wiegie Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) It has reached that special time of year in Michigan again. The summer is drawing to a close and the faintest signs of autumnal color may already be glimpsed on verdant leaves. The first frost of the season is not far away, though the waters of the big lakes are yet placid. The sounds of children splashing playfully along the shorelines is being replaced by the sounds of hunters in the woods. The Canadian geese have arrived, if only for a short while as they follow the sun southward. And for a few fleeting moments the hopes of Detroit Lions fans have again arisen with the approaching of September. For surely they think, this season will be different, the inevitable will surely be avoided. Alas, these dreams are destined to wither and crumble as certainly as the leaves of summer will fall to carpet the forest floor. All that remains is the question which has haunted the minds of generations long past... When? ------- So, here again is the contest: In which week will the Detroit Lions first lose by more than 20 points? --Also include your answer to the tie-breaker: How many points will Detroit score in the game in which they first lose by more than 20 points? --Further note that by tradition, if no team defeats the Lions by more than 20 points then Spain automatically wins the award. --There is only one postcard, so the first person to guess the correct week/score combination will win the award The winner will receive a shiny technicolor postcard featuring the Edmund Fitzgerald, and the winner's name will be forever be immortalized on the award.
