With the recent loss of his computer, decreased morale after frustrating losses in
both Louisville football and basketball…one could say that this contest is a “must-win” for Mike Rutherford…

I thought you were going to vote for Swop?
by sarasota-card on Feb 1, 2010 12:30 PM EST up reply actions
Really? In that case, I also think you should change #6 to 10.
I hear Edgar had two bowls of Wheaties this morning.
by sarasota-card on Feb 1, 2010 3:36 PM EST up reply actions
That would give Sosa at least 30...
which means Swop would have to score at least 31 to be the high scorer of the night….I just don’t think Swop has it in him…I’ll go 9 for #6 – giving Sosa 27, that way Swop only needs to put up 28….that sounds more realistic…

I feel like that Chris Farley character (or all his characters) for SNL. ‘GOD I’M SO STUPID. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!’ Mike’s gonna have to spend a whole evening deciphering our answers…
Maddie in Portland, Oregon
Mike
I also play such games via the SB Nation Trail Blazers site. They have something set up via a computer program that takes info and processes everything.
Maddie in Portland, Oregon
I don't know how they do this
but I thought it might make things easier when you tally up the results. You do so much for us CCers I thought you might want a way to simplify things. They (Blazers Edge) seem like good guys and do e-mail back if you want to get in touch with them. Love the idea Mike. Thanks for the great work!
