UncleDork Wins Football Pickem!

UncleDork Receives TrophyKatie’s Uncle, Bob Harris, of Spanish Fort, Alabama has won the 2005 Southeastern Fun College Football Pickem!  Uncle Bob came in first of thirty four family and friends in the group.  He topped the group two of the thirteen weeks the game was played, and finished with an efficiency over 54%.  During a ceremony held the morning after the final day of games, Uncle Bob received the Southeastern Fun Championship Trophy, on which his name will be engraved in recognition of the win.  The trophy was presented by last year’s winner, Katie Burnham, in the presence of the league commissioner, Shawn Burnham, and third place winner, Grace Hill.  In his acceptance speech, Uncle "Dork" Bob wanted to "thank all of the little dorks out there that made this possible". 

The 2005 Southeastern Fun College Football Pickem was played against-the-spread, where participants had to guess whether the favored team would cover or not.  A point was given for each correct guess, and Uncle Bob finished with 119 total points (out of 220 games).  Uncle Bob was given the affectionate name of "Uncle Dork" by Katie’s sister, Casey Ensminger, when she was young.

Later, Katie’s dad, Eddie Hill, won the 2005 Southeastern Fun College Football Bowl Pickem. He finished with a record of 16-12 and scored 260 points out of a possible 406. He actually wrapped up the win early, before the national championship game, by correctly picking the winner of the Orange Bowl.
