It's almost that time of year again and just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the official week 1 thread will be posted on Monday (games stay on Friday). There was some discussion at the end of last year of making some changes but there was no clear result. Since Lari made the contest so successful the rules will remain the same for this year(3 picks per week)

I would also like to extent an invitation to anyone that reads this to join the contest. The rules are simple and it is fun to play. I hope to increase the number of players each year. Anyone that follows any team is welcome to play, (A10, Big East, CUSA, etc.)

For current players I ask for you to try and get some of your fellow fans to join the contest to help it grow.

I look forward to a great year and a competitive contest

I played this two years ago and won or almost won. Can't remember. I'd probably remember better if there was a prize. Just played Fordham to lose every chance I got. May not be so easy this year.

Yes yes yes yes yes

You could have a go at choosing Duquesne to lose

Wow Twisted you are on top of things. Looking forward to playing this year and beating my 54-38 performance of the past two years. I mean 2 of 3 years. Trying to hit 65% this year is my goal. Taking it slow and not playing everyday. Good luck to all. Enjoy the year. Thanks Twisted.
