things that suck...

Forgetting that tomorrow isn't just a JV tournament.

Lame.
2 hours of sleep.

This didn't happen yesterday, but I just haven't had the time to add it to the list.

Smithville Varsity Tournament

I definitely wouldn't say that it was the questions that made us lose. It may be just me, but I have this crazy theory that good teams will pretty much win no matter what the questions are (I say pretty much because obviously if we were playing with jv questions or similarly in the opposite directio...

Truman High School sKnow Bowl 2009

I think Truman got to play team X the very first round. Having a team x might make the bracketing easier, but the opposing teams get an automatic win, regardless of them actually winning or losing. As far as I know, the x team actually got a win. I may be mistaken though. I'm pretty much on the sam...

Truman High School sKnow Bowl 2009

Well, it's not that I think he doesn't write them. I don't mean to deny that fact. It's that his math questions are far from many, and, from my experience (which is pretty much one year), they are usually buzzer races when they are present.

Truman High School sKnow Bowl 2009

I'm not sure really what the trend of choosing horrible question writers. *cough *cough MSHSAA However, I suppose it is true that all question writers have their faults, eg. Pickrell (sp?) apparently hates math, questions galore doesn't like pyramidal-shaped questions, etc. However, some are much wo...

2008\2009 State Question Provider

I don't know, I really like Pickrelll's questions. The only thing that made him unpleasant was the lack of mathematics. I really do not like Avery at all. I suppose we'll see.

Who is everybody?

I am Michael Woods of Truman HS, class of '11. I really have no clue about which college I plan on going to. I don't think I care enough about it yet. I plan on being some sort of doctor, probably cardiologist, or maybe a teacher. Last year, I was the captain of JVA at Truman, and probably will be t...
