OK,
Which team has the best chance at winning?
Who doesn’t have a snowball’s chance?
Which team will talk the most smack?
Which team will strike first?
How many inches will the winning team have?
How many bucks will they down?

ONLY team I took notice of was Rob's. That team looks good, to me. The returning champs, though.....I have said all along will be tough to beat.

Who doesn’t have a snowball’s chance?

Too early to tell.....


Which team will talk the most smack?

Buckeye's....lol (he IS good)

Which team will strike first?

I sure dont wanna jinx anyone (ESPECIALLY myself)......so I'll defer this one until later.


How many inches will the winning team have?

Less than last year.

How many bucks will they down?

Istill think it'll take 8 guys scoring.

I'm not getting into who has the best or worst chance. I'll say the winning team will have 9 bucks and a score 840. Most smack? Buckeye's team of leppers.[8D]

I think there are a TON of teams who will put down 4 bucks….after that it’s all up to luck and people we aren’t so familiar with to make up the rest. Teams 33 & 38 jump out to me as having a lot of people likely to shoot a buck. After that, its anyone’s guess.

As history shows, I’m going with the bold prediction of 8 bucks and 780-820” to win it.

Team 15 is stout, but you can't go over the list without team 23 jumping out. Team 3 is a little scary as wel

Which team has the best chance at winning?Lots of good teams, but I think all of the following teams have a VERY realistic chance of checking in at least 4 bucks and goingover the 400" mark. Thatwill put them in contention.3, 4, 11, 13, 15, 21, 24, 30, 31, 37, 38, 40, 41 Nobody seems to be talking about Kelly/KY's team -but I think they look very tough. GregH & Troy are teamed-up, butI think they're a victim of circumstance, withno supporting cast to carry the back-end. This contest is about depth, not power hitting. Team 14 can contend if the young guys produce.

Who doesn’t have a snowball’s chance? Everybody else.

Which team will talk the most smack? 13. But is it really smack when you've already backed it up? When you've got a fistfull of championship rings, it should hardly come as news to anyone when you tell them that you're going to win again.

Now I know what the Chicago Bulls used to feel like - as the preseason would begin to heat up, and every other team in the league had delusions of grandeur, thinking and believing that they can win.



Think again.





As a matter of fact, I wasjust checking myselfout in the bathroom mirror when I realized that I look a little bit like Scottie Pippen - just a little bit shorter and whiter. Maybe ashade less coordinated.



Which team will strike first? Not Team 13.

How many inches will the winning team have? 850

How many bucks will they down? 8

only thing i know from past contests is that you guys are right...usually gotta be around 800" to seal the deal...


that means when i let the air out of a 60"er 2 guys one team 15 gotta let the air out of atleast 120"ers to carry a 100" average


wait, i think i just smack talked on myself...thats alright..i got faith in the rest of the team...i know most of them arent trigger happy younguns like myself... my 60"er last year was twice as big as the contest winners last year...

It's really hard to tell. I feel there's a lot of teams on here with some great hunters. Obviosuly I'm watching GregH and Shed closely, because, well...that's just scary they're together on the same team.[]
