The inaugural TOP FRIEND OF THE KNOWLEDGE is

Jim Harbaugh Scramble

mighty congratulations to JHS, who shall henceforth be referred to as THE TOP FRIEND on these very pages.

the winner of the QUESTION (# bowl game suspensions for the Columbus Cheaters) is Trebor

.

congratulations to this person as well

unfortunately, the award of CO-SOARER of THE KNOWLEDGE is not claimed this year, as no one correctly guessed the MNC game participants

KNOWLEDGE,

You should set up a KNOWLEDGE_HALL_OF_FAME, devoted to top friends and protoges who correctly guessed scores to the point.

Yes, I'm just saying this because I was the first of those protoges and I want to brag. 

COYS and lets go Detroit FC!

He might not even be born yet.  And he might die in his early 30's.  We just don't know yet.  So the hell with it, Long Live THE_KNOWLEDGE!

And the "new" mgoformatting is a real drag on THE_KNOWLEDGE's approach to posting. The default 1.5 spacing after an enter really changes the dynamic that used to be presented by the period-filled spaces.

Anyone else remember when using the spacebar after hitting enter, then hitting enter again was the only way to have a gap between paragraphs?

Undoubtedly the current system is far superior to the older 99.9% of the time, but I believe that THE_KNOWLEDGE should have access to the old formatting system.

This is Michigan.
