Enough of the hype: let the game begin.  SU has compiled the score predictions from our last post and here they are:

• SU: 23 -21 Denver
• Mark L.: 31 – 20 Carolina
• Shep 44 – 6 Carolina
• Brandon D.: 28 – 17 Denver
• Jeff: 31 – 13 Carolina
• Seth: 27 – 10 Carolina
• PBok: 21 – 17 Denver

There is still time for others to weigh in.  It’s your chance to shine and be admired by thousands of subscribers across the SU intergalactic base.  Or of course you can also be ridiculed for being way, way off.

Want to look smart at your Super Bowl party?  Long-time subscriber J. Levine offers up this Super Bowl triva question for you to throw out to the audience: “Who is the only football player in history to win a college national title, the Heisman Trophy, a Super Bowl and the NFL MVP?”

I could just show you the answer here but that ruins the fun of trivia.  SU has steered clear of putting triva questions on the blog as many of you (but not all) just google the answer.  Bad form.  I will do this: check comment #7 from the last SU blog entry and you will find the answer there.

There has been a steady drip of Carmelo Anthony trade rumors the last week or so.  Today’s story has him going to the Miami Heat.  Surely Phil Jackson wants to move him but given his current health it’s hard to see anyone wanting to take on his salary at 31 years of age.  Truth be told, he has been a good soldier this year and the team is much better with him in there.  But it’s time to start a new era and give Porzingis some touches on offense.  As Derek Fisher calls absolutely no plays, it’s up to the players to get him more involved.

Hey, did the Yankees sign any free agents of note this year?  Did I miss that?  Time to put in some extra padding in the recliner for watching Yankee games in 2016.  Met fans on sports talk radio are already in mid-season form – talking about who is going to be the back-up first-baseman (answer: Wilmer Flores).  SU is ready for baseball.  Pitchers and cathers are days away from reporting.

Enjoy the Super Bowl.
