Holy (^@?, I actually won this year !

In the annual Ron and Jeff bowl bet ... I actually won this year ...

Given how random our selection process is for who we get, it is really actually kind of impressive how Ron usually wins. It is sort of statistically improbable, yet it happens. Every year I find myself going over the opening scene of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)

(from IMDB)

[first lines]
[Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are riding horses down a path - they pause]
Rosencrantz: [to Guildenstern] Umm, uh...
[Guildenstern rides away, and Rosencrantz follows. Rosencrantz spots a gold coin on the ground]
Rosencrantz: [to horse] Whoa - whoa, whoa.
[Gets off horse and starts flipping the coin]
Rosencrantz: Hmmm. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads.
[Guildenstern grabs the coin, checks both sides, then tosses it back to Rosencrantz]
Rosencrantz: Heads.
[Guildenstern pulls a coin out of his own pocket and flips it]
Rosencrantz: Bet? Heads I win?
[Guildenstern looks at coin and tosses it to Rosencrantz]
Rosencrantz: Again? Heads.

Nope. Not this year.

So ... thank you New Mexico, BYU, East Carolina, Texas, BC, TCU, Oregon State, Penn State, Alabama, Cal, Fresno State, Oregon, Kentucky, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia, USC, Kansas, and Rutgers ... I will enjoy the Cougs Vs. Oklahoma State at Qwest Field on August 30th just that much more this year ...
