+1 Us early birds did not get the worm for being the first two entrants, but we did get 4th and 5th place.

[Leander]

I am amazed! Played in two recent TDs after a long hiatus and really tanked, and pretty much expected the same for this one.

Thanks for hosting!

[SBurrus]

Thanks for a fun game. Had been a while since I had done a TD.

[floridagator]

Thanks for the TD. I certainly sucked.

[jeffwolfe]

My lack of Pac-12 knowledge paid off. In looking at the correct answers, a few ring a bell, but I couldn't come up with any of them. I might have said Berkeley if I had remembered that Cal was in the Pac-12. I might have said Stanford if I'd thought about it more; Wikipedia says Stanford, CA, is the location of Stanford, but it also identifies it as an unincorporated area adjacent to the city of Palo Alto. Not sure how it would've been scored based on the wording of the question. In any event, I gave the obvious answer of Los Angeles and got a singleton.

Thanks for the TD.

[AFRET CMS]

Wow. Maybe my best finish ever. After getting dinged for a wrong answer on number three (due to not following the NBA pretty much since the ABA merger), I figured I would be looking for marmalade because I was toast.

Thanks for fun and interesting TD!

[floridagator]

Wow. Maybe my best finish ever.

You won TD 349

You're right; I had forgotten. Looks like after that one I posted

Wish I knew what I did right so I could try to do it again......

So now it looks like I do something right about every three and half years.
