Marietta Vol takes first place in the 2017 GRT Guessing Game

Mushrooms, bananas, bolts, and blue shells all have a say in the final round of the 2017 Gameday on Rocky Top Guessing Game, but skill wins out in the end.

Thanks to everyone for playing this season. Play by play below.

Top 10 as of the end of last week

Marietta Vol 164
Raven17 161
Sam 144
Fatso 124
LTVol99 121
Dave Strunk 120
RandyH 119
Josh Farrar 116
cscott95 112
Daetilus 109

 

Round 1

Q: Which team hits 20 points first? (20-40 points)

A: Vanderbilt (20 points)

Due to Evan’s bolt in the last round last week, nobody but him had a shot at this one. And he missed it. No points for nobody!

Mushrooms: Raven17 and itsNickJ

Bananas: Marietta Vol and me, picking up right where I left off last week

Blue shells and bolts: The blue shell moves, and is now within one spot of the target. Who is it? Raven17, who just moved into the lead thanks to her mushroom and Marietta Vol’s banana. Also, MitchellK draws a thunderbolt.

Top 10 after Rounds 1:

Raven17 166
Marietta Vol 159
Sam 144
Fatso 124
LTVol99 121
Dave Strunk 120
RandyH 119
Josh Farrar 116
cscott95 112
Daetilus 109

 

Round 2

Q: Who wins and by how much? (10-30 points)

A: Vanderbilt, by 8 or more (18)

Due to MitchellK’s bolt last round, everybody’s disqualified from this question. No matter. Nobody got it right anyway.

Mushrooms: LTVol99 and Josh Farrar

Bananas: MitchellK and yes, me, again

Blue shells and bolts: The blue shell blows up Raven17, putting Marietta Vol back into the lead. ItsNickJ throws another blue shell, but it’s harmless because there is no time for it to reach the front now.

Top 10 after Round 2:

Marietta Vol 159
Raven17 156
Sam 144
LTVol99 126
Fatso 124
Josh Farrar 121
Dave Strunk 120
RandyH 119
cscott95 112
Daetilus 109

 

Round 3

Q: Which is greater, Vanderbilt’s rushing yards or Vanderbilt’s passing yards? (20 points)

A: Vanderbilt’s passing yards (20 points) (283 – 246)

Four players get this right, including the leader, Marietta Vol.

Mushrooms: Fatso and Josh Farrar

Bananas: Daetilus and Josh Farrar

Blue shells and bolts: Harmless blue shell is harmless, and Marietta Vol coasts across the finish line.

Final Top 10:

Marietta Vol 179
Raven17 156
Sam 144
Fatso 129
LTVol99 126
Daetilus 124
Josh Farrar 121

Gameday on Rocky Top W12 Guessing Game Results: Beware the bananas

Marietta Vol takes the lead (and the unenviable position of the sole target of the blue shell that is about to hit), while I binge on bananas.

Play by play below.

Top 10 as of the end of last week

Sam 94

Marietta Vol 79
Raven17 76
cscott95 72
Dave Strunk 70
Daetilus 69
Josh Farrar 66
MitchellK 66
Evan 64

 

Rounds 1&2

These were gimmes. Because of a bolt drawn in the last round last week, LTVol99 had the first question all to himself and got 15 points. Everybody who played got 20 points on the second question just to put a little distance between y’all and all the slackers.

Mushrooms: Marietta Vol, Josh Farrar, Raven17, and Dave Strunk

Bananas: Sam got two of these, and the other two went to Daetilus and me. This would be my first this week, but not my last.

Blue shells and bolts: There were no bolts, but new player KD picked up and released a new blue shell.

Top 10 after Rounds 1&2:

Marietta Vol 104
Sam 104

Round 3

Q: Who scores first? (20 points)

A: LSU (20 points)

All but three players get this right and get 20 points for their disloyalty.

Mushrooms: Daetilus and Harley

Bananas: WIll Shelton and Displaced_Vol_Fan

Blue shells and bolts: Nothing new, but the blue shell is on the move.

Top 10 after Round 2:

Marietta Vol 124

Round 4

Q: Which is greater, Derrius Guice’s rushing yards or Tennessee’s passing yards? (20 points)

A: Tennessee’s passing yards (20 points) (249 vs. 97)

Eight players get this right and get 20 points for it.

