Congratulations to our last 2021 Game Twelve winner @feardabull2 !

The Contest: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to select the winner for the week's South Florida football game - as well as make some tie-breaking prognostications. Prizes await, as does the respect and admiration of Bulls fans worldwide.

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.


For additional contest rules, please read the small print below.

And now, the contest:

For the Bulls game against the Cougars, on Saturday, September 3, 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) Jaren Mangham
4) Jimmy Horn
5) 450

After posting your entry, please 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. After that, whoever gives the best reasoning, and pre-game analysis wins.*

Prize information:  All prizes are in stock at TheBullsPen.com home office in sunny Gilbert, Arizona, or are direct shipped from Amazon.   It gets very hectic at the home office during the season.  Hence, your prize may not ship until after the season.  If an item is out of stock, you will receive a prize of similar value.

*Small Print - As with previous years' contests, Bulliever is the final judge on all entries. He will select the winner based on secret, pre-established criteria. All decisions are final.

All non-prediction posts will be split off into this thread until the contest is completed and unlocked to all posters Partial predictions that lack less than winner and score will be ignored and not qualify for tie breakers involving the last three elements..
