Texas-OU Game Week Contest

by PB @ BON on Oct 10, 2008 12:33 PM CDT in Football Comment 105 comments

In lieu of rewarding the weekly prize for the pick 'em this week, we're doing a special Texas-Oklahoma pick 'em contest. Points are awarded as described in each category. Leave your entry in the comments; submissions due by kickoff.

Each contestant starts with a score of 0. Lowest score wins a copy of Rose Bowl Dreams and a BON t-shirt. If winning score is less than 0, winner also receives a Texas shirt/poster/whatever-they want, from any online retailer you choose, $60 value or less).

1. Total points for Texas = __________ (Add difference between actual and predicted to your score)

2. Total points for Oklahoma = __________ (Add difference between actual and predicted to your score)

3. Margin of victory = Texas by ______ or Oklahoma by _______ (Add difference between actual and predicted to your score. e.g. predicted OU by 8 when Texas actually wins by 7 = +15 difference)

4. Total offense for Texas = ______ yards (Multiply difference between predicted and actual and multiply by 0.1, rounding up as appropriate. Add to your total score. E.g. Predicted 410, Actual 456 = +5 points to your score (46 yards x 0.1 = 4.6, rounded up to 5.)

5. Total offense for Oklahoma = ______ yards (Same scoring as in #4)

6. More passing yards: McCoy or Bradford (Subtract 5 points for correct answer)

7. Texas net rushing yards = over/under 135 (Subtract 5 points for correct answer)

8. Team leading at halftime: Texas / Oklahoma / Tie Game (Subtract 5 points for correct answer)

9. Jordan Shipley net receiving yards = over/under 90 (Subtract 5 points for correct answer)

10. Texas AP Ranking on Sunday afternoon = _______. (Subtract 10 points if exact. Subtract 5 points if within 1 spot of actual. Subtract 3 points if within 2 spots of actual.)

Good luck, and Hook 'Em!

Isn’t #3 a bit superfluous given the first two questions? Either you stick by your first two answers and the third just beefs up your score, or you go wild with #3 to cover for fucking up #1/#2. Am I missing the point of this one?

yes and no

You could get both 1 & 2 wrong, Say 35 30 but still get three correct. the first two are overall predicters of score the third is a predictor of the spead. They are related but not mutually exclusive. And as you mentioned, there is a certain strategy to it.

by billb on Oct 9, 2008 12:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Well

The answers to 1 and 2 logically imply the answer to 3, so yes it is redundant.

Of course you could throw logic out the window and your answer to 3 could be different then abs(1 – 2), but then you wouldn’t be logical. You’d be a sooner.

by pleaseplaykindle on Oct 9, 2008 1:02 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

No you're right

Two reasons for Question 3:

(1) Part of it is just a scoring thing. I kinda worked through what I thought it might take to push a 0 score and needed a few points somewhere, and…

(2) I think your team scores/margin of victory prediction is the most important prediction compared with some of the noise below. So it seemed a fair way to add a few points (and get me to 10 questions).

Overall, though, you’re right: it’s redundant. On a less busy day, I might’ve come up with a more elegant solution.

Strategy element

I didn’t consider that, but it’s interesting. I’m all for it, if people wanna get funky. Low score wins. Period.

Few have hedged.

I didn’t quite realize the option on #3 to use as a hedge.

At what point does a pessimist become an OU fan? nt

by whills on Oct 10, 2008 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

by carsondude on Oct 10, 2008 11:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

No, that it is becoming of an OU fan.

I hate pessimistic rabble.

whatever dorks

how old are you guys anyway? did you go to school during the late akers / mcwilliams years? suffer through the 1990 cotton bowl vs. miami? didn’t think so. i learned long ago to temper my expectations regarding 18-22 year old athletes. believe me, i’m as happy as anyone about this result. who calls themselves “dude” anyway?

by brentmcd on Oct 13, 2008 7:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

heh heh

I’ll bet you $100 that whills learned to temper his expectations regarding 18-22 years old athletes before you did.

And, dude! What’s wrong with “dude”?

After we "Bomar" Bradford...

Joey Halzle almost hangs on to game, but in postgame interview inexplicably blames Bradford’s “wounded knee.” WTF? Joey Small Pox?

Usually by my progression through OU week I already have a clear score and some very real sense of the game…and whatever attendant anxiety that is special only for super football events and the occasional basketball or baseball game.

So, two things have happened. I had no score in my head. There was also this eerie sense of silence and calm all day long. No anxiety. Spooky. Tonight I remembered something I had written not too long ago. I didn’t post it because it wasn’t relevant to anything. I realized there was my score, at least half of it. Texas has only scored 29 points 10 times. But they have won 9 of those.

Didn’t mean to wait you out for devious means, horndude. It was a crooked path of its ownself.

Being in Hawaii for the week, I’ll be in front of the TV at 6 AM here. And I’m feeling confident. Irrationally, marvelously, deliriously confident.

I remember starting a road trip the day after 41-38. And telling God that I was fulfilled when it came to sports, that I was gifted with the greatest game and the greatest outcome I could have hoped for. I thought that euphoria would last forever, and although my gratitude will, the bliss did not.

I’m ready for another life-altering victory. It could be tomorrow.

that really sucks having to do that.

i did it for 4 and a half years, minus the deployments. but it builds character as a Longhorn fan when you have to face “adversity” like this to ensure you are as devout a fan as they come.
