Hubbarrister's Still Humbled Week 4 High School Pick-em Contest

[lamarrebel]

I am starting my fourth High School pick-em contest with a $20,000 hubbuck prize. I am going to post 20 games, and whoever wishes to play must copy and paste my list of games in their replies with their predicted winners. The deadline to reply is 6:30 p.m. Friday evening. Whoever picks the most winners, wins the prize. If two or more people have the same number of winners, I have included a tie breaker.

Rules:

1. If you have more than $500K, you are free to play, but all you will win is bragging rights. The second place winner will take the $20K, so long as they meet this criteria (or third place and so on). This is designed for our less fortunate members.

2. Everyone be nice, this week. Please follow the above instructions in making your picks (it makes it easier for me to tabulate the results)

3. EddieD, you are free to play and win again, but you might want to post your picks at 6:29 Friday evening..lol.

4. If someone (i.e. wilebill, somisstv, etc) wishes to "one-up" my prize, please start a separate thread with different games.

Here goes:

1. Oak Grove v. Brandon
2. Hattiesburg v. Forest Hill
3. Wingfield v. Natchez
4. Sumrall v. Purvis
5. Petal v. West Jones
6. Wayne County v. Laurel
7. South Jones v. Northeast Jones
8. Forrest County AHS v. St Martin

EddieD,

It's OK with me if you want to steal my picks. Heck, you can even use my tiebreaker. :)

[EddieD]

Zorro, I have given your picks a once over, not bad, we have 3 or 4 different but those are either way games. It looks like I am going to the Moss Point/George Co. game so I might not get my picks in anyway. Good Luck!

wow...630 and only 9 picks....EddieD even went on sabbatical!

Tell everyone what, I'll keep the game picks open until 7:00 p.m. since the first games don't kick-off until then...

[lamarrebel]

well...7 o'clock...I'm off to Purvis v Sumrall tonight...have fun!

[kevin]

good maybe I can take it ???I'm hubbucks poor

[lamarrebel]

Sumrall 35 Purvis 21
Oak Grove 21 Brandon 15

and in a SHOCKER:
Forest Hill 12, Hattiesburg 7 -- wonder if the False Prophet of Mt. Carmel will be calling for a coaching change over this one?

[Conveyor Belt]

HA!!! I called that hattieburg Forest Hill game!!! I won some Money on that one!!!

The Petal/WJ game was a good game, but those cheerleaders are STINGY with those footballs!!! 1/2 the touchdowns they didn't throw ANYTHING!!!

[EddieD]

George Co. 14 Moss Point 13
George Co. 5 turnovers in first half and trailed 13-0, came back and won. George Co. has a good football team, could be them and Oak Grove down the road.

[lamarrebel]

C-belt, I have to admit I was shocked by that one...looks like HHS quit playing after scoring the first TD against Oak Grove last week.

Here's some other scores I've found:

Kossuth 7 Corinth 6
Lafayette County 29, Oxford 28 OT -- my wife a LCHS grad will be proud!
Vaardaman 22, East Webter 20 OT
Calhoun City 13 Bruce 7

[lamarrebel]

Kosciusko 21, NE Lauderdale 14
Terry 10, McComb 10
NW Rankin 23, Madison Central 20
Wingfield 14, Natchez 13 (two Jackson Public school upsets tonight)

and in the Loser's Bowl: North Pontotoc 15, Alcorn Central 0!

[lamarrebel]

I've been out campaigning for a friend of mine this morning and out at USM, but I'll settle this either tonight or tomorrow. I've kept 30K on hand to pay-off, just in case my vbookie bets don't pan out as well.

[lamarrebel]

Ok..our results:

Alworth 17-3
JMB 15-5
Zorro 14-6
Thelivinglegend 13-7
Kitty 13-7
Bahlk 13-7
Kevin 12-8

Congrats new member Allworth!!! Sure you aren't EddieD's alias?? :smt102 :smt118

[Conveyor Belt]

hey, I think I deserve something for being the only one to pick Forest Hill over Hattiesburg...

