JGT Quizzo Power Rankings

They’re back! The power rankings have returned. Did your team make the Top 10? If not, it’s time to start recruiting nerds so you can make a run at the top spot.

1. The Jams. This team has been simply unstoppable for the past three months. There used to be parity at the Vous. Now the Jams have won the last 9 times they’ve played. One of the hottest streaks in JGT quizzo history. The bounty next week is up to $45.

2. Duane’s World. It’s a real toss up between Duane’s World and the Steak. I’m going to give Duane’s World the slight edge primarily to piss off Nate.

3. Steak Em Up. See #2.

4. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics. Two huge blowout wins (by 22 and 39 points) this week has this team looking to make a run at the top.

5. Where’s John’s Rum? O’Neals is a toss up, with the Rum winning one week, the Savage Ear winning one week, and then the two teams combining forces to win this past week. Rum gets the slight edge, primarily to piss off Todd.

6. Savage Ear. See #5

7. Peenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This team changes their name every week, but now that they’ve started playing consistently, they’ve shown they can hang with the big boys. A 2nd place finish at O’Neals this week, and an upset over Duane’s World and Steak Em Up at Black Sheep last week.

8. Magnus ver Magnusson. A win at a Jam-less Rendeavous last week, followed by a 2nd place finish this week. Their propensity for late game collapses has some voters worried, but this team is the odds-on favorite to end the Jams streak.

9. Why Can’t Us. A win at Ugly American last week, but they were apparently scared off by my threats to rap at quizzo this week and didn’t make it.

10. Team D’Brickashaw. An unheralded team thus far, but they always seem to be in the mix at the Tap House. This is a team that’s about 2 nerds away from making a run up the rankings.

ALSO RECEIVING VOTES: 1022, Inglorious Barristers, Mysterious Mr. Mapother, Pleasure to Burn, RMC Speedwagon, Are We Allowed to Use Our Blackberries, The Mood Swingers

French Fry Thursday

All new quizzo tonight at the Ugly American and Bards. We kick it off at the UA at 8 p.m. If your self esteem could really use the boost that only a quizzo win can give you, then I heartily recommend playing at UA. No dominant team, with a real shot for anybody to win.

On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. This is where you go if you want to run with the big dogs. Great beer specials at both bars.

And remember, if you’re a Tarantino fan, Koob and Kristy are hosting a Tarantino quiz at Drinker’s Old City at 8 p.m. on Tarantino films. Good night for a quiz. Hope to see ya out!

Bounty Bowl Tonight!

We kick it off at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. $3 Saranac IPAs and $2 Killian Irish Red pints. Plus the bounty is going back on the Jams. $40 prize bonus to any team that can knock off the Vous’ premiere team and finish first tonight.

On to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Had a big upset last week. Will we see another one this week? Time will tell. Kind of a tough quiz this week, but a fun one. I think it’s gonna keep things close. Hope to see ya tonight!

And quick note for Quentin Tarantino fans: there will be an all-Tarantino quiz tomorrow night at Drinker’s Old City hosted by Koob and Kristy at 8 p.m.
