Congrats to Rosemountian -- winner of Predict the Score vs Michigan

[Rick Mons]

Sorry, couldn't get much enthusiasm for posting the winner(s) of Tuesday's Predict the Score competition. That was a ghastly game.

But Rosemountian deserves his/her commendation. He won with a prediction of 74-61, 15 points off the actual score of 83-55. BTW, I thought the poor fella couldn't spell mountain but the realized what the moniker actually meant. I've just thought of those folks as "Rosemountaphiles" -- go figure ...

Here's the top five places:

1st Place: Rosemountian (15 pt variance) - 15 points awarded
2nd Place: Big Play (19 pts off) - 10 points awarded
3rd Place (tie): figi & Gopher In Qatar (20 pts off) -7 points awarded
4th Place (tie): streetfighter & XMan (22 pts off) - 5 points awarded
5th Place: Southpaw (23 pts off) - 3 points awarded
​

Others who picked the Wolverines to win but had predictions that varied by 24 or more points gained one participation point and included: Gopher737, Gopherbadgerman, Section201, Sku U Mah Gopher and Runningopher

Others who predicted a Gopher win (including yours truly) get neither points nor comfort.