[zorro]

hey, I think I deserve something for being the only one to pick Forest Hill over Hattiesburg...
But you finished tied for last place! That Forrest Hill pick kept you out of sole last place! :smt118

[lamarrebel]

Actually, I'm not going to pay this one out until Allworth comes back on here -- he has only 3 posts. It seems only fair to make him come forward to claim his prize. Also, Aaron, if allworth is an alias lplease et me know (I don't care to know whose alias, just whether the name is one).

If I don't hear from Allworth in 3 days, I'll simply pay out the prize to our most esteemed second place finisher jmb.

[zorro]

by the way I like alworth's avatar, one of my favorite players.
Hmmmm..... :smt102

[Conveyor Belt]

Why don't you just give it to the winner, like you said you were...

Man, you are gearing up to be a politician, aren't you!

[lamarrebel]

Like I said, when he shows back up, I'll pay up...but I simply want the money to go to someone who'll use it for vbookie, username options or whatever.

[wilebill]

Like I said, when he shows back up, I'll pay up...but I simply want the money to go to someone who'll use it for vbookie, username options or whatever.That wasn't in the original rules you spelled out.

And you wonder why people pick on you. :smt070

[lamarrebel]

Well, unfortunately, these games are still a work in progress...so I have to make changes just to make sure people don't try to find loopholes in the process.

[fuzzis]

Considering you're the worst abuser of the alias system, it might be charitable to not ascribe your own motivations to others. :smt102

fuzzis

[Conveyor Belt]

I know it doesn't mean much, but I'm not going to participate in this anymore if you won't do what you outlined in your rules.

[wilebill]

I'm anxious to see if aaron feels obligated to give out the info that hubba requested. That could open up a whole 'nother can of worms.

[Conveyor Belt]

I have faith that aaron will not do this. I think we've broached this subject in the past a few times, and the answer was always to maintain the integrity of the system. If someone wants to out themselves, they can, but someone can't do it for them... in fact, didn't someone get banned, or almost banned for doing something similar? Threads were deleted, women cried, men shook in their boots.

[SoMissTV]

I actually cried in my boots.

[Conveyor Belt]

I shook as my boots were deleted.

[SoMissTV]

I shook as my boots were deleted.

I deleted as my shook were boots.

[lamarrebel]

Folks, if you will read my post, I only asked if the name in question was an alias, not whose alias it is. That hardly violates anyone's sense of hub-privacy.

My major concern with this "Allworth" is that he's made only 3 posts and the last post he made were his picks made Friday. There are a lot of people who show up here and make a handful of posts and never come back. I simply don't want to give $20K to someone and it never be used. I do not believe I am being unreasonable in simply requesting he/she show up and claim their prize.

Finally, this is my game, I'm the one giving away the hubbucks and I'll make the rules. And I'm not going to back down on my position just because some of you don't like it. And my decision is final. Allworth can show up by Wedesday, or I'll give the 20K to JMB the 2nd place winner. Either way, I'm not pocketing the prize.

[wilebill]

What a weasel.

So...you get to decide what your wife gets to do with the gifts you give her? (I don't see her using the donations you've given her) That's the same line of reasoning. :roll:

You set the parameters...you don't get to change them because you don't know or like who won.

Heck, if you don't like it, you give Allworth the 20K.

fuzzis

[lamarrebel]

Actually fuzzis, at my urging, she bet on the attendance yesterday and has done numerous of the upgradings on her username at the like, just as you, I and numerous others have.

I have nothing personal against Allworth, and he might not be an alias at all. I don't even know the guy. And if an established user, like you, who likes to bash me on a regular basis, had won the game, I would have paid you without complaints.

We can sit here and hash this all night, but it's not going to change my decision.

[wilebill]

How can anybody take anything you say seriously? You give a long list of rules, everybody abides by them, I quit giving you grief over it because it was sorta admirable, and then you change the rules, welch on a promise, and ask for priveleged insider info to make a decision. What does it matter if Allworth is an alias, a newbie, or a fricken 3 eyed alien?

[lamarrebel]

I've already given all of my money away...and I'm not the one who set myself up as an Indian-giver.

I believe any objective analysis of your positions on public issues would show that you are a liberal, in the sense that it is commonly thought of in contemporary political debate. Heck, you don't even see the purpose in marriage! I apologize if you've never said you were a liberal, but any reading of your posts clearly shows you are.

