Prediction League RESULTS Thread

[TTT]

LlHoosier, Thanks, for the fun and excellent job…so well done of running the Prediction Thread.

[BottomLine]

Proud to be the bridesmaid to OGIUAndy's league championship.  I gave it my best but it wasn't quite good enough.  So CONGRATULATIONS on a season well played.  Hold your head high and brag a bit.  You earned the honor.

Big time thanks to LIHoosier for running the league again this year, and dealing with the chaos caused by the site crashes.  In a year dominated by our march to a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, it is easy to lose sight of the enjoyment and connection you have made possible for we hardy few who have enjoyed the competition.

May next year be every bit as challenging and rewarding as 25-26.  I can hardly wait.  HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS.

Should have been nice and rounded @Stuhooto a flat 0 at the end of the year.

It's ironic. 

I apparently finished last, but described the outcomes of the games the most accurately by far.

-1,004,002,028 was Stu's score without dropping low scores. I think I was kind enough.

Maybe @Stuhoo was working with numbers that weren't in standard base 10 format.  Or maybe he was cryptically using the atomic numbers of elements.  Or maybe he was just plain loco.    lol

For you nine guys that got IUs score right.  Merry Christmas!!!!

With less than a minute and a half to go I'm looking at a 45-16 score an I have 45-17.  I'm looking at picking up 174 points.  Coach Cig is not looking to run the score up.  As he explained to the press after the game, he sent a quarterback (Notice unnamed) in with orders to run out the clock.  You know the old "Victory Formation".  In other words take a knee.  Instead he decides on his own to run around the left side for a meaningless touchdown.

And that, ladies and gentlemen is how the second string quarterback became the third string quarterback and how I ended up in 12th with 117 points.  As I said - Merry Christmas!

The thought crossed my mind when I saw Wilson keep the ball that it was going to be very good for me in the Prediction Contest, lol.

Suck it up buttercup from all of us who had 52 points for IU.

I have won in the past in the same manner and ended up doing a victory dance around the family room.  Only grumbling because I am historically terrible in the first two weeks, both here and in basketball.  Just wanted you winners to know I'm coming to get you.

[LIHoosier]

A missed extra point from perfection. @BottomLine and @Home Jersey each get 174 points for winning the Howard game, both missing IU's score by that single kick. Roll call for those predicting the shutout: @AZ Hoosier @BannerVille @Demo @HoosierReb01 @IUHoosierJoe @johnsoniu @Napleshoosier @rcbowla @ronzo4IU @Stuhoo @taco corp. Overall leaderboard is the best of the two games predicted so far.

I was expecting some bonus points for predicting the 10-minute 4th quarter. lol. Thank you for doing this. It’s always a lot of fun.
