"Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be, only?” Still Hostrauser pointed downward to the list by which he stood. “Corps' courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead,” said DCP. “But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me!” Hostrauser was immovable as ever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hostrauser Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) . It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of statistics must be in want of a wife. . You jest, but maybe there's some truth to your variation there. Amazingly, my wife and I just celebrated the 12th anniversary or when we met, and we've been married over eight years. I know! I don't know how she does it, either. Because I've always been like this. Edited July 1, 2014 by hostrauser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidWAmericanArts Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 At first read this looked like sarcasm so I checked his first week rankings last year: HOSTRAUSER'S DCI RANKINGS - Week 1 (6/24-6/30) 98.30 Carolina Crown 98.15 Blue Devils 98.10 The Cadets 95.45 Santa Clara Vanguard 93.85 Phantom Regiment 92.80 Bluecoats 91.05 Madison Scouts 89.75 Blue Knights 89.35 The Cavaliers 87.80 Boston Crusaders 86.95 Spirit of Atlanta 84.25 Pacific Crest ------------ Finals Cut-line ---------------- 83.50 Blue Stars 83.20 Crossmen 82.50 Troopers . . . hmmmmm . . . Not all that far off from finals results as far as E vs. W goes, except for the unfortunate Pacific Crest, . . . and Blue Knights if you consider Colorado part of the West Coast. Carolina Crown 98.300 Blue Devils 98.050 The Cadets 96.950 Santa Clara Vanguard 96.850 Bluecoats 93.350 Phantom Regiment 93.250 The Cavaliers 90.500 Boston Crusaders 90.400 Madison Scouts 90.100 Blue Knights 87.750 Spirit of Atlanta 86.400 Blue Stars 85.450 His average score was only off by about 1.08. Thats pretty dang accurate for a week one estimate. I don't think mine would be that close even two weeks before finals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
