This may very well be the tackiest message I've ever
read in a quizbowl forum. (and that's no small
achievement) It's completely inappropriate to presume a weak
field because a certain school won the
tournament.

Congrats to Justin and to the University of the South team
for a job well done. If their good play continues, we
can expect to see them as part of the strongest
fields in the country come April.
