Title: Vote on Possible rule Change For 2011 Battle For The "Crown"
Post by: AUTailgatingRules on August 13, 2011, 12:34:23 PM
We had some people last year suggest that we change the format on scoring the bonus game. 

In all years past we have added the total for the bonus game to each players score if they choose correctly, while subtracting that same number from the score it they choose wrong.

Some have suggested that we only ADD for correct scores and not subtract for losses. 

A third choice could be a compromise.  Add the points for a correct score and only subtract 1/2 for wrong choices.

Comments and votes are appreciated as this years week 1 games are on the board and ready to go

Happy picking

My opinion has always been that if there is no penalty for wrong choices, why would anyone ever bet anything but a 10 for each bonus game.  i think there has to be a punishment if you are wrong.

The bonus game has fucked my score more than once... But I have to agree with you. Keep it as is.

Agreed.  Has to be a penalty for incorrect choices.  Not just on the bonus game either.  Why wouldn't I pick Vanderbilt over Florida with a 10 if it wouldn't hurt me?

Because Vanderbilt is a God damned power house and you would be stupid to ever bet against them.

Power.  House.

Write it down.  We'll definitely win 2 games this year.

BOOM BITCH!

Don't play the bonus if you don't want to lose points.  I say keep it as is.

It's not just okay.  And it's not just for kids anymore.

After a week of giving my liver a vacation, I poured up a smooth Knob and Coke Classic product last night.  Took in some preseason foosball while I popped Planters Dry Roasted peanuts. 

I'm easy to please.

For the record I am not a hater of a Coke/Pepsi/Sprite product being mixed with bourbon.  Just not with good bourbon.  If you are drinking KY Gentlemen (Jumbo's favorite) then by all means, mix away.  Water is also acceptable.

Or Dickle Dickel? Dick -el?  A couple of years ago, we piled in my buddy's RV and headed up to teh planes.  I forget the circumstances but for some reason, a bottle of Dickel was purchased.  He sold the RV recently.....and when cleaning it out, came across the same bottle...barely used.  All I remember is asking how in the hell did anyone stomach that rot gut.

Wait.......white label?  B/c that and Gentleman Jack are the only two products distilled in TN that I can drink and must admit they are not bad.  I don't like Single Barrel Jack, Dickel black, Jack black nor Honey Jack.

Bookers and Bakers are higher proof, it is going to burn a little more, but it takes a little less.

Dear god, it's awful.  The only thing that really appeals to me from Buffalo Trace Distillery is Eagle Rare.  Outstanding Single Barrel Bourbon for the price.  It's cheaper than Makers Mark and it just as tasty. 

I would like to try Elmer T Lee and George T Stagg from there.

Had some Bakers up in Sheecargo a few months back....and yes..it was just over ice.  Muuuuch mo smoov than Bookers.  Your "Dear God, it's awful" quote is the only thing that comes to mind.

Agree, I like teh Bakers better.  Aubie16 will jump in later to scorn us for not giving Bookers love.  I can drink Bookers and it's not that bad to me, but not for that price.

Speaking of tasty alky-hall.  I had some Woodford Reserve last night.  MMMMM, Delicious!

I am thinking about venturing out and picking up a bottle of something different for a change. 

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh......you need to get a bottle of Elijah Craig Single Barrel.  18 years in the barrel my friend.  Smooth as silk and fine a frog hair.  It's  expensive though.

I have talked with Mr. Craig a couple of times in the past. Nice guy but he does charge a little too much for the consultation.  Cannot go wrong with Woodford.  Sweet and smooooov

I have heard the small batch and single barrel are good, but I think I will pass since their flagship bourbon is so shitty.

Something like that, it's been so long since he explained it to us, plus we were buzzed.  I remember him saying it was unique.  There is a standard that is universally understood by all and something about 5 or 6 major dialects.  It almost became extinct from French and Spanish influence that was huge in the region.

I love the Woodford, it's my staple bourbon.

Another tasty drank is Basil Hayden's. Nice and smooth sippin' bourbon.

I'll have to check out the Elijah Craig next time the Stimulus Checks come out...

Those are the fuckers that keep blowing shit up in the other areas of Spain.  And when they aren't doing that they blow each other up. 
Actually kind of like the South.  We are gonna fight and if we have nobody to fight with then we fight each other.

In summation, it looks as though the peeps have spoken and the rules for the BFTC bonus game will remain the same.  Any wrong choices will be deducted from each players score.

Oh, and we all love bourbon

Basil Hayden's is another from the Jim Beam small batch.  Real smooth and pricy.  Uses a bit more Rye than the others which gives it a unique flavor.  Also a hint of honey in each drink.   Speaking of which, I have a bottle in the cabinet that needs to be opened.

You know, there's some truth to this.  My best friend...um, after all you guys, of course....just doesn't understand the fine nuances of a good burrbinz.  If he does anything in the burrbinz family, it's Crown and gawldamn Diet Pepsi.  But then, the man drinks mostly Michelob Ultra.  Whenever he pops one of those tasteless bastards, I ask for a sweet tea or something.  I'm like, if you're not drinking, I'm not drinking alone.
