Month: December 2011

It’s a Wonderful Quiz Starts Tonight

It’s that time again. Time for a wonderful annual tradition, the JGT Holiday Extravaganza. There will be questions on Christmas movies, Christmas songs, Christmas holidays, as well as a Hanukkah question or two just to convince Conservatives that I am part of the War on Christmas. We kick it off tonight at the North Star Bar at 7 p.m. We will have one quiz this week, unless I get 3 or more teams that want to play again on Thursday. And I’ll be wearing some very special outfits courtesy of the JGT “Christmas Collection”. And I might have an ugly sweater or two to give away as well. Hope to see ya tonight!

You Make the Call Thursday: What Should Our Wild Card Round Be Tonight?

Once again this week, it’s up to you. You tell me what the Wild card, 50/50, Speed, Music or Picture Round should be tonight. Post it in the comments and let me know what you wanna see. We start at Ugly American at 8 p.m. $3 fries, $2 Lagers, and $1 corn dogs. That’s tough to beat. We move to Bards at 10:15 p.m. $3 Fries and $4 for 20 oz Harps, as well as $2 Lager Light bottles. Hope to see ya tonight!

The JGT Power Rankings Return

Ok, they’re back. Sorry I’ve been such a slacker the past few weeks, but this will get us caught up, and I’ll try to keep these going and in the future post them on Mondays. Standings are based primarily on performance over the past month.

1. Steak Em Up (City Tap and Bards). No surprise here. They’ve already won twice this week and have been on fire since their Autumn Invitational win. Nobody is even close.

2. Jams (Locust Rendezvous). Incredibly, we’ve had so much parity lately that only one team besides besides Steak Em Up has won more than once in the past 3 weeks. That team is the Jams, who have won two out of 3 at the Vous. Can they make it 3 of 4 tonight?

3. Mister Lippers (O’Neals). A dramatic come from behind win last night, making it 2 wins in the past month at O’Neals. They also teamed with the #4 team to finish 2nd at the Spring Invite.

4. Missing Heads (North Star). Two wins in the past month, they have established themselves as the team to beat at North Star.

5. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). Duane’s World got hot in November (3 wins in 4 weeks) but have cooled off in December, as they’re still looking for their first W.

6. Philliez Nutz (Bards). In the midst of a fairly monumental streak, they have finished 2nd at the Bards for 4 consecutive weeks. Got to give them credit for consistency. They also finished 3rd at the Invite.

7. Ruby Tuesday (Ugly American). 2 wins in the past month and a 4th place finish at the Invitational makes them the team to beat at UA.

8. Wee-Beys Kids (Ugly American) Almost knock off the Steak two weeks ago, then come in last week to the Ugly and take first place. This is a team on the rise.

9. Some Douche Stole My Bike (O’Neals). A 2nd place finish at Black Sheep last month plus a win at O’Neals last week gets them into the mix.

10. Angel’s Pujols (Bards). Every once in a great while, this team jumps up and makes some noise at the Bards. Last week was one of those great whiles.

11. Gobblers (Black Sheep). A big win last week at Black Sheep for these regulars. Can they keep the momentum going this week?

12. Magnus ver Magnusson (Locust Rendezvous). A first and two thirds over the past 3 weeks at the Vous, they remain the most consistent team at the Vous not named the Jams.

Quizzo Tonight

Back in business tonight, and it looks like there will be no monsoon like there was last Wednesday.* Hoping we get a good crowd tonight. Action starts at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m., then moves to Black Sheep at 8 p.m. $2 Pabst 16 oz. and $3 Peronis at the Vous, and a new special each week at the Sheep. There will be a science round, so be sure to get a science geek on your team.

*Btw, I do want to thank everybody who came out last Wednesday night. You people are nuts awesome and I appreciate you coming out on such a miserable night. Needless to say, we had light crowds due to the weather, but geesh, the fact we had anybody at all is amazing to me. Thanks.
