I agree with Patrick, I don't think it's smart to limit this to the United States. I can't say I have any good ideas for a name though. Continental Academic Competition Association? Who wouldn't want to win the CACA award? http://www.google.com/imgres?q=Facepalm&hl=en&safe=off&gbv=2&...

I think Dees coming back to Columbia (as a student-I don't think he took classes last year) could result in Mizzou moving up into the top 25.

You guys can play on my VETO packet if you want. There might also be another decent VETO packet available. We've ...

Just remembered another one- the "Secret Six" clue for the Harper's Ferry Raid. It seemed a little too early for me, but I guess that's because I've studied the Civil War in depth.

It went dead in our finals, but that's mostly because we were all high schoolers who don't care about English rulers. I wouldn't feel too bad.
