[NU Sports] PIGSKIN PICKS - Final Standings

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Just trying to occupy myself in the midst of New
Orleans' loss ... I shoulda known something was wrong
when the entire universe started picking the Saints
(hey, get off MY bandwagon!:) ) ... but a lot like the
BCS game. We had our shots and abandoned the run when
we cut it to 17-14 (or 16-14 today) and it got ugly
from there.

Oh well, congrats to Mark Ament and Neil Kaplan who
both finished 15-5 in this year's bowl pool (and I
forgot the tiebreaker - doh!). And also to Bob
Waldele, who won last year's bowl pool.

An updated hall of fame ...
