I'm going to post my playoff predictions for fun and to hopefully spark some conversation. Feel free to ridicule or compliment my picks, which are as follows....

I took the adult test last year and it was several months before I heard anything. I figured I had failed, but then I got something like 6 or 7 months later. This was the case for me as well. I'm not sure if the college/teen tests are processed any faster, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting to h...

I like a lot of Seth's points (How can one not, really?). It's important to distinguish between the packets written by people new to the game and people who should know better. For the sake of the former, the criticism should have a bit of a softer tone, and it should be made clear that there's no m...

I'm somehow not at all suprised that every successive VETO sucks more than the one before it. So, does it eventually (2010) reach a stunning critical mass of quizbowl suckiness? Does it then collapse upon itself and become a black hole? I think the last VETO will be held on December 21, 2012 and th...

SEC fans crybabies? Last year all those Big 10ers were aching for a rematch but fortunately common sense prevailed and Florida showed that Urban Meyer could coach well enough to destroy the Big 10 champ. Whether that can happen again this year is a matter of speculation, but I would hesitate to dis...

I'm not a big fan of dog fighting or anything, but I just don't understand why doing it makes someone a bad person. Dog are dogs. And I like dogs a lot, but people who watch them kill each other are pretty far down my totem pole of hatred. It's pretty fucked up. edit: wait, are you retarded? I mean...

I hate to pull rank or something here, but given that this is an Illinois thing: Does Illinois even have a "Columbia High School"?

Also, I don't think that mythology ranks important enough to have its own category. Certainly I wouldn't want a round with three myth questions, and I wouldn't want a whole tournament with no myth questions, but once a round/once every other round seems fair, IMO. I know my view on this is consider...

I want to go on record as the first person in this forum to bet on the Mariners in the AL West. Feel free to go on record as the last one too. Does anyone who watched the All-Star Game want on the bandwagon? I'd rather have the Mariners come out of the AL West than the Angels, so ride on, man!

Bob Evans' demise was one of the more underratedly sad deaths of the past month. Bob Evans died?! This makes me almost as sad as when I heard Dave Thomas died.

I don't mean to disparage any of the teams who performed well at the NAC. I was just pointing out that the top of the field at HSNCT is clearly stronger than the top of the field at the NAC sectionals as it has been increasingly so over the last few years. I see this as a good sign that NAQT and PAC...
