Re: Michigan State Tournament

<< Hi again... hopefully more than three of
us care about the Michigan State Tournament...

Or maybe a whole bunch of Yahoo Club
Invites need to be sent to as many MI QB coaches' e-mail
addresses as possible (via websites)


<<
Here at DCDS, we have practices (very informal) every
day at lunch, on a show-up-if-you-can basis. Nothing
formal (Coach J isn't into that kind of stuff).

That's interesting, and in direct contrast to the
policies of some of the metro Detroit quiz bowl machines.
Does CC still practice 10 hours a week, make the kids
study for 5 hours a week, and prohibit QB players from
participating in any other extracirricular activities?


<< Andy (not Alex) Goldsweig graduated (along with
his astounding stores of knowledge) last year and
went to MIT (along with 2 other members of the qb
team). >>


Long term memory, short term
recall....


<< Boy, that 1998 final was quite the title game.
First of all,
I'd like to disagree with you and say
that we were *already* well in the midst of a nervous
breakdown. Thank God they called that timeout. I was the
freshman having a nervous breakdown and desparately
praying on the sidelines. The rest, of course (3 tossups
with bonus conversions in a row, the last with time
running out), after the timeout, is history. And I don't
think my heart has recovered
yet.>>


Good--so I'm not the only one whose heartrate quintuples
during such frenetic
finishes.

<< Oh, and we just qualified for States again today
(we'd only been to two tourneys this year)... so watch
out. :) >>


Well maybe Haslett
(usually a threat to go deep into the Class B tournament
in any given year) is a bit down this year. They
were knocked out in the round of 16 on Quizbusters by
Holt, and it didn't really look like a fluke,
either.
