Next week we gonna pay homage to former Big 12 member, Texas A&M.85 yards but we lose by 2 TD.
How many total net yards rushing will Trayveon Williams have against Clemson?

Dang he only threw 11 passes in the whole damn game? Crazy. I guess when you dominate an opponent like that your starters get benched early. Not to mention when you're running all over them.Was Switzer back running the Wishbone?

So you instead of asking a question that can have 101 possible answers (thus ensuring separation among entrants), you want me to ask a question with no more than 6 probable answers, thus guaranteeing a clustering of contestants instead of a separation.I like BC's suggestion but why not just ask which half will his last turn over occur
You don’t statistic much, do you, BC?
The turnover has to be by Ehlinger. He throws a pick or fumbles. I’m not sure how much more simple the question can be. You know I am kind of an a-hole. Piss me off too much and you can all stick this game up your asses.not tryin to piss you off but this is the most important thing Ive done today

I lose track when people change their names. I typically just keep on calling them the same thing so as not to confuse myself.wow, mIRC days.... that really jogs the memory.
I've been utee94 since a couple boards before cnn/si, and that's the only name I've ever used on message boards.
Interestingly enough, in the dark ages while Al Gore was still putting the final touches on his invention of the internet, I was known as "Shiner" on the Internet Relay Chat (IRC).
I made a heck of a lot better Shiner than this new guy, that's for sure.
you drank that swill back in your youth?Live Oak was not a brewery until 1997. Had the big 20-year celebration last year. I got a lot of free beer that day, but that's not unusual. :)

I'll be camping all Spring Break out at Garner State Park with the owner. Last time we did that, we went through 3 kegs in a few days. I'll definitely need to train up for that.
No turnovers, the kid plays lights out.I LIKE this guy!
The Garner State Park Leakey Concan Vanderpool Lake Wood area of Texas is a lovely spot.I understand everything is bigger in Texas, but do the park names have to use 8 words?
So my clever plan to shake out some separation between contestants failed miserably as I ended up with a binary result despite not listening to the unsolicited advice of BC or 320.just a suggestion CH
I’ll search through our pages of idle conversation (totally loved, embraced & acceped by me), find the picks, sort them out & post the rankings AFTER church and chicken dinner.
It seems to me that if you picked N/A you should be ranked 1I think he kinda has to do it that way.
I think there were 2 such picks
anything else should get no worse then a 2
I just wish Sam would let me know when he was going to play lights outI wouldn't say he played "lights out", but the only way he's going to get anywhere is to keep playing him. He's got to learn his receivers and how to work with them come go time. He's developing a feel for Collen Johnson and Lil' Jordan. Also Andrew Beck. He's still had less starts than Shane but shows more promise. Sam would be a hero on Alabama, supporting cast has plenty to do with it. He (and Herman) are enough to get us back to 8-9 win Mack Brown firing status.

I like having you on this forum, BC. It isn’t often that a dumbass like me gets to feel intellectually superior but you never fail to give me that joy.Oh hush and just put me down for getting it right. 0 TO's. Sam's the guy.
Taylor Martinez?Seems like he's been there for about 147 years. Didn't he play for the Huskers when they were in the B12?
How many years has he redshirted?
147
This coming week, we will pay homage to another former friend of the Big 12, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.I'll go with 24 points
This week they travel to Ann Arbor to play the Michigan Wolverines.
Our question for you is this - how many points will our beloved Cornhuskers score?
utee just picked Nebbie to score 147.False.
17 points doth Nebbie score. Michigan scores at will.
It looks like 3 of us picked 17 points for Nebbie.can I now change mine to 18? Closest w/o going over?
I'll say 16.

I forgot to enter last week. Guess it wouldn't be a half-assed contest if I remembered to enter every week. I'm doing my part.Halfway well put. The other half which you appropriately omitted is that despite missing a week, you're still in 3rd. I missed the first week and I'm still in 2nd. Between the two of us, our half-assed involvement is keeping us near the top of the leader board. BC is on top, and it's time for him to miss a week too. You can't stay respectable in this half-assed contest if you pick every week.

