Lasagna Cat



How in the heck have we gone eleven years on this blog and not had Lasagna Cat? I love Lasagna Cat. It is impossible that this has happened.



What is the point of this website? What are we even doing here.

Freedoom

For our readers who lack a modern gaming console, you can get a free version of Doom called, you guessed it, Freedoom. You know your least favorite levels from Doom and Doom II? What if you could get a game that was mostly those, without the personality of the original game? You can!

very special "hey why not here's another score board" edition 2018 3E bowl pick them score board

How about that, huh. Three (E) Peat baby.

The seven power points you could potentially make up in The Game That Didn't Happen can't save you. Don't even try to tell me it could save you.

This is the most ever losses by a winner. It is the fewest wins by a winner and worst win pct in agreed games since 2010. These are the two lowest confidence point %s ever. These are things you shouldn't put on a CV.

tie breakers by tha captain

these could be wrong... but they just might be right!

1. first td: alabama this is a no brainer
2. first fg: clemson?
3. first recovered fumble: alabama this is a brainer
4. first defense to intercept: you would think it would be the defense going against the freshman qb but no. tuba will get cocky. clemson
5. leading at half time: alabama

digit sum: 15 seems like a 30something to 30something type affair and the second digits should have an expected value of like 4.5 each.

tiebreakers part dos

1. The first team to score a touchdown: ALABAMA
2. The first team to kick a field goal: CLEMSON
3. The first team to recover an opponent's fumble: ALABAMA
4. The first team to intercept an opponent's pass: ALABAMA
5. The team which will be leading at halftime: ALABAMA

ULTRA TIEBREAKER: 15

TIEBREAKERS?

Tentative tiebreaker list, relevant to the college football national title game between teams-which-shall-not-be-named.

1. The first team to score a touchdown
2. The first team to kick a field goal
3. The first team to recover an opponent's fumble
4. The first team to intercept an opponent's pass
5. The team which will be leading at halftime

ULTRA TIEBREAKER: The total of all numbers in the final score, added together; thus, a score of 14-20 would be a total of 7 (seven).

Very Special "A Father's Work Is Never Done" Edition 2018 3E Bowl Pick Them Score Board

Look, I don't have a lot of time.

Charlemagne:
20-13 (8-6)
387/616, 62.8%
LPM: 60

Captainmagne:
18-15 (6-8)
376/630, 59.7%
LPM: 31

5 games left, 32 possible outcomes.
  • 8 outcomes where Iowa and Ohio St. win. I would win confidence and the w/l would go to our undetermined tiebreaker. The results of the other three games would not matter. 
  • 4 outcomes where Mississippi St., UCF, and Ohio St. win. I would win confidence and you would win w/l. The beloved split. The results of the other two games would not matter*.
  • The remaining 20 outcomes would result in you winning both portions.
So, the Kentucky-PSU and Georgia-Texas games have no effect on either part of the pick them*. If Washington beats Ohio St., you win both portions regardless of all other games. You can clinch both parts before that if Mississippi St. and LSU win.

*The Curse of the 1st Responders Bowl: We agreed on the result of this wayward game (Boise over BC), but you had 7 more points riding on it. So, any outcome today where I win confidence by 7 or fewer points could potentially be overturned if we decided to determine the winner of a game that didn't happen. There are 2 such outcomes: those where Mississippi St., UCF, Ohio St. and Georgia win. The poor Kentucky-PSU game still wouldn't matter.

EXTREMELY Very Special "Totally Ready For This" Edition 2018 3E Bowl Pick Them Score Board

Last 'board for a while I reckon. Because of baby.

Very Special "Ted 'Cherry' Bundy" Edition 2018 3E Bowl Pick Them Score Board

I'm going to tweet "Ted 'Frisco' Bundy" during tonight's game.

Ok, so I'm not going to make a 'board every day and I'm probably going to change the picture eventually (maybe). But excellence deserves recognition! As far as I can tell through a minimally rigorous investigation, 6-0 is the best ever start to a Pick Them. We are all witnesses.


Hoo baby, that's a hot tamale.

And I think if there's one thing that sports and perhaps life in general teaches us is that it is always good to get way, way ahead of yourself. As the old saying goes, "You'll have exactly as many chickens as you have un-hatched eggs."

So in that spirit, let's recall all the records (previously labeled "unbreakable" by the liberal, Soros-backed media) that are 100% sure to be absolutely demolished this year:
  • Most Total Wins: 26 (Charles 2012)
  • Fewest Total Losses: 9 (Charles 2012)
  • Total Win Pct: 74.3% (Charles 2012)
  • Margin of Victory: 7 games (Charles 2012)
  • Most CRISIS Wins: 12 (Charles 2012)
  • Fewest CRISIS Losses: 2 (Charles 2009)
  • CRISIS Win Pct: 75.0% (Charles 2015)
  • Highest Confidence Point Pct: 69.4% (Wes 2016)
  • Most Confidence Points: 569 (Wes 2016)
  • Largest Confidence Margin: 61 (Wes 2016)
And probably more! What a time to be alive.

Very Special "The First One's Free" Edition 3E Bowl Pick Them 2018 Score Board

This could get ugly!

At no point last year did you win 5 games in a row and you only did it once the year before that. Congratulations to "Chalk" Roberts!

LPM is "Largest Possible Margin," i.e. the largest confidence margin by which you can win. When it gets to zero... well, just trust me you don't want that to happen!!



You will notice that the POWER FACTOR no longer has a presenting sponsor. Thanks Obama.

For reffy ref (reference), the POWER FACTOR after Day 1 last year was C+.004. So this is significantly larger than that.
