So, will that be a hat or a shirt, Lefty?

Thank you, Gauss for running this - it's been fun and I hope we do it again next year.

As my last prediction shows, I was hoping to win the prediction game WHILE enjoying a Stanford Rose Bowl win - a close and hard-fought game but a win nonetheless.  With Stanford striking out at the Rose Bowl there is no joy in the Lefty Mudville after mighty Gaffney has struck out.  May next year's prediction game winner (and the Stanford offense) prove to be more lucky.

On the other hand, at least two of us predictors beat the best of the media insiders (congrats Extra Point).  Plus I get that nifty Gauss provided picture tribute.  Woot!  Woot!

Looking back at my predictions I see I predicted a 13-1 record while Stanford went 11-3.  I missed on predictions of a loss to Oregon and wins at Utah, USC and in the Rose Bowl.  So not that impressive!  I think my ultimate win is mostly due to reading this team's nature early on in the season and sticking with that read despite temptations to be a more enthusiastic fan.  I saw this team as suspect offensively but with a shutdown defense leading me to stick with low scoring wins out the gate when others were predicting higher scoring games or Stanford blowouts.  By making unpopular low scoring picks I may have had a contrarians advantage (Gauss' numbers show I had the most negative offensive bias of anyone in the top 10 - not inherently a good thing.)

I get a Cardboard shirt for winning?  That's pretty cool - I have last year's hat and long sleeved shirt but hadn't ordered this year's version .  I'll send Yvonne a PM.

I want to add my thanks to Gauss for all his time in running this game for us.  It was really fun and forced me to examine my hopes for a game's outcome versus my more objective thoughts. 

My goals were to beat the sports writers (Gemmel & Miller), beat Garvin, and finish in the top ten.  Three out of four isn't bad and I probably would have achieved all four if I had only put in a prediction for the San Jose State opener.  I was too nervous about mojo and woofing gods to make a prediction before the season started.  Here's to more fun next year!

Cheers,
Pete F.

My thanks to Gauss too.

I'm kind of proud of finishing in the top 10 after having handicapped myself by predicting both of the first two games would be 42-0 blowouts. At that point I decided being in last place wasn't fun and tried to be more realistic. But I still predicted a Stanford victory in every game!
