After wasting about 20 minutes or so vigorously going through "Eagles" schools, I know the answer but will not post due to the douchebagery it would cast upon me.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Alabama officially has too many schools w/ Eagle mascots. A quick search of schools in neighboring counties with Eagles yielded like 6 or so, and none have so far been right. Lee said he's gonna make the post as soon as his internet gets working and assures it will be tonight.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Lee texted me earlier and we talked a bit. He said his Charter internet wasn't working so the deadline may be a little delayed or missed until it starts working again. However I will say it was definitely not the school I thought

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Yeah I'd post what I think it is but I don't want to ruin anything or look like a total idiot if I'm wrong, but the school in question is the only school around the area that has Eagles as their mascot.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Hmmm I'm pretty sure I know where he's going now unless he just defected from a Titans fan to an Eagles fan. At any rate, congratulations Lee

49-Mile Scenic Drive

We should be good on the 23rd too, I'm not aware of any other event I've committed to

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Yeah the 2nd would've been a better date for us too, I'm not too sure we can come on the 30th.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I won't send anything official yet as we don't start back until August 23rd, but we're going to try to make an effort to attend EFT this year. I'll have a talk with my teammates when we start back and then send something official.

Only if he began coaching at Arab, which may or may not happen, who knows

Assuming I have no other conflicts I'd be happy to once again come and help out by reading or in some other capacity Mr. Rutsky

49-Mile Scenic Drive

I predict that Brodie Drake Henry will win ASCA and NAQT State playing solo thus becoming the youngest person to ever accomplish such a thing.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Assuming I have a team (and I think I will), we will be there with at least one team. Just put us down tentatively as "Lee Henry's Team" until I can give more concrete information. I just want to make sure that space is reserved. Thanks, Lee I'm growing more and more curious with every po...

My status for this has been changed to questionable due to a confusing situation involving my Chemistry labs and the fact they are 30% of my final grade for the class and I can't afford to miss them. I should know definitely by tomorrow whether I will/will not be coming and if I can attend I will ha...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Dang, that is the date I'll be in Panama City.....

And you also know when you get back into coaching you'll have a vast set of alums from BMHS who will still be willing to help you out at tournaments

You should totally join my brigade I'll have if this tournament is happening. You'll get to play with 3 of your favorite players!!

49-Mile Scenic Drive

With only about 3 weeks and some change left until the "Tentative Date" for the HSNCT Mirror, is it even still happening? It'd be nice to see some type of announcement for it so I can relay information to my intended teammates so they can make plans to attend.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Russian Cage Matches you say? Sounds interesting. Anywho I'm gonna try to throw together some type of top 10 ranking for everyone. If all goes accordingly look for it to be in your e-mail in the next few days.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Could we get a field update? Also, what are the best options for parking? Unless something has drastically changed, the best place to park would be the lot by Holt and Grote. They usually hold the tournament in one of those 2 buildings. We've always parked there when we went and it's very convenien...

Holy mackerel! I assume that means that Mark wasn't playing for Snead, right? PS--ACBL is played on NAQT A sets from 1998, right? I definitely played, but I had probably the worst day of quizbowl I've had in a long while. I was quite off yesterday and group that with my teammates stepping up a bit ...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Turns out we won't be able to make this, but we will definitely be at the summer mirror of HSNCT which I hope is still happening.

Interesting...........

49-Mile Scenic Drive

As I will note in the e-mail that will be sent shortly (sent it around 9 central on 3/22 and no reply, hope it was received), we will no longer be able to come to this tournament due to various (and apparently recent) conflicts springing up within the team.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Well our status is now up in the air, but I will have a definite answer by Monday as to whether or not we'll come or in what form.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

As we usually do with tournaments held at UTC, Snead will try to make an effort to attend. Whether or not we'll be able to remains unclear at the moment, as I and my teammates will have to check our schedules. We'll keep you updated.

49-Mile Scenic Drive

2 Questions:

Has there been anymore additions/subtractions from the field? and There is a slight possibility Snead may end up not coming at all or if we do it may just be me solo, is there any type of Solo discount for MUT?

49-Mile Scenic Drive

We all certainly had a great time, and it was good finally getting to play the Chipola guys at full strength. I just couldn't let my teammates have the fact that they had beaten Chipola and I never had before. Getting to finally play Valencia was fun as well. That being said, I was very impressed wi...

I'm gonna be very curious to see Chipola's "Bulletin Board." Quizbowl trash talk makes my day

I know, we just desperately need something to put on our bulletin board so we won't feel left out, all is well

Ethan just informed me of the bowling and minigolf, therefore I issue a challenge to anyone to take me on in either. (hint: You'll probably win)

Originally I had planned to transfer to UAB/UA-Tuscaloosa this year but due to the price differential between the 4-years and Snead I'm doing the cheap thing and finishing up some Chem and Physics at Snead. After Snead I plan on going to UofAlabama or UAB with a very unlikely possibility of UAH, the...

I'm bored on a Monday so I'll throw out some predictions. As James said above Ethan and Dallin being on the same team will cancel each other out. Like most other people probably predict, I think that Charles is going to get MVP because quite frankly he will probably end up being a one-man team (no o...

49-Mile Scenic Drive

Hmmmm this is a very odd date, isn't this usually held about a month earlier?

EDIT: I can't read

49-Mile Scenic Drive

You guys are officially awesome for hosting this, put us down for 1 team and 4 buzzers again. A confirmation e-mail will follow shortly.

I thought I'd get away from Chicago once I got out of High School. Although we'll still be happy to go to ICT if we make it.

As ridiculous as this may sound, my status on playing this is in the air due to my coach deciding he wouldn't stay with us after the RR if we decided to play. If I can arrange something with Northeast (assuming some of their people play) or some other solution, I will definitely play this. I'll let...

Not that it is of any dire significance, but is there any particular reason why it lists the Snead A/Snead B round as 105-85 and neither team getting any bonus points? I don't remember the final score but it was like 285-260 or something

Well I guess you learn something new everyday. Thanks Fred!

Just wanted to say everyone from Snead enjoyed themselves yesterday. It was a nice break and I enjoyed this "fun" tournament. I wish we could've gotten to stick around T-Town longer, but the inclement weather in our area of Alabama prevented that. Props to Bama for hosting, and I hope to c...

If you would like some more teams I can always play solo if you'd like. I believe we can bring 4 buzzers for sure, with a possibility of a couple extra.
