I was looking through everyone’s aliases and was so amused I decided some were worthy of recognition.  So before the next phase of the contest kicks into high gear, I present to you the 2007 Name Game awards.

  • The Come On, Tell Me Your REAL Name award goes to Skid Booles.  Skid entered last year, and to this day, I still want to know if that’s his real name.

  2. I wanted to put something in here all week. As your leader in this pool, I think I should offer something inspiring. But if I am honest, I don’t know what I am doing in first place. I just guessed at most of the contests. But then, didn’t you too? Tonight, as Southern Illinois almost beat Kansas, I thought maybe I am on to something. I picked SIU to beat Kansas. If that had happened, I might be giving you my 800 number. And you would all think…………WOW………what does she know that we don’t? Instead, you will be calling me a loser. Now I am watching the OSU game. Oh my. that’s not going my way!

    So I fully expect to fall from my throne tonight. And that’s ok. I had my 15 minutes of fame. That’s more than most people have. I had a smile on my face all week. Did you?

    Good luck and may the best man/woman win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m glad this is just for fun……………..I had a lot of fun this week!!!!!
