1. Truman B
2. UMR A
3. UMR B
4. Truman A

Highlights of this tournament include myself giving what is probably the worst neg of all time, and Seth Stanley's "buzzer throw."

They were great... other than that not really any highlights for us... we played horribly

You should have seen our lack of focus when a question in our second to last game started out "This phylum..."

I think I had 2 negs - both were geographical locations a little west of the correct answer (Ontario for Quebec and Warsaw for Kiev)

Oh, and another high point:

I had fun overall, but the lack of any seriousness killed us, you and me in particular. We played much better in the playoffs, I thought.

Ode to Joy is not a Mozart work (this wasn't an actual answer, but funny nonetheless).

I never did find my pen.

Yeah we definitely did. We kept that last game against Truman B pretty close the whole time. Still plenty of questions I had a fairly good idea on but I waited on them... not so much in the later games though

I don't think those two terms are mutually exclusive, but yeah, I'm fully aware of that.

Yes that's why I didn't care too much.

Yeah, but then I came and frakked things up, remember?

A good thing I stuck with helping broadcast a Truman Football win (they're not as rare as they were in previous years) over the airwaves and online.
