Thanks db for the explanation as to how this will work. Just make sure everyone has a clear understanding to how these boxes work so there is no confusion. I want my one going towards the box. Thanks muggy and good luck everyone!

<< <i>line is 2.5 to 3 across the board. It will be 1 to 2.5 by gametime. >>
Looks like all the large casinos in Vegas are 3. I don't see 2.5. That's a HUGE difference. Guess it dropped 1/2 point from opening up. >>
some of the big offshore spots have it at 2.5 . Take a look at the money line at most of the -3 places at the casinos, the +100 and +105 means that if you take the Pats -3 you are getting odds on the money. If you take the Giants +3 you have to lay anywhere from 120 to 135. What that means is that it is just one big bet away from going to 2.5. It will certainly go there before gametime with all of the Giants homers out there.

Thanks to Gumby for helping me convert this from Excel to a Jpeg. I need to work on figuring that out. This should be good enough for the squares I think. If anything needs to be changed let me know. I'll get to working on updating the list for this pool, and Muggy's psycho mania! lol...
This is a test where you answer the question, before it happens. Do you know the answer to these?

GreatI can't wait. Any chance we can get the exam by Sat or Sun, I'm going to be traveling all next week and want to have some time over the weekend to fill it out in time by Sun morning.
I hope I at least get in to Muggyman U, even if it's not with a full ride.

The one I posted is also three pages, but you can email yours to me at jeffcolburn@gmail.com and I'll replace that one with yours. Yours probably fills the pages better.
The only thing that I will need help on is maintaining the current/running (until next Friday's deadline) entry list within this thread. miconelegacy is leading the charge on that, thank you! I have a family affair this weekend and blah, blah, blah I'm very busy and will be off CU most of the (work)days next week.
Mike, for easier distribution before game day, it would be very helpful if the list contained email addresses of all the final exam test takers.
rtimmer silly, it is 25 FM. Muggyman University Funny Money. This exam fee also includes free drinks and appetizers for the big game - a week from today!
Pats are gonna crush em, you say? NYG all the way, baby?!
You don't know nuddin. Really!

Now I'll need to get a couple of boxes to stop Jeff from going on a ripping rampage. I might be able to reason with him to spare the star packs at least.

I know it's not due yet, it just seems like forever. I feel bad for even complaining because I know some people have had subs out since the Nixon administration.
question received... <<Does question #7 in the T/F section mean only fumbles lost, or all fumbles?>> (True or False) 7. There will be more interceptions than fumbles (combined)
BIGGESTBEN7, I will be negotiating us the best deal for sure - it is still a work in progress. As it stands, if we get the 100 boxes filled for 2,500FM, we will earn 2,800FM to spend at BBCE. I am hoping everyone understands what FM is. Then, say we get 10 exam takers @ 25FM (250FM), we will be getting 300FM at BBCE plus at least 50FM from my personal collection. If we don't do the BOXES, maybe more people will take the exam and we'll just get at least 10% surplus at BBCE.
In summary... I rarely organize these things, but I did the 2 playoff games last week at the last minute and people loved it. So, I simply steamrolled it into this for the biggest game of the year. I am very busy with many things (mostly good) right now and I have to focus my attention elsewhere. I don't even gamble, so I was just taking charge and creating fun and interest in the game with fellow collectors that I have no idea what they look like. And then hopefully go on a shopping spree at BBCE, or watch others do so.
Ok, so... we have 29/100 spots taken (71 left @ 25 FM) for the BOXES. It kind of fizzled a little but, if people step up and the list grows - we'll do it. Otherwise, I want to give Steve a courtesy call and fill him in that we are gonna just do the exam for a lot less FM'age. And, I am going to have to limit entries and close it ASAP because I don't have time to grade them all.
Also, can I have a list of 5 people that won't participate in the exam? I hate tests too, but I just want to make sure people are reading this. No need for an explanation, I am just curious to see who has no interest in Muggyman U participation even if we don't do the 100 spot BOXES format?
The next responses are pivotal towards my participation and efforts.
Thanks ssollars! Ok, I will change the title of the thread but we were trying to be sensitive to SuperBowl events. --------------------------------------------------------------- 100 BOXES, no maximum entries @ 25FM. FM = Funny Money. FM translates to BBCE shopping spree...
If we can't fill 100 squares, just make them 12.5 FM and give each of the first 50 entries twice the squares they otherwise would have gotten.
