Being an NHL fan finally payed off, I guess.

Wooooooooooot.

Fifth place.. not so bad.. Now you know why I created this game.. I'll never get a chance to earn hosting of it ;)

Wow, first one of these I've ever been totally shutout in. Grats RPI-fan.

I'm happy with my seven points. Though for the last question my inital thought was 45 minutes, but then I though that might be a touch low. If I had gone with my first instict I would have won, dangit...

Good game, GM... :)

2nd place.

not bad finishing 4th after getting shutout in the first 3 questions

My results tell that I know Basket-Ball way better than Baseball, I don't even know how many games there are in a baseball season ;)
