One of life's greatest truisms is that you should never, ever, finish last in your fantasy football league. My excellent friend Bob Mayer, coach of the Royal Poodles, has had the misfortune to finish last in the Twin Peaks Football League two years running. His penalty, through the conniving of Craig Pepin, was to wear one of the world's worst sweaters as he presented at Faculty Senate. Fantasy football is a cruel mistress. Still, if you win the Wixon Trophy, named after our great friend Bill Wixon, mainly because he's out of the country and thus can't defend himself, there is a price to be paid.

| It is a testament to what a good soul that Bob is that he didn't squawk about this horrible penalty and went bravely to his fate. It was "a far, far better thing . . ." |
