As I began planning for this Season Preview issue a few months ago, the year 2021 was my focus. I quickly landed on the always, fun card game of Blackjack.
For those not familiar with Blackjack, the basic idea is to beat the dealer’s hand, which begins by both the players and the dealer getting two cards. In the perfect scenario, the player can automatically win with a hand consisting of an Ace (which is counted as an 11), plus any of the face cards or the 10-card … 21 Blackjack!
To me, it was perfect to compare Blackjack to our Dawgs’ 2021 season because the goal in each and every game is to come out with nothing but Aces and Faces (as our terrific cover displays).
