Like last year, there may be a prize for the category winners (high average, number of wins, etc.) to keep things interesting...If you missed game a game along the way, you can still play for individual game wins and records as well as the highest average per game.  If you haven't joined in yet, please do!

The whole thing is just for fun, so please participate, enjoy the contest and have fun!

Good Luck Bulls!

As with previous years' contests, Bulliever is the final judge on all entries.  He will select the winner based on pre-established criteria.  All decisions are final, unless Bulliever changes his mind.  Finally, Bulliever will only refer to himself in the third person when typing in small print.

    "For me, I never considered it that way (as a stepping stone), honestly. When I was offered the head job at South Florida, and I'm sincere about this, I never thought I would ever go anywhere."
