Before we get to the results a short comment on the Longhorns win over Iowa State.
Big win for Texas. Second biggest of the season. It may be too early to think the Horns are no longer a mystery to me but, I’m leaning towards the idea that their #7 ranking is deserved.
On to the important results from Saturday night. Helen Frink returns to the winners’ circle with a dominating performance. Helen nearly aced the exam with 9 correct answers. Helen edged out the up-and-coming John Spafford who took second place with 8 correct. Steve Holstead, Reed Ramlow, Wade Wallace, Tyler Cotton, and Eric Vogl tied for third with 7 correct.
The Iowa State game brought further proof that footballs takes funny bounces literally and metaphorically. The over/under 7.5 points scored by Texas in the third quarter was decided by a blocked ISU extra point that was returned by Texas for two points. Helen Frink’s correct answer on that one was all that separated her from second place finisher John Spafford.
Since Helen is ineligible for Moneyball Spaffy takes home the $40 purse.
The average score of the 20 players was 5.6.
