Many of you know that Coach34 and Brutius placed a bet earlier this season. The bet revolved around who would finish higher in total offense this year, Michigan or MSU. As you might expect, Coach took Michigan. The stakes of the bet were high - the loser would have to leave Six Pack Speak.
So as not to clog the board with all the posts from the original thread and the update thread, I will provide the links.
This is where it started. The problem with this thread is that for some reason all of Coach's replies are mysteriously gone. Have been for a while now. It was filled with all the things you might expect. Name calling, cursing, and finally, an internet bet.
Here are updates throughout the year. Brutius jumped out to a big lead early, but Croom eventually brought him back to the pack. Coach used some big Michigan days to surge to the lead through last week.
Yesterday, things changed more drastically than most expected, leaving Brutius on the cusp of history. Ohio State stonewalled Michigan to the tune of 198 yards, giving the Wolverines a total of 290.75 yards per game, or a total of 3,489 yards. Mississippi State sliced and diced the Hogs for 445 big yards, taking their 11-game total to 297.73 ypg, or a total of 3,275. This leaves Brutius 214 yards behind Coach with one game to play.
For several weeks it has been suspected that the outcome of this bet would be settled in Oxford. What was not expected was the small number of yards Mississippi State would have to earn to put Brutius over the top. With a mere 215 yards, Brutius will claim victory.
(In post buy/sell, if he loses, Coach will live up to his word. Sell. Big time. Buying him getting a new user name like Coach35 or something like that.)
