Top 3!!!
OK Will… I am on to your strategy! I’ll be adjusting at half time 😉 Go Vols!
I never win these things because I’m too optimistic, so I’m glad it worked out for once!
I, in fact, did submit the Maurer call before the news broke.
However, I’m cool with tossing that question for fairness
If this game was only about fairness, we wouldn’t have mushrooms and bananas and bolts and blue shells. I’m just targeting you three for more bananas. (I’m kidding.)
