One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
--Albert Einstein
The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

Whelp I was really, really wrong. Never felt better about it.

Screw all of you guys who picked the ducks.

Happy to be so wrong.
This is the winner. Right?

Not enough fire power...what was I thinking?Oregon 31 Utah 24. I don't believe our offense has enough fire power, and no easy special teams touchdowns this week.Hope I am wrong.

I just wish we still had Kalani Sitake because, you know, he's such a defensive genius, and Whit never gave him any opportunities and just used him and took all the credit.

Seriously, I know cougjunkie accuses me of knowing nothing about sports, even though I see the future a lot more often than he does. I know a lot about discrete subjects. I've lived and died with the Utes since I was six; I've seen their darkest days, which is why I appreciate Kyle so much. And here in Seattle I know more about these two teams -- the Duck and the Utes -- and Kyle Whittingham's character -- the combination of these arcane facts -- than maybe anyone. Nothing about tonight surprised me. And I'm very happy for Travis. There's no cliché that's more true than Rome wasn't built in a day. I look forward to following his NFL career, which I've anticipated for years, the record will show. Have we ever had a tougher player than that kid? I love Travis. I really do.

I think you were just being rational and basing your prediction on what we had all seen up to that point. No one expected what happened tonight. There are thousands of surprised Utes fans tonight. (Delighted but surprised.)

No one knew what Utah had in its playbook because, as Ma'ake notes, they didn't show it until tonight. That's one of the coolest things about the Oregon win. You intuited correctly, for which you deserve props.

SeattleUte I'm gonna tell you what Hostile told me after I predicted the Michigan game score.
Who gives a second shit what Cougjunkie thinks, besides you? Dude is crazy as a shithouse rat.Nice shot kid.
Don't get cocky.
I will gladly continue to throw this competition if the football gods require that sacrifice of me for the good of the Utes.

This would hurt except I have never been so thrilled to be so wrong
Can someone explain to me how this matrix works? I can't figure out how SU and Wally had the same points but had significantly different predictions.

Wally:
+34 --> Picked winning team (all or nothing).
+0 --> Utah score prediction was off by 20+ so he doesn't get any points as there is a reduction of 5% for each number off (33 x .00).
+26.4 --> Oregon score was off by 4, so his points are reduce by 20% (33 x .8)
= 60.4 total
SeattleUte
+34 --> Picked winning team (all or nothing)
+4.95 --> Utah score prediction was off by 17, so his points are reduced by 85% (33 x .15)
+21.45 --> Oregon score was off by 7, so his points are reduced by 35% (33 x .65)

Bro, don't hate the player, hate the game. Also, don't question authority.
