NCAA Contest

[Marlow]

Will T&FN be having an NCAA contest? If not, what about you tafnut? You gonna have your famous contest?

If T&FN does not have one (I seem to remember the NCAA gave them some totally bogus reason why they couldn't), then there WILL the Tafnut Challenge! . . . um . . . I mean the Marl. . . uh . . . there WILL be a contest!!

[Marlow]

SWEEET!! The Wayback Machine took me into the past and I answered a question that hadn't even been asked yet!!!!

[Marlow]

So are the MtnVuGuiz not having one?

If not, the Taflow Challenge will commence at 11:00am EDT on this Wednesday when the Deca begins. it'll be a "Pick-All-The-Winners" game and you may fire when ready, Gridley.

I think TFN doesn't do NCAA contests any more. Something about the evils of gambling which might corrupt the purity of collegiate athletics. As if :twisted: At any rate, I think gh explained that their contests (which usually offer TFN subscriptions/extensions) was considered a major no no at Shawanee Mission or wherever the f***ing idiots at the the puzzle palace reside. Oh, guys, what about the huge amount of money tossed into the various BB tourney pools. Won't even get into the huger amount bet of college FB games. But, no worries mate We never have scandals. Oh ops:

[tandfman]

If healthy, Carol Rodriguez wins the w400m.

Nah. I'll go with Marlow and the T&FN form chart. Shana Cox all the way. If Rodriguez is 100% she could make it interesting, but I'll still stick with Cox.
