Super Bowl 2010
2010 January 20
I told my class they could have the Friday after the SuperBowl off if they pick the winner. So using their iPhones/iTouches and the nifty polls devised by the ACU tech guys, here were the results:
Colts – 79
Vikings – 81
Saints – 119
Jets – 10
Just for the record (and please, before you call Vegas, remember WHAT my record on this blog is!), I have:
Colts over Jets
Vikings over Saints
Colts over Vikings
You?
The Colts broke by heart when they lost to the Jets in Super Bowl III. I have decided that we’ll be even if they win this one. I agree with you– Colts over Jets, Vikings over Saints and Colts over Vikings. Manning the MVP. And all is well.
The Jets to win it all. Only TEN of your 300 students got it right!
Destiny.
I agree with you, Mike, but that’s wholly based on what I want the outcome to be, not any scientific method. I’m still surprised the Jets have made it this far. For years I forgot they existed. Really. And I live in NY.
Jets over Colts
Saints Over Vikings
Saints over Jets.
Can I get off work on Friday if I get this right?
Yes, Jeremy, I’d like to offer you that Friday off.
In fact — based on the survey of my class — I give you ALL permission to take off that Friday if the Saints win.
The Cowboys.
Hope springs eternal.
Colts – 21
Jets – 10
Saints – 31
Vikings – 24
Colts – 24
Saints – 21
To me, matters not who wins the Super Bowl….The Chargers are not their, so my interest has plummeted. AND – no matter who they play in the SB, the Saints will take it all.
Prognostication Alert – my record is on a par with Mike’s.
I’ve got the Saints beating the Jets. The Colts will pay for throwing the game the last time they played the Jets!
Those 10 that guessed the Jets must really love your class.
I’m sticking with my CRIMSON TIDE!!
David – You’ve been nice not to rub that in, because you KNOW if Colt McCoy hadn’t been injured on their fourth play . . . .
Vikings all the way.
Mike, I’m sure you saw the post by Dr. Beck regarding platonic disputes. I hope it offers consolation as you continue to deal with your loss:

Oh, and by the way, ROLL TIDE!
Everything’s gonna be allright and Vikings will win.
Super Bowl, Super Bowl.

the latter is a moose.
Wondering if I could get you to call my Elders about the whole Friday off thing. 8 – )
Yes, Jeremy. You picked the Saints to win it all. You should get Friday off. (Hint: why not go for broke and ask for Sunday off?)
I’d be happy to just get one day a week off. I’ll tell them to expect your call.
HEY! As the saying goes, “What am I? Chopped liver??” I too chose the Saints, strictly on a hunch though.
