OLD TOPIC-- Don't reply --Pick-em for the 2007-2008 Starting Lineup

[tornado]

Hey-- why not, that approach would have won last year,
but nobody saw it coming and we had NO winners in last year's starting lineup pick-em


this thread, even though it started in August,
still isn't anywhere near the busiest thread we've had...
One of the two busiest ones in the collegehoopsnet thread that I just updated
and it links to the busiest one if interested.

[bugregshu]

Ruffin
Cole-Scott
Crouch
Salley
Singh

[Long-Hair's Lunatics]

In August I predicted a line up that was different from anyother guesses.

Im going to go out on a limb and guess a line up no one else has posted.....

Ruffin
Maniscalco
Cole-Scott
Crouch
Egolf


Ya i know, it kinda a stretch

I know that my new prediction doesn't count but I want bragging rights when Les starts Crouch, Ruffin, Salley, Collins, and Cole-Scott....

[chitown fanatic]

Ruff
Collins
Cole-scott
Crouch
Salley

Warren first off the bench. Does that count extra?

[shaunguth]

Not feeling too good about my prediction at this point! I believe TCS and Salley will be there instead of Warren and Wilson.

Would love to see this lineup to start the season, especially with the players that would be available off the bench!

Ruffin
Crouch
Warren
Wilson
Collins

[Dub]

salley

I guess I'm out of it. What's wrong with Salley?

[Da Coach]

I am not aware of anything wrong with Salley. I think he will be starting.

[BradleyBrave]

Unless he got hurt in practice or had some sort of rule violation we don't know about, I see no reason why he won't be in the lineup on November 10.

[Die-Hard]

I'll go with:

Ruffin
Crouch
Salley
Wilson
Warren

OK...ballotting is now closed, as stated in the initial post in this thread.
Now we wait until the first game and see who starts.

Here are some stats for this starting lineup pick-em...

Over 50 entries (53)......although a couple people submitted two different entries

32 different starting lineup combinations were submitted....surprising since a couple of the starting spots seem like a lock.

The guy named as a starter most often....Daniel Ruffin was named on every single entry.

Jeremy Crouch was named on all but one entry (maybe figuring on an injury?)

The name submitted least often....(none of the walk-on players was named even once), was Anthony Thompson....not named even one time.

Sam Maniscalco was named twice, Will Egolf was named on 6 entries.

The most commonly named combination was Ruffin-Crouch-Cole-Scott-Salley-Collins, named 6 times.

Now we wait for the UIC game and see who wins.

Hey T - What's the tiebreaker, should the Ruffin/Crouch/Cole-Scott/Salley/Collins lineup come in? Would there be a pick-em 'playoff'?

[tornado]

Almost certainly someone will nail the proper starting five, and the guy who was the 1st to have submitted the winner gets a BIGGER prize, but anyone else who had the same right answer will also get a prize.

Should the starting five actually be one that nobody guessed (as in a DRuff injury, since every guess had DRuff in the starting five)
then I might go with the closest guy who had four of the five....we'll see.....

[tornado]

Hey-- you guys all want some entertainment??

Here is an early thread from last spring predicting the starting lineup for this fall...

Most people believed Jeremy Fears would start, nobody thought Cole-Scott would start, and some predicted a few interesting redshirts!!

We still won't know who won this pick-em until Saturday at the UIC game, but
if the starters are the same as they were in the Quincy game, then
NOT ONE guess correctly chose that combination of Ruffin,Crouch, Wilson, Salley, & Maniscalco.

So I hope someone wins, or I will try to still award a prize to whoever is the closest!
