Twins vs. Cubs vs. Hamm’s Tall Boys
Several weeks ago I went up to Minnesota with Tim, Barb, Marcia, and Donnie to visit Nate, Bethany, Becca, and DaeHee. The focus of the trip was an interleague baseball matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Minnesota Twins.
The Cubs won 8-2.
Here are some pictures from the trip:

Sadness Ensues
It is the time of year that is filled with sadness. Another college basketball season has come to an end. But despite the gloom that will set upon the land for many more months, it is a time of joy as well. We get to crown a new King of the Roundball Oracles. A new name goes on the plaque of immortals with these past champions:
Roundball Oracles Past Champions.
2011 – Carrie Baier
2010 – Mark Wolfram
2009 – Mark Wolfram
2008 – Mark Wolfram
2007 – Tim Peterson
2006 – William McAlpine
2005 – William McAlpine
The latest immortal is…
Lowell Davis
In the closes Roundball Oracle competition ever, Lowell beat Corey Faust on the tiebreaker.
I will be ordering Lowell’s trophy soon and will be presenting it to him in the very near future. I’m sure there will be photographic evidence to back this up presented in this forum in due time.
Another reason why it was a good year for the Roundball Oracles is that we set a new record with 29 combatants. Shattering the previous participation mark by several people.
Without further adieu, here are the final standings of the 8th Roundball Oracles Challenge:
Rank/Name/Points/National Title Choice/Last Year’s Finish
1. Lowell Davis – 275 – Kentucky – 13th
2. Corey Faust – 275 – Kentucky – 6th
3. Jason Baier – 265 – Kentucky – 5th
4. Angie DeWaard – 255 – Kentucky – DNP
5. Robert Henning – 245 – Kentucky – 8th
6. William McAlpine – 236 – Kentucky – DNP
7. Mark Wolfram – 235 – Ohio State – 15th

26. Toby Sebring – 157 – North Carolina – DNP
27. Brandon Kahler – 142 – Kansas State – DNP
28. Jordan Toot – 119 – North Carolina – DNP
29. Becky Perkovich – 0 – Undecided – DNP
Some people might think that I need to explain why somebody with my nearly infinite basketball knowledge could have fared so poorly, but I will not defend my lowly ranking. Truth is that my goal is just to beat Russell and the fact that I didn’t this year means that I will have to try harder next year. I cannot let RMK get the best of me two years in a row!
Even though the dust has barely settled on this year’s NCAA tournament, I am already very excited for next year’s season. I think that the Cyclones will be even better next season and I can’t wait to see them prove me right. I guess until the season begins anew, I will look forward to the Spring Football Game that is only days away!
Roundball Oracles Year 8
It is the time of the year known as March Madness. That, of course means it is also time for me to run my annual NCAA Tournament Pool.
It is open to all interested parties (I’ll take a few uninterested parties as well) regardless of their basketball knowledge. After all, this pool was won by a woman last year* and the 3 years before that is was won by a dude living in Taiwan. You couple that with the fact that somebody with my immense knowledge of the greatest sport ever invented has yet to bring the title home to Union Street means that there is a certain degree of luck involved, so you shouldn’t be too intimidated by my intimate knowledge of the pick and roll.
As always there is no entrance fee. The winner does get a trophy. The only thing one has to risk is pride.
Pride, it would be pointed out by C.S. Lewis is the greatest sin, so you are out of excuses for not getting in to the fray with the combatants from last year.
2011 Final Standings
1. Carrie Baier
2. Jesse Howard
3. Linda Toot
4. Dawn Krause
5. Jason Baier
6. Corey Faust
7. Your Humble Narrator
8. Robert Henning
9. Russell Kennerly
10. Andree Jauhari
11. Nate Buckingham
11. Tim Peterson
13. Lowell Davis
14. Nader Parsaei
15. Mark Wolfram
16. Shaun Kirsch
17. Frank Meiners
The pool of entrants atrophied last year slightly, so I hope to garner more participants this year so all you have to do to get in is email me at:
bennett@photography139.com
And I’ll email you instructions and in no time you’ll be on the road to having your name on the Plaque of Immortals:
Previous Champions
2011 – Carrie Baier
2010 – Mark Wolfram
2009 – Mark Wolfram
2008 – Mark Wolfram
2007 – Tim Peterson
2006 – William McAlpine
2005 – William McAlpine
*I hope that sounded at least half as sexist as I hoped it would, but already two members of the fairer sex have thrown their hat into the arena.

Sarah and the City
Most people are probably as sick of hearing about New York City as I am of talking about it, (not really-I love talking about me and things I’ve done) but I recently got a package in the mail from Sarah consisting of some NYC “souvenirs”, one of the nicest cards I’ve ever received in the mail, and a flash drive with her pictures from my visit.
I’m going to share a few of those pictures that I have chosen based on an undisclosed criteria.

Sarah and Tim and possibly other members of my family are coming to visit Boone at a yet to be determined time in September. If you are desiring to meet these people, you better get your name on the manifest in the immediate future.
Next week’s random photos will be a very small collection of pictures from a recent camping trip.
