The Basketball Prediction Game is now a reality. You can make your predictions at:
http://www.cougarcorner.com/bball_predictions.php
Right now you'll notice that only Bradley is listed as a game, MARS has agreed to enter the rest of the games and take care of the scoring of the questions. So, that will happen as he has time. But you better get started with Bradley right away!
I will not be sending out weekly emails, but you can subscribe to this topic (see the bottom of the topic where it says "Subscribe" and I'll try every week to post a reminder on this topic, which will then email you.
One other note, on the questions that ask you to enter a percentage, please enter that percentage using only # (numbers) and a '.' if necessary. The computer will take your answer and multiply it by 10 to get a number it can work with easier. so 34.5 will turn into 345. 34 will turn into 340. However, 34% will turn into nothing, so be careful!
Enjoy!

Who's in, and how do you like the new men's basketball prediction game?
You can now enter your predictions all the way through the game against Nevada in the Las Vegas Tournament December 22nd if you would like! It's really not a bad idea to pick 2-3 games at a time, or a week's block of games, since they come quicker than the football games do.

Thanks again to Hawkwing for putting this idea together on such short notice! Should be a fun competition!

Awesome. I'm just mad I missed Bradley.
Basketball predictions are a marathon, not a sprint. I'll be fine with 1 goose-egg.

Congrats to newcomer kfilly20, who had the best score prediction for the Hawaii game. Somehow this crazy cat got the exact game score correct. Now he just needs to make his first post, perhaps to gloat or congratulate the losers.
More importantly, I had a better score than Schmoe! 
Of course, Schmoe is still in 1st place overall... 
Next game, Tuesday at 7:00pm at home vs. Southern. Get your picks in NOW!

You know what they say:
"If you can't beat Schmoe, at least you can join him in playing the game."
At least, I think that's how that quote goes...
