12 Mar 06 NCAA Bracket Challenge! Tim vs. a Coin!
I joined up with NCAA pool to do two things. First, to help an old camp buddy of mine, Mike Riopel, raise some money to participate in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training marathon. Second, I want to compare my college basketball prediction skills vs. that of a 1983 minted US quarter. Look for updates on who is the victor!
If you want to join the pool, go for it! It’s a $20 entry fee with $10 going to the fund and then $10 going to the bracket pot. Winner of the brackets gets the pot.
First, go here to sign up:

Then, wander here to donate $20. Even if you don’t join up, donate to help Mike out!

24 Sep 04 Balls of Steel vs. Last Kid Picked
It was a valient effort, but alas… We fell once again to the opposite team by the score of 3-1… I believe, could be wrong on the score. But lose we did, at the hands of our own teammates!?
See, the other team was short players, and we had an over abundance of players. Our team is mostly implimentors, so they are all in town this week for UGM. That won’t be the case in the coming weeks as I am sure our attendance will dwindle with more and more people out of town.
Back to the game, the opposite team didn’t have enough players. Since wa had many, they had few, we loaned them a few players for the game. So it was Us vs. Us & Them… weird. It was a close game at times, but we seemingly took to long and kept kicking the ball too far forward of home base. Our team mates on the other team had a rock’n game! Too bad it counted for the other team… Oh well, good times were had by all.
Speaking of good times, I need to have a wrap-up of UGM. It’s our User’s Group Meeting for all Epic customers. We normally put on this big production for the customers around a central theme. This years theme: Superhero’s of Healthcare. I was in the multimedia presentation for the session. That was fun! I was Super Doc and have the pictures, trading cards, and 6-foot cutout to prove it. Feel rather sheepish about the entire thing really, seems like a lot of attention for just a little part.
13 Sep 04 Epicdemic, Week 1
Today marks the first go at the bowling league for my team, Epicdemic. We are an intense group of bowlers showing everyone how it’s done (or not done) every Monday at 6.30 pm at Schwoegler Parktown Lanes.
The team:
- Tim Schaab
- Jeremy Hung
- Jennifer Tucker
- Gerald Godwin
Of course, we are all Epic representatives. Hence the name, Epicdemic.
This first game we established our averages, so we are not sure how we did until next week. Jeremy and I had strong finishes, each finishing in the upper 400s for total pinfall. My personal best score from the day, 170.
Stay tuned for next week to see how we did against our competition!
