M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

Welcome lionrawr.

You have two OlieO fans here with you. Dr. Strangelove and iam416 are your fellow bucknuts. Our biggest rule with OlieO fans is that you keep any smack talk here in your own dedicated thread. You can post in the other threads, with the understanding that you are posting amongst a majority of Michigan fans. We're probably not going to see things the same way the average OlieO fan sees them.

Other than that, welcome and enjoy.

Yours truly (aka Frank Grimes) snuck in with a 2nd place finish....and on the 'booby' prize entry based on my disastrous 24th place finish in the regular season standings to boot!

Spike your Dad just left Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale to "float around the Caribbean and get fat" as he puts it cruise! Yeah, after 15 weeks in the regular, I was 20 points behind in 2nd, didn't want the Bowl Contest to end up the same way, tried to build an early lead, well-researched heavy confidence points, of course it backfired. Oh well, next season!

For example, SDSU beaten by Lafayette, no time left, 51 yard field goal!?! Took my 33 pts with them.

[iam416]

Yeah, but SDSU was a 4' point favorite. You were hosed in that game when SDS didn't get the 2pt conversion making OT an impossibility.

Onward to OSU news, here is my predicted finish -- and it's hard b/c I think UFM could take a number of players -- e.g., I'm not sure Reeves is a "need"...anywho...

Taylor Decker
Camren Williams
Kyle Dodson
Armani Reeves
Davonte Neal
Bam Bradley (as an WLB)

I wish they had 5 more spots, but such is life.

[Optimus Prime]

I know, SDSU still would not have covered, they lost it earlier in the match, just saying they had no business losing the game, period. Or regular season for me, Michigan scores "twice" on the same drive, both TD's overturned, "fails" to cover by .5 pt, took my 25 game confidence points away and first place too.

The FIESTA Bowl cost my brother second, he lost 33 pts on the game and 2nd place overall ultimately by 8 pts.

Last, Why Urban, why?

The FIESTA Bowl cost my brother second, he lost 33 pts on the game and 2nd place overall ultimately by 8 pts.

Gotta do a complete "what if" -- I'm not sure how much Sean had on that game -- I know he had Okie State, too...if he had them for 26, then your brother wouldn't have passed him. Of course, the winner had Stanford and fairly big. So, it's likely that your brother would have WON if Okie State covered....I'll do the "what if" tonight...heh

[Optimus Prime]

Sure there are several permutations, be sure to drink plenty of beer. Placing 30 -35 points on Alabama would have won it for the top - 3.

I wanted LSU to win but I knew Alabama would likely prevail. Beat a serious Conference rival twice in one season, while both teams ranked in top 5? Tall order...no surprise.

[iam416]

The website has a great "what if" feature. Should take 2 seconds. I will, nonetheless, consume my fair share of lager.

[SeanB]

I lost 29 on the Okie/Stanford game. I don't count Clemson, actually, because it was kind of a wash for the top entries, I think.

Haven't done the math, but I'm pretty sure if the Stanford game goes my way, I'm the winner. I'm still pleased with the finish, and the payout! As talent would say...'woot'.

Prime, glad you got to visit with Dad and Ann. He loves his cruises, that's for sure!

[Optimus Prime]

Yes, he needed LSU to win as well that would have given him 4 more, putting over the top. You had 23 on LSU, he had 27....as mentioned early in the season, makes CFB & Bowls a little extra special!

[iam416]

Correct. Sean wins if poke TD isnt reversed. Interestingly, 5th place, an Irish fan, wins if ND covers.

[Optimus Prime]

Had my little brother run the "what if" from his user ID, the following results post, simply by having Okie St. Cover, Frank Grimes took Stanford. "Call Of Duty" wins by 1.

No. Username Points TieDif Win%

Grimes had Okie State for 29:

2. CALLOFDUTY455
3. LSWIGER433
4. SMOLNAR424

[Optimus Prime]

Oh I see Grimes did take Okie St., too bad.

[Optimus Prime]

Whoever coined the phrase "crime does not pay" never shared that information with Ohio.

Man what a douchebag representing THE OSHITU. You would think that the good people who are alums of THE OSHITU would demand his resignation for all the times he's embarrassed them. Oh...wait...we're talking about THE OSHITU alums...Never mind.
