March Madness and the Hopski are off and running - as are the underdog bonus points!
Congrats to Keith Dambrot on postponing his retirement as Coach of Duquesne with the first big upset of the tournament! Love that he is going out in style, with this being the school's first tournament win since 1969!!!
2 games in the books and 2 underdog point generating games, with the 5 point bonus for picking Duquesne over BYU garnered by 42 of our 141 entries this year!!
The 25th Annual Hopski field is set with 141 entries this year, all seeking to find Hopski Glory like these Hopski Champions:
Or...... NOT...... Like our Toilet Bowl "Winners" of years' past:
A break down of our entries' in terms of Final 4, Championship Game and Champion picks for the 2024 Tournament (this can be found on the pool website along with other interesting data and current standings).
If last year's "Hopski goes live to the Champion during the Championship Game" streak continues, Jeff Wagoner (Phoenix resident and my roommate from Indiana U.) may be a frontrunner for this year's Hopski Title as we'll be attending the Championship Game together in Phoenix - courtesy of my favorite reward credit card - BILT!!! They made available tickets on the March 1st Rent Day giveaway which the Commish nabbed for the final game.
Wags though must promise to not order any whip cream with his beer (that is a Guiness in there!).....
OR for any drink for that matter.......
Good luck and get those entry fees in if not already paid up!!
