The man in the black pajamas.
Dan Dan-O McClure, a mystery to many of you but a proud Jayhawk from way back nonetheless, joins Kevin C. Wilson as the only two league members to achieve the quinquennial.
That’s five times more titles than the combined total of the River Forest Clown Show, Rusty Kuby and Ron Dardis. Neither of them paid this year, by the way.
Bums.
Dan-O rode Florida. Always has. He won it with them in 2006, 2007 and again this year. He also always wins it with the correct pick of the champion. Florida those three times and also Duke in 2010 and Baylor in 2021.
This year’s 97-point winning total obliterates the previous high mark of 84, posted in 2012 by Kevin C. This was a year for the pussies. But actually Dan-O’s bracket wasn’t the chalkiest. His combined predicted seed total of 18 for the Elite 8 was the highest of anyone in contention heading into the championship.
Every league participant picked a 1 seed to win this year, another first. Incidentally, KC Dubbs has picked a 1 seed to win for 22 consecutive tournaments. It would be 23 had Woo and the carpet pissers not interfered in 2020.
Steady was Dan-O’s approach this year. He led after round one, tied for third highest point total in round two, tied for fourth highest in the Sweet 16, tied for third highest in the Elite 8, tied for highest in the Final Four and then was one of three (Kienlen and Clark) to pick the champ.
Dan-O had three of his Final Fours, six of his Elite 8, and 11 of his Sweet 16. Numbers like no one has ever seen before. Nobody’s ever seen anything like this. Believe me. Terrific guy.
Let’s take a look at how we did.
Dan: 97
Pete: 89
Brennan: 88
Matt: 88
Kevin: 87
Sam: 84
Rusty: 81
Jon: 80
Joe: 77
Brad: 75
Clark: 75
Ryan: 72
Trevor: 71
Marc: 67
There you have it. That’s $1,540 in career earnings for Dan-O. He’s eyeing property in River Forest. Those rich fucks.
Salud,
Commissioner Sheforgen
