Everyone picks the winner now days. His niche was choosing the losing team.

But he never picked vs the spread. Much easier that way.

I loved listening to Leonard's Losers.
He always referenced the "guys down at the firehouse."

He called himself Leonard Post Toasties. His last name was Postero.

He referenced the mascot of the team when he spoke of them. Georgia was "the red clay hounds." Georgia Tech was the "insects from the institute." Nebraska was the "big red thrashing machine." Perhaps some of you can remember other names he used.

When you heard Leonard you knew it was time to play ball.

Remember it well. Never forget he picked Bama as his loser against State in 1980. Thought this dude is crazy.

Leonard Postero was the creator and a UGA grad. After he died in 2001, some others kept up the publication. I used to subscribe to get my football pool picks and won a lot based on the picks they gave.
