Week 1 Update

Welcome to Season 3 of Markinson Cup! Third season, second Dufresne replacement. First order of business is to introduce the new guy, Nalu Kaahaaina. He was my freshman RA at Stanford and the first guy to think it was a good idea to sleep out for basketball games. Team name: Tsunami. You see, that's clever, because Nalu is Hawaiian for wave, which is his usual nickname, but I guess he felt the need to go big here.

Dufresne

Good start on that front, with a big inaugural win over Dufresne's big dog, Dean. But the most noteworthy win was Eddy's. Worst to first? So far so good. He takes the week one lead for Starling, and he does it with yet another NA in his starting lineup. No surprise, Amer, and Jason also won.

Montoya

Gina starts the season with a win for the first time. DanFran tops the standings, and what a surprise, Hubert and Scott won, too. Stop the presses. They both move to 3-0 in season openers.

Markinson

Amer takes the early lead, backing up his prediction of bi-league dominance. He and Jason are the only ones to start both leagues 1-0, and he and Jer make the Markinson newbies undefeated. The reigning champ...hey, that's me!...also won.
