CONGRATS MITCH SEAVEY, winner of 2008 All Alaska Sweepstakes

[sc-race-fan]

My quick scan of the top 5 picks shows 4 pickers with 4 of 5 correct so far, and so the the race for 5th will decide the picker winner, or maybe the time tie breaker Just knew Breaker had to get in there somewhere

CONGRATS MITCH SEAVEY!!!!!

Ya know TSFR had me saying: GO LANCE GO.HAHAHA. It was like a song that you can't get outta your head, but I was glad to see Mitch win. Way to go Mitch. GEEHA

I'm quite pleased with who the winner is, even though I've been partial to Lance. I'd also say this forum and those who provided support for it are also real winners.

Just listened to the KICY replay, and they were giving Mitch the check for 100,000. I thought they had to wait 24 hrs. to make it official? The rules here have been so confusing!

[tanglefoot]

at the end they wernt sure if they were given him the check or it was someone in the crowd with one as there were some folks dressed up as dollar bills etc etc etc in fancy dress......who knows haha

Yeah Mitch!!!!!!

I am bummed I missed it. I got knocked off of chat, couldn't get back on, and took that as a sign that I should go to bed!!!

Congrats Mitch! Good job. Very well deserving. One of the great mushers.

So, Iditabuddies -- Did I really stay up until 3:00 a.m. chatting with you all?
Did our source (was it flower?) really get booted off KICY at the crucial moment?
DId I really fall for those practical jokes people were playing on us sleep deprived chatters? such as - "Lance just checked nto Ft. Davis." "I see a crowd gathering on the cam."
Did we really see two dog teams fly down Front Street (yea BSSD cam?)
Did I really call Breakers Bar to get the results (possibly speaking to one of the Breaker clan in person LOL)
Is it really all over?
Is there treatment for this obsession?
