CALLING ALL TIPSTERS!!
Board insiders tell me our venerable Calbearman is not yet 'available' to do his usual thing with the annual Tipping Game contest. I am all for continuing in this tradition, and AM willing to *help* get this season's iteration up and running.
BUT. Who wants to play? No point in starting it up, if we don't have a reasonable number of participants. And who might wanna share in the admin part of this game, creating game slates, tabulating results, etc.?? I'm not great at that, but will try. I do believe I could get things started by this coming weekend, or by the weekend after Turkey Day, at the latest.
Anybody out there?

Perhaps we can give it a trial run and see if people join the bandwagon once we have a list of games? Even if we only have a few people for the first week or so, I'm sure people will join as we get the ball rolling.

I'm tempted by the Duckies, but the safe bet is that South Carolina is healthier than Oregon. Pew Pew and Rogers may still be out for that game.

Since when is George Washington orange?
Also, boldly picking the Ducks against South Carolina in a game that might not happen? Bold strategy when they are definitely without Pao-Pao, Rogers, and potentially without Sabally. I'm not even sure they'll beat Oklahoma at this juncture.

TIPPING GAME: WARM-UP ROUND RESULTS:
With the Niagara-St. Bon. game postponed, there were 9 choices available. This week's winner was the Ubiquitous, Unassuming, Upbeat, Underwhelming UNDERSIZED_POST, who correctly named 8 winners in 9 games!
FINAL TALLY:*
7 - undersized_post
7 - Coyotes
6 - summertimeblues
6 - pureform
4 - howee
Clearly, the results were rigged. I have no idea by WHOM they were rigged, but....I just feel it.
NEXT WEEK - Given the holiday busy-ness, I can try to post next week's games by Sunday, Nov 28, for games starting on Dec. 1. I will try to arrange a slate of 15-20 games. I am also MORE than willing to have anyone else step in for this task (Calbearman??), or even make some game suggestions to me by pm, if you'd like.

I should clearly win the title since Howee tried to rig the results against the mighty Coyotes!
In any case, Howee, is 4 the best you can do!?!?! Surely, you’d do better if you flipped coins for your impossible homerism at Oregon?

Awrighty then, my tipsy little Tipsters: LET THE GAMES BEGIN! Here it is, The Official Round One of the season. Pay close attention as there's a new twist, 'bout in the middle.
Tipping Game: Week 1
Wed. 12/1
WV @ Kentucky
Dixie St. @ Utah St.
Thu. 12/2
Notre Dame @ Michigan St.
Michigan @ Louisville
NC State @ Indiana
James Madison @ George Washington
Iowa @ Duke
Iowa St. @ Louisiana St.
Fri. 12/3
Kansas St. @ South Carolina
Ayoka Lee vs. Aliyah Boston*
Sat. 12/4
Cornell @ Niagara
Miss. St. @ Oklahoma
Sun. 12/5
Notre Dame @ UConn
Tennessee @ VA Tech
Texas @ Texas A&M
Southern Miss @ South Alabama
*Okay. For Friday's game, don't select a 'winner' between K-St. vs. SC - there's not a great chance it'll be much of a contest. Regardless, I didn't want to ignore this game, as it features 2 of our premier centers in Ayoka Lee of The Jayhawks and Aliyah Boston of The Gamecocks.
For your selection on that date, CHOOSE THE PLAYER THAT WILL HAVE THE MOST COMBINED POINTS AND REBOUNDS TO EARN ONE POINT. Then, decide how many points & rebounds you predict the HIGHEST scoring/rebounding number will be for whichever player has the most (regardless of your pick) and if you come within 3 either way, you'll earn an extra 5 pts, EVEN IF you didn't pick the correct player.
For example: if you pick Ayoka to have the highest number, and she has that, you get one point. Then, predict a total. I'll say 12/9. This is the number of rebounds and points I'm predicting EITHER gal gets, so if I picked Ayoka, but Aliyah gets 13/10, then that's the winning total: 23.I still get 5 pts, cuz my total (21) was within 3 of the actual (23). **
**Calbearman channeled this to me via a very disturbing dream.
