I know, I know. Where in the heck have I been? And some of you are gracious enough to know that I know that you know that you are on the podium, and still wouldn't ask why the results haven't been posted. Anyway, without further ado, here are the final season tallies for KYPSW 2018-19.
Standing at the bottom of the podium, but on the podium, nonetheless, is the newcomer from Texas, PSUbluTX. In the seventh spot, is the guy who slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night, HOCKEYGOD11. Following HG, is perennial podium stander, RoarLions1, who is about to have enough time on his hands to take KYPSW back over. In the 5-spot is the undercover Robert Plant, ZepGraffiti. And, in the clean-up position is adg297. What can you say about him, when you haven't met him, and his username means nothing to you?
And, now, a drum roll, if you please. In third place, wearing the bronze medallion around his neck, is someone who I feel like I'm mentioning a lot for some reason, tom1973, from the 247 Sports board. Sporting the silver medallion is the heavyweight of the boards, Eastern Heavyweight.
And, finally, the man who wins KYPSW 2018-19 bragging rights for the next seven months. The guy (I think) who persevered through thick and thin to wear the gold medal, bdoncsecz!!! <Crowd cheering> Bdonsecz, I told the guys at your local watering hole to buy you a beer, so just tell them you're ready. Your winnings are in the mail. Be on the lookout for them.
And, finally, I need to give an award that sometimes pains me to give. (Hey, NoVaLion2, it's not you THIS year.) That is the Minkel Award. You remember him, I'm sure. The epitome of the struggling coach. The one who never seemed to put a solid season together. Well, it usually felt like he couldn't put a solid dual together. This award goes to the participant who finished dead last of all of the participants who played every dual, B1G and NCAA. There were 33, but only one can lay claim to the Minkel Award. Only, this wasn't a classic start to finish struggle, it was a letdown of epic proportions in the NCAA tournament, because this guy was near the top of the leader board all season long. And, it goes to tikk10. And, as far as giving a sucky award to a nice guy, this ranks right up there with giving it to NoVaLion2. But, as they say, someone had to win it, or lose it, or whatever.
Thanks for playing, y'all!
