Re: Tell me more about the Legend
that is Subash Maddipoti. I was very much intrigued and inspired by what I found on his qbwiki article: "Noted NAQT studying machine who built himself up from the fourth-best player on his own team to the best player in the country between January and April of 2000, when he led Illinois to an ...

Re: Nationals bling and tchotchkes...
Today's spelling word is tchotchke . There are lots of times when coaches or teams tell me that they liked going to nationals because of "the experience." Part of that experience included (in my history) the tchotchkes you got from the tournament organizers from T-shirts and pens to the b...

I wonder if there is any other single school system that will have 5 schools represented at Nationals? Gwinnett County, GA will have five different school here this year.

Can you really compare the quality of the Field Museum and Art Institute of Chicago to the museums in New York and Washington, the latter of which houses the largest museum complex in the world. Yes?