Because that's just the kind of zany half-assed thing that happens around here.
Weird, I posted something to another thread and it ended up here...wow

Now even though we've had questions on Oklahoma and Texas before, we would be remiss if we did not take a look at them one last time this weekend as we roll into the Red River Shoot Out Rivalry Showdown.I almost missed this week's question, but I remembered to come check today.
Assuming one of these two teams has more total yards (net rushing plus net passing, return yards not included) than the other, I need for you to pick (a) which team will have more and (b) how much more.
Here's an example for the very slow. Last year OU had 518 while Texas had 428 so the winning answer would have been OU 90.
Thank you for playing. Don't ask me questions and don't change your answer.
Well Primo you should know better. I don’t fawn, calf or insert your favorite underdeveloped ungulate. See RRS, Haiku, as a lone Sooner holding my own against you Horn hordes hereabouts, taking each comer on, 17 words at a time.Whoa, tiger. Hold the mayo.
And if you don’t agree, you can dock me 12 hundred points if you like, although that would probably full assed. 600 will do then.

This week's question is rather straight-forward:35
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.

* chomping on my last nerve
If I'm not mistaken, there are only two Big 12 games scheduled this week:TTU 7 penalties -80 yrds
- 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.

If you provide me with superfluous information, I will take five points off your score.
You really should run for office somewhere. I will move there.So the missus and I drove nino-tres out to Alpine to visit Sul Ross and I figured out what Texas really needs. Forget immigration, foreign affairs, global warming or the economy.
These are the kind of laws I could live by.
The most pressing need facing Texas is a strong and active cell phone signal throughout the state.I guess I don't understand. My 8-track plays no matter where I go.
There were times my spotify wouldn't play.
For this week's question...KM 350
What are the initials of the Big 12 player who will get the most total offensive yards (passing, rushing, receiving, not return) this week and how many yards will he get?
Your answer should look something like this:
AB 380
I don't want to know who AB is, what team he plays for or what mad mathematical breakdown you used to come up with your answer.
If you provide me with superfluous information, I will take five points off your score.
Since wvu still has to play Texas & OU, it’ll all shake out. Wouldn’t surprise me if Iowa St and/or Texas Tech pull another upset or two.I'm surprised to see this post on this thread. Yesterday morning, I intended to post it on the Back Porch thread in response to Cousin Fred talking about the conference being up for grabs and 320 saying it's still Texas' to win, if they can win out.

Congratulations, ut-erin. You're this week's winner.That leads to a question, Erin's been in the winner's circle already earlier this season. If you win a half-assed contest twice, does that make it a full-assed victory? And if you win it thrice, is that a 3/2-assed win, and so on? I mean if someone was really good at this, they might get up to 3 or 4 asses worth of W's by the end of a season ...

How hard is it to look up a joke and paste it here?Would you just let me whine?
You weren't even trying.
This week Oklahoma goes to West Virginia on Friday evening to play the Mountaineers.10 of 30
Collectively, how many possessions will Oklahoma and West Virginia have and how many of those will they score touchdowns on?
Answers should look something like this example:
24 of 28
If you'd like to knock 5 points off your cumulative season score, post a cat video that will make me laugh or at least smile.
Loved it. Perfect musical accompaniment too.Thank you! That was Asturias Leyenda arranged for beginning to intermediate students by my guitar teacher (who is brilliant). It seemed fitting, but it's cool that you thought so too.
Life will be full of many contradictions, Junior.Only if you let em.
I figure this game will be something like 51-49. That gives somebody 7 TDS and somebody else 6 tds and change. So I’ve got 13 TDS total. Kick in 4 punts and two TOs. 13 TDS out of 19 possessions.16 TD's for 25 possessions by my count.
13 of 19.
Ps I’m rooting for WVa.
Can you imagine scoring 72 and losing?No, not in this sport at least ...
16 TD's for 25 possessions by my count.I count 17 in 25.

