  Vindy sent an email today to returning members, and picks appear to be open for week 2 as well.
  
  In addition, since the members and groups carry over from year to year on there, I'll boot all of the members in the group from 2010 who didn't come back after a week or two (that way I know they're out of it). That way we don't have to scroll through a bunch of 0's to see how everyone did.
• GoPens

  

  I didn't get an email but I'm in. Wonder what the prize is this year? I didn't do too bad last year.
• CardsFlyinHigh

  GoPens, that's only because you're an endless supply of high school sports information
• GoPens

  

  Ha. I wish. What are you up to now? PM me if you'd like.

  This is the only thing the Vindy Blitz gets right lol. But I like this and this year will be better being in a group as this. Good luck to all I hope someone from our group wins it this year Uhmmm ME LOL just kidding...
• ts1227

  

  Week 1 results are in, and I removed anyone with a score of 0 from the group. I assume those people were in it in 2010 but chose not to return.
  
  If you simply missed week 1 and want back in, just send another request. Instructions are in the first post here
• Falcons53

  Hey, I am tied for the lead in our group and I haven't lived in the Valley since 1996!! You guys should be kicking my butt.
• Ohio

  

  I got 13 i think im tied for the lead as well.
• GoPens

  

  I had a poor week. 11.
• reddevil90

  

  Man i change up my original picks. I would have had 12 if i didn't mess with anything!!! But i got the Ursuline one right.. LOL... and that's the one i changed after reading about the red lion team on the net. But i got 10!! i suck.
• Ohio

  

  I don't like this weeks picks :/
• ts1227

  

  2 people in the group had a perfect 20 this past week. Who was it? Come and brag! (names on there don't match names on here)
  
  Most everyone had at least a 17. I had 18.
• Ohio

  

  I only had a 17 i got spanked last week.
• GoPens

  

  I suck this year. I had 17. Week one killed me with my 11.
• Spread All Day

  

  niles or salem? its killing me. i picked salem
• Falcons53

  I had 19, missed on Niles over Liberty. After they struggled so much against a bad Cleveland City school, I figured Liberty would take care of the Red Dragons. Good for Niles!
  
  Spread All Day, same struggle here.
• Ohio

  

  Very tough pick this week with the niles salem game...... I expect alot of people to have alot of points this week.
• firestonefan

  

  I hit a perfect 20 last week. Gives me 31 for the season. Some real tough picks this week!
• Falcons53

  Anyone else have a rough week? I scored only 13 this week. Not good.
• Ohio

  

  I had 16 I knew salem was going to pull it out :] This week has alot of up in the air games and a couple ones to make you think.
