GT_Dean wins Goldtimer\'s Score Contest
[Goldtimer added to contest title by board administrator to avoid any confusion with other contests]
GT_Dean (or is it GTDean?) had the lowest score for the Vandy game by a mere 3 points (on a scale of 1000) over moi and helluvaengineer.
GT_Dean predicted a score of 49-7, which was the exact 42-point delta, which is why (given the scoring parameters) his prediction barely edged out helluvaengineer's 42-3 and my 41-0. (We could argue the weightings need some fine-tuning, but over the course of the season the person coming very close most of the time will win anyway.)
Thanks to the 144 people (less a few duplicates I have to delete when time) who entered.
