BP donations based on the tOSU-Akron game Sept 3rd

In order to make some fundraising for BP a successful and even a fun event, we will have a thread like this for most games this fall. Before the game, posters may commit to a donation amount for BP based on particular performance aspects of the tOSU football team. vCash will be given in the same amounts as in the Spring Drive (v10,000 from BP and the same from me), but these vCash amounts can be multiplied based on a poster making successful predictions about what will happen during the game.

To donate, just pick an amount in one or more of these categories (or just create your own) for the Akron game, make your predictions in that same post, thanks for supporting BP, and enjoy the game and your vCash!

Donation Categories (these are all just for the Akron game):
20 cents, 30 cents, 50 cents, or $1 cash for each point that tOSU scores

$2, $3, or $5 for each touchdown that tOSU scores

3 cents, 5 cents, or 10 cents cash for each yard of total offense for tOSU or a specific player you name.

3 cents, 5 cents, or 10 cents cash for each net rushing yard for tOSU.

Chances to Multiply your vCash (each correct entry will increase your total by your original amount):
1. Name who scores tOSU's first TD: if correct, your vCash is increased
2. Predict Braxton Miller's total offense: if within 35 yards, your vCash is increased
3. Predict which player will have the most net rushing yards for tOSU: if correct, vCash gets bumped
4. Predict tOSU's leading (total) tackler: if correct, vCash gets bumped
5. Predict which Buckeye gets an interception: if correct, vCash gets bumped

6. Bonus - if the TV broadcast asks a trivia question during the game, and you are the first person to answer it correctly within the game thread, your final vCash amount will be re-tripled

An example of how vCash would be calculated:
A poster commits to 20 cents per each Buckeye point, and 5 cents for each net rushing yard. The Buckeyes score 31 points, and they rush for 180 net yards. The committed donation to BP is $15.20 ($6.20 + $9.00).

The starting vCash amount is v$20,000 times 15.20, or v$304,000. Let's say that the prediction of Braxton's total yardage was exactly 35 yards off, so that's a win, and the prediction of Travis Howard getting an interception came true (even though somebody else had an interception earlier in the game). The two correct predictions make the vCash amount equal to v$912,000.

And if that poster was the first one to post the correct trivia answer from the TV question in the game thread, that final amount would be tripled to v$2,736,000. Regardless of the final amount, half of it comes from BP's vCash generator, and half of it comes from my total.

Sample post for someone making a donation:

I'm committing to donate 20 cents to BP for each point that the Buckeyes score against Akron.

My predictions:
1 - xxxxx xxxxxxxx scores the first Buckeye TD
2 - xxx yards total offense for Braxton Miller
3 - xxxxx xxxxxxx will be tOSU's leading rusher
4 - xxxxx xxxxxxx will be tOSU's leading tackler
5 - xxxxx xxxxxxx will pick off an Akron pass

NOTE - anyone wishing to anonymously make a donation to BP in this manner could send me a PM with the same information

Thanks, and Go Bucks!
 
I will go $2.50 a touchdown, $5.00 for every defensive touchdown, $2.00 per 100 yards of total offense and $20 for a shutout and a deduction of $1.00 from the $20 for every point the D gives up.

1. Name who scores tOSU's first TD: if correct, your vCash is increased - Stoneburner
2. Predict Braxton Miller's total offense: if within 35 yards, your vCash is increased - 255 yds
3. Predict which player will have the most net rushing yards for tOSU: if correct, vCash gets bumped - Jordan Hall
4. Predict tOSU's leading (total) tackler: if correct, vCash gets bumped - Sweat
5. Predict which Buckeye gets an interception: if correct, vCash gets bumped - Howard

Here's my pledge:

$1 for each "net" yard (Ohio State's total minus Akron's total)
$2 for each "net" point (see above)
$5 for each "net" turnover (see above)
$25 for the victory
517 (OSU yards) - 90 (Akron yards) = 427 x 1 = $427
42 (OSU points) - 0 (Akron points) = 42 x 2 = $84
1 (OSU turnover) - 1 (Akron turnover) = 0 x 5 = $0

Total donation = $531

6 x 2.50 = $15
Shutout by the D = $20
5.17 x 2 = $10.34

I owe $45.34.

Money sent via paypal
