Guess the Score, Win Stuff: Pants Hate Comment Count

Classy teams don't put their names on jerseys or scoreboard bars.

Also I promised Brian the puns would only last as long as I can think of them. Still thinking of them.

How this works again:

  1. I put up a winnable prize that consists of a desirable good with a headline that is very punny.
  2. Almost nobody reads the writeup and just posts their scores.
  3. The three guys who did read the writeup holler at people who don't post the final scores of this weekend's designated game (football or hoops, depending on the season), and put it in the comments like so:
    [Michigan Score]-[Opponent Score]. First person to post a particular score has it.
  4. If you got it right, we contact you. If not, go to (5)
  5. The desirable good arrives at the address you give us.
  6. Non-winners can acquire the same desirable good by trading currency for it.

Last Week's Game:

A good ol'fashioned 42-13 jug entry won by JAG333. Eleventh hit for "JAG333" on google:

4d8229fa006e3917c0095d3a72e70290

This Week:

On the road again. I can't wait to get back on the road again. Least it's places that we nearly always win.

And the Prize:

Space Bitches - Navy

But no, seriously, the guy who invented the slinky would have gone to space if he cared to. Oh and the Apollo astronauts were PAID!

If you can read this you don’t need glasses:

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 (since I won't have time to pull them on gamedays). Those caught changing their scores after the game has started will be disqualified for life. MGoEmployees and Moderators--anyone else with moderator privileges--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. We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves. The algorithm is just a regional rivalry. The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey, and would have gone to Penn State except for the NCAA's bowl ban. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus. This is not the algorithm. This is close.

36-17 UM...hoke seems to do well against teams with obviously lesser depth/talent as he should, even on the road (almost forgot about Iowa, damn)....knock on wood...go blue.

frustrating at halftime, but we pull away...think 2011 Northwestern.

there is a bug in your code:

  1. If you got it right, we contact you. If not, go to (5)

should be

  1. If you got it right, we contact you. If not, go to (6)

otherwise everyone wins. or does everyone win???!!!

 

also, what is the exact rule to determine a "closest" score?

e.g., let's say the actual score is 40-10 and there are two guesses that are close:
42-8 and 38-12. who wins? is this a tie?
