Score prediction winners for Eastern Michigan, USC, and Troy

I realized this morning I’ve done a crappy job of announcing the winners for our weekly score prediction contests here on the Flyer. Here are the last three winners in one post. Make friends with these people. They’re BBQ-rich.

Arkansas beat the crap out of Eastern Michigan, and Sardon was the closest to the 63-27 final score with his prediction of 63-14.

Arkansas vs. Ole Miss score prediction winner

The winner of the Arkansas vs. Ole Miss score prediction contest is…no one.

It’s crazy, but not a single person picked Ole Miss to beat Arkansas in our weekly score prediction contest. Well, Seth did, but he’s not eligible to win because he’s on staff.

And since the rules of the contest clearly state that you have to pick the correct winner to be eligible to win, strangely, no one wins this week.

Personally, I’m kind of proud of you guys. Even if I believed that Ole Miss was going to beat Arkansas, I couldn’t have said it out loud. Better luck to us all next week against Eastern Michigan.

Arkansas vs. Florida score prediction winner

Congratulations to Ian, winner of the Arkansas versus Florida score prediction contest, and a tailgating package for 4 from Sassy’s Red House.

Ian predicted a score of Florida 27 Arkansas 24, just 8 points off of the actual score of 23-20. Nice job, Ian.

Thanks to everyone for entering, and thanks again to Sassy’s Red House sponsoring our weekly score prediction contest. Go Hogs!

Arkansas vs. Texas A&M score prediction winner

Congrats to J, the winner of the Texas A&M vs. Arkansas score prediction contest.

J predicted a score of 48-17 Arkansas, just three points off from the actual score of 47-19. Nice work.

Thanks again to Sassy’s Red House for sponsoring our weekly score prediction contest. Go Hogs!

Arkansas vs. Auburn prediction contest winner

Congratulations to the winner of our Auburn vs. Arkansas score prediction contest, George.

J and George tied with a 7 point difference between their prediction and the actual score. In the event of a tie, Random.org picks the winner, and George was the lucky one this time, scoring a tailgating package for four from Sassy’s Red House.

Thanks again to Sassy’s Red House for sponsoring our weekly score prediction contest. Now let’s keep our momentum going, and beat Florida this week.

Chefs in the Garden giveaway winner

Alabama vs. Arkansas prediction contest winner

It took a while, but we’re finally ready to announce the winner of Arkansas vs. Alabama score prediction contest.

Josh McCain was only 3 points off, and Pipepimp was only 7 points off on his prediction, but neither of them responded in time to claim their prize, so Teresa Prewett ended up winning the BBQ from Sassy’s this time.

Congrats to Teresa Prewett, winner of a tailgating package for four from Sassy’s Red House.

Thanks again to Sassy’s Red House for sponsoring our weekly score prediction contest. Now lets beat those Aggies today, wanna?

Georgia vs. Arkansas prediction contest winner

Well Fayetteville, for the most part we fared about as well picking the score of the Arkansas vs. Georgia game as Arkansas’ defense did at stopping Georgia quarterback Joe Cox. Not very well.

Only four of you (and Jonathan from the Flyer staff) picked Georgia to win, and The Truth came closest to the 52-41 final score with his pick of Georgia 31 Arkansas 24.

Congrats to The Truth, the winner of a tailgating package for four from Sassy’s Red House. If we were good sports, we’d congratulate Georgia, too. Meh.

Thanks again to Sassy’s Red House for sponsoring our weekly score prediction contest. Up next, Alabama.

Yesterday’s Restaurant Week contest for an Indian Buffet from Ella’s probably set some kind of world record for entries in a one day. 81 comments? Nice work, Fayetteville.

Congrats to Christine, winner of the Indian Buffet Gift Certificate. Her favorite dish is one her mom makes, some “amazing turkey patty things you dip in yogurt sauce with eggplant and chickpeas.” Sounds good to me.

Thanks to everyone for entering, and thanks to Ella’s for sponsoring this contest. If you didn’t win, you can still get some Indian food at Ella’s. In fact, today’s the day.

This morning’s “I Heart John Ray” contest was a quick one. In fact, it only lasted 45 minutes.

Congrats to Heather Kendrick-Gerlaugh for scoring a pair of tickets to Thursday night’s event. Heather was actually the runner-up but since the winner had a last-minute schedule conflict come up, she became the official ticket holder.
