Herky823's super great, not at all dumb or convoluted Iowa football prediction game.

[WCFHawkeye]

Week 4 had all 29 correctly picking Iowa, and 15 of 29 picking correctly the 2 touchdowns by Petras. Those 15 are bolded.

With that said, there is now a sole leader in first place.

Here are the standings through Week 4, with total points (40 points max possible):

1. @L. Wade Childress 35

2. @brantshawks 30
2. @Callisto 30
2. @Debit One 30
2. @Gushawk 30
2. @Pedro 30

Week 5 against Maryland, 28 people have Iowa winning, @tcondon with the lone dissenting pick.

In the Petras' touchdown category:

1 TD: 10 people
2 TD's: 15 people
3 TD's: 4 people

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Wow, I love everyone on that list. Humbled to be in the company of so many good posters and football minds. Let’s finish strong!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

You guys fucking suck.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

You guys fucking suck.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Tagline LOL

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Lets not be cruel to Spencer

 

[WCFHawkeye]

We need more smack talk in this thread, and I applaud @L. Wade Childress for starting it.

Through 4 games, Spencer Petras has 5 touchdowns. If that trend continues, @Verbal, @Callisto, and @thrawn are the dark horses in waiting to make a strong push. The other big factor will be the 15 point bonus for the correct end-of-year record. That will most likely be the deciding factor.

go fuck yourself

go fuck yourself

Did once already. Maybe again tonight.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

15 points, WCF? Are you even fucking trying???????????

talking bucks in here?

 

[Gushawk]

As @Debit One ’s incessant unrequited requests to change his sheet of integrity show, if you’re trying now, it’s too late.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

15 points, WCF? Are you even fucking trying???????????

No, because it's a dumb game.

 

[The Dad]

Brants name is at the top of the 2s, but I take great pleasure in knowing he literally cannot win.

Alphabetical.

 

[Debit One]

My prediction of 24 TDs for Petras was idiotic, but nowhere near as bad as @NightmanCometh who called for 31.

 

[The Dad]

That faggot (brants) is just dumb enough to guess Goodson’s yardage right on the number.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Alphabetical.

@sobrien51 and @The Dad have @brantshawks cock-blocked.

 

[Debit One]

Me, realizing that my ability to best Gus is entirely in the hands of one Spencer Petras.

5o see how not-trying is done, see @KitKatApples. Nicely done.

 

[MikeyJoe]

Despite my well documented position on Spencer Petras, I foolishly considered ~2TDs per game a reasonable benchmark for the QB on a 9 win team.

 

[BngHawk]

I believe a prize needs to be offered for last place.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

To make it worse, of his 5 touchdowns, one was rushing. Yuck.

 

[thrawn]

I was high when I completed my entry, so I didn’t process the possibility of rushing TDs.

[NightmanCometh]

[Thomas Wolsey]

@BuffettHawk is going to have to change L Wades tagline again.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Well, not many changes. @MikeyJoe and @WCFHawkeye are the only 2 posters to move up, each leaping forward a spot.

No one predicted more than 3 touchdowns for Petras, so no one had a perfect week. Petras had 3 TD passes and 2 rushes for 5 touchdowns total, making us all look like idiots.

With 10 touchdowns through 5 games, Petras is also on track for 24 touchdowns for the season, exactly like most people have been saying all along.

Also, it should be noted, if our beloved Hawkeye faithful fan @brantshawks can beat out the other 28 participants, or enough to finish in a tie for first, and Tyler Goodson gets exactly 693 yards over the next 7 games, will own all the tie-breakers. He is in good shape right now, within striking distance of Mr. Childress. However, I hope he loses ground next week (and, I lose also) as hoping Penn State does not secure the victory as predicted.

One person had 0 points for the week, and is bolded.

Here are the standings through Week 5, with total points (50 points max possible):

1. @L. Wade Childress 40

2. @brantshawks 35
2. @Callisto 35
2. @Debit One 35

Next week there will be lots of movement, with 12 posters predicting a Penn State victory, and 17 choosing Iowa.

In the Petras' touchdown category against Pedo State:

0 TD's: 2 people
1 TD: 12 people
2 TD's: 14 people
3 TD's: 1 person

 

[brantshawks]

You forgot to add: "And there is still no way that Brant can win."

 

[Kerky]

WCF are you an accountant or just channeling your inner MikeyJoe?

He gets bored on his walks.

There is one way you can win.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

You forgot to add: "And there is still no way that Brant can win."

I never said that, nor am I emotionally invested, I am just a scorekeeper.

Besides being a Nebrantska fan, you are a winner in my book.

That dirty and frankly unnecessary jab cost you a like, my friend.

Edited the standings post.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

@BuffettHawk is going to have to change L Wades tagline again.

no, once a tagline is assigned to me it becomes self-prophetic. That’s how fucking smart I am, unlike you stupid losers.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

It was a most interesting week, with lots of movement.

9 posters hit the correct combination of an Iowa win, and Spencer "Big Balls" Petras 2 touchdowns. Those 9 are bolded in Green.

7 posters were a bit more off, missing both ends. Those 7 posters are bolded in red.

Of biggest note, @KitKatApples is no longer solo in the cellar, with your truly, @WCFHawkeye keeping him company and stroking his beard (amongst other things). @L. Wade Childress, while still in first, is not alone, and the other 2 brothers are now tied, as one was perfect for the week, and the other was perfect in the opposite direction.

Here are the standings through Week 6, with total points (60 points max possible):


1. @Debit One 45
1. @Gushawk 45
1. @L. Wade Childress 45
1. @Pedro 45

Week 7 will see much less movement, with only 4 predicting a loss to Purdue.

In the Petras' touchdown category against Purdue:

0 TD's: 3 people
1 TD: 10 people
2 TD's: 8 people
3 TD's: 8 person

Lastly, with Tyler Goodson's 101 total yards against Penn State, is on pace for 1354 yards for the season. This projected number is close enough that @brantshawks has a very real shot of winning in a tie-breaking scenario.

[WCFHawkeye]

All kidding aside, I appreciate @Herky823 for creating these games, as no one else is willing to on Halo. Much like the recent football game in Iowa City this weekend, everyone has fun. It makes for a fun diversion, and shows that I absolutely suck at such games, but enjoy them anyway.

*except @brantshawks. Because he can't win

 

[WCFHawkeye]

*except @brantshawks. Because he can't win

But he can. He is within striking distance of being right in the tie-breaker. Assuming I can't win (and it is looking less-than-likely), nothing would be better than Mr. @brantshawks pawning the shit out of his jealous followers and winning the tie-breaker.

 

[sobrien51]

In order for @brantshawks to win Iowa has to lose to Northwestern and he has to get the tiebreaker exactly. @Gushawk has the same TDs the rest of the way and picked a win vs Northwestern.

I'm not a doctor, but that leaves Brant's odds to win ---checks notes-- at exactly 50/50.

So who here wants Brant's to win?

 

[brantshawks]

Not me.

 

[sobrien51]

I want @iowa4ever20 to win. They have 12-0 and the most TDs going forward.

I hope you lose to the smartest person on this message board, @iowa4ever20 !!!

@Hawk_Kegmasters also has 12-0, and the same amount of remaining touchdowns. His planning and research is paying off.
