I&#8217;m not sure how many readers we have named Jari, but in this case our winner is the very same <a href=\"http:\/\/jmusportsblog.com\/?p=670\">Jari who won the first JMUSB contest<\/a> to predict when Arthur Moats would be drafted. \u00a0He correctly predicted the winners for 40 matches during the tournament. For his efforts, he&#8217;ll get another JMUSB t-shirt, which gives him control of exactly 50% of the world market for said product.<\/p>\n<p>What does this teach us? First of all, I loved James Surowiecki&#8217;s book, but the wisdom of crowds &lt; Jari guesses. All I&#8217;m saying is this. If we hold another contest to predict how the Dukes will do in football season, and Jari says they&#8217;re going all the way, I&#8217;m booking my trip to Frisco right then. Second of all, if you ever happen to see anyone wearing a JMUSB t-shirt just walk right up and say &#8220;Hi Jari&#8221; because chances are better than average that it will be him.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest and we hope you enjoyed the World Cup.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D1015&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JMUSB reader\u00a0Jari finished on top of the table in the first ever JMUSB World Cup Pick &#8216;Em.