Mushrooms: Josh Farrar and Displaced_Vol_Fan

Bananas: MitchellK and me, my second this week.

Blue shells and bolts: Nothing new, but the blue shell continues to fly toward the front.

Top 10 after Round 4:

Marietta Vol 144

LTVol99 116

Round 5

Q: How many rushing yards will LSU get against Tennessee? (20-30 points)

A: 101-200 (20 points) (200 on the nose)

Only three players get this right and get 20 points for it.

Mushrooms: LTVol99 and Dave Strunk

Bananas: Guess who got both of these? That’s four for me just this week. Argh.

Blue shells and bolts: No new blue shells, but the one let fly a few rounds ago is closing in on the leaders. Also, Evan nabs a bolt and gets the next question to himself.

Top 10 after Round 5:

Marietta Vol 164
Raven17 161

Gameday on Rocky Top W11 Guessing Game Results: the rich get richer

Sam extends his lead in the Gameday on Rocky Top Guessing Game this week, thanks in part to stealing all of the mushrooms. Play by play below.

Round 1

Q: Tennessee’s pass defense has been good so far this season, but they’re going up against the best passing offense they’ve seen so far this year. How many passing yards do they give up this week? (10-20 points)

A: 200-299 (10 points) (226)

Only one poor soul gets this wrong. Everybody else gets 5 points.

Mushrooms: Evan and RandyH (the aforementioned poor soul)

Bananas: TennVol95 and Harley

Blue shells and bolts: Bulldog 85 draws a thunderbolt and claims the next question all to himself.

Round 2

Q: Tennessee’s offense is struggling, but they’re going up against the worst scoring defense they’ve seen all season. How many points do the Vols score against Missouri? (10-20 points)

A: Under 20 (20 points) (17)

Three players would have raced ahead with 20 points for this answer, including Mr. Poor Soul for Week 11, except that they, along with everyone else, are tiny and slow due to Bulldog 85’s thunderbolt. And he didn’t get the question right, so everybody loses.

Mushrooms: Sam (who’s in first and keeps getting richer) and Displaced_Vol_Fan.

Bananas: Harley and me

Blue shells and bolts: None

Round 3

Q: Missouri has a havoc-wreaking defense, and Tennessee’s offensive line is working with backups of backups. How many sacks does Tennessee give up? (10-20 points)

A: 5 – 6 (10 points) (5)

Four players get this right and get five points for it.

Mushrooms: Sam (!) and Displaced_Vol_Fan

Bananas: Evan and Displaced_Vol_Fan

Blue shells and bolts: LTVol99 draws a thunderbolt and claims the next question all to himself.

Gameday on Rocky Top W10 Guessing Game Results: Massive chaos reigns

Catastrophe strikes, with two successive blue shells knocking the leaders back into the pack and two thunderbolts turning the track into quicksand. Play by play below.

Round 1

A: A receiver (5 points) (Marquez Callaway)

Nine players get this right and get 5 points for it.

Mushrooms: Evan and Jayyyy

Bananas: Marietta Vol and LTVol99

Blue shells and bolts: A blue shell reaches the front and blows up Daetilus, the second time he’s been hit this season. He loses 10 points and Evan ties him for the lead. There is one other shell right behind it. Meanwhile, TennVol95 draws a thunderbolt and claims the next question all to himself.

Round 2

Q: How many points do the Vols score this weekend? (5-10 points)

A: 21-28 (5 points) (24)

Eight players would have gotten five points for this, but TennVol95’s thunderbolt put the restrictors on everybody for this round. Unfortunately for TennVol95, he didn’t get the question right. NO POINTS FOR YOU!

Mushrooms: Sam gets both of these.

Bananas: Evan and me

Blue shells and bolts: The next blue shell reaches the top and takes out both Daetilus (his third of the season) and Evan. They both lose 10 points. And just to keep the chaos dialed up, RandyH draws a thunderbolt for himself.

Daetilus drops all the way to seventh, and we have a brand new set up front-runners led by Sam.

Round 3

Q: Who wins, and by how much? (10 points)

A: Vols, by 7 or more (10 points) (14)

Eleven players would have gotten 10 points for this, but for RandyH’s thunderbolt, but he gained no ground because he got the question wrong.

Mushrooms: Marietta Vol and Displaced_Vol_Fan

Bananas: Dave Strunk and MitchellK

Blue shells and bolts: There are no blue shells or bolts.
