Who is starting the game thread this weekend?

by **Turtleneck** 2020-10-19, 15:01

Some of you still refuse to believe, but a successful season depends as much on good game threads as it does the play on the field. If the wrong person starts the game thread, the outcome of that game is already determined. Maybe the best way to do this is democratically, and let the people decide rather than just letting somebody take it upon themselves. Please vote.

You’re counting the Perles forfeits against me? That’s messed up, bro.

Steve and Cam have the same record. Steve will start it and jinx us from the get go.

Steve is a complicated case. In his two wins, he started the game thread, but somebody else had to start a 2nd half thread to get the win. This year we might have to start keeping stats for "saves."

But the person who gets the most votes starts the game thread. If it's not Steve and he starts one, well, that is pretty shameful behavior.

I hope you made up those records.

I would just like to say that three of my five wins were against ranked opponents where MSU was an underdog. I could bump the game day jerk off thread but I’ve matured a little. This is chess not checkers.

Kingston making a pretty strong case.

My record is better than that.

It's not, Steve. It's really not. Face it. The universe doesn't like you starting game threads, and if it wasn't for a couple good people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the program, you would be 0-11.

One of the bots deployed on the board searches for game threads and compiles records. The records are kept in a spreadsheet that has public access.

I still think that we should each have our own game thread where we exclusively post. Anyone posting in someone else’s game thread will be dealt with harshly and swiftly

Can anyone cut and paste Spartan Rocky's previews over here? I might have 15 hours to kill this week and looking for something to read.

Those records are fake news. If you can find one single solitary game thread I've ever started for any sport, ban steve for a month.

It’s been my experience that the one person who uses that term the most only claims fake news when something is truthful and damaging to him. Therefore, I now believe your record and do not believe you.

tl:dr Cam is hiding something

Matty, this is very important. If we want that 'ship, we need to beat Rutgers buddy.

If we end up with a 16 way tie I'll start it.

Steve has a small lead. You really gonna let this happen?

You can see the list of threads I started as soon as the IRS is done auditing me, but I doubt you'd be able to understand it. Posters at my level have very complex posting histories.

I voted Cam

I'm not a star, I'm a glue guy. A role player who plays within himself. I don't chase glory, because I know my strengths and weaknesses.

I voted for OTPT.

If I'm gonna start a game thread, I'm gonna take a big swing. It's gotta be a more significant match up.

Hey. I'm fucking 1-0. For all of you non-mathematicians and non-statisticians, that's 100%.

What better time for a debut? Give me this one fellas. My Xbox name is Mel Tucker for fuck's sake

I'm voting LWS. He's due.

LWS is due. No way he loses this weekend. Statistically impossible. Not a bad place to put your vote.

But, Wakefield doesn't know the difference between ceviche and seafood soup. Likely prefers Manhattan over Boston clam chowder.
