Happy New Year, everyone! We have one more weekend of nonconference play before the battle for the Big Ten title resumes in earnest. First, let’s look at how Drew Claussen and I enter the second half of our season-long picks battle. (Hint: He’s winning by a lot.) Last week Drew: 4-3-0 (.571) Paula: 4-3-0 (.571) … Read more

Pickin’ the Big Ten: Dec. 13-15
It’s so strange that just last week, Drew Claussen was hoping that your Thanksgiving had been a good one. This week, I’m wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a Happy Kwanzaa!

Pickin’ the Big Ten: Nov. 28-Dec. 1
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I have a lot to be thankful for — not the least of which is college hockey. My picks record, though, does not get noted in the gratitude journal.

I’m back and not a moment too soon, as Drew Claussen keeps inching further and further ahead of me. Will my presence actually make a difference? Probably not.

Pickin’ the Big Ten: Nov. 8-9
Last week, Drew and I were both rewarded for picking the Buckeyes to sweep the Wolverines – very risky, given the fierceness of that rivalry. I managed to edge him out for the week but I’m still playing catchup after his Halloween weekend picks perfection. Last week Drew: 5-3-0 (.625) Paula: 6-2-0 (750) This season … Read more

Pickin’ the Big Ten: Oct. 25-26
It didn’t take long for Drew to pull ahead of me. He picked Ohio State to sweep Omaha and I picked the teams to split – but on the wrong nights. And, of course, I was punished for picking the Lakers to sweep the Wolverines. Last week Drew: 5-5-0 (.500) Paula: 4-6-0 (.400) This season … Read more
