This week's question is rather straight-forward:

How many points will Iowa State score against West Virginia?

If you change your answer, I'll add 12 points to your cumulative score.  If you say you're going to change your answer, even if you don't or if you ask if you can change your answer, or if you tattle about somebody else changing their answer or even you talk about people changing their answer, I will add 6 points to your cumulative score for each utterance of the offending comment.  If you ask me a question, I'll add 4 points to your cumulative score.  If you guess an answer that's more than everybody else's answer combined, I'll add 10 points to your total score.  If you make more than three wisecracks per week about my rules, I'll add 7 points to your total score.

Thank you for playing.  I appreciate you and I hope you enjoy  yourself.

If I'm not mistaken, there are only two Big 12 games scheduled this week:
  • Oklahoma at TCU and
  • Kansas at Texas Tech

Out of all four of those teams who will have the most penalties, how many penalties will they have and how many yards will be associated with those penalties?  

Acceptable answers will contain three parts.  Here's an example of an acceptable answer:
  • OU 7-73

Keep in mind that "most penalties" takes precedence over yards in penalties.  Let's imagine the four teams in question end up with the following penalties:
  • OU 7-73
  • TCU 8-113
  • KU 6-45
  • TT 12-89

The correct answer would be Texas Tech, 12-89.  TCU may have gotten more yards in penalties but that is tertiary information.

In the event there is more than one team tied for the most penalties, answers will be ranked by how close you came to guessing the number of penalties and the number of yards in penalties.

You may ask me one question each until I have answered five questions on this topic altogether, at which point each subsequent question will earn the inquirer a penalty of 5 points.

If you change your answer, I will penalize you 10 points.

Thank you for playing.  I am ever so grateful to be blessed by such wonderful online friends.

It's clear if you just read it.  Mighty gracious of you to allow 5 questions.

I think you’ve got an error here Primo.  I had 21 and add 6 to that you’d get 27.  Maybe you added the wrong column (the actual point differences on last week’s guesses?

Cousin Fred,

It's way too early on a Monday morning to start with me. 

You see what I did, don't you?  I added the margin of your miss to your cumulative score.  I did it for everybody.  It is a halfassed contest you know.

But if you're going to squawk like a wet hen, I guess I'll fix it so you can lord over Junior for another week - because basically that's the only difference between the way it was and the way it is.

'* this player is on double secret probation this week for stirring up trouble

The missed it by column adds up but the guessed is wrong FYI.  Doesn't change the scores though.  
Just thought I'd point that out...
