For all you sports gamblers,
The Rose Bowl is approaching and I know there has been a tad bit of controversay on who will win: USC or TEXAS. Recent post activity in Svtpeformance's Rose Bowl thread have become pretty heated with many members leaning towards Texas.

Here

I was thinking about a contest....

Here are the rules:

1. You can only make one post with your guess as to what the score will be at the end of the game with who will win. (So think really hard before posting!)

2. No copy-cat guesses.

3.No editing your posts either guys!!!

4. Guesses will be received up to the day of the game so that gives you just over two weeks.

5. Only one prize will be awarded to the person who predicts the right team to win and has the closest prediction on the score.

6. Absolutely NO bashing on other members' guesses. I mean it guys.... I just want posts of guesses please so it will help me keep track of the bets.

I hope this will be clean without TOO MUCH bs and crap talking or then the post will be ruined and the contest will have to end.

I will be buying the prize this weekend and keeping track of your bets as they come.

Good luck and may the best guy/gal win [patriot]

45-17 USC wins

Posted by MustyTang (Member # 896) on :

Quick question....What qualifies as predicting the closest score? Are you taking the total amount of points?

For example:

42-17 is the final score

Someone predicts 42-13 (This one was only off by 4 on the losing sides points)

Another predicts 45-13 (This one is a little off on both scores and is 1 less than the total points scored in the game)

Another predicts 30-29 (This one is totally off on both scores, but he/she has the same total points scored in the game)

Who would win in the above situations?

Posted by SpdDevl (Member # 1587) on :

What I'm looking for is more OPTION A where the score at the end of the game will be compared to everyone's estimates and the closest prediction to the end score for BOTH teams will win the prize. No combined points will be necessary here. I hope that clears up the confusion!

31-16 USC. There is NO WAY Texas will win. Vince Young is not that great of a QB and they haven't played anyone this year. Look at USC, they has played everyone and TROUNCED #4 Oregan (45-13) and #11 UCLA (66-19)

LMAO ..... he got 200 rushing yards and 165 passing yards and got the winning touchdown.... so yea i think hes pretty good..

Posted by Apexmotorsports (Member # 5307) on :

Yup... I am eating my words [Razz]

....

hahahaha

Great performance by a great athelete and team.

Posted by crazyhorse (Member # 5662) on :

i think everyone thought they were gonna pass on the last play so when Young ran to the endzone, he caught everyone by surprise. Hell of a game!

Posted by MustyTang (Member # 896) on :

Great game...

But I think the media needs to relax on calling Vince Young the greatest college player ever.

Posted by 1FAST93COBRA (Member # 4756) on :

Texas. [Whoo Whooooo!]

Posted by boostin1.8 (Member # 868) on :

Well I think the refs made some bad calls in that game.. Especially on the nice lateral when his knee was down that went for a TD. Was a great game though!

Posted by cdog301 (Member # 5136) on :

USC should have won that game(turnovers) but the QB from Texas was off the hook they could not stop him all night!
