Pre-Championship Hopski 2nd Chance Dance Update

 


HOUSTON TO WIN:  Groketology:  AI of the Tiger (Stan Kwitnieski, Stan & I first met on the court in Warsaw back in 1993 and played hoops together for about 8 years or so I think - some very crazy, fun and memorable stories from our time on the court for sure!  In fact, I do believe I have video of Stan punting a few juice boxes into orbit after fouling out of a game (he has worse on me probably - just no video evidence!).  We did not catch a lot of breaks from a few certain Polish refs as I recall.  Stan is now relaxed and happy in Boulder, CO.  Groketology may find a silver lining to the Duke loss (eliminating this entry from winning the main pool) by now winning the 2nd Chance Dance with Houston! Most recent Stan photo I could search out online:

FLORIDA TO WIN:  I Smell Putin Over Here #2 (2013 Hopski Champion David Miller, son of my IU college and Bloomington based employer Steven Miller (in fact - I think we have 4 entrants this year that have worked for Steve while at IU!!).  David is based in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and allegedly spends a LOT of time researching things like the Hopski and fantasy football. While down in 10th place at the moment, a Florida victory will move the Putin Smeller up to the top of the Hopski 2nd Chance Dance!!  

And only since he is so consistently contending in the main pool - a quick shout out to entry name extraordinaire He's a Fla-Agg from Peter Pell who has solidly locked up the 2nd Chance Toilet Bowl with a 14% pick %!!!  Good that you save your expert picks for the main pool Peter!


Enjoy the games -
