Guess Who

One week from tonight, the college football season begins anew. The investment partners STP (Petey and I) will once again be looking to improve their financial standing as the games go on and on, over 4 1/2 months of games, taking us through the wonderful madness of bowl season.

By the way, I counted 31 college bowl games last year, and STP had a financial interest in 30 of them. We somehow just overlooked that last one. For our efforts we earned a very, very modest profit, but a profit nonetheless.

One of the fun ancillary things of this endeavor is getting acquainted with the sometimes obscure nicknames and tradtions of these institutions of higher learning. So, today I offer three questions arranged in decreasing order of difficulty, about teams who will kickoff their seasons next week. See if you know what schools' teams are the :

1. Miners
2. Commodores
3. Cardinal
   Answers, and a little trivia background on each, tomorrow.
