Thanks for starting things off HUNK...was in a training class all day yesterday. Congrats to BO and his krewe on a great night! Funny thing is...on our leaderboard, STATS (DJ) and I saw Stadium Cafe in the #1 slot with a 190.8 average...but the #1 individual score was MONARCH at BWW with a 182.8...so we weren't sure what was going on. Was that b/c BO crossed the 200 point threshold?
First round...I told STATS wrong on Frank Francisco (Reds over Mets...thinking of maybe Francisco Cordero?)...but rebounded on the racecar driver (IndyCar). 27/30.
Second round, I was slow on Louis Ousthuizen (4.8/5) as STATS is rattling off his tournament win, year, course, and nationality. And 1 for 5/5. A little slow on Matt Holiday (4.0/5)...then STATS (Oklahoma State) and I (Clemson) split on where his dad coached. STATS got Joe Montana (5/5) and I got the round (5/5). 23.8/30 with a box of 50.8.
Third round starts smoothly...Luke Donald, Cincinnati Reds, Dario Franchitti, Detroit Lions all 5/5. Martin Brodeur trips me up as I switch the E and U, and STATS had to correct me...1.9/5 by the time I get it right. Texas Rangers gets me back on track 5/5. Bleed on Ukraine (2/5). I tell STATS Orlando Magic (5/5) and Charlotte Motor Speedway (5/5). I get Chris Sale out..but the E doesn't register on my box...3.7/5 by the time I get it correct. 42.6/50 for the round...93.4 overall.
Fourth round...1994 (STATS thought based on the Olympics, I confirmed on Gordon) for 5/5. 2008 was 4/5 on 2006, 1976 (thanks STATS!) 5/5, 2003 was 3/5 as we were on 2001 until Aaron Boone, 1988 3/5 on 1989, 1997 3/5 on 1995, 1965 2/5 on 1962 until Jean Beliveau, and 2001 5/5. 30/40 that round...123.4 overall.
Fifth Round starts easy with the basketball schools to their conference 12/12. All time hit leader to their spot on the top 5...we swap Aaron and Musial 6/12. Boxing Champion to decade we swap Carnera and Walcott 6/12. 1998 NFL draft picks is a slam dunk (glad I could help STATS...does that mean I can come back next week?) 12/12. World Cup winner with the year was all STATS 12/12. Round of 48/60...overall 171.4.
STATS has a 182 and he says that's a medal...just not sure which one. I don't say anything based on how my picks went that night. Rankings come up...and he's got himself a silver (well...based on the rankings we saw Monday night). Nicely done sir.
Congrats to the usual suspects BO (#1 individual and bar), GAVV, MEGUMI, ROC, TOPH, JETS, LAWSON, TPG, O WLRG, OUCH, and any others I missed...and usual locations Stadium Cafe, 86th St, Runyons, BWW in Kent, Broken Barrel, JP Shakers, Hooters of Tallahassee, Hooters of Springfield, Slap-Shotz, Quaker Steak & Lube, Trophys, and the myriad of BWWs....and anyone I missed.
