Jane (kiss_my_hawt_hiney and man.killer01) from Magic Pool has sadly passed away at the age of 57 on Monday, December 14th 2009. Many of us know her as the sweet, caring & loving friend who is most known for running Magic Pool in their glory years, and cleaning all the garbage up. A true Texan at heart, young Jane excelled in Barrel Racing [Rodeo event where a horse & its rider completes a clover-like pattern in the quickest time possible], but later on her ambition for pool rose to the top. Not only was she an ambassador of Yahoo! Pool, helping admin WPC, IPA & PRO, she had founded the South Texas Pool League and had been the President for the past 10 years. One who always pushed for everyones best, Jane's bottom line was all about having fun, and it was imminent in Y!Pool as Magic Pool was one of the most active, most fair & well run leagues in its time. The current HA of MP, Ian, was one who knew her best over his 5 years on here, and he had this to say.. "She was a very good friend whom will be missed by many Magic Poolers and anyone else who was given a chance to know her, and she will certainly be missed by me so much. RIP Jane your pain is over."
It's hard to put ones influence, especially Janes, into words. Her obituary's are below, Jane, thank you for everything you have done, you will be missed, RIP.

Brit Pool [3-6] vs Straight Shots [5-4]
BP's top of the table schedule run hasn't done well for them so far, as they are 2-8 combined against MP & Freedom respectively. While BP are all the way down in 7th, they aren't that far out of the playoffs at all, and this week could be the deciding factor in their post-season fate. With Straight Shots big 3-2 win over MP this past week, they find themselves into a tie for second place after an abysmal start to the season. Nick [who has a great blog recapping the matches & MVP's] has been their key player in that run, as he has won 4 straight matches and seems to be the one that was needed to tip SS over the top & grab those wins. These two sides are very evenly matched, so it may come down to luck, and I'm thinking one team will snap their tough-luck slide in the process.
Prediction - 3-2 BP
Magic Pool [5-4] vs Money in the Bank [2-7]
Magic Pool are coming off a tough loss to SS as a possible 2 game lead for MP over SS changed to a draw and holds MP back a notch. The problem for MP (again) are that those consistent players, aren't showing up anymore. Steve was a key member of MP but needed a new scenery change to say the least, but the core of MP that are able to show 90% of the time is dwindling down, but Chris is Chris after all, and should have some tricks up his sleeve. Rich & company didn't need to roll their sleeves up this past week as they were paid & had the day off. With a no-show by their opponents SP, they get one step closer from getting out of the cellar and making a jump up the standings. With everything Rich has going on for him these days, he could very well pull off an upset should he get his best to show and MP continue to falter.
Prediction - 3-2 MP
Sexy Poolerz [5-4] vs Extreme Pool Competitors [5-4]
Both sides here no-showed last week, both had their excuses, in the end the losses were accepted and we all move on. SP come in as the favourites to de-throne Freedom even though EPC are the only side to defeat them. With MP having consistently issues and SS making a late run with a lesser line-up, I would be heavily surprised if neither of these teams finished in the top 2. SP have much more consistent, solid talent then EPC, but when EPC show they can do quite a bit of damage, but which EPC will show this week?
Prediction - EPC 3-2
Ultimate Outlaws [4-5] vs Freedom [7-2]
Coming off a no-show victory, UO have crept within 1 win of drawing even with second place, the problem? 4 others are tied for that second place, but with a win here, UO will be able to gain some major ground, and try to be the second team to defeat the front runners. Freedom have lead the entire way, and it seems every time they slip up, everyone else has as well. With the calibre of players on his line up, Petey has multiple weapons, and multiple MVP candidates to choose from and I don't see them slipping up anytime soon.
Prediction - 4-1 Freedom
