I realize I haven't mentioned the contest in a while, since I've been a little busy with other things (I think Mr. Moerland knows what that might be, and possibly Mr. Paine). But, anyway, here is the list of the 60 lunatics (and me) who made the picks in the Contest. First off, school affiliations: In a bit of surprise to me, the most-followed team among our contestants were the Enginerds :-) of RPI with 8. Next was a tie between the top 2 teams in the country, the evil scum at BU :-) and the followers of the greatest team ever to grace the face of the planet, Michigan State, both with 5. The rest: 4 followers: Cornell 3 followers: Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Maine, Clarkson, Minnesota, Michigan 2 followers: Harvard, North Dakota, St. Lawrence, Mass-Lowell 1 follower: Colgate, Alaska-Anchorage, Minnesota-Duluth, Michigan Tech, North- eastern, Merrimack Following a combination of teams, or non-D1 teams, or no preference: 6 Those who chose to run the gauntlet: Tony Buffa, Andrew Frisch, Don Demick, Bob Constantine, Chris Paine, John McCum-iskey, Steve Moerland, Tark McMains, Rich Boehme, Kristen Robinson, Anthony Frolik, Eric Maiwald, Curt Nelson, Tim Newman, Andy Peed, Greg Williams, Glenn Gale, John Forsyth, I. R. Rutks, Steve Kapetanakis, Mike Machnik, Dave Kaufman, Jeff Kelly, Andrew Samwick, Nate Webster (who I still need a tiebreaker from), Lance Harry, J. Jodzis, Jeff Bowen, Jayson Moy, Ron Fraser, Bill Fenwick, Sean Pickett, Robb Dunn, Brian Roberts, Jeffrey Anbinder, Andy Weise, Peter Knapp, Brian Morris, Scott Biggar, William Krebs, Troy Thiele, Mark Johnson, Eric Hoffman, Bruce Spencer, Robin Lock, yours truly, Willis Lam, David Nicolai, Mike Sheehan, David Wang, Russell Jaslow, Steve Phillips, Steve Weisfeldt, Brian Gentry, Beth Darrah, Roger Freley, Dave Hendrickson, Ross Bracco, Eric Robinson, Lloyd Hsu, Joe Brownson Finally, the tiebreaker: Of the 60 I've gotten so far, the numbers range from a low of 36 to a high of 154. The average- 99.4. Once I get permission from the Yoda of Yost (I tried sending him a message, but it's held up at my end for some reason), I will post the Guppie, a compilation of the media predictions (which had a new addition today in McPaper). It could be out by the end of the day. G. M. Finniss Michigan State University 2-0-0, 3-0-0 WVU '87, UTenn '92, MSU who the hell knows when?
