Three hours left so get your points while you can.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

A little over an hour and a half left so get on it! Today is the best turnout yet with some time remaining.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

A hearty congrats to BamaJag13! Man he really must have been movin' to lock that first answer in in some search skill time!

I feel kinda bad for Rob because he was in second place but chose the wrong first answer but I could tell he had found the correct place in his search and was only a smidge behind today's champion. Rob gave up 29 points in the overall today. I'd walk softly around Rob for a couple days cuz this ain't gonna make him happy.

The questions were...

"According to Cornell’s Athletic Site, what was their Red Zone Touchdown percentage for the 2010 season?"

and...

"What was the exact date that University. President Jacob Gould Schurman led the procession for the dedication of Cornell’s Schoellkopf Field?"

Good Job, BamaJag, at least one Jaguar gets it.

[BamaJag13]

Yay! So do I need to give you my mailing info or did I give that stuff when I registered for the site? I don't remember.

[superman7515]

The first three answers are wrong. 2015 isn't for another 4 years.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

The first three answers are wrong. 2015 isn't for another 4 years.

God damnit! That's my fault. I wanted to make all the answers "look" the same and some people put the date in as 10/9/1915 and others put the date in as it would have been copied off the page as October, 9th, 1915. Once I made sure all the wrong answers were pulled and put at the bottom I corrected the first one and I put in the 2015 and used the drag feature for the first three.

My bad, I'll go fix that. The standing are legit.

[Tribe4SF]

Just how early do you plan to start tomorrow? I found the answers in a matter of seconds, but didn't look for the thread til 11:55 or so.

[Grizzaholic]

Just one more conspiracy....


Seriously though, thanks Ursus. These are a nice way to get pumped for the TEAM BANNERS and FACT-A-DAY...when they come.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Just how early do you plan to start tomorrow? I found the answers in a matter of seconds, but didn't look for the thread til 11:55 or so.

Tomorrow is an early start at around 10a MST because I have to be out of the office when it would usually start. I posted that today's would probably be a few minutes early on the PSM 720 thread this morning because it was fairly active and thought that would give all enough notice...sorry Tribe.

It's probably safe to say that giving 10-15 in front of the usual 12MST is a good idea for next week.


Tomorrow is at 10a MST just to reiterate though.

BTW, you are one CONSISTENT mofo on this game!

I'll post the overall result so far in a few minutes.

[superman7515]

I figured they were legit. But where is the fun in that after the *****/OL FU controversy from Day 1?

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Got the first one pretty much ready to go for Aug. 1st for the reigning National Champs!

Thanks for the kudos.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Here is the overall standings after 3 days of rigorous competition by you fine athletes!

TRUDAT, ya bunch of ball bustin' SOB's!

[1andDone]

If only I didn't fail at yesterday's

[ursus arctos horribilis]

If only I didn't fail at yesterday's

Yeah and look at poor Iola man. He dropped 29 points with a small misreading or mistyping of the first question and that drops him from 2nd place, 1 point out of the lead to 12th. To add insult to injury for him it takes away his ability to say that Delaboys have the top two locked down.

Poor bastard.

[bjtheflamesfan]

I tend to always fall right in the middle because I dont catch these discussions because my internal clock cant translate that quickly to MST

[Grizo406]

To all that are playing...You're Welcome! 'Cause I'm not in it.

I'm not in this because I don't need the Grand Prize, or another great PS magazine. If I did decide to play, I'd win! No doubt about that, but then folks would start crying "foul", and I don't wanna' bring that kinda' heat on Ursus.

Rest assured, he'll pay me back in hugs, later...and that's good enough for me! Anarchy or not!!xtwocentsx

[TheRevSFA]

third place...I blame crummy Shell vistaed computers.. :D

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Yay! So do I need to give you my mailing info or did I give that stuff when I registered for the site? I don't remember.

Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier Bama but I'll pm you guys...maybe over the weekend and get the mailing addresses ans so forth to send on to PSM. Your mag is reserved for ya though.

[superman7515]

Also gonna need a major credit card number, your mother's maiden name, and the last 4 of your social... Thanks.

I smell a conspiracy here - I could swear it said "Red Zone Scoring Percentage" when I had it up - maybe a coincidence and maybe I'm just paranoid, but combined with the *****/OL FU and the 2015/1915 issues, if I didn't know better I'd say that this whole thing is rigged - similar to the way the Conks rigged the 2000 election thru their friends at Diebold. My lawyer will be in touch with subpoenas...

Besides, the grand prize sucked anyways...

Rob, if you need any help let me know. I would be more than willing to attend lunches with Ursus to see if I can dig up anything incriminating.

I am sure you did read it that way which is why you got it wrong. The fella that answered ust before you and just after you read it the way it was written and got it right so your conspiracy ends there Spanos.

Oh, and in your analogy AZ that would work in the repubs had actually give the election to the guy they don't know over the guy they do know.

Closing this one fella's as the next one starts in less than an hour...at 10AM MST FOR TODAY'S GAME.
