Thats weird. It appears to be working now, sorry.  
Maybe it was Yahoo trying to spare me the humiliation of being knocked out of first.  
Damn you **Updike**! Damn you to hell!

Ok folks…reset time for [the suicide pool](http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/7434)!

I tried (oh, how I tried) to make up a nice, attractive recap of how the original one went down (since we’ll lose all that info after the reset). I attempted to post a nice chart, a la **Ellis Dee** ’s charts in the weekly pick 'em thread, but it came out…ungood.

So, fuggit. I’m just going to post this slop C&P-style:

They’re over in IMHO. I don’t see the Week 11 thread yet, but [here’s the Week 10 one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=344355) (one of **Ellis** ’ charts is post #3).

Bwuh? Closed? Strange, it should be open. Try going [here](http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival/register/joinprivategroup) and choosing Group ID# 7434, password “cecil”.

Just want to give this a bump. Since I know I never saw it until I searched for it. Remember, you’ve got to have your pick in by 1:00 EST.
