Going to Beijing: Got Brains? According to today's Sports Illustrated magazine, the brainiest team in the US Olympic pantheon this quad?
"Fencing. Jason Rogers was a finalist for a Rhodes Scholarship. Emily Cross won the world junior title in '05 and then passed up senior worlds to finish her sophomore year at Harvard. Sada Jacobson has a history degree from Yale. Tim Morehouse is a Brandeis grad and former teacher. It's no wonder the siblings on the team, who work in finance in New York City, are named Keeth and Erinn Smart." "Sometimes we, as coaches, get into that dictator mode where you just tell and you don't listen and you don't try to understand them." Tom Izzo, Mich. St.

How did they select them, and was there a list of runners up?

The team, or the individuals to represent "braininess?"
No idea. This issue has about 4 pages of cutesy, one paragraph categories like "most tattooed", "family affair", "smallest home town", "secret talents" and the like.

It's like those things they give out at prom... Most likely to succeed, best couple, etc. The fencers got the bookworm one. Course, I wouldn't be complaining. I would say it's better than "most tattooed". "Fencing is a sport where physical attributes seem not as important as determination."

That would be the men's basketball team.

Dennis Rodman is playing again? The only way to atone for being occasionally a little over-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated. -Oscar Wilde

Rodman can join a women's field hockey team and make that the most tattooed team.
