Congratulations to Tony Soprano's School of Waste
Management--Biff DeBris aka Dave Murphy, Tony Soprano aka Brian
Hight, Hesh Nutboy aka Jason Schwengler and Partho aka
Chris Taylor--for going undefeated through the round
robin and subsequent double elimination playoffs to
take the Fog Hat for 2001. The team also won Iron
Chefs magnets, Foghat signature guitar picks, the Dr.
Laura board game and framed...ahem, "special" pictures
of Dr. Laura tastefully edited by yours
truly.

The Third -gry Word (Missouri-Columbia A) took second
and won a Battlefield Earth Terl action figure,
Battlebots keychains and Iron Chefs stickers. Wichita State
Alums took third and won a Crocodile Hunter hand-held
video game, Futurama clickers and Iron Chefs bookmarks.
Jesus and the Doombots (who later somehow morphed into
Jesus and the Jewbots) won an Iron Chefs poster and
Star Wars Episode 1 super balls.

Three teams
successfully "blocked" a punted bonus and these teams--3rd Gry
Word, Wichita State Alums and Scientology Wow--received
an "official" flick football game, NFL pens and
unused (obviously) St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup tickets
respectively. "Hairy Spice" was leading scorer for the
tournament and a first time trash player and was thus
obviously rookie of the year and received the Junior
Novelization of Galaxy Quest.

Thanks are very much in
order to Ben Lea for stellar assistant tournament
directing and sport questions, to the Berkeley team for
contributing 2 1/2 packets, to Paul Nelson for filling in with
moderating, statkeeping and food delivery as needed, to
Malcolm Hays for moderating and to Nathan Mundis, Matt
Griffith and Brenda Driver for assisting early in the day
and helping get us off to a good start.

Thanks
and I look forward to seeing you all at Foghat 2002:
Less Chat, More Hat.
