BS Predictorama Rankings - Week 8

Oh what a glorious day it was. Way back yonder on the 28th of October in the year of our Lord 2008. The flowers were in full bloom, bosoms were bouncing everywhere you looked, and Siller was starting at quarterback. The Cowboy named Joe rode into town for perhaps a final hurrah. Ah, the good old days.

The predictions for week eight were

Tim says:

Michigan - 22
Purdue - 10

J Money says:
Michigan - 24
Purdue - 10

Boilerdowd says:
Michigan - 3
Purdue - 2

Final score? Purdue 48 - Michigan 42. Who saw that coming? Apparently none of us. It was shocking. Terrifically shocking if I do say so myself.

Now on to our terrible predictions for that game. All of us picked the Victors to win, and win they did not, so we all gladly forfeit a point. J Money picks up a point for closest to Michigans score, a point for closest to overall score, and another half for closest to Purdues score. I get a half for being closest to Purdues score also. Boilerdowd gets nothing and likes it.

The scoring for week 8 is

J Money : 2.5
Tim : .5
Boilerdowd : 0

So the tally for the season so far is

Boilerdowd : 16
Tim : 12.5
J Money : 12.5

College Football News dot com's "Fearless Big Ten Predictions":

CFN Prediction: Purdue 38 … Purdue 24 ... Line: Michigan State -10

Looks like Siller's Gold Squad owns Painter's Black Squad - I think 24 might be a little high...

I doubt many people in LAnsing will be interested, but a late season intra-squad scrimmage is just the kind of boost we need to impress the Bowl Selection Committee.; 9:17 AM, November 07, 2008

Nice picture, Tim...how am I still leading? You guys stink.; 8:51 AM, November 08, 2008

BS about BS

"I like to tell people going to Hammer & Rails is a lot like going to Class of '50 lecture hall. You're going to learn a lot, it's full of other people, and your teacher is very knowledgeable. Boiled Sports to me, though, is like going to Harry's Chocolate Shop. It's small, kind of dark and cramped, people are cracking wise, Boilerdowd and J are pouring out the tough spirits, and the vague smell of beer and popcorn lingers with you."

"My favorite Purdue Sports site. Where do I begin? Mayhaps it's the witty repartee, mayhaps it's the sexy writers, mayhaps it's my rack prominently displayed (or modeling, whatevs) on their website. One thing's for sure: I have a crush...and it's been boiled." -More Than Sweet Potatoes
