Thanks for the recognition Big DD. I owe my success to the pressure that pl and DS put on. Their relentless pursuit of prognostication perfection was perilously close to producing a victory (Helplessly Hoping). But alas, my prowess provided the picks that perched me atop the board of dubious distinction (or is that spelled dis-stink-shun.) Anyway, the last week picks were done in under 3 minutes and therein lies the secret of success. Adieu. See you in March Madness where I have been know to pick schools based on their color schemes and religious affiliation.
