Last week, in this high stakes Mario Kart style 2014 RTT Guessing Game, the first bit of drama that unfolded was that the first half of the game between the Vols and Missouri ended in a tie, depriving everyone of any points for the "easy" question. Then, 18 people correctly guessed that Missouri would outrush Tennessee and got two points for their efforts.
Would anyone throw a blue shell this week? Well, yes and no. GBOVOLS1 attempted to throw one on Sunday, but fortunately the fact that he had two entries got me looking at them closer, which led me to discover that the entry that would have earned him 5 points and the blue shell was submitted on Sunday, after the game. So he blows himself up and loses all 10 points that he had. If anyone wants to mock him as he crawls out of his wreckage, be my guest. Attempting to cheat has consequences, even where the rules are made up and the points don't matter.
So congrats to MasonW, VolFanatETSU, and volundore, who all share the lead going in to the final turn.