Don't I remember someone posting in the "Shortest Books" thread that your entry was "Conservative Thoughts" by Fuzzis :smt102 . And of course, like a true liberal you've dodged the question.

I think that folks of your ilk accused John Kerry of flip-flopping for that kind of response. :smt042

I was unaware that I answered to you and that I had a responsibility to respond to every post that calls me out by name. I sorta thought that thread was a joke, but apparently you take it way too seriously. :smt042

I have said before that I have some rather libertarian leanings, and there are actually several issues where I think conservatively. But I have no need to explain such things to a self-important karaoke king who can't even begin to see past labels.

fuzzis

[lamarrebel]

I'll admit I'm interested in your conservative views, because in the year plus that you've been here, I've never seen them.

I've never described myself as a karaoke king, though on rare occasion I enjoy singing as a matter of fun and comic stress relief. And whatever
"self-importance" I have, my wife brings down to earth very quickly.

[wilebill]

The 2 rep comments I got seem sort of odd. It seems that 2 people were trying to gang up on me but one got it wrong. rebelrouser05 hardly ever posts but for some reason decided to come here tonight just to rep my post. How odd.

[wilebill]

Oh, and now I noticed that rebelrouser05 also decided to give a positive rep to hubba, to sorta counteract the negative rep I gave him. Which I only did after he neg repped me. How odd. And coincidental.

[wilebill]

Nah, he meant to ding you but apparently wasn't wise enough to change the default rep setting when it popped up.That's what I was referring to when I said one of them got it wrong.

[wilebill]

I think I'll start a thread about the ethics of repping...

[wilebill]

Ya'll don't suppose Hubba wants to get in a rep war do ya? For a guy with such a big trap, his rep is woefully lacking. :-DHe started a rep war, called in the reinforcements, and still got a butt kicking, while still using weaponry illegal under the Geneva Convention, not to mention unethical.

And who hollers firstest and loudest when noway is a little late paying out vbookie? :smt102 Hell, there's whole threads about it.

:zelfmoord

[Conveyor Belt]

WTF, barrister... I'm now starting to believe everything everyone says about you when you're not around. I wanted to give you the benifit of the doubt, but you blew that one... You truly are what everyone says you are.

[Kitty]

. . .this is my game, I'm the one giving away the hubbucks and I'll make the rules. And I'm not going to back down on my position just because some of you don't like it. And my decision is final.

Hubba, I enjoy participating in the weekly high school "pick-em" contests, and as you have stated, it is "your" game.

However, you have changed the game rules after-the-fact, which does make you look like a hypocrite, particularly since the reason for the rules change centers around your resistance to award the hubbucks prize to a perceived user of a board alias.

We all use a board alias. How do we really know that the MH community isn't just a handful of people with multiple board aliases?

The credible thing for you to do would be to award the hubbucks to Alworth, and cover all the bases on the front end in the rules for "your" next game.

[Allworth]

hey, I was just out of town this weekend, away from the computer.

[lamarrebel]

Allworth, welcome back to the thread, and I am happy to send your prize. Congratulations!

[Conveyor Belt]

something smells...

[wilebill]

He didn't ask if Allworth is an alias. I thought that was part of the new rules.

[lamarrebel]

Like I said, when he shows back up, I'll pay up...


What smells about that? He showed up and I paid it out. I did what I said I would do, so let's close this.

[carsalesguy]

aaron........bandwidth!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlphaMale]

I don't understand why he had to show up to get his reward.
He kicked everybody's butt in the contest.

[wilebill]

I don't understand why he had to show up to get his reward.
He kicked everybody's butt in the contest.It's hubba's idea of a shell game. "Watch the shell closely. Which one has today's rules under it? This one? Nope, wrong again."

[Biggie]

Dude, you pull that on the streets and its ON.
Man, you don't hold the brothers money if he wins.

Now Allworth, you know how to shoot dice?

[Allworth]

Biggie, I may need to give dice a shot. I am on a roll.

[EddieD]

Allworth I hope you enjoy your brief celebration. I didn't have time to submit my picks last week but no doubt I'll be back on top where I belong next week at this time.

And to you Hub, I'm often immitated but never duplicated.
