PrintAre we going to do one of these? I saw this idea mentioned in the ATQ Fantasy Baseball thread and I thought that we should do this. If you guys have done it in the past, my apologies, I wasn't around this loony bin back then. We could do it on ESPN, Yahoo!, CBS, etc. Just a little friendly (HA!) competition. Maybe some Oregon swag as a prize.
I'd be happy to set something up if you guys wanted to do this.
[UPDATE by jtlight] There will be an official ATQ group with an official ATQ prize! We'll be posting the details next week.

Well, if we are doing one, I'm in.
I am always terrible with brackets, but nonetheless, I’m in.
This off-season officially sucks for FIVE reasons and counting...
I'm in and willing to put up the prize too.
So here are my requirements.
1. Since I’m buying the prize, I’m not doing the work of setting this up. Somebody else needs to do it.
2. The prize can’t be more than $50.
3. It also has to be something that can be mailed easily.
4. It needs to apply to everyone, unfortunately we have high schoolers participating here too. So a case of PBR is out Tako.
5. Come up with suggestions of what I get if I win. I’m going with I get to be coach of the Oregon Men’s Basketball team if I win.
So let’s talk about what the prize should be.
Well Canzano, maybe your parents didn’t believe in you.

oh one other thing.
6. It has to be something cool, I want to see 50+ people signed up for this thing

A signed copy of LaMichael James plea bargain?

I'll set it up.
If you win, you reign superior over all of us.
Um…case of PBR for the 21+ group, and a case of Capri Sun for the underaged.

you set it up yet
i have set up a few of these for AtQ and would be happy to do another
I Don't Yell O I SCREAM!
I'll set it up later this afternoon.
I still haven’t got a consensus on where we want to do this.

Something FROM
Oregon would be nice too

Tako, disreguard #4
You and I both know that 16 is really 21 in most parts of Asia; ergo, I will take a case of PBR if I happen to reign victorious
I'm in if axemen is out
I don’t think I want to see any more gloting on here from him.
Kidding!
But seriously, I’m in.
May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...
What do you guys think
Jersey?
Oregon Sweatshirt?
Or how about this
Well Canzano, maybe your parents didn’t believe in you.

I have to say that the jersey would be fun, the sweatshirt would be useful, but the Dixon autograph would be the coolest.
Still…I could really use a new sweatshirt. It gets down to like 60 degrees here in the winter.

assuming I wasn’t going to go 0/32 in the first round.

How about one of these with a basketball, I could always use a 2nd Gnome

I’m in.
My only idea for prizes is some kind of package of cool random stuff – Chip Kelly-style visor, UO antenna ball, license plate frame, etc. Not very creative, but I figured I’d throw it out there. It’s something I would be interested in winning.

I want a Chip Kelly visor.
They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.

I want a Chip Kelly belly.
Whoops! Too late.

I like the idea of a Oregon Ducks goodie box.
Ankle braclets, hand cuffs, orangejump suit and a blank license plate?
Well Canzano, maybe your parents didn’t believe in you.

Shiv, smuggled posters of Rita Hayworth, official UO anal bum cover, that sort of thing.

I love it when she does that thing with her hair.

How about just simply stealing some merchandise from the bookstore and offering it up?
My parents don't believe in Canzano either.

im in as well.
after all, I did win the college bowl mania
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
6meangreen6 = axemen23 + Gorbachav5 / Matt Daddy's hair * benzduck's lawn
for god’s sake this site is becoming too confusing.

Did you just divide by zero?

Thanks for doing it offically, Jared. Easier and more organized for all of us.
Just make it so that the under 18 crowd can register too.

Well, I guess that rules out doing the contest through XXXMarchMadnessHotties.com

You failed to include Gorbachav5 in your maths.
Please see me after class.

OK, I'll contribute a prize..
A high-quality autographed reproduction (pigment inks on Moab Entrada art paper) of the1951 Bowman football card of Brad Ecklund, New York Yankees center, Oregon grad and ’48 Cotton Bowl teammate of Norm Van Brocklin and Woodley Lewis. An All-Pro in ’50 and ’51.
Whitie died on February 6 of this year at his home in Mount Holly Township, NJ.
And I’m willing to bet most AtQers have never heard of him.
(The autograph will be mine, not Whitie’s. Sorry.)
everything is history, eventually.
If I win, I'll sell it back to you for $87,000.

You are ineligible.
Wouldn’t want to damage your amateur status in life.
Oh, snap!

Tell you what, if you get a job anytime soon and stop selling Hitler related T-shirts, I'll take this seriously.
My parents don't believe in Canzano either.

Dude, if either of us ever take anything seriously, everyone else needs to duck and cover.
Besides, I have a job. Bill Musgrave’s collection agency. I get a piece of all the money you still owe me.
everything is history, eventually.
Happy to support the pop tart allowance and Ecklund memorabilia fund.
Keep up the good work, benz.
