First...the rules: 1) You must be a registered member of this message board. 2) You must completely answer the contest questions. 3) Post must be submitted prior to published game start time. 4) There can be no modifications to your post after the published game start time. 5) Your prediction must be part of this original thread.

And now, the contest: For the Bulls game against the Knights, on Friday, November 23, please select the following: 1) The winning team 2) The final score 3) Bulls leading rusher 4) Bulls leading receiver 5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over) Please try to keep in the above format so that it will be easier to manage. Sample response would be: 1) South Florida 2) 80-3 3) Jordan Cronkrite 4) Tyre McCants 5) 450 After posting your entry, please feel free make your case for your picks, or predict other aspects of the game. It will make the thread much more entertaining if everyone gives their reasons for their picks, and make predictions on other aspects like special teams, rushing, or who to expect at Quarterback. Important: The winner will be decided with the first and second prediction items. I am looking for the person that comes closest to the actual score, not simply the margin of victory. If more than one person is correct, or equally close, we'll go to item three. Closest wins. If still tied, we go to item four - if still tied, item 5.

Contest The TBP Official In Game Thread: Bulls at Temple
Brad posted a topic in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
vs November 17, 2018 12:00 p.m. Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA This will serve as our official in game thread for in game discussions and commentary. Stand alone topics should still be posted in a new thread. For those preferring the brand new chat room for in game discussion, you can find the BullsChat! chat room link in the above title bar, the mobile menu selection or click here. Both the board and the chat room function well on mobile phone, tablet or desktop. GAME DAY vs Temple Looking to end the program’s first three-game skid since dropping three straight early in the 2015 season, USF completes a two-game road swing at Temple. Temple (23-7) and USF (22-8) have the best records in AAC conference play over the past three seasons.The Bulls’ final three regular season games are against teams above the Bulls in the AAC East Division standings. The Bulls rolled past Temple, 43-7, last year, but have never won in Philadelphia (0-2), falling, 46-30, in their last trip in 2016 and, 37-28, in 2012. USF has lost three straight conference games for the first time since the 2013 season when the Bulls lost their last six. WILCOX GOES WILD: Junior tight end Mitchell Wilcox, coming of seven catches for 90 yards at Cincinnati, now owns USF tight end records for season receptions (35), season yards (468), game receptions (8) and career yards (904). Leads all AAC tight ends and ranks 10th nationally among tight ends with 3.9 rpg and 468 yards. ROAD WARRIORS: USF has gone 13-4 away from Tampa (10-4 in true road games) in the last three seasons and has won six of its last nine conference road games.

Ok, I don't know how I wasn't ready except I have been traveling and studying, but the USF Mens' Basketball Prediction Contest will start with the game: So, we missed the Alabama A&M game the other day. But we will start the contest with the Monday game. I'll aim to have the thread up tomorrow before football. It's a game by game slugfest, and I hope you'll participate. It has been fun in years past. Like last year, we'll have prizes for game winners and for about 4-5 categories of season winners. It's a marathon, I hop you'll play. Through the competition of a prediction contest, we all might learn a little bit more about our team. Go Bulls!
