My last contest ever - win a 'Hayden' ball cap

Aug. 27, 2012 3:01 pm
I hate contests. Well, "hate" is a strong word that shouldn't be thrown around loosely.
I loathe contests. Despise them. Abhor them. But that's because I never win them.
But I'm having a contest here this week, anyway. And then, never again. But I have a prize I know a lot of you would enjoy, and I'm not a collector, so I want one of you to win it.
It's a "Hayden" FRY fest ballcap. I assume you Iowa fans know who "Hayden" is.
If you don't, but your name is Hayden, you might want it, too.
So here's how you win it: Be the person to answer the most questions about Saturday's Iowa-Northern Illinois football game correctly in the comments section (Example: 1-A, 2-C, 3-B, etc.) and give an answer for the tiebreakers, since this is bound to end in a tie.
The deadline for entry is 10 a.m., Saturday. I can tell if you made deadline or not, so don't bother cheating. Would you really sell off a piece of your soul for a ballcap, anyway? Of course not.
And away we go:
1. How many passing yards for James Vandenberg?
a) Less than 200
b) 201-250
c) 251-300
d) 301-plus
2. Who will lead Iowa in rushing yards?
a) Damon Bullock
b) Greg Garmon
c) Someone else (This would be a brave pick, so I'll give you credit for two right answers if you pick this and it is the right answer.)

a) 0
b) 1
c) 2-3
d) 4+
a) Iowa by 1-6 points

c) Iowa by 14+
d) Northern Illinois by any margin
5. Iowa will have ___ turnovers?
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3+
6. Who will score Iowa's first touchdown?
a) An offensive back
b) A wide receiver
c) A tight end
d) It will come on a defensive or special teams play (If you pick this and it is correct, I'll give you credit for two correct answers.)
e) Iowa won't score a touchdown (If you pick this and it is correct, I'll give you credit for six correct answers.)
Tiebreaker:
On what yard-line will the football be prior to the final play of the game? Examples: NIU 32, Iowa 17.
Second tiebreaker:
Wisconsin's rushing yardage vs. Northern Iowa on Saturday
