Yeah, it's a little ridiculous. For instance, a team like Schaumburg could beat Lake Forest, Maine East, New Trier, Maine South, AND Oak Park-River Forest... and still not make it downstate. I mean, that's not gonna happen, but the fact that it COULD makes me a little mad at the IHSA. Meanwhile, the...

I think that's right on the money - what matters is the relative strength of the teams. A good team playing a bad team would be showboating, a bad team playing a good team isn't taking the game seriously. But if the teams are in the same ballpark - Maine South v New Trier for third place at Kaneland...

The fact that one of either Maine South or New Trier isn't going to Peoria already sees the state finals losing credibility. Make that five of either Maine South, Maine East, New Trier, Fenwick, OPRF, and St. Ignatius. What kills me is that at least two of those teams won't even make it to SECTIONA...

Disappointed office-seeker. Charles Guiteau shoots Garfield. I've never seen him described any other way. In Stephen Sondheim's Assassins , there's a scene where all of the assassins - Booth, Hinckley, Fromme, Czolgosz, Guiteau - try to convince Lee Harvey Oswald to shoot Kennedy. The best part of ...

While I agree that the pop culture questions were refreshing, I don't quite agree with the AMOUNT of them appearing in the tourney. Let me put it this way - specific details from Da Vinci Code (requiring specific knowledge of the work) came up in at least 5 of the eight rounds. If, say, Crime and Pu...

Yessir, it does. You are also, coincidence would have it, not a rhinoceros. But seriously... Scobowl Solo + pyramidal questions = great tourney. Major thanks to Mr. Reinstein for writing - this was fun, and i'm not just saying that 'cause of the big shiny bowl now sitting on my dishwasher. Does anyo...

Two words: deep dish. As a Chicago-area teenager, you'd think I'd have had too much of a good thing by now. But our pizza is just too good to be ignored. I'm actually on the phone with Lou Malnati's right now, ordering a large one for dinner. No joke. So yes, we have Uzbek restaurants... but don't i...

I don't know if that qualifies as a bad neg, Djibouti... honest mistake there. Related question: is this for funny-they're-so-stupid bad negs, or how-could-you-not-know-that negs, or both? Lemme put it this way: your post was Category 2. A Category 1 answer would have been either Quetzacoatl or Dan ...

The level of play was excellent. The questions were well written and overall the moderators were very good. My only complaint was that there seemed to be too many questions on the Bible and Napoleon Our team did well with the Bible questions - one of our players knows her Bible - but yeah, it did s...

I agree. I only keep track of total points on both sides (unless Coach is there), and one of my teammates usually keeps track of points by TU. I'm the aforementioned teammate... I keep track of each tossup - who (by player and team) gets it and how many points go to each team on the bonus, plus run...
