OK......here is a challenge where you will definitely need your tribemats in order to win. The premise is pretty easy. All you need to do is reply to this thread, naming someone who has been named to the Men's All-ACC basketball teams (first, second or third) at least twice. But...there is a catch. Here are the details.
-You may only name one player in each post
-You can use any player who has been named to either the first, second or third team All-ACC teams at least twice since the league was formed
-Once a player has been correctly named, he can no longer be used
-Edited posts will be considered invalid
-Incorrectly spelled names will be considered invalid
-You must list both the first name and last name to be valid. Nicknames are OK (ex: Len Bias or Leonard Bias is fine)
-Each correct reply will be worth 1 point
-Whichever tribe posts the most correct replies/gets the most points, will win
-In order to get a point for a post, after your first point, you must wait until at least 3 other tribemates have replied to the thread. It does not matter whether they have scored a point or not, they just need to reply.
-The deadline to post is 9 PM on Saturday, April 20th (thats 9 PM tomorrow night). Any post with a timestamp of 9:01 PM or later will be considered invalid.
One bit of advice. If you make an incorrect reply, or accidentally edit your post.....I'd leave it there. Even though you wont get a point, it will at least count as a reply and keep your tribe moving. If you delete it, it might cause your rotation to get screwed up.
By my count, there are 174 players who qualify. In the event of a tie, whichever team gets the first correct point/reply will win. OK.....GO!

Whoa, Lawrence.
Do you mean that there have to be 3 replies from teammates?
or
that there have to be replies from 3 teammates?
There's a huge difference.

I think you need replys from 3 different team members.
So, as I see it, JJ is still waiting for another team member to get in the game before either of his last two posts counts.
That means they are incorrectly named and we can use them again (correctly), right?

Billy Cunningham and Phil Ford are on the table. NCTrafficMan.....did Edward Scott make it multiple times? I do not show that.
Jason Williams.
I'm confused. Is this considered a reply?
(That's three replies since me, although one incorrect).

Ok, 3 replies finally....

This sucks because they have one more player than us. In a challenge like this, that is a huge advantage!
-JD
You are right. On the TV show when the teams are outnumbered, they make some sit out.

Either Terpy, Bilbo, or I can make the next post. If someone else gets online and would just make a post, we'd be in good shape!

Hold down the fort, Bill Bobaggins. I'll be back as soon as I can.
-JD
(Sadly, I only think Akins made it once.)
No matter....
Next choice: Phil Ford, since he's still "on the table."
-JD
Akins got All-ACC his junior year and this year. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
Really? My list doesn't show last year's. Oh well....
Good job!

Need.. one more... person... on...

Did you get my email?

Sorry - you were indeed right - akins wasn't granted All-ACC honors his junior year <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="redface.gif" />
Well - I have a slew of people in stock - terpy - get your arse in gear.
We got shafted on the "on the boards all the time" split of people.
