What could be more unpredictable than a prediction contest when we don't even know if any games will be played, if so, how many, if any will have fans, if some players will become Covid-DL. Yes, it;s the whacky Titan-21 prediction contest.
Past winners of the prestigious Commissioner's Cup:
2015: Livernois Magic
2016: Livernois Magic
2017: Commissioner*/HS Scout (Commissioner was disqualified since family members cannot win, with the prize going to Runner-up Scout).
2018: UD Baller
2019: HS Scout
2020: Shags
Remember, you can't win if you don't play. So make your picks for the questions below.
All entries due before tip of the 3:00 p.m. on Friday, December 4, when the Titans (maybe) tip off against Michigan State. You can send predictions to me privately or post them in this thread. At the end of the year, the Commissioner's Cup, a lovely styrofoam cup with the word "Champion" written on it in indelible magic marker, will have added to it the name of the winner, alongside the names of past champions).
You may enter once (or at least once per user name), either here or at the other board.
1. What will be the Titans final regular season conference W-L record?
