Ends in controversy. DP ends up awarding both finalists the title and money.

Could have been a call the league office moment.

Anyone could've handled that better than DP did. The black chick got hosed.

The flaw with Dr Pepper is they had a predetermined tie-breaker

The Games would have continued until one of those girls was beheaded. Neck guts spilling out of the grotesque wound. The Victor posing for pictures by it laughing

So they had an agreed-upon tie breaker the day before and the white girl won it. How is that getting hosed?

Now would they have done the same thing if it were reversed?

Not sure how. She lost the tie-breaker and still got the 1st place payout. Dr. Pepper ignored their own rules for her.

If Dawgs repeat as National Champs, would the Games be required to awaken?

I was not aware there were tie breaker rules already in place so I retract my previous statement.

Operative words: The black chick

Would they have done what they ultimately did for the white chick? Fear of being called racist. Benjamin Crump was probably booking a flight to Atlanta as they caved.

There's no doubt in my mind.

I was at the game and wasn't a raging SJW crowd and they woulda booed the decision regardless of race.

It was a PR disaster for Dr Pepper either way.Now,if it was a white male who got hosed,who knows?

So a bunch of drunks that had no idea of the rules agreed to by the contestants were outraged about something they knew nothing about?

Sounds like drunks being drunks. DP chose their audience. You’d expect they would consider how that audience would react to various outcomes. Flavored fizzy water purveyors aren’t what they used to be. Incompetence reigns.

There was no alcohol served at the SECCG unless you had special club level seating and even then you weren't permitted to take to your seat and good luck trying to sneak booze in MCB

Nobody in the stands or watching knew the rules and Dr Pepper would've avoided a PR disaster had they announced
them when the contest went to the 2nd round. Easy enough

Betcha they do it next time or change the rules. Clay Travis on the tie breaker rules/controversy

quote:

Friday’s Preliminary Competition was on Friday. The Dr. Pepper Tuition Giveaway was on Saturday.

Why should the results from Friday determine a winner on Saturday? Put 15 seconds back on the clock and run it back over and over and over again until someone earns a win

The hotter girl won. I’ll allow it. She seemed spunky
