141 #1 Bartlett

149 #2 SVN

157 #1 Kasak

165 #1 Mesenbrink

174 #2 Haines

184 #1 Starocci

197 #2 Barr

HWT #2 Kerk

8 guys in a row that are top 2...not too shabby.  Barr and Kerk could conceivably move to #1 if they win Big 10s.

Is this the longest "Murderer's Row" ever or did Iowa or Ok State have one longer than 8?

The marching beat of the lineup is a bit off: 1-2, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2. 

It needs to be adjusted at either Big Tens or NCAAs to a more rhythmic 1-2 pattern. 

Or perhaps it is just Cael having fun with dissonance and idiosyncrasy .

Plus Lilledahl will probably AA, and Opie has a decent chance of making AA as well.

Cael is apparently a fan of jazz.

I was going to use an Opie pic, but Davis doesn't have freckles or red hair. He does, however, look like he's 9 years old, so I just put a random little blonde kid in there!

Second fiddel's row!

I only see likely champ at 184.  Everyone else I would put in the semis and not at the top of the podium.

Corrected - champs at 165 and and 184!  Only way MM doesn' win is if Tonya Harding's crew comes out of retirement and I probably still pick him to win!

Yeah, I couldn't imagine Mesenbrink winning nationals. His tech over the #2 leaves me with some doubts.

But not of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir - since they now say using the term Mormon "is a victory for Satan". Even though Joe Smith taught that "Mormon" means "More Good".
