GRT Guessing Game Results Week 5: The field and a blue shell take aim at Holtzclaw

Here’s this week’s Guessing Game play-by-play.

Round 1

Q: When do the Vols score their first points? (10-50 points available)

A: Second half (10 points) or third quarter (15 points).

We all got this wrong. Cue the trombone.

LT Vol99 drew and threw a bolt last round, so everybody but him is at half speed this round.

Mushrooms: LTVol99 and Mitchell K. Not fair, LTVol99, who not only gets 10 points as if he got the question right, but also gets a full three points for the ‘shroom.

Bananas: jrstep and Mitchell K (half points)

Blue shells and bolts: 

  • No new blue shells or bolts this round
  • Blue Shell #2 Counter: 3

Top 10 after Round 1:

  1. Randy Holtzclaw
  2. Jayyyy
  3. cscott95
  4. Displaced_Vol_Fan
  5. Evan
  6. MitchellK
  7. Will Shelton
  8. daetilus
  9. Corndawg
  10. Joel Hollingsworth

Round 2

Q: How many sacks do the Vols give up? (10-20 points available)

A: Two (10 points)

Only Will and I got this right. Ten points each for us!

Mushrooms: JWheel101 and Sam Hensley

Bananas: daetilus and Mitchell K (sorry, dude)

Blue shells and bolts: 

  • No new blue shells or bolts this round
  • Blue Shell #2 Counter: 2

Top 10 after Round 2:

  1. Randy Holtzclaw

  5. Displaced_Vol_Fan
  6. Evan
  7. Joel Hollingsworth
  8. MitchellK
  9. daetilus
  10. Corndawg

Round 3

Q: What’s greater, the total number of points in the game or Tennessee’s rushing yards? (10-50 points available)

A: Tennessee’s rushing yards (10 points) (Tennessee had 66 rushing yards; there were 50 total points)

Sixteen players got this right. I should have juiced the total points.

Mushrooms: Sam Hensley and Mitchell K (Fate does make up calls? Who knew?)

Bananas: Displaced_Vol_Fan and jrstep

Blue shells and bolts: 

  • No new blue shells or bolts this round
  • Blue Shell #2 Counter: 1

Yes, that means somebody’s getting blown up to kick things off next week.

GRT Guessing Game Results Week 4: Holtzclaw shrugs off getting blown up

Here’s this week’s Guessing Game play-by-play.

Round 1

Q: Which is greater, Tennessee’s rushing yards or Florida’s passing yards? (10-60 points)

A: Florida’s passing yards 10 points (Tennessee had 156 rushing yards to Florida’s 186 passing yards)

Eight players get this right and get 10 points for it.

Mushrooms: Rocky Top and Mitchell Killian

Bananas: Evan and Jordon74

Blue shells and bolts: 

  • Blue Shell #1 Counter: 1
  • Another blue shell is released, and its counter is set to 5
  • Rocky Top draws a bolt

Top 10 after Round 1:

  1. Randy Holtzclaw
  2. Displaced_Vol_Fan
  3. MitchellK
  4. Jayyyy
  5. Will Shelton
  6. cscott95
  7. daetilus
  8. Corndawg
  9. jfarrar90
  10. Mariettavol

Round 2

Q: Who scores the first touchdown for the Vols? (10-20 points)

A: Some other running back 10 points (It was Madre London)

Seven players get this right and would have gotten 10 points for it, but the bolt cuts the points in half to 5. Rocky Top didn’t get the question right but gets 5 points anyway.

Mushrooms: Mark Dotson gets both of these and would have received 6 points if not for the bolt. Instead, he gets 3.

Bananas: Raven17 and LTVol99 (half points)

Blue shells and bolts: 

  • Blue Shell #1 blows up the leader, Randy Holtzclaw, and he loses 10 points
  • Blue Shell #2 Counter: 4
  • No new blue shells or bolts this round

  8. Corndawg
  9. Joel Hollingsworth
  10. jfarrar90

Round 3

Q: Who leads at halftime?

A: One moment, please, while I research this . . . ah, yes, it was Florida.

Only four players get this right and get 10 points for it. Many were seduced by the promise of an extra 5 points for a tie.

Mushrooms: Dave Burton and Jordon74

Bananas: Isaac Bishop and Mitchell Killian

Blue shells and bolts: 

  • Blue Shell #2 Counter: 3
  • No new blue shells
