AZ BU FAN, Thanks for all the work you have put into this contest. It was very enjoyable and look forward to this contest and the Braves season next year. Hopefully the Braves and I will do better next season. Again Thanks for all the time you put into it.

Thanks for recognizing my unthinkable achievement, AZ!
I put it all on the line and even predicted I may lose all my games. Does that merit a bonus point or something...or 10 points maybe???

Congrats to the co-champs this season! Not easy to hold on in the intense stretch of the season.
Chico - I had money on you through that poll of who we thought the winner would be, so thanks for not letting me down!!!

And thanks especially to AZ for the enormous workload involved in running this contest, which is sure to be a hit for years to come! You really know how to get the crowd into the games!

I second the great job by AZ BU FAN! I think I stopped playing once I knew I could never pick BU to win. Congrats to the winners.

I second the great job by AZ BU FAN! I think I stopped playing once I knew I could never pick BU to win. Congrats to the winners.

And I would venture to say that one of the biggest keys to doing well in the contest is picking AGAINST Bradley. I think my downfall came when I started picking BU every game since the Evansville home game.
What was I thinking!!!????
Let's see how everyone fairs when we become a 9-9 team again!

[Chico]

Congrats BUJeff. Thanks for the confidence in me Little Brave. It was hard picking against the Braves so often and picking isu to win so often, but you can't go with your heart in these contests. I predict I will be picking the Braves more often next season. Thanks for everything AzFan.

congrats to you too.

I believe I picked Bradley only twice this year. host Drake and host SIU. so went 14-4 in Bradley games.

I also picked Creighton I believe all 18 games and 19 including bracket buster.

thanks for all the hard work AZ and look forward to it next year.
