I decided to conduct a last minute “Game Day” coach’s poll on who would win Super Bowl XLV (45). I got some interesting answers but in the end out of 23 responses it was Green Bay coming out on top 12-10. I know 12 and 10 doesn’t add up to 23. Well, there was one coach who…well…abstained.
Update: Two late responses came in after the results were published. Head Coaches Jim Singiser at Arroyo and Tip Sanders at Duarte both picked Pittsburgh bringing the final tally to 12-12 and the total number of coaches to reply to 25. I have to give credit to Sanders. I received his text message for Pittsburgh when the Steelers were already down 14-0. Now that’s sticking to your team. Almost Coach.
