NB: The contest began early-mid season. This is actually Week 13 of NCAA season. One more week of regular season remains before tertiary, secondary and BCS bowl games. I suggest for the 32 bowl games, each contestant be allotted 20 units of bankroll to be used in top 10 best-bets with a minimum of 1 and maximum of 5 units per play. Contestants may NOT play more than 5 units on any one side between split-line and money-line, i.e., you MAY NOT play LSU -11 -5.05/5.00 over OHIO STATE AND LSU -10.50/3.00. You MAY, however, play 5 units on LSU either on the split line or the money AND the total. Furthermore, there will be a 1/2-unit MUST system in effect in which each constest MUST play 1/2 unit on all other bowl games, one-play per game, split-lines, money-lines or totals are fine.

I haven't had this much fun since the morning after the Dewey Truman election! So many variables in sports and always a clear result, who knew?


I know I'm cheating but I'm alrady watching hoops on ESPNU. I discovered a new word today "bracketology," but it seems I won't need that until the middle of March. So bring it on man! I'll have my plays up for this week by COB tomorrow. Right now I need to stick my head back in the cone on these dead miners in Ukraine and the break up of Pakistan.

When you get the details, let me know if I'm in for the 6-months of slow-death by radiation sickness.

I'm afraid my predictive ability is restricted to imposing only a tiny bit of order on a lot of chaos.

Sometimes a tiny bit of order is all it takes.

Our plays are up, but in the interest of sporting ease . . .
