[Rick Mons]

We've never had a winner of "Predict the Score" who was so many points off the actual score ... but RodentRampage <s>streaked</s> ambled to the lead with a prediction of a 23-14 Penn State win. So, RodentRampage's name goes upon the Roll Call of Honor for this season's "Predict the Score competition"

Others who scored in the top five positions are also listed below:

1st Place: RodentRampage (17 pt variance)

Schnoodler gets stricken

Turns out Schnoodler was, uh, covering all the bases. Playing both sides, so to speak. Picked Penn State to win and then later picked the Gophers to win.

Under the rules (see link), "- just one entry per person and predictions cannot be changed once made." So, I've struck both of his predictions and he gets no points this week.

Ah, Scnoods -- whatta we gonna do wid you?

 

[Dr.Don]

I suggest we trade him off for a poor hunting dog that craps in the house and then shoot the dog. We would not want to shoot schnoods.
