It was a dark and very mild (so not-so-stormy) night at Network Brewery. The drinks were flowing and the $1 tacos from the truck outside were being consumed when I, the newest Quizmaster to this humble abode, arrived to instill knowledge unto a mostly unsuspecting crowd.
In addition to Our Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem, the usual Tuesday night game this week was host to four new teams as well as the house team (I Thought This Was Speed Dating...which was either a confession or a clever group name). Several teams jockeyed for first place as the various coins, mice, and wheelchair-bound mutants took their toll. But a strategic use of the Double or Nothing in Round 6 propelled I Thought This Was Speed Dating into first place and there they remained, using their expert knowledge of past Heisman winners to correctly identify nine out of thirteen possible first round draft picks to win the night!
Due to their status as the house team, however, I Thought This Was Speed Dating were ineligible to receive the prizes, so the next three teams were the de facto winners for the evening. Congratulations to Our Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem, Ram Rod (who were celebrating a birthday!), and Team Google on their hard-earned wins. Special props to the latter two teams since this was all of their first times visiting Network Brewery!
Shout out to some particularly inventive answers in Round 7 (the Heisman draft pick round):
- Random Euler Products: Dude, That Dude, Rude Dude, and That Other Dude
- Team Google: Helmet McShoulderpads
Great job tonight, everybody!
