Any word on stats?

Stats are now online on our Team website:

<http://www.orgs.utulsa.edu/academicbowl/tournaments.htm>

In short, four teams competed in GARBAGE Southwest, two from Oklahoma, one of OSU Alums, and one house team. In the end, the house team (Alcoholics Synonymous) won the tournament with a 7-2 record. It should be noted that all of the teams averaged at least 215 PPG and 18 PPB.

I really enjoyed the set, with the exception of a few repeats. But overall, this is what a regular trash tournament should be like. I hope that GARBAGE becomes a mainstay of the circuit in the future. I, for one, would be willing to help out in editing in the future.

Thanks.

Thanks for posting stats Angelo. Congrats on your win. I too had a great time at the tournament. I was excited to hear some of my favorite things come up in questions. I can't wait until the next one!
