The 2008-2009 CBW Predictions List is OPEN!!

[Snoopy the Celtics Beagle]

It's October, and time for another round of Celtics prognostications! 
The NBA CHAMPION BOSTON CELTICS and us fans have had a Summer to 
remember, as the Good Guys won the right to hoist Banner #17!

YAY!  WE WON!

But the time has come to look to the future, BANNER 18!  Fueled by 
the resurgent team of last season, will the multitude be optimistic, 
or wonder what will go wrong next and make dismal predictions?  HERE WE GO!

As a reminder to the longtime members, and an introduction to the new 
people, here's how it works:

Predictions (and changes) are accepted until the opening tipoff of 
game 01 of the Celtics regular season, which this year is Tuesday, 
October 28, 8:00pm Eastern Time.

You can specify a pen name, pseudonym, alias, what have you (please 
keep it relatively clean).  If not, then you're stuck with the name 
used on the e-mail (though your e-mail address will not be used in 
it's entirety).  One person, one vote, please, this is NOT a 
Presidential election.

Lurkers are perfectly welcome, and your anonymity WILL be respected.

If your numbers don't add up to 82 games, your entry will be made 
based on the number of wins you predict.

You can look up the current and past predictions by going on over to 
www.celticsbeagle.net and click on the link about the Predictions 
List (which will be changed this weekend for this season).   I have a 
moderately cool site and my cat will occasionally point and laugh as 
I try to add new content to it, while constantly referencing a copy 
of "Websites for Dummies" on the desk.  I bet Kim Malo has squirted 
her drink up her nose at least once when seeing my attempts to use HTML. :)

For those of you who really don't DO websites, (or perhaps your 
employer/teacher/spousal unit prefers you don't surf the fun places), 
I will be posting periodic updates to igtc and the stuff lists 
simultaneously throughout the season.

You can make your prediction one of two ways:  send e-mail to 
predictions at celticsbeagle.net (the preferred way) OR through one of 
the participating mail lists.

Keep in mind, if you insist on posting your prediction to the list, 
that I do not have time to read every single post, so title it 
appropriately, so I know it's a prediction, otherwise it might not get read.

Some people go all the way and predict specific playoff results in 
preseason.  Those won't count, but if you want to, go for it.  I'm 
going to be doing well to have the regular season done in a timely manner.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, they will be 
heard based on the size and quality of your bribe.  :)
