"Young" would not be a word I'd use to describe this team. Many of them went on a two-year mission before starting the clock on their eligibility. Most of the starters are redshirt juniors and seniors. A lot of these guys are Andrew Luck's age. I want to like them, since weirdness is endearing and taking on a tough schedule as an independent is kinda cool, and their fans are pretty good at gallows humor.
But they're also getting quite the reputation for some not-Mormon things.
How this works again:
- Readers predict the final score of a designated game by placing a guess in the comments, preferably in the format of [M score][hyphen][Opp score], for example "41-30" or "35-31 Michigan", or "28-24 Go Blue", or "38-0 Harbaugh!" etc.
- The three guys who read this part holler at people who post in a different format
- First person (by timestamp) to post a particular score has it.
- If you got it right, I contact you for an address by your MGoBlog account email, and you give me some time to get that to you.
- If nobody got it right or I don't hear from the winner(s) we push it to next week or let it go.
About Last Time:
Was 28-7 too close for your tastes? Gabranto nailed the score perfectly. MGoNukeE again came in with the assist. Gracias!
This Week's Game:
More Brigham than Young if you know what I mean.
And on the Line:
If you haven't been on the MGoStore lately you should go see the Harbaughffseason line. We got a submarine shirt, and a Dad Bod shirt, and a Satellite Camps shirt to troll southerners with, and my personal favorite: the 2015 softball pizza shirt. It was a fun offseason.
Fine Print:
One entry per user. First user to choose a set of scores wins, determined by the timestamp of your entry (for my ease I prefer if you don't post it as a reply to another person's score--if you do it won't help or hurt you). Deadline for entries is 24 hours before the start of the game. MGoEmployees and moderators exempt from winning. The algorithm finds the winners as it chooses. The algorithm is self-correcting. The algorithm consistently runs power. The algorithm is banned in Jersey. The algorithm has a weird thing going on with Utah these days.
