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 "41-0" or "35-0 Michigan", or "28-0 Go Blue", or "42-0 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:
Nobody was right, but then it's hard to predict the football gods would side with the Gophers that much. GoBlueNorth was closest with 27-24 Michigan but as Minnesota learned, close isn't good enough.
This Week's Game:
Rutgers at Michigan.
And on the Line:
I grew up watching This Old House and always appreciated Norm's quick-fix solutions to problems the homeowners complained about. Add a support here, try a little brick there, close the gaps, etc. Gophers like to burrow deep but as long as they get no closer than half yard away from your house, they're not going to upset anything.
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 locked Rutgers out of Jersey.
