In order to make some fundraising for BP a successful and even a fun event, we will have a thread like this for selected 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 for the Marshall 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 Marshall 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 Terrelle Pryor

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 TP'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 TP's total yardage was exactly 35 yards off, so that's a win, and the prediction of Chimdi Chekwa 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 Marshall.

My predictions:
1 - xxxxx xxxxxxxx scores the first Buckeye TD
2 - xxx yards total offense for Pryor
3 - xxxxx xxxxxxx will be tOSU's leading rusher
4 - xxxxx xxxxxxx will be tOSU's leading tackler
5 - xxxxx xxxxxxx will pick off a Marshall 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'm making a donation anyway, but what the hell, lets have some fun.

I'm committing 25cents for every point the Buckeyes score on offense and 50 cents for every defensive point.

My Predictions
1. Boom Herron scores the Bucks first TD
2. 300 total yards by Pryor.
3. Saine will be the leading rusher
4. Brian Rolle will be the leading tackler
5. Rolle will also get a pick(6)

  1. 25 cents for each point scored by the offense.
  2. $1 per point scored by the defense.
  3. 50 cents for each point the defense holds Marshall under 22 points (rounding up of Marshall's 21.77 ppg scoring average of last season).
In case #3 isn't clear, if the defense holds Marshall to 10 points, that's 12 ponts below 22, thus 12 x 50 cents = $6.00. If a Marshall score isn't against the defense (i.e., Marshall's defence or special teams score), those points don't go against the defense. So, if Marshall scores 10 points, but seven came via Marshall's defense/special teams, then only three points are against the defense, so it's 19 points under 22, or 19 x 50 cents = $9.50.

Predictions:

1. Sanzo
2. 310 yards
3. Pryor
4. Heyward
5. Sabino

25 cents for each Buckeye net rushing yard over 100; $1.00 for each yard over 200.
25 cents for each Buckeye passing yard over 200; $1.00 for each yard over 400.
$20.00 for the Buckeye's first safety; $30.00 for each thereafter.
$10.00 for the first kick blocked by the Buckeyes (punt, PAT, or FG); $20.00 for each thereafter.
$10.00 if Buckeyes have over 500 yards total offense.
$10.00 if Marshal has less than 125 yards total offense.

Are we allowed to go this route?

$14 dollars in the first half...not counting #3 yet, the first two are already decided but #3 ain't yet.
