I'm going to Mizzou and probably dropping out partway through or something.

Likely Princeton, although I was waitlisted at Harvard/Yale, so we'll see if that turns into anything.

Georgia Tech, along with (almost certainly) the other two seniors on our team. Not sure yet if we'll be playing in college, though.

Re: Senior Destinations 2008
Knox allegedly used to have a team of some kind (at least per my girlfriend (MY GIRLFRIEND) who goes there.) Anyway, you should get their team going again. You're right in the middle of a hotbed of quizbowl activity and have a very supportive administration (at least in my experience.)JohnAndSlation wrote:Ditto for Knox College...BuzzerZen wrote:If any of you say "Hampshire College" I will weep with joy.

Re: Senior Destinations 2008
How long ago was that? Would you happen to know if anyone who was part of that still is? I started talking to people over the summer about it, but they dropped off the radar. I'll try to rope in some first-years, and anyone else I can get in contact with...I really miss playing.ImmaculateDeception wrote:Knox allegedly used to have a team of some kind (at least per my girlfriend (MY GIRLFRIEND)) who goes there.)

I don't blame you for not starting a team if you're going to transfer so soon, but if you don't mind, and if UMinn. is actually reasonably close to the (a?) Normandale campus, could you maybe see if you could get some classmates interested in tagging along? Or maybe even a staff person from student activities? Maybe you could get them acquainted and they could start their own team.Normandale CC in Minnesota, though I'll probably play with the Minnesota team if I do QB next year.
