This thread was supposed to be a JOKE

; I didn't expect anyone to STILL be debating the merits / consequences of an underwater competition AS WE DO EVERY YEAR in the traditional "What do you think this years game will be" thread. Maybe I should write a white paper about the issue and give a talk at next year's national conference on it.
Will some Administrator please put me out of my misery and close this thread before it takes on a life of its own. I promise to only post real rumors from now on.
