Let's Not Forget Second Place Teams
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:27 am
There's an old saying in sports that nobody ever remembers who finished second. It means that we only remember the champions, not the teams that the champions beat for the title.
Well, in the NFBC I don't want to forget about the second-place teams. We have had some great, great champions through the years, but we've also had some great runners-up. I just went through our History section of the NFBC and looked at those second place teams and came away impressed with that list. Can anyone name those eight owners?
Let's look at the list of our NFBC champions since 2004:
NFBC CHAMPIONS
2004 - Artie Rastelli
2005- Brian Oldenski
2006 - David DiDonato
2007 - Terry Haney
2008 - Bobby Jurney
2009 - Lindy Hinkelman
2010 - Stephen Jupinka
2011 - Lindy Hinkelman
That's a VERY IMPRESSIVE list. Now let's showcase those owners who finished SECOND OVERALL in those same eight years:
NFBC RUNNERS-UP
2004 - Aaron Seefeldt
2005 - Dan Kenyon
2006 - Rick Thomas
2007 - Thomas Greenwald
2008 - Stephen Jupinka
2009 - Kevin Schiller
2010 - Mark Srebro
2011 - KJ Duke
There you have it. Now let's never forget those eight names, either. All 16 owners deserve a place in history as far as I'm concerned.
And this week we'll get the Registration page live so that you folks can all start signing up for the 9th NFBC season. Let history come again and may the best owners win.
