IWS #232: College Football 2015
Responses due by 6 PM, Sunday, August 23rd
The Rules The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game's, and indeed our very community's, most cherished and beloved progenitors and inspirational leaders, and also QuikSand. May we never lose our commitment to reverently speak their names and heartily toast their greatness. The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. For the mathematically challenged, product means they are multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins. Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. There are no prizes other than everlasting glory and total consciousness on your deathbed, so the need to cheat shouldn't be an issue. All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring even the most trivial degree of judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions. I summarily reject any suggestion of this structure as evidence of any personal character flaw. Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However... Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "What is the proper way to drink your coffee?", and you answer, "Cream and Sugar", along with 9 other people, you each score 10 points, even though the correct answer is "Black." You will also be forever scorned for suggesting that coffee should be tainted with any foreign products.
Spoiler
1) Stupid is reading the pre-season college football prognosticators and thinks "Geez this team is really being overrated!" What team is he reading about? 2) Who does he feel is being underrated? 3) Stupid can travel to any college stadium for a game. Where does stupid choose to go? 4) Stupid almost chose to go to this stadium but then thought to himself... "That is a pretty rabid fanbase. I might not make it out of that stadium alive." Where was stupid thinking about going? 5) Who does stupid feel is the best coach in college football right now? 6) Stupid's wife picks up the magazine stupid is reading and says "I really like that team's uniforms!" What team is she looking at? PM me with answers by this Sunday. |

I don't think there are any rules saying you can't change your answers before the deadline...

Hope to get the results out today. Work stuff came all at once and without the spreadsheet tabulation actually requires some work. Have about 2/3 of the entries in and will probably get the rest done during the staff meeting this morning.
