The (Un)Official 2008 Crew Wagering Thread

Previous winners:
2005 - KCBus 2006 - POdinCowtown 2007 - KCBus

What is it?
As long suffering Crew fans we need distractions throughout the season to take some of the sting off the, well, you know what. Some choose booze. Some chase kittens with a squirt gun. Some choose this foolishness; to wager.

Who can participate?

When?
It's on, baby. It's on.

Why?
Why not?

How?
Each wager will be posted in a separate thread as a poll. Make sure you are signed-on before voting. Your vote cannot be changed. Usually one point will be awarded for correct picks, zero for incorrect ones; unless it is a special wager. The winner at the end of the season gets a short amount of praise but not much else. Actually, you might be target for random insults if you win.

Hey Grouchy -- I think you have enough authority over this that you can call it the "Official" wagering thread from now on. Just saying.

at this rate, KCbus is going to have a double digit lead over me before the end of April. Can we just go ahead and hand out the trophey and let the rest of us fight for 2nd place honors w/o having to watch him win it all... again?

I just want to go on the record as saying I'm completely OK with this. :)

I'm also in the 98th percentile on the Yahoo! Tournament Pick 'Em. I guess I'm just good at predictions.

Either that, or the law of averages is making up for all those losing lottery tickets.

From what I hear about years past...I'm just happy to be tied with KCbus after the first week.

Where are the one pointers in the standings?
Surely not everyone had 0 or 2 points, did they?
Just curious.
