Congratulations to Will, who, for the first time I can recall in nearly a decade of writing with him, actually finished first in the Gameday on Rocky Top Pick ‘Em contest. High-five. See kids? Grit, determination, and perseverance eventually pay off.

Because he’s worked for it, I’m sending him a Gameday on Rocky Top t-shirt from our custom tee store, Web Community Tees, even though he has the keys to the place and even though he already has a Gameday on Rocky Top t-shirt. Hey, accomplishments must be rewarded.

I’m also giving vols95 a t-shirt, though, as he or she is the person who finished first this week among non-authors. Watch for how to get your tee.

And finally, I’m giving myself a giant bowl of Blue Bell Cookies and Cream for producing the absolute worst result in ten years. I finished with one point more than the people who didn’t play. Woo.

Here are the full results for this week:.

I tend to do about as well as Tennessee does in real life in these things, so it’s nice being at the top while it lasts, which won’t be long.

Well you finally made me comment after being a “closet reader” going back to the RTT days and following you guys here. By the way, it is he. I must point out that even though Will beat me in points I did have a better record at picking (16-4). I only point this out because if history truly does repeat itself I will be joining you next week in needing my tub of ice cream to console myself as I rejoin the bottom of the pack where I usually dwell with my picks. Keep up the great work at GRT…… Read more »

We’ve locked your closet, so you can’t go back. There’s nothing there for you now.

How did the people who didn’t play score 80 points? And what did Anaconda do wrong?

So if you forget to pick, you get one point less than the last place finisher for the week. Helps keep people involved if they forget one week.
