Scoreboard, Baby
Scoreboard, Baby: A Story of College Football, Crime, and Complicity | Ken Armstrong, Nick Perry
5 posts | 2 to read
Now, in Scoreboard, Baby, Armstrong and Perry go behind the scenes of the Huskies' Cinderella story to reveal a timeless morality tale about the price of obsession, the creep of fanaticism, and the ways in which a community can lose even when its team wins. The authors unearth the true story from firsthand interviews and thousands of pages of documents: the forensic report on a bloody fingerprint; the notes of a detective investigating allegations of rape; confidential memoranda of prosecutors; and the criminal records of the dozen-plus players arrested that year with scant mention in the newspapers and minimal consequences in the courts. The statement of a judge, sentencing one player to thirty days in jail, says it all: "to be served after football season."

Thankfully it was a slow night at work, since I spent literal HOURS trying to track down all the prompts and sign ups for all the readathons on the group list! I managed to get through the first 34 of 60+ before I had to call it, and just calculate week ones Readathon points as is. Each of the 19 books counted towards different readathons, depending on the prompts, the highest being 23 readathons for 1 book 🙈

My week one total was 17,423pts

Clwojick I still have to finish researching the rest of the readathons and bingo boards! Hopefully my points for #TeamSlaughter next week will be just at good! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (edited) 3y

night_shift I stopped trying to keep track a while ago. It's easier when it's my own posts, but with the games idk. I also just caught up on the photo challenge, so dunno if you've counted those for this? Or are you totaling them up as we ask here? 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheReadingMermaid That‘s seems way off... I‘ll have to check my sheet when I get home. See if I missed something big somewhere. 🤷‍♀️ I only have myself in the 500‘s somewhere. 5y
BeansPage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa yes please do check your sheet. And remember every single post that I have made that says that you get points for comments means that you got points for ALL comments that you made on those posts. I've been a little sneaky. and if you need help figuring out what things are worth please do let me know. We've had a couple of really big point games lately. 5y

BeansPage I'd also like to welcome a late entry, @NoConcernsForCarol welcome to TeamStoker!!! 5y
BeansPage @NoConcernsForCarol do you need any help or do you have any questions honey? I'm here to help 😊 5y
NoConcernsForCarol @TheReadingMermaid Hi thanks the offer of assistance to answer questions I have a few :) the first one being what types of scary movies count to watch for the team can I watch any type of scary movie? or are there rules like only creature movies or only slasher flicks? and so on and so forth. and do I just keep a running tally with each post like post after i watch each movie? and are movies 1 point?
5y
BeansPage @NoConcernsForCarol so you can watch any sort of scary film. It doesn't have to be under the team theme. They are 1pt for the film and 1pt for the post so I would suggest to post them separately. and you can keep track of your own points if you like and check them with me at the end of each week. We post a scoreboard like this one every Friday. The only thing I ask is that you remember to tag me and your team in each post. 5y
NoConcernsForCarol @TheReadingMermaid another similar question can the movie be comedy or action and have sci creatures like vampires or zombies or does the genre have to classify as horror ? 5y
BeansPage @NoConcernsForCarol now we're starting to get into a gray area... We have been allowing people to count movies that are Halloween type movies like Hocus pocus and The nightmare before Christmas. So generally speaking it needs to be either a horror/spooky movie or about Halloween. 5y
NoConcernsForCarol @TheReadingMermaid cool thanks for such the speedy responses too :) 5y
BeansPage @NoConcernsForCarol no problem sweetheart. If you have any other questions don't ever be afraid to hit me up. 😊 5y
Kimberlone I will be catching up on posts this weekend! I‘ve had a busy week at work with late nights so I haven‘t been reading as much the past few days 5y
BeansPage @Kimberlone no worries hun! We got this! 5y
jb72 Yep I‘ll be buckling down this weekend too. Busy today, but I am 90% done with my witchy book. Then I can work on some others tomorrow. Super excited to find some more Halloween reads! 5y
xxjenadanxx Nice job everyone! Is there anyway to find out how many points we have including the games and stuff @TheReadingMermaid ? 5y
BeansPage @jb72 I know I haven't really been giving it my all for the past couple of days because I've been rather ill but I'm feeling better now and I'm starting to hit the books really hard. 5y
BeansPage @xxjenadanxx of course sweetie, you are at 145 points 😊 5y
jb72 @TheReadingMermaid Oh I‘m sorry to hear you were ill. Glad you are better. 😷 5y
BeansPage @jb72 awe thank you darling! But like I said I'm getting over it now and getting back to business 😉 5y
xxjenadanxx @TheReadingMermaid oh wow, okay thank you! 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have a question...for a book to count as a Halloween book, does it have to have Halloween in the title or can it just be set during Halloween? 5y
BeansPage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa so it can just be set during Halloween 😉 it does not have to have Halloween in the title 5y
Jesstifies Question! We‘re seeing a Halloween play tonight (with drag queens even) can I count it like a movie!? Or just a participation post? 5y
Godpants These totals are insanely impressive! 5y
