Congratulations to Sue for winning the first annual Random Thoughts Bowl Contest. Sue came on strong at the end as Mark Burney struggled with some picks in the middle. A big thank you to everyone for participating this year. For Sue, what does she win, she wins a guest post here at Random Thoughts. I am sure we all look forward to what she has to say.

I think after this I am getting out of the predicting sports business. I wasn’t good with my baseball predictions and as you can see I am not faring well here at all. Oh well. Looks like the winner will definitely be doing a guest post.
