    I saw this thread and immediately thought "30-17." Just to shake it up I'll go with 31-17.

    I started strong but Scratch is still cheating.

There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    Can I submit my picks directly to the Official Scorer so that LA can't just copy me?

    It'll be close until late in the third, early fourth, when Utah's depth will start to have an impact. Utah pulls away, BYU scores a late, meaningless moral TD at the end.

    You have to pick your own distinct score, Mr. Passive-Aggressive.
    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.

    I never look at anyone else's predictions before I make my own. What happened? Did you predict that score?

    Of course I have no prediction for this game (see what I mean).

    You need to see what others predict to do this right.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
