CBI Campus Tournament, 1.20.03
Results: Was Ist Das Rockers
(Colby Burnett, Robert Flaxman, Mike Henninger, Jan Zasowski)
You can see last year for an itemized list of reasons
why CBI sucks, so I'll just leave it that the Rockers have now won ten in a row (including
two straight with this particular lineup). Only one non-quiz bowl team showed up,
and both we and the B team mopped the floor with them. Then the B team gave us a bit
of a run for our money in the round robin game, but in the playoff game (where we had to
win by two, so we needed only to win the first one) we did better.
Favorite Tossup: I guess the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, which I
got at the start of the second sentence (or maybe second part of the first sentence) where
it mentioned their appearance in the movie Clueless.
Stupidest Tossup I Got: The very special CBI category.
In this case it would be Connecticut, as no self-respecting tossup should start
"This state is known to sports fans as the home of ESPN's studios..."
