Well , there you have it. Seems with football news sites, Empire was the overwhelming favorite (mine too) before the exclusion announcement. Elk(s) did well in the others. I find all this interesting but it did bring back my annoyance with Presson as well. All good though. I'll cheer on my Elks and sometimes Als.
.. Btw, the Edmontonosaurus and Albertasaurus are both on display in the Orlando Science Center. I found that cool when I went there.
