I've had this argument with JSAD already. If the question said "instead of" I can see the "game experience" point. "Other than," to me, is "what else do you do?"

You go to a game, and you follow it up with beers in Wrigleyville.

 

This game seems to not benefit from thinking too much. The leaders are all idiots!

 

WEEK 8 QUESTIONS
1. Excluding the SEC, name a school most likely to win the next college football national championship.
2. Who is Canada's all-time funniest comedic actor?
3. Name a national retailer you expect will be out of business within a decade.
4. Who will be the Republican candidate for president in 2016?
5. Name a male musician who has been successful as both a solo artist and part of a band (not a boy band).
6. Name a current professional sports commissioner.
7. Name a cold cut that might be served on a meat tray at a party.
8. Name a state with a low population besides Alaska.
9. What's a household chore that men typically do?
10. Blonde, brunette or redhead?

 

Some tough ones this week. Especially No. 5.

 

SportsJournalists.com has "no idiots" leagues but Sheep is open competition.

 

Lol. So far, they haven't let me into a "no idiots" league.

I'm glad sheep welcomes all.

 

Holy crap, the drop racked me!

 

This doesn't make sense. I missed a week so my with the drop and without the drop should be the same -- 954.

 

Somehow I managed to switch your score with Matt1735's. Poor Matt. (But good news for 'sote. He gained a few points when I chose the correct drop score.)

Dammit. So not fair.

 

I just want to point out that ColdCat beat me this week because he and my wife worked together and I went solo.

They beat me by 5 points. So guess who I now have to listen to for the answers the rest of this game? LOL
