* Play KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky v Alabama *
1. Predict the Kentucky margin of victory (+) OR loss (-). If you believe that Kentucky will lose, make sure that you make it clearly known with a -- [minus sign], or something else.
2. Predict the game high scorer, AND the total number of points he will score in the game. NOTE--it does not have to be a Kentucky player for this KSR point.
3. OVER/UNDER 38. Predict whether Kentucky's halftime score will be OVER 38, or UNDER 38, and by how many.
4. Jackson 5. OK, guys. This one is as easy as ABC. Predict whether Isaiah Jackson's Points (Points) or Rebounds minus Blocks (Reb-blocks) will be closer to the number "5." Choose either POINTS or REB-BLOCKS as your answer. (He's averaging right at 6 points, and right at 7 rebounds minus 3 blocks, so this is a pretty fair comparison).
Tie Breaker: Kentucky 3-point field goal percentage.

Re: * Play KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky v Alabama *
Further explanation on the "Jackson 5." It's not as complicated as you think.
You have two choices:
"Points."
or
"Reb-Blocks."
If Isaiah Jackson scores 8 points, pulls down 8 rebounds, and has 2 blocked shots, the "correct" answer would be "Reb-Blocks," because his "Points" would be "8," and his "Reb-Blocks" would be 6.
6 is closer to 5 than 8.
If Jackson scores 6 points, has 7 rebounds and 0 blocked shots, the "correct" answer would be "Points," because his "Points" would be 6, and his "Reb-Blocks" would be 7.
6 is closer to 5 than 7.
You're just picking the one that will be closer to 5. My luck they'll tie.

“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”

Re: * Play KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky v Alabama *
I was right, neither was close. Jackson poured in 14 points, which was 9 off the "Jackson 5" number. He grabbed 6 rebounds, but had an amazing 7 blocked shots, for -1.
-1 is closer to 5 than 14 is (6 vs 9), so the correct answer is REB-BLOCKS. Points awarded to these players:

Re: * Play KSR Hall of Fame Game Contest: Kentucky v Alabama *
By my count, I show Harlow and Blueboss with 2 points each tying for the win.
Tiebreaker was 3-point FG percentage. Cats were a disappointing 4-18, 22.2%, and Harlow's 34% prediction nipped Blueboss 38.4% for the win.
Sorry, Blueboss...no Administrator's Decision this time! Congrats, Harlow!

Not so hard to swallow the loss of the KSR point verses the loss of the game... this years basketball team is like years past football teams. They give you a glimmer of hope, and you go all in, and Lucy shows up.
