the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
Guess the Score, Win Stuff: Illinois
Welcome bloggers to the newest regular MGoFeature, and the only one that gives you free stuff. Usually it'll be something from the MGoStore; occasionally someone will donate or sponsor a different item. It works like thusly:
- Wednesday mornings I put up a winnable prize that consists of a desirable good.
- You guess the final scores of this weekend's designated game (football or hoops, depending on the season), and put it in the comments. First person to post a particular score has it.
- If you got it right, we contact you. If not, go to (5)
- The desirable good arrives at the address you give us.
- Non-winners can acquire the same desirable good by trading currency for it.
This Week's Game:
Illinois Fighting Illini of Illinois (We're from Illinois!) vs. the Michigan Wolverines, in a contest of footballs.
This Week's Prize:
CHICKS DIG SCARS T-SHIRT!
The latest in wearable technology from MGoBlog, this shirt may cause a sudden Aneurysm of Leadership. Your friends will remark upon your incredible grit, and late-game three point shooting ability. Options are Six Threes at Breslin Maize, or Big Ten Title Blue.
Notes: If you win and prefer another shirt, that's cool; pick an MGoShirt.
Yes I feel a tiny bit bad about THE_KNOWLEDGE except 1.) I figure you like free stuff more than being a "top friend"; 2.) We've had this in the works for a very long time; and 3.) Being from the future he was well aware of this.
Rules: 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). If nobody gets the score, this week's prize carries over to the following week's. Deadline for entries is 24 hours before the start of the game (since I won't have time to pull them on gamedays). MGoEmployees and Moderators--anyone else with moderator priveleges--are exempt from winning (because you could change your timestamp). If you choose the score that Brian published in the official preview and it actually ends up the final score, well, that would be pretty amazing because Brian picks scores like 29-11 all the time.

Next question.
Frank: A little housewarming gift. To new beginnings.
Me: I actually gave this to you for your wedding.
Frank: This model?
Me: This exact one
24-9, Michigan.
The Human Torch was denied a bank loan.
No one has picked that score yet....
Those Who Stay Will Be Champions
So...how's about 38-8, Michigan. Illinois gets a safety and 2 FGs. I don't think that's taken yet.
I'm not a lunatic. Seriously, i'm not.
Ok, maybe just a little bit.
Michigan 56 Illinois 13
as luck would have it I'm existing in the filter bubble.

'M-Burns', I'll never have better facial hair than this...
Very funny bit about THE_KNOWLEDGE already knew this was coming. It will be entertaining to find out what THE_KNOWLEDGE's plan was to cope with the event, which THE_KNOWLEDGE clearly could foresee.

2013 resolution - make it onto the 2014 favorite MGoPosters post, not ironically
One and a half million - 0. Michigan wins

47-19 Michigan. We let them hang around far too long before pulling away.
56 - 0
A good game all around (well, for Michigan anyway)
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I think that hasn't been taken yet.
Casey Anthony: Buckeye fan.
Many FGs
Apparently someone posted Ron Zook's offensive playbook online
Michigan scores big, Illinois manages a field goal and scores a TD in garbage time.
We had subs. It was crazy.







Michigan - 36 Illinois -12
