Upside is that maybe TFB won't feel as lonely hanging around the all-sheep line.
Thanks for the company. Somebody's gotta mind the herd, they won't herd themselves :). I do feel like it's cheating to be in last place with the help of a wrong answer. Manhattan, Kansas was the only school I could place, but I took Florida on a hunch.

Congrats to you as well! And agreed on all counts. Can't wait for clt's next quiz.

Third TD win for me I believe, spread out between three years. At least I'm consistent!

ETA: Surprised Stephanie Courtney only scored two; that was the only name I was absolutely certain on.
J! S39 - 1/27-2/1. '24 ToC ???
