We're BAAAAAAAACK!
The 2019 Resident Genius contest is under way again, and is open to all comers.
For those of you just tuning in, the rules of this game are as follows:
-There are many measurables in a football game. Some of them appear in a box score. Your task is to guess one of them as accurately as possible. I decide what you will be guessing every week. I can and will choose from any and all quantities that appear in said box score.
-The guesses will be sorted by their distance from the correct guess, and ranked. By and large, your weekly score will be your ranking, with a few exceptions outlined below.
-If a guess wins outright, that person gets a score of -5.
-Ties are handled as follows: If there are three entries tied for 3rd, all involved in the tie get 3. The next placing gets a score of 6. If there is a tie for the win, each gets a score of 1.
-Lowest score at the end of the season will be declared the 2019 Resident Genius.
The 2019 campaign begins in Ann Arbor, where Michigan is looking to start off a big campaign to drag the program out of the mud. They start with turning the lights on for a game vs. a tomato can disguised as Middle Tennessee. I thought the lights only came on at the Big House for a big game?
QB Shea Patterson is arguably the key to the whole proceedings for the Wolverines.
Q: How many yards of total offense will Michigan QB Shea Patterson have vs. MTSU?
Deadline for picks is Saturday, August 31 at 6:30 PM CDT. Good hunting.
