We asked Dan what kind of strategy he used during the football version of the 2007 Struggle. His reply:
"We might have to change the name of the contest because it really wasn't much of a 'struggle' this football season. My lopsided win probably had a few listeners wondering if the SFTS was fixed -- fortunately with Jackson, Rolfes, Spurgeon overseeing the balloting, the legitimacy of my victory cannot be questioned."