Can you imagine how the college OT solution completely screws up stats and data? Nobody scored 72 or 74 points in that game.No different then baseball or basketball except the playing structure is much different then regular play
After all the soccer shoot-out nonsense, the scored should have been recorded as 32-31, to preserve the reality of the contest.
I hate college OT.
No different then baseball or basketball except the playing structure is much different then regular play
I simply disagree with you BC
we want the game decided not left tied
maybe we have the two head coaches duke it out on the fifty
The tie is a part of sports that was removed by consumers who never played sports.I really dont care why it was removed
I just think that the fans should be given a winner and loser for sitting there over 4 housrs
Those fans don't deserve football. They deserve rock, paper, scissors. 5 seconds. Got a winner. Instant gratification.well dont worry cause with all the rule changes targeting etc we wont have football long
Not only MIGHT the answer look like that, I find it highly likely the winning answer will look like that. :)That’s a fine half assed answer if I ever saw one. Give this man half a cookie
That's a huge difference. Baseball OT is just to play more baseball. Same with basketball.I agree with you about ties, but ...
College football OT was thought up by some commie to satisfy TV networks and untraditional fans.
If football were truly played that way then Mike Leach would be working on his 20th NC. It's a different game. The big boys on defense are gassed. Offense has a distinct advantage.
Give 'em one time-out and play a 5th quarter. And kiss your sister if it comes down to it.
Commies.
Oh, and there's no such thing as baseball OT. That's because "time" (one half of the term "over time") doesn't exist as a controlling factor in baseball. Basketball, yes. Baseball, no.ok fred then call it extra innings sheeeeesh
This week's question -Lil'Jordan Humphrey, 100, 2
In the Big 12 Championship game, (1) who will be the leading receiver, (2) how many receiving yards will they have, and (3) how many receiving TDs will they score?
I'm looking for three pieces of data that will be scored in 1 to 3 sequence. If you get 2 and 3 right but miss #1, it won't matter because #1 will have eliminated you.
Winning answers might look like this:
Lil'Jordan Humphries, 140, 2
Sometimes you're really smart BC, and other times you're dumb as a stump.
So then one must be an act and the other for real. Yours to decide.If one puts these two behaviors together into a single term, it leads to “smart-ass.” Lol, yeah that works for me, how ‘bout you?

I have a question for you.This is the greatest thing that’s happened to this board since LBM’s “just pick one” thread that generated almost as many pages as you’d find in God’s file cabinets in Bruce Almighty.
Would you like to stop now or continue through the bowl season?
I didn't submit two. The first was a joke. You shoulda laughed at it.Well aren’t you a regular Paul Lynn from Hollywood Squares.

Well aren’t you a regular Paul Lynn from Hollywood Squares.
So to appease BC, I refrained from asking for a joke or a cat video and as far as I can see, he didn't even submit an answer
Who?It's Paul Lynde
BC can just get over it.Poor kid. Ask me for the 1T9PD.
(But you are correct sir, I got my dobber in the dirt when this became a comedic sideshow rather than a test of true football half-assery)
Ask me for the 1T9PD.
Who?Yeah, who?
Yeah, who?
Well aren’t you a regular Paul Lynn from Hollywood Squares.
Sounds like my kind of guy. So I'll take Slick's comment as a compliment. :)But of course. A compliment of the highest order.
Gene Shalit?
Actually I think that’s the guy with the crazy hair, crazy eyes, and crazy mustache.
But I could be wrong.
I have a question for you.I'd be happy to make some more half-ass guesses for the bowl games, if you are up for cooking up the questions.
Would you like to stop now or continue through the bowl season?
Gene Shalit?Cesar Romero
Avery Schreiber?
Charlie Weaver?
John Astin?
Cesar Romero?
Gabe Kaplan?
Jack Albertson?
Victor Buono?
Arte Johnson?
There were so many more intellectually stimulating shows on like the Adams Fanily, Hogan’s Hero’s, Green Acres, Mr Ed, Beverly Hillbillies and of course GilliganI see what you did there.

