and even though pretty much any of you reading this are reading it tomorrow (FRIDAY), we have a HOPSKI UPDATE!

Starting of course with the HOPSKI LEADERBORD:


Groketology:  AI of the Tiger (former Warsaw expat and hooper Stan Kwitnieski of Boulder, CO - and please note the Monkey Boy reference last update related to his comment to my proud girlfriend at the time - and wife now - that she was leading the pool in 2001 and Stan dropped a "any monkey can make picks" or something to that regard...... she promptly had an entry name for 2001 and with that luck she finished on the podium in 3rd!) leads the way after a perfect Elite 8 and 3 for 4 on the final four - with Dawg points keeping him at the top.

Moving up to 2nd place is To The Alamao For a Schwinn & Hopski Win (from Brett Meyers - the Founder of a Washington DC-Baltimore area charity call Nourish Now.  Nourish Now is a great endeavor and I strongly encourage any of you looking for a destination for charitable dollars to check it out here).
 

To The Alamo was one of 4 entries that were perfect last weekend, picking the Elite 8 and the Final Four.  This group also included 5th place #GreenlandStrong (Jack Bell, part of the Budapest AAndersen expat group that I joined in 1992 and THE mustard mock t-shirt and pretzel guy from our annual Oktoberfest gatherings and Drake Bulldog grad and btw also the person that intro'd me to Nourish Now from his time well spent in Washington DC), 7th place Tangled Up in Nofe (2 time Hopski champion Mark Nofe, an attorney that has just recently relocated to New Mexico (I think) where he is a Chief Clerk for a US District Court judge) and 18th place Does Tru TV Exist April through Feb? (ex-Warsaw expat and a Hopski Champion Mark Conlon - now back home in Minneapolis.  

Add Jack's 2 Hopski runner-up finishes and a 3rd as well and you have a real case of.......
