Gang Signs and Prayer is the new album by Stormzy, a British grime rapper. It's different from what I've heard a lot of recently, and I find it really refreshing and one of my favorite albums so far this year.

Saw the name and was hoping it was going to be a tournament about fights.

Hey, this tournament definitely didn't play to my strengths, but it was a fun tournament and I enjoyed playing it. Thanks for putting it together!

I just wanted to say that I'm really glad this thread exists - if I could go back and do high school and college again, I'd definitely still play quizbowl, but I'd make sure not to lose sight of my other hobbies as well. Now that I've graduated and withdrawn from quizbowl a little bit, I've gotten b...

Hey, this tournament was really fun - thanks to UConn for hosting and Erik et al for writing a really fun set.

When MSU went, we stayed in a hostel at Amsterdam and 103rd. I found the hostel to be reasonably priced and fairly pleasant, not anything super crazy but clean and friendly, just bring earplugs. It is within walking distance of Columbia and a bus stop for the M60 bus that runs directly between LaGua...

If you lose a game, you lost, and you should be "punished" for it. I've never understood why so many quizbowlers want to just forgive losses to teams that aren't even good enough to make the top bracket, and on the flip side, wipe out a win over a team in a better playoff bracket.

12. Have a fallback plan. At some point in your graduate school experience, whether it's after the first year, first class, midway through, or in the ABD/post graduate phase, you might end up leaving grad school/academia for whatever reason. You need at least an idea of a fallback plan, particularl...

On My Mind / Ellie Goulding. I love Lights and despised every other song on her debut album. Ex's and Oh's and On My Mind are slowly changing my mind about Ellie Goulding. Ex's and Oh's is a good song, but I didn't realize it was great enough to change your mind about a musician who was in no way i...

Hey Kurtis, could you do me, Sid, and Morgan a favor and not post stats for this event? Thanks.

There was a lot of great music across genres this year, but one album I really want to recommend is Masterpiece by Big Thief. It's their debut album and the first time I hear its title track I was just blown away. The album feels like a scrapbook, where every song is an intimate glimpse into someone...

These questions were at times iffy, but I had a lot of fun playing them and appreciate the efforts of the authors to shed light on some of the most important mysteries of our time.

I wonder if they considered Beyonce or Tupac? Mike, I'm glad that you recognize that Tupac is alive in Cuba.

This is kind of tangential, but people need to realize that contract terms are just the same conditions of employment as duties and pay and negotiable as such, preferably in consultation with a lawyer. If you aren't comfortable signing a contract, you shouldn't sign it. I think Bunnie's situation of...

Is there any chance of this being extended to Skype? That's cool if not but I'd love to play if so.

- We did not let tossups extend into the 10th and 11th lines outside of the finals. We blew up the font to be BIG this year due to a lot of moderator errors which I thought came from the font size.

Remember that, for the Honors College, it's primarily a soft recruiting event. They see teams waiting on byes as a positive, since it gives them time to explore campus, Grand River, etc. I'd encourage you to plan for that in any proposal you make - they don't really care where questions come from, b...

I will be landing at DTW at about 9:00 on Friday - since the next bus doesn't leave until 10:30, if any staffers or teams are planning on heading from there to the hotels on the south side of town around that time and want to split an uber, let me know.

I find the songs in Shakespeare plays to be generally better-integrated into the structure of the play than the ones in most musicals, although at times, yes, I do wish there were fewer songs.
