Fresh off his show at the Belmont Hotel last night, musician Rhett Miller handily beat Jeff Cheney, the mayor pro tem of Frisco in our tournament. The margin was 429 to 303. Cheney was quick with the excuses:
I was certainly hit by a train today. Rhett distracted me by having me download all his albums from iTunes. He may have a future in music. I knew the game was over when i had to play “bro” as the opening move.Thanks for the tourney. I had a blast!I was certainly hit by a train today. Rhett distracted me by having me download all his albums from iTunes. He may have a future in music. I knew the game was over when i had to play “bro” as the opening move.
But Rhett says it was a closer match than the score suggests:
I got lucky and started rolling. I never had a bad rack. Most of the S’s, both blanks at once, a TLS for the Q.Â
I had a T left in my rack when Jeff resigned. I guess that cost me a few points on my final score, but I got no beef with the guy. It’s no fun losing.Â
I must admit that I was inspired by a tweet from a Friscoite suggesting people follow me in order to gloat when I lost. I hope they don’t unfollow me now that I won.
Miller advances to our semifinals on Wednesday. Jump for the final board.
