***For reasons explained below, I asked Topper to get rid of the old thread.***
The rules are simple: predict the moment when Markus
surpasses (
not ties) Jerel McNeal. Name the opponent, the game period and the time remaining on the clock (e.g., Jim-Bob's Truck Driving School; Second Half; 6:13). You can choose an overtime if you want. The person who comes the closest wins. It doesn't matter whether your prediction is earlier or later than it occurs...just whoever is the closest.
Edited to provide new rules and procedures for submitting your entries: Please note that this is different than before, but it should not really affect anyone that already submitted their prediction.
- Submit your predictions to me via PM. Do not post it in this thread. Predictions posted in this thread will not count.
- Submissions are due by Monday, November 4, 2019, at 7:00 PM CT. This is 24 hours before the start of the Loyola game. If you send your prediction after that time, it will not count.
- Please put your predictions in the following format: "Username: Team; Period; Time" It makes it a lot easier if I can just cut and paste.
- I will post everyone's predictions in this thread before the start of the first game.
- In the event it is not completely obvious and unambiguous what the game clock said at the time Markus surpasses Jerel, I will refer to the play-by-play on the Marquette website for the specific time. And no, we're not going to consider tenths of a second.
- Only one entry allowed per person.
The reason for this change is so that people will not know what others have picked. The goal is to prevent people from locking others out by picking times that are one second later than someone else's pick. You've all seen "that guy" on The Price is Right. I'm trying to prevent anyone from being "that guy." If it happens by accident, so be it.
I kept a copy of all previous predictions, so there is no need for anyone to resubmit those.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Sorry for the confusion. If anyone has any questions, just let me know.
And, to make it up to everyone for the inconvenience, I've decided to
double the prize for winning. The winner will receive more street cred than you can possibly carry and
two years of free Scoop. There might be a special prize thrown in if someone picks the time exactly.
Way to go brew... ::)

Actually, you shouldn't be blaming Brew. Brew picked a higher number than you. In other words, Brew actually "that guy'd" himself. If you really want to screw with someone, you pick the number immediately below someone. That way, you cut them off on one side, but don't cut yourself off in the process.
Classic Tamu
Exact time only should count. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
::) This is why we can't have nice things.

Strange I PM you but not on list

I know, I know...wrong thread
Although I did not enter the contest and will not give a specific time of game, I think and hope it will happen tonight. I think Wojo and Markus will want it over so that it will not be in the back of anyone's mind, mostly Markus's, come the Purdue game.
Missed the deadline, but it's going to happen with 15:22 left in the first half against Purdue. Guaranteed.
Can I change my selection? Just change the "second half" to "first half."
Anyone who predicted anything other than LMU should be banned for a day.
Unless Wojo sits Markus (not going to happen), I like TheDeaneTeam's chances.
Congrats DeaneTeam.
Way to go Markus!!
