I'm headed to USC next year and I haven't seen their team playing in any tournaments recently, but I'd like to at least get a taste of college quizbowl. I know Thomas Gaddy from Blair is also going there so hopefully we could get something going.

If Blair actually shows up to things, I would predict them to be maybe a little better than Whitman. I think their best player(Daniel Hafner) is a rising senior, and our B team beat them on the final question twice, while our A team actually lost to them once.

First they kill the nuns (using school buses); then, they kill the monks (using golf carts).
