PIck 'Em Corner - The Professor's Week 9 Smart Money Picks

Sorry, Professor's Pupils, but there will be no online analysis of The Professor's Smart Money Picks this week. The Professor, along with The Cornerman, Steve Stellar and C-Noth, announced their picks to the live studio audience at Tuttle's Eat Bowl Play last night in beautiful downtown Hopkins. If you weren't in attendance last night, shame on you.

Without further ado, sit up straight, sharpen your pencils and enjoy the lecture, for these are The Professor's Smart Money Picks, brought to you by The City of Chanhassen Hopkins.
