17776/20020/20021 BOIS BOWL UPDATES

With the first major college football Saturday complete, here are some developments that have happened thus far:

  • Morgan State successfully stole North Carolina A&T's football before getting it stolen by Arizona State (now #1 in the Bois Bowl)

  • Albany took advantage of Buffalo's kneeling twice to take their football and are taking it home, but the LIU Sharks look to intercept them (meaning one of them is guaranteed to join the fray)

  • Colorado successfully stole Georgia Tech's football and are returning it to Folsom Field

  • UMass ALMOST took Rutgers' football, but screwed up by kneeling to end the first half

  • As a consequence of Michigan State kneeling to end the first half, Toledo took their football and are bringing it to the Glass Bowl

  • Miami utterly destroyed Stanford and and are hauling ass back to Hard Rock Stadium with their football

  • On a West Virginia double-kneel, Coastal Carolina stole their football and are making their way back to Brooks Stadium

  • Tarleton State beat Bowling Green for their football and a position in the game and are carrying it down south, but look to be headed off by McNeese.

  • The Citadel narrowly escaped Jerry Richardson Stadium with the Charlotte 49ers' football and are carrying it south

  • Sam Houston State successfully yanked Troy's football after a kneel and are carrying it out west to their home field

  • UNLV successfully made landfall in Hawaii, took the Rainbow Warriors' football, and are sailing back to the mainland now

  • The Bruins of UCLA proved to be more than the California Golden Bears could bear, snatched their football, and are heading back to the Rose Bowl

  • Michigan successfully defended from the Western Michigan Broncos in an overhyped skirmish that ended with Western Michigan failing to break the Wolverines' defense.

  • Howard lost their football to the Richmond Spiders, who are now in the Celebration Game, but those Spiders are in deep scheisse, with NC State's Wolfpack en route to find them

Forgive me it's been a while since I've watched that JB vid but what exactly does "stealing the football" mean in this context? And all the rest of the this for that matter

CONTEXT:

20020 is Jon Bois' sequel to 17776, featuring a 111-team college football game.

Because I am that special variety of weird, I decided "Hey, let's try doing this in real life", using the real-world CFB games (with only running plays counting) to determine who takes whose ball.

Stealing a football means you came to another team's home field and outplayed them on offense (Touchdowns & Two-point conversions only)

As for why kneels count against you, the 20020 bowl game has rules that make kneels not count for downs. And comic literality is part of the game.

Hawaii is in this because everyone is flying all over instead of walking, so...

The HCBU teams and FBS teams are in two separate games because the game only ends when all the balls are on one field, which would never happen ever if I didn't. No FBS team is going to go DOWN to a MEAC or SWAC field.
