Please send any and all prizes directly to Russ Smith, who single handedly beat half of the pool as a second round pick. Unless the prize is monetary, in which case all prize funds can be directed to me so that my players don’t get into any hot water with the NCAA.
I may have lost, but Sherwood Brown scored more than or as much as everyone on Miami. SUCH VALUE.
