→The 2004-2005 Season: m
After four years of learning each others' tendencies and styles, the duo could play in almost any environment, maintaining same easy rhythm to the game. Music, especially in Jonathan’s room, was background to almost every contest; Marc Cohn’s ''Walking in Memphis'' and Dexy's Midnight Runners’ ''Come on Eileen'' were just two among many favorites. Playing in front of the TV was a new and frequent feature this year, especially if the MTV show ''Boiling Points'' happened to be on. To be honest, the friends often scheduled game sessions specifically to coincide with showings of ''Boiling Points''.
To the entire town's surprise, the hours and hours of cribbage somehow did not destroy the duo’s grades. Jonathan got [[Phi Beta Kappa]], and was so surprised at this development he e-mailed the person in charge back to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. Zach wound up graduating ''cum laude'' to the shock of his mother and golf coach, among countless others. <!--As the rivals' college cribbage careers wound down, questions were raised about the Future. The two were highly accomplished at using cribbage to put off homework, but would they both put their procrastination skills to work on avoiding post-graduate employment? Zach certainly did, only picking up a job in September 2005 when a friend’s father called him at home to inquire if he was working. Zach, in fact, had been lying in bed playing cribbage against his computer at that very moment. He tok the job. Jonathan, however, managed only a single day off between graduation and starting work as a gardener near Philadelphia. Since graduation, Jonathan has whipped Zach consistently both online in Yahoo! Cribbage game rooms and even face-to-face in his garden cottage in Philadelphia. Zach is not worried, however, as his 3-1 years won advantage will forever hold up – “the rest of life†only counts as a single year, so he is guaranteed bragging rights forever no matter how many games J-dawg wins in the long future ahead.-->
