dallas...still hasn't changed. We always had some disagreements about mostly history and politics. Quite intelligent

Hold my own...No, that was not dallas. I know who you are speaking of and I will just say that I met him at some crap in DC one semester and he is.....interesting to say the least

-5 .... Yikes

[Cider Jim]

A team hasn't scored a -5 against us since we played the LU faculty (of 4 Ph.Ds) a few years ago.
Final score of that one: 400 to -5. Fumble was having the time of his life on our team that year.

[BJWilliams]

how in the world DO you score a -5...I thought questions were worth 10 points or something

[Cider Jim]

If a team buzzes in early and MISSES the question, it's a score of negative 5. High Point tried to answer one question, missed it, and then never buzzed in again.

They were absolutely shell shocked.

[BJWilliams]

Wow...one question and they never buzzed in again...that is nuts...at least the others made an effort to answer more questions...

[Cider Jim]

Faculty Scrimmage tonight: DeMoss 3397 at 5:00.

Faculty team:
Dr. Mark Harris, captain (English Dept)
Dr. Nancy Richardson (Chemistry Dept)
Dr. Ed Martin (Philosophy Dept)
Prof. Kris Schimmels (English Dept)
Mr. Robert Weaver (Library)

[Sly Fox]

I applaud the faculty for being willing to take on the embarassment.

[Cider Jim]

Maybe for the first time ever, the faculty team SWEPT our Quiz Bowl team, 3-0. Having a chemistry prof who knew how to do math calculations made the difference for the faculty team.

Game 1
Faculty 265
Varsity A 230

Game 2
Faculty 220
Varsity B 120

Game 3
Faculty 205
JV 195

(Fumble, we could have really used you on the students' team).

[Sly Fox]

Wow, the faculty must have put some effort into preparation this time.

[Cider Jim]

Liberty's freshman Quiz Bowl team began its 2011 season today with two big wins in Durham:

LU 140
Duke 40

LU 150
Duke 130

Two of our freshman players, Kaity Shondelmyer (NMF) and Maria Leatherwood made the all tournament team, finishing 4th and 7th in scoring, respectively.

[Sly Fox]

The future looks bright.

[Cider Jim]

Results from today's tournament at UVa:
LU 130 Va Tech 85
LU 115 Western Kentucky 110

This was our first-ever win against Virginia Tech!
(And we lost to Penn State by 5 points, which is half of one question)

[Sly Fox]

Congratulations!

[Cider Jim]

If anyone wants to see the LU Quiz Bowl in action, the Jeffrey Owen Taylor Memorial Alumni Scrimmage is scheduled forThursday at 5:00 in DeMoss 4024. Dallas Shipp's team of former captains will be playing the varsity and freshman squads that have already defeated Duke (twice) and VA Tech this year--and are playing Princeton and Penn on Saturday.

[Hold My Own]

Should be on all of our social media tomorrow Cider. I'm going to try and stop by as well. Good luck!

[Cider Jim]

Alumni Scrimmage Results (Oct. 20, 2011):

Many thanks to HMO and the alumni office for providing gifts to the Quiz Bowl alumni.

Even without our best player who had to work, LU's Quiz Bowl team still managed to earn 3 major wins at the George Mason tournament on Saturday:

LU 180, University of Maryland 140
LU 95, University of Pittsburgh 50
LU 115, George Washington University 80

For the season, that's our 4th win against an ACC school and our first-ever wins against Big East and Atlantic 10 schools.
