Guess the Score, Win Stuff: Gophers Comment Count

Seth

Guessthescore

How this works again:

  1. 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 "38-34 Gardner FTW!" or "38-0" etc.
  2. The three guys who read this part holler at people who post in a different format
  3. First person (by timestamp) to post a particular score has it.
  4. 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.
  5. If nobody got it right we push it to next week or let it go.
  6. Brian voices displeasure at the puns in the headlines.

Why we do it:

Hey look: we sell t-shirts. Also sometimes there's free stuff to give away.

About Last Week:

Nobody won. Even Utah fans went home wet long after they were supposed to be drinking with the knowledge they were outgained by a team intent on shooting themselves in the face.

This Week's Game:

And on the Line:

Always-Mike--SM_1024x1024

Reference is to when much ado was being made over Gardner not learning to ID blocking assignments (Borges had the RBs and OL doing it). Six Zero went ahead and made a shirt out of it. It is good advice for anyone facing blitzes in their faces, be the pressure real, imagined, or metaphorical.

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. Nine people read this last time and thus was MGoBlog broken forever. The algorithm must've been something before electricity. The algorithm is a Cindarella story out of nowhere. And I say "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." The algorithm killed Gardner.This is not the algorithm. It tells people it is anyway.

The coaches can't decide who should start at qb. No one plays it. Subsequently, UM (not that um) hikes it through the end zone for a safety on every offensive play. The scoreboard reads 222-0 in favor of Minnesota early in the 4th quarter, when strange things begin to occur:



Jim Harbaugh flies into the stadium on a pair of crisply pleated khakis. He stares daggers into anyone wearing maroon and gold.



Les Miles is spotted chewing grass around the stadium like a goat on meth.



Michael Thompson is heard yelling angry things into a nearby pay phone.



Greg Mattison begins shedding tears at an alarming pace.



Kordell Stewart throws a hot dog which bounces off one fan and is eaten out of mid air by another.



Brady Hoke is loaded into an ambulance because he can't stop clapping and saying wellllllll.



Someone asks Rich Rod to explain is happening. He says "I cannot defend this"



Suddenly, every fans phone rings... It is a text from a D BrandonUM asking for a $5 donation to cover the expenses of the "extra show brought to you by our friends at coke"



Minnesota freaks out and leaves. They forfeit. The scoreboard operator doesn't know what to put on the board. He looks at the jug which says 1903. "Sounds good to me!"

48-19, Michigan.
Minnesota gets a couple of field goals and a touchdown early, and then a garbage touchdown late.(missed 2pt. conversion)
Michigan uses DG in more read option and opens up the running game.
Their offense returns to being a JUGgernaut.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this one goes in overtime tied at 13 with Funchess getting the game winner in the endzone, Braylon Edwards style. Brown Jug stays in Michigan along with our first touchdown against a P5 opponent.

Go Blue!

10-7 MIchigan.

 

Big victory as we celebrate our first offensive touchdown of the year against a Power 5 school.  It's caused by a Frank Clark forced turnover and run back to the 4 yard line with 4 minutes left in th 4th quarter.  Devin G for the rushing touchdown on 4th down.

77-11 Michigan

Offense (and defense to a degree) struggles early giving Minny an 11-0 lead on a touchdown, field goal and offense coughs up a safety. Michigan then scores 77 unanswered points in the second and third quarters before putting Gardner in for garbage time. Yes, this is also a "Morris starts" prediction. Not that I want it to happen.

Goofers are coming in with a backup QB, their offense wasn't all that great to start with, and their strength (running game) is a good matchup for M.

They'll be lucky to cross midfield.
