Kays locks up 2001-02 Yahoo! Ticks title

 Final Tally has Kays by a toe hair

  HASLETT, MI  JAN 7, 2002

After a long season, Kelley Kuehne (team name: Ben's Tightees) outlasted 3 Aficionados and one all-around good fella to take this years' Yahoo Sports Tick title.  He was tailed close by Greg Dooley (Uncle Geegs' Ma Deeters) throughout the season, and survived a late push by 2000-01 champ Jeff Jackson (Dutch's Locks), and by Ron Dooley (Racks, Cash & Booze).  
    

The difference maker?  Late in the game on Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs scored a meaningless touchdown and added an even more meaningless 2pt conversion to cover the spread vs. Seattle.   Everyone (including G's Ma D's) but Kel had the Seahawks.

     

Each week we picked all the NFL football games against the point spread.  A correct pick is worth 1 pt, with ties and losses worth 0.   The final tallies:

1.  Ben's                  116

2.  Ma Deeters         115

3.  Dutch                110

4.  Racks                109

5.  ELHS               102 (98 raw score plus +4 for week 6)

This was Lew Popoff's (ELHS Football Rules) first season in the Ticks and the inexperience showed.  He pretty much secured a last place finish several weeks ago, and neglected to enter his picks in Week 6.   Rookies make rookie mistakes - I am sure Lew will perform better next season.

    

The burning question:  Will Kays continue his fortune in the sweet science and join the fellers in Vegas for The Greek's Bachelor Party (3/14-3/17...March Madness, Baby)?
