Funny things in Practice, etc.
Oh yes... at the Savannah tournament during lunch there was a spider walking across the floor at Subway, and Michael wouldn't step on it, so we ended up learning all of his phobias, so while we were practicing on the bus, Ryan yelled "LOOK, a flying snake!" and he actually looked back! And...

What's your favorite method of studying?
I have tried several methods, and I personally am not a big fan of studying straight from lists (especially when they're paragraphs and you can't cover the answers very effectively) I have had Ryan quiz me a lot on the way to tournaments; last year I made a javascript flashcard type game that was a ...

Yet again, no team shirts for us (it's not like we all remembered to wear them every tournament... thanks Michael). At least you won't be seeing us in t-shirts and jeans.

Last year the Varsity "don't know" answer was McCarthy, and JV's was Yom Kippur. I know there are some pretty pathetic answers we've given. I know one time in practice I said "Laclede" instead of (John J.) "Pershing"... sometimes knowing too much can screw you up. Anoth...

No that's just the name Kyle wanted to give it. I don't think the land they're buying for it is in Shoal Creek Valley... it's going to be Liberty North or something similar, but of course it won't be opening until 2010 or so.

Which champion from last year is most likely to be
At districts I gave a radius instead of the diameter they were asking for and the whole team got mad at me, then Dane did the same exact thing the next round (I learned from my mistake and wrote DIAMETER!!!! in huge letters on my scratch paper every time for the rest of the day)
