Congrats to BigPlay -- Today's Predict the Score Winner

[Rick Mons]

BigPlay predicts a 72-63 Gopher win -- just two points off the actual 73-62 score. Nobody came as close so BigPlay is the undisputed winner of today's Predict the Score competition. No tie-breakers involved for the first time in what seems like a long time.

Here's the top five finishers and the points earned in the season-long standings:

1st Place: Big Play (2 pt variance) - 15 points awarded
2nd Place: Gopher In Qatar (3 pts off) - 10 points awarded
3rd Place (tie): Mikie S and rccola889 (4 pts off) -7 points awarded
4th Place: UptownMaroon&Gold (5 pts off) - 5 points awarded
5th Place (tie): Jike Spingleton, Runext07 and Section201 (6 pts off) - 3 points awarded​

Also gaining one participation in the standings are: Anderson8284, Blizzard, book, Charlesbenjamin, Dmoney, Dr.Don, Dr.Gopher, Go31, Gold Vision, Gopher Bandanna Guy, Gopher1more, Gopher737, Gopherholefan, GophersOnTheRise, HardwoodElite, Heber, jamiche, Kindofgreen, macgohper, minimax, MKE_Gopher, MLF89, PeanutbutterTubbyTime, rcpratt, Rick Mons, runningopher, sandiegopete, Selection Sunday, Ski U Mah Gopher, Southpaw, Station 19, tubbyapolis2, Ulmer, whogoofed and XMan All predicted a Gopher victory but had predictions that were 7 or more points off the actual score.

And, gaining no points -- nada, zippo, zilch, zed -- are these folks who predicted a Buckeye victory: Bayfieldgopher, BigGopherFan, ChemEGopher, dex8425, GopherBadgerMan, Notorious PLD

that's BigGopherFan

 

[Dr.Don]

I know, Rick, I just couldn't get the "little" BigGopher letters to come out right.

Either way, same guy, and it is fun to rag him "a little", because he is educated and realistic.

 

[Ski U Mah Gopher]

BigGopherFan is a tool

 

[Dr.Don]

BigGopherFan is a tool

Ski U Mah: No he isn't. He is just educated and realistic, that is why he is tied for 85th place with 1 big-a$$ed point.

In addition...Congrats to Big Play. Welcome to the Honor Roll, Big Play!
