        Exciting Big East Pick'em Contest

Correctly pick the winners of the following games and score
points.  Score 1 point for a non-conference win,  Score 2 points
for a conference win (those games marked with an asterisk),
Score 3 points for a successful win call on the 'key' conference
games (those games marked with 2 asterisks).  Key games are as
chosen by Lindy's Magazine.  For conference games you only score
the 2 or 3 points for the W side (none for the losing team's column).
For example, if BC beats Rutgers, as you predicted, you get
3 points in the BC Column for correctly predicting the outcome
of a key Big East game and 0 points in the Rutgers column.

Prizes?  We don't need no stinking prizes.

To submit your entry, save this posting to a file in your
directory, edit the file by going down each column and marking a W
after the team name that you think the subject team will defeat.
As an example, If you pick Miami to win all of its games except
for Penn State, FSU, Iowa, and Syracuse -- the Miami column would
look like as shown below.  Also shown below is the scoring you
would receive if Miami lost their opening game to Iowa and
were (very) upset by Temple, but won all the rest of their games.


        Miami              Points

        Arizona    W         1 (for a non-conference win)
        FSU                  0 (for not picking the correct winner)
        @Penn St             0 (for not picking the correct winner)

        @SDSU      W         1 (for a non-conference win)
                             --
                             10 points in the 'Miami' column.

Send the file to Bob Dieckmann by September 3.  To send the file,
e-mail it to rwd@mtfme.att.com

The following should work for you:

  mailx rwd@mtfme.att.com < filename


Do not try to *R*eply; it won't work.

If you don't understand the instructions, ask Mark Mitchell.
He's got a better handle on what I'm trying to say than I do.

0 points will be scored for picking both teams to win a particular
game; e.g., picking BC to win over RU and also picking RU to 
beat BC nets you a zip.  Only mark Ws (lining them up in the
column helps me in the presentation).

I will publish the standings each week.

At the bottom of this posting is a list of entries received to date.
If you sent an entry but are not listed, resend.
