*** Official CatsIllustrated Stupid Underdog Pick Contest - Week 2 ***

[Old_Red]

Lots of folks cleaned up this week. Congrats to all those who chose Houston and Kentucky. You get a double celebration. We've got 10 multiple week winners already. Hope you can all just live with the formatting of the results. There is not much I can do with it. JBAR44, you've got to give me a little more to work with. TTU/UK fan, remember I always take your first pick unless you specifically state in the second pick that you want to replace the first one (well, it also has to be a legal replacement - you can't replace a game that has already started).

Hey Old Red,

Thanks for doing this. Everyone likes trying to pick winners. Could you share your perl script that you use to track winners? I've dabbled in perl a tiny bit and would like to see your script.

Thanks,
KyMaster

Hmmm.... There used to be a way to do private messaging. I really don't want to post my email on a public forum so I'm not sure how I would share it. I'd probably have to do a bit of explanation and some clean up before I'd be happy sharing it. I've been hacking away this summer and fall to get something that sort of works with the new format. Unfortunately, I still can't read the picks thread directly because of something that causes it to continuously redirect my access. I have to save the pages away first. At any rate, we probably need to take this offline somehow. The details will boggle some and annoy most people who post on Rupps Rafters.

Thanks again for the code. Everyone can't be famous. Lol

Life just got easier for me. I think I figured out how to get around the cookie issue that was preventing me from reading the rivals web pages. Now I just have to rewrite the prediction contest code and I'll be back to where I was last year.
