Should BP update threads with scores during games?

[NFBuck]

Yes.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Definitely update the thread titles with lastest scores...that's what we've been doing almost since the inception of game threads.

 

[Mike80]

I don't particularly care either way, but if the decision is made I volunteer to keep the thread titles updated.

 

[Dryden]

I like having the updated scores/quarter in the thread titles ...

... which is why I update the thread titles as I'm watching games, whether other people like it or not. :p

My only complaint/suggestion is to be consistent with using team names, it makes searching for old threads easier.

I usually don't come on to message boards until after my team's game is completely over anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.

I'd rather the scores not be in the titles for the rare occasions when I'm DVRing something on like a thursday or friday, but I also want to shoot the shit here.

What's so hard about having a realtime scoreboard open in another window? It doesn't seem worth the trouble.

Then bookmark the game thread or use forum view (not bpspy) if you must risk visiting a college football discussion board. :p

I usually don't have a scoreboard page open unless there's a compelling lineup of games.

I like the thread title scores because they often alert me to surprising potential upsets, particularly during a 12 PM lineup of games which looked pretty boring before kickoff (and thus not worth following on a scoreboard page).

Vote if it matters to you.

It doesn't matter to me and I still voted - simply to go on record as calling you (et al) an elitist prick.

 

[OCBucksFan]

elitist pricks.

 

[Deety]

We could update them, but sometimes with the wrong scores, just to preserve a sense of mystery.

That would absolutely be the elitist prick thing to do.

Administrative question for the BP'ers that provide the lines for the Vbets.

When do they typically get posted (on BP and in Vegas?)

Thanks!

The line is usually out by Monday morning on most games. But the over/unders don't usually appear until Wednesday morning, so that's when most of the vBets for college games are created on BP.

vegasinsider is a site that lists lines from several different casinos, in an, easy-to-read format, so that's where I usually get my info.

Then voting did matter.

The poll is open until Friday, so from that point on we can ignore the results.
