Three points 1. This thread was clearly started by the OP as a shameless attempt to curry favor, knowing that pretty much everyone here is partial to the fucking awesome nick gameshows. Anyone else remember U2U? That thing was so bad it was criminally underrated. 2. Cave of Size = Meredith "Hug...

Heh. He then decided to send myself, Travis, another member our team who is known to cave to Doug-pressure, and the Union Representative the link and demanded that we take it down.

The main differences between College Bowl and trash are: -At College Bowl, every single question is the worst question ever. At trash (or at least at TRASHionals), there are frequently a lot of good questions that give you some hope that the bad questions will eventually be fixed, but also make the...

Some of the scoresheets are in pretty bad and nearly illegible shape. The day two scoresheets are in worse shape than day one. So, I don't blame the staff for having errors. I don't get this, is it really that hard to keep score? Pretty much every tournament ever manages this without problems; I wo...

I would note that robin richards for SEC commish wasn't in bracket B, IIRC, the other teams were, don't know what accounts for the lack of 6 playoff matches for some non-bottom bracket teams.

Rothlover

Anthony, If you need a place to host sqbs stats, e-mail me.

Rothlover

There also isn't an online source of the UTC TRASHionals stats either, even though I recall them using SQBS (because I kept being pissed about our BC and points differential being absurd for a bottom bracket team...)

I want to make it clear that I don't have a dog in the whole Steinhice-Weiner race. Both people are fine with me. Both can be criticized fairly for things they have done.

What I don't think is acceptable is that in a post in which you bizarrely accuse Matt and others of somehow discriminating against HBCUs (which must be the most out-of-left-field thing anyone has posted in this thread), you also use what seems to me to be a synonym for "Jew." Maybe you do...

I was just throwing some ideas out there. Sorry if I upset anyone. I think we are more confounded than anything. If you made your point of view logical and clearer, some of us (myself included) might be able to respond better. Also, don't worry, Whiffle will not want from things like "the NBA&...

The suggestion that college students are less likely to have HBO/Showtime/etc is a sentiment that had some bearing on the answer selection. I don't think it really should. Most people I know own at least one season of an HBO/Showtime TV program and as one poster put it, "to a lesser extent, Bi...

Nearly 300 hits for "Great Dictator" and "Fooey," its not like its unknown. It was his title, what with it being a play on Fuhrer and all. What it was was clear knowledge equivalence getting screwed and in retrospect it should seem obvious that, at the least, a tu whose answer w...

Prelim comments: All the usual stuff about having nothing against or liking almost all the TRASH staffers and appreciating the smoothness with which the tournament ran along with all the SWAG they tried to throw in.

If one is fed up with NAQT and believe that they are not taking you criticisms and ideas seriously, I suggest trying to become a question writer.

Hey, our 4th just dropped, so we are looking for a competant 4th, with good crap tv knowledge or something. If you want to help put Weiner, myself and Lorin Burte over the top, e-mail me at humanstainremover at gmail dot com . Feel free to pass that on to anyone who might be interested.
