We must do this for hoops.  We must.

Who's gonna run it?  Who's gonna participate?

EXCELLENT, Marietta!

2nc--Very very happy to have you participating.  Let me know what you decide on. 

I'll keep the scorecard (by individual and in total).  I'm inclined to not post personal totals as I don't want anyone to shy away from participating because they think that their pledge is small.  Every bit helps.  Every bit.

For those who are not familiar, here's how it works:  You set categories and amounts that will be earned for achievements in the categories.  (For instance, you might pledge $8 per win and/or $42 for beating BG at BG and/or a dollar for every rebound Reggie grabs during the season, etc--whatever category or categories you want.)  Then, whatever dollar amount you achieve, you send a check in that amount to the Bobcat Club.  We go by the honor system in that we trust that you'll pay up on your pledge, but no one will check up on it or hound you for the payment.

It's a great, exciting way to beneficial to, and part of, the basketball program.

ARE YOU IN?!!

As I would love to do more, I figured this is the best I can do......

$2 per win
$1 per assist by Stevie
$0.10 per point by Walt
$10 per win against Miami
$5 per win against Akron

Is this something you would accept?

20 Assists + 22 Steals - 16 Turnovers = 26 Bobcat Challenge exhibition dollars

The real challenge begins this Saturday.  Because of my Football Challenge and a couple of other obligations I think I should only do this challenge divided in half.   However..here is my actual Basketball Bobcat Challenge:

(Assists + Steals - Turnovers) X 50 cents until 20 wins then it goes to $1 for every game after that.

GO CATS

Monroe,

Here's my pledge (pending that I have enough to pay, recent marriage and all - may have to be paid over two years):

$1 per home win (not including specific games below)
$2 per road win  (not including specific games below)
$3 for win at a directional Michigan
$4 Robert Morris (Coach "Skippy" has our number)
$5 for win @ any MAC East Division Team (add $1 for win @ BG - new building, same problems)
$5 for any sweep of MAC East Division Team (includes MAC Tournament)
$5 for any "Red Line" Upset (http://www.midmajority.com/redline)
$5 for any MAC Championship (Divisional, Regular Season, Tournament)
$10 for a NCAA Tournament game Win
$10 for Sweet 16
$15 for Elite 8
$20 for Final Four
$50 for National Runner-up
$100 for National Championship

 

According to my calculations...105 assists + 73 Steals - 83 turnovers = 95 x .5 = $47.50 so far.  

Only 14 more wins for the stakes to go up to 100% of the totals for games after 20 wins...GO CATS!!

Prelim calc shows that participants have achieved about $440.90 to date.

This excludes the Mercyhurst game, which I'll add in soon.

Good job by all who are in.

I question the allegiance of those who don't take this opp to at least participate in some small way for the remaining games of this season.

My pledge is as follows:

 until 20 wins-(assists + steals - turnovers) X .50 = 467 + 233 - 333 = 367 X .5 = $183,50
20th win and after - (ast + st - to) X $1 = 81 + 44 - 53 = $72

total so far = $255.50

Here is looking for a 25 + 10 - 5 game tomorrow.

GO CATS

Up to about $679.80 through the end of the regular season.

Do your personal record a favor:  Choose some topics and pledge terms for the post-season.  That way, when we win, you win.

It's only logical.
