(Early) Pick-em for Bradley's Starting Lineup

SM
DSE

TB

I think DD will start the regular season, but JL sometimes mixes it up preseason, and DD is coming off an injury, so DSE will start this game.

Seniors-33 points.

Attendance-4357

Have we ever had an attendance that low?

I have no idea...

[tornado]

the numbers for the exhibitions are not going to be easy to find...

Heres a few that are well documented......
11/03/05 BU played an exhibition vs. SIUE at Robertson -- attendance was announced at 1971
11/01/06 vs. Winona State at Robertson -- attendance was 2547
11/01/07 vs. St. Ambrose at Robertson -- 4150

and I have recall of some exhibitions in earlier years that were very well attended - in the 3000 - 3500 range
(2003-2004 when Faulknor, Gillingham, Gilbert, and Cello were seniors & JJ Tauai was a freshman, there was an exceptionally large crowd of around 3500)
.......and other years that crowds were sparse, maybe in the 1500 range.


***Dec. 1, 1993 a regular season game was held there against IWU -- and the attendance was 5205

Wow. I am getting confused on what game and where......

Here was the original pick-em question...

"select five players who you think will start the FIRST Bradley exhibition game..."
...so, yes, that is obviously the Quincy game in the new arena on-campus.


the two tiebreaker questions are..
"-as a tiebreaker, guess the total number of points that will be scored by the Bradley seniors in the first exhibition game
(Andrew Warren, Dodie Dunson, and Sam Maniscalco should be the seniors who'll be playing)

-AS A 2nd TIEBREAKER...guess the attendance...it is expected that the first exhibition will be played in the new arena.."

This pick-em is now closed........I know it ran a long time so some people submitted guessed more than once, so I will only go with the latest submission.....
..so here's an update of all the guesses......and who has them
We will find out the winner sometime on November 6......


TB, DD, WE, SM, AW (22) - amk, PTH, KB, AEB, BB, jenny, wily, RSE1, sam h, ned, housttx, Rusty, DUB, SFP, fan69', Buesch, toddgak, bask nut, bugreg, Duane 82, chitown, BB (a 2nd similar guess)
TB, DD, DSE, WE, SM - BJD
TB, DSE, WE, SM, AW (5) - B4L, fish, boogie, real f, BUfan14
TB, DSE, WE, SM, AT - Braves2011
TB, DSE, WE, MK, AT - BU R
TB, WE, SM, JP, AW (5) - mrcd, ben, AZ BU', mex, throw me
TB, WE, SM, AT, AW - FWO', FWO (another similar guess)
DD, WE, SM, JP, AW (2) - LB, jeffsu
DD, DSE, WE, AT, AW - bdstuck
DD, DSE, WE, MK, AW - spit
DD, DSE, WE, SM, AT - ph

guesses with a ' behind them are revisions, so I am no longer going to consider the first guess of anyone who revises and picks a 2nd lineup

Somewhere in the recent past, the starting line up pick em was finishing
Fall darkness settled on the Forum, as the BU season was almost beginning
The man named T on the BFF, shut down the entries the other night
a cast of thousands started waiting, to see if they were right

So its too late, too late, too late
Too late to post
Too late, too late, too late, too late!

Sitting by his computer keyboard, aware of the deadline cue
The poster named BUFAN, still hoped to beat both me and you
And there's T still over there, he's acting pretty cool
But when it comes to his contest rules, he never plays the fool

So its too late, too late, too late
Too late to post
Too late, too late, too late, too late!


Apologies to Def Leppard

I was waiting to see if anyone picked the relatively un-athletic combo of SM, JE, MK, WE, and JP....but I am going to stick my neck out and say at least ONE of our best returning players is NOT going to start and probably not even going to play vs. Quincy -- so the lineup we will see Nov. 6 will NOT be one of the more commonly chosen ones......

[AZ BU Fan]

Here we go again with injuries???

But don't tell my heart, they've broken some more parts
I just don't think we'd understand
And if you tell my heart, they can't play with their achy parts
I'm worried they'll go into the tank and lose again!

Apologies to Billy Ray Cyrus....

well - of course the pick-em is already closed.......
but the game is tomorrow and it's pretty apparently that Sam Maniscalco is unlikely to play...
thus, if that's the case, then only a few guesses chose not to put Sam into the projected starting lineup...

If Sam doesn't start -- it largely narrows the field of possible winners for our pick-em to just these three guesses.......

TB, DSE, WE, MK, AT - BU R
DD, DSE, WE, AT, AW - bdstuck
DD, DSE, WE, MK, AW - spit

Wow. I think it kinda looks like no one will win this pick-em.
