377.0. "THE PGH STEELER TD CONTEST" by PFSVAX::JACOB (PGH Pirates, 1990 NL East Champs) Mon Oct 01 1990 16:56

    Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!!!!!
    
    Predict the game, quarter and time that the Pittsburgh Steelers will
    score their first offensive touchdown (running or passing) this season.
    
    
    Your prediction should be in the following format:
    
    Steelers opponent, quarter, time left in quarter, opponents point total
    at time of Steeler score.
    
    If there is a tie, or two people are the same time away from the actual
    time, the opponents point total will be used as a tie breaker.  If this
    still results in a tie, I will use the entry of the tied ones that was
    predicted earlier in the quarter.
    
    I will supply, to the winner, one 1990 Steeler coffee mug as grand
    prize, which can then be thrown against a wall(it'll come up short)
    or used however you want.
    
    Here is the remaining Steeler schedule:
    
    Week 5    San Diego      
    Week 6    at Denver
    week 7    at San Francisco
    week 8    L A RAMS

377.5This is easy.....COMET::EDWARDSBroncos...one week at a timeMon Oct 01 1990 17:1720
	I'll say week 10:

	Opponent: BYE

	Quarter: 3

	Time Remaining: 3:12

	Opponents score: 8 (four safeties)



	They should be able to score with no one else on the field;
	but it will take one hell-of-a halftime talk by Walton for them
	to understand that , and they will still take up most of the 
	quarter trying to figure out if that QB draw will work :-)

    yes I know, it's the Bye week ... but I predict that the Steelers O
    will line up unopposed, and score on a 15 play-80 yard drive taking
    some 10 minutes. Bubby will convert 2 3rd and longs, Hoge will score on
    4th down from the 1.

    a touchdown in week 5 against San Diego. There will be 4:12 left in 
    the first quarter, and the Chargers will have 10 points on the
    scoreboard already.

   It happens week 6
   against the awesome Denver Broncos and (god) Elway.
   It is in the 4th quarter, and there are 6 minutes and 43 seconds left
   on the clock.

   Denver fumbles within their own 15 yard line.
   The Squealer O takes the field. Bubble Blister goes back and tries to
   hand off.
   Whoops!.... Nobody there! Bro
                                /ken play.
   He dashes (okay... lumbers) right.
         a defender slips down! (it rained earlier)
    Bubble attempts to dart (dart?) inside... trips... staggers..

                        and falls into the endzone.

                    TOUCHDOWN!! TOUCHDOWN!! TOUCHDOWN!!

   The jinx is broken, and the Squealers go on to challenge for the cellar
   of the AFC Central.

   Now you know

   PS - The Donks will have 24 points at the time

    Well, since I was told that Pittsburg doesn't play in week 10, I
    guess I should pick another week.  I knew there was something that
    week....how could they not score then.  Really though, I had a
    preminision	that it would be week 10 though.  anyway, how can I
    loose picking this comming week, everyone else did and I guess if
    everyone looses, they get to pick again, right?  So......
    
    	This Sunday the Squealers will get an Offensive TD in the 4th
    quarter with 1:15 left in the game.  San Deigo will go to their
    prevent and the Squealers will score...San Deigo will have 23 points
    on the board.  The final score of the game will be Squealers 20
    and the Chargers 23.  The defense will get another TD to go with
    two more field goals.

    Hal:
    
    There are a few picks already for later games, SO, if the Steelers
    con't score a TD this week, everybody who picked the San Diego game is
    out of the running. Then again, the way this year has been going so
    far, everybody may get some new picks next year!!!! 8-)

    Well, I didn't win.  But hey JaKe.  Why don't you buy two Steelers 90
    mugs and I'll trade you a Charlotte Hornets mug for one when we get 
    together next month.  Deal?

    a clear decisive winner can be determined.  Unlike that other scandal

    The Steelers scored their first offensive touchdown of the year with
    14:02 remaining in the 2nd quarter. The TD was a pass from Brister to
    Rookie 1st round draft pick Eric Green, who caught 2 td passes in the
    game.  The Steelers ended up scoring 4 td's in the game.
    
    Congratulations to Mac who was 37 seconds and 3 points away from an
    exact prediction and is hereby declared the winner of the Steeler TD
    contest.

	WOW!  I guess the old crystal ball had to be right soomer or later.
Too bad I smashed it this weekend after dropping out of the KOH contest at
week 5! Maybe I'm on a roll, perhaps I should pick up that McMillions ticket
on the way home afterall.
	Thanks to the STEELERS for containing their offensive juggernaut 
until very early in the 2nd quarter for my benefit!

Mac
