you use your invite to register, you should not have any passwords to enter etc. You can always edit the enrolled name to one of your choosing. Enjoy!

    I have learned that many people did not receive an invite. I have emailed another more complete list. If you receive a duplicate invite just ignore. Thanks Don

    I have entered.
    I will crush my enemies...
    See them driven before me...
    And hear the lamentations of their women!

    (Considering I have watched about 5 minutes of football this year, I'm sure to do better than in the past!)

    Seriously, Scott, that truly is an advantage vs. overthinking every game and still coming up wrong.

    It would appear that we are going to be a much smaller group this time around?

    I just lack interest since the Irish aren't involved.
