DePaul with "tradition" and Gtwn with Ewing, lol.
...eh? Oh I get it... you wanted to place a sidebet huh? I don't gamble.
No gambling. I was mostly just trying to figure out if you made your picks with a RAND() function or a dartboard lol

Automatic writing boards have existed since ancient times[2], but they became a fad in the late 1800s. In 1890, an early patent troll a businessman named Elijah Bond had the good sense to patent a planchette sold with a board on which the alphabet was printed, thus "inventing" the Ouija board as far as the U.S. Patent Office was concerned.[3] In 1901, one William Fuld took over production, came up with the "Ouija" name, and proceeded to rewrite history claiming that he invented it, suing everyone who argued otherwise until he died in 1927. In 1966, Fuld's estate sold the business to Parker Brothers, who in turn became a subsidiary of Hasbro in 1991.[4]
In other words, it's no more supernatural than Monopoly or G.I. Joe. To their credit, Parker Brothers and later Hasbro always insisted that the Ouija board is merely a board game, though that hasn't stopped them from licensing the rights to it to make 2 supernatural horror movies in 2014 and 2016.[5]

Tyger Campbell- the guy who originally committed to DePaul before going to UCLA- is out for the season with a torn ACL.
