    Also please let everyone know that my husband Neil(Rogator) has passed away. Some may not have known that he was a quadriplegic for over 30 years do to a car accident. He was an awesome man and husband.. and loved his Gators. He didn't always post alot on skybox, but was an avid reader and follower. Thank you.

    Question: Do any of you remember the last time Rogator was in the contest? He did not participate last year, but I could not find anything for 2017 under Skyboxers either. An old Group ID would help if you happenn to have that information. Thanks.

    I am so sorry to read about this and my condolences to Leota. I still remember some of his funny posts written years ago after Treefrog won the SB football pick em contest about how painful it was going to be looking at her championship trophy.

    R.I.P. Rogator. A truly remarkable example of courage.

    :(

    In September last year you mentioned he had failed to make his picks. Terry mentioned he was in first place sometime in August last year.

    Yeah I guess I’m older than I would like to admit but I plainly recall Rogator being a voice of reason I admired as I migrated toward Skybox
