Win Stuff: Utaugh Results

Submitted by MGoNukeE on

I went through the comments section of the Guess the Score, Win Stuff: Utaugh contest. 24-17 was a pretty popular score to predict, and would have won had Rudock simply connected on the long TD pass instead of the pick-six. As it turns out, only two people correctly guessed the 17-24 final score. Those people were 'jblaze' and 'GoBlue96'. An additional three people guessed 17-23, being off by only one point. Those people were 'Trebor', 'Above and Beyond', and 'Ellerbe is Yoda'. No one predicted a 16-24 or 18-24 result because they're not writing the preview for the main page, so these three are runner-ups.

According to the rules, only the two people that picked the correct score win. However, since we have five award-winners this week, I would be in favor of amending the rule and allowing the off-by-one guessers to also win. Others may selfishly disagree, preferring to screw the runner-ups and add the three books to next week; given I've already ordered the book I don't care.

Yeah, this is one contest I'm not happy to finish well in. I hate when my pessimism gets rewarded.

That's not to say that I would turn down a free copy of BLL (which I didn't order because I don't read many books)... plus the entry does say both "correct guesses" and "five closest," so it depends on which one you want to believe.
