September 22, 20196 yr Welfare check on Huck? Is his house flooded or something? The Rice score was submitted so quickly it seemed automated. I'm jonesing to see the new standings!
September 22, 20196 yr Author @blacklab is the one who enters the actual final scores. I say we boycott surly until it's updated.

September 23, 20196 yr since I screwed up and forgot to save my LSU prediction, can I use my mulligan and guess the bye week?
September 23, 20196 yr noJust curious if im missing something or if the program just goofed but i noticed that out of the people that had 45 pts for texas that the groups that were off by more pts on okie score were ahead of me/huck/ghost who were only off by 3 on okie score So a prediction that was 45-37 has more points than my 45-27...same texas score but closer on the okie st score

On your examples above: 45-37 = 8 pt spread and 82 total points 45-27 = 18 pt spread and 72 total points Actual score 36-30 = 6 pt spread and 66 total points. So: 45-37 = 2(8-6) + 1(82-66) = 20 pt deduction 45-27 = 2(18-6) + 1(72-66) = 30 pt deduction

October 3, 20196 yr Well F-me. After a reboot, the contest site wants me to login... but no combination of username or email and password works.... No automated way to reset the pw. Any chance of whacking the pw on my contest acct?

October 5, 20196 yr Link doesn’t look normal to me. The blanks for entry are not there, nor are the previous weeks entries, etc. Edited October 5, 20196 yr by brojangles2 Was logged out. Disregard 🤦🏻♂️

October 6, 20196 yr Predicted 41-20.. It was 42-24 until the final minute garbage time WVU TD fucked me into 4th in the paying pool. Edited October 6, 20196 yr by B00M
October 6, 20196 yr You guys should thank me for always entering the pay pool in these contests because I’m basically just giving you my money. Next year I’m just going to video myself lighting my money on fire and post it.
October 6, 20196 yr the formula works out weird. Consider the WV game. Score 42-31 Here's a couple of the guesses (from results page). 16 is a better prediction than 17. He's 4 points closer on the Texas score, and the same on the WV score, but they get the same points? Seems goofy. 16 dnaguy (41 - 27) 189 17 Iguana (37 - 27) 189
October 6, 20196 yr actual margin = 11 actual total = 73 start with 200, subtract 2 for each point off on margin, 1 point per total off dna guy --margin = 14 --total = 68 margin off by 3, total off by 5, 200 - (2x3) - 5 = 189 iguana --margin = 10 --total = 64 margin off by 1, total off by 9, 200 - (1x2) - 9 = 189
October 6, 20196 yr Any reason why a prediction wouldn't be saved? Put in my prediction either Thursday or Friday, checked again yesterday when the game ended to see if the scores had been updated yet. Both times my prediction (38-24) showed but now it shows I didn't make one... Not like I've got money on it or anything but still confusing

I feel your pain, I predicted 41-24 - all it took to ruin my day was 2 4th down conversion leading to a meaningless score. Oh well - always next week. Fuck OU (still working out all the maths to get my picks in)
October 7, 20196 yr Yeah, 7 of us had 42-24. Should have known Herman can't win a conference game by 3 scores.
October 7, 20196 yr If I hadn't won week one in the money pool, I'd be more upset about the fact that I've been sucking eggs ever since then.
October 7, 20196 yr Just over here lurking in the top 10 (money pool). I’ll be making my move soon boys, soon.

October 13, 20196 yr I set up a spreadsheet for my game picks so that I can track my score immediately after the games. (No, I don't have a life.) I used the equation in the first post in the thread, and I have a glitch or something that I can't figure out. All of the points for the games match the website except the points for the LSU game. The website shows that I got 131 points for that prediction, but my spreadsheet shows 143 points. Where am I messing up? Also, when will the ousucks game results be posted?
