Hognostications 2005 and 2006 mini-review
By Mark Solway | August 1st, 2007
Dear fellow THN posters and Hognosticators, As you know, we ran Hognostications over the last two seasons with increasing success and participation from you. Texas Hog’s effort and weekly Hognostications have been keys to this success. BossHog put in place a much improved addition to the site for the 2006 season, which allowed for a larger number of Hognosticators. JSPB22 has organised the famous Super Hogs Bowls during the playoffs. In light of all this work, I felt appropriate to do a mini-review of the results obtained so far: 2005 regular season 1. Redskin in Canada 175 – 81 68.3% 2. Texas Hog 167 – 89 65.2% 3. JSPB22 164 – 92 64.0% 4. Redeemed 158 – 98 61.7% 5. joebagadonuts 157 – 83 65.4% (one week less) Adjusted values (with an equal numbers of weeks): 1. Redskin in Canada 166 – 74 69.1% 2. Texas Hog 160 – 80 66.6% 3. joebagadonuts 157 – 83 65.4% 4. JSPB22 156 – 84 65.0% 5. Redeemed 152 – 88 63.4% 2005 playoffs and HB I 1. joebagadonuts 2. FFA aka Irn Bru 3. Texas Hog and JSPB22 ———————————— 2006 regular season 1. HOSS 152 90 62.8% 2. airhog 151 91 62.4% 3. funbunch 148 94 61.2% 4. JSPB22 148 94 61.2% 5. joebagadonuts 148 94 61.2% 6. Redskin in Canada 147 95 60.7% 2006 playoffs and HB II Divisional Championship The Hogs Bowl II 1. Redskin in Canada 2. HOSS 3. air_hog and joebagadonuts The good news are that we will have Hognostications for the 2007 season. As usual, the keys to success are perseverance to participate during all 17 weeks of the regular season as well as much study and luck. The bad news are that the games are getting more and more difficult to Hognosticate. Anybody can beat anybody else in the NFL on any given week, and the unexpected happens more often than not. Still, we do have a great group of Hognosticators and I am sure that many are looking forward to show their improvements together with our team. Official announcements will follow later on from Boss Hog. I will be on hand to keep everybody excited from week to week as usual in the Around the League Forum. Sincerely, Redskin in Canada Regular Season Champion 2005 Super Hog Bowl Champion 2006…