Am I correct in thinking only three of you played along this past week? Cousin Fred with -17, Gig'em with 0, and Fearless with -8.I was out of town all week, but I'm back now and will try to play.
The correct answer is -4. Looks like Fearless and Gig'em tied for 1st place, Cousin Fred was in 3rd and the rest of you half-assers take the penalty.
Final questionIn the 3rd Q, Alabama will score more points, and they will score 10
In the NC game, on the ESPN game tracker, who will score the most points in the third quarter and how many will they score?
I agree. Work and timing.FF! You’re applying full assed thinking to a half assed contest - lol
another question: when you reference "who" will score the most points, are you looking for an individual player or team?
what about a tie breaker?
both teams could score 7 or 10 and a player from each team or two players from the same team could each score 6
I agree. Work and timing.Jeez. Give whatever answer you want. You'll find out what I meant when I score it.

Final questionI am not sure what happened on the previous bowl questions, I must have skipped over them or forgot to respond. Oh well.

Howdy Gigem, congrats on the win Thursday night.Well put 94,my guess based on the robust,entertaining shadow that he cast HH would want the show to go on,half-assedly of course.So I missed the 1st installment,thought I'd spot the weak competition a head start!!!
I think you have a great idea. We could start for week 2, or even halfway through the season since this is the half-assed contest.
Dang. Some of you have much higher opinion of LSUs offense than me. I’m going with 200 yards.If the Horns keep LSU to 200 in the air then ithe Tower will be lit up for a victory
If the Horns keep LSU to 200 in the air then ithe Tower will be lit up for a victory
I revise my answer to 225 yards.325 yards
so if your over by 1 somebody who is under by 50 could beat youYep. Just like TPIR. Good Ol' Bob Barker.
ISU and 50You sir are a Bastage,stole my thunder,now I have to regroup and think.Which puts me at a decided disadvantage.I could get lucky which puts me at another decided disadvantage.
you could have picked 51 & ISUThat would practically be copy-catting.
Congratulations, CWS Sooner. You are this week's half-assed resident genius.Bringing all the rankings to one page
Here's how everybody did -
(https://i.imgur.com/ueFAZZU.png)
Congrats to ALA2262 for guessing 262 yards. You only missed it by 209 yards! I was very suprised LSU could move the ball on Texas like they did. Congrats LSU!week2
(https://i.imgur.com/2pXDGzJ.png)
Hubbard had 121 yards on 37 carries.somebody actually carried the ball 37 times against us and only got 121 yards
Do we count it, or just consider it a wasted half-assed Saturday?
somebody actually carried the ball 37 times against us and only got 121 yardsOSU could say much the same. Take away Sanders' two interceptions, or take away miscues and bad decisions in the red zone, and the Pokes win. It was a close game that could have gone either way.
I'll take that any day of the week
as far as selling out to stop Hubbard well if we did the boys didnt take advantage of it
take away our two punt fumbles and we win by 20
I didn’t put an answer in but count it.Well, then, the score should be like this:
I would argue that fumbling a punt is on a higher level of ineptitude then throwing an interception
Ive been watching UT games for over 50 years and I dont remember a Horn team fumbling 2 punts in the same game
we better figure that out
hell if you cant catch the punt then just let it go instead of running up real quick and trying to field it
I would argue that fumbling a punt is on a higher level of ineptitude then throwing an interception
320, we've sort of got the same discussion going on two different threads.
If stats were what counted, Arkansas would have won.
Yep. Smiling “up” at us indeed.I mean, we ALL read his stories, right? If even 25% were true, well... ;)
Anybody be opposed to this weeks' Question being about Bama/LSU? I think the game will carry a pretty high level of interest and implications in the CFP picture?Fine with me, Gigem.

Sure, you're in a better conference. But you left home.I didn’t say that. I think that college football fans from any conference would be interested in a 1 vs 2 matchup.
it's called the spread offense
So much for defense in the SEC as well.
I gave Texas way too much credit and TCU way too little.TCU has a fine defense, but their offense only had 196 yards of offense. 3 Sooner turnovers--one a pick-six and another a fumble at the TCU 7--were what kept it close.
