Want to give a hearty congratulations to John, who won our annual Bracket-tacular. He’s won a $75 gift certificate to Shibe Vintage Sports and a $25 gift cert to Kermit’s Bake Shoppe. In 2nd, only one point out, was Matt B, and Charles Cliver finished 3rd, only two points out. Not surprisingly, no-one in the pool had either Kentucky or UConn in the championship game. Congrats also to Total Ownage, who finished in 50th place and thus won a $25 gift cert to Indsutry. Just shoot me a line at johnny (at) johnnygoodtimes.com to claim your prizes.

I am disappointed to say, I finished 86th out of 89. And a quick shoutout to Go Temple! Wait, What? who finished last. Despite making fairly reasonable picks, they only had 4 teams reach the Sweet 16 and zero make the Final 8, finishing an astounding 27 points behind next to last. I don’t think anyone could do that poorly if they tried. (Here’s that remarkable bracket).

Howdy, y’all! Time for a little country quiz. We’ll have questions on Southern rock, Southern cuisine, Southern literature, etc. So get your boots on and let’s boot, scoot, boogie, and answer a few trivia questions while we’re at it.

Who couldn’t use a little more sex, a few more drugs, and a whole lot more rock ‘n’ roll these days? That’s why this weeks questions will be about three of America’s favorite pasttimes (other than baseball, of course).

Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll begins tonight, and includes a round of sex questions from professional sexologist Dr. Timaree Schmit (Be sure to like Sex With Timaree on facebook to stay updated on her excellent website and podcast.) Gonna be a fun week to quiz.

An all-new concept this week at quizzo. Questions will be a combination of questions about guilty pleasures (I want to know what yours are on the Facebook page) and questions about famous criminals, court cases, shows about the law, etc. And, in questions pertaining to persons such as Judge Judy, a combination of the two.

Just wanted to give ya a heads up a little earlier than usual on when and where the Invitational will be this season. Gonna be at the Field House on Sunday, May 18th. And no, this isn’t the same Field House that used to host Jersey Shore parties. Andy from Tap House and his crew took it over a couple of years ago and now it’s a damn awesome bar, complete with bubble hockey, Pop-a-Shot, great food, and awesome beers on tap. They’ve also got plenty of room, a stage, and will hook us up with some specials for the event. More details coming soon, but for now save the date. Not set on the time yet, but it will be late afternoon/early evening (probably 5 or 6).

Here’s our scores after two weeks of the JGT Invitational. A few things of note: Inkspot leads despite not having won yet. They post on twitter each week before, during or after quizzo, and teams earn a point each time they tweet about JGT Quizzo.  It’s an easy way to start earning points. They were also helped by the fact that opening night of the Invitational was a double points night, and they wore a lot of green for St. Patty’s Day last week. That’s why teams at the top are from North Star and Sidecar. Don’t worry, teams from other bars, your time is coming. This week’s double points night is Tuesday, at O’Neals and City Tap House. 10 points for the winners, 6 points for 2nd, and 2 points for 3rd.

As for the Invitational itself, it will be held at Field House on Sunday, May 18th. More details coming soon.

If you haven’t scored yet, don’t sweat it. Tons of time to get on the scoreboard. It’s a ten week season, and lots of opportunities to score points coming up. In fact, there has just been a physical challenge posted on the facebook page. An easy way to score 6 quick points.

 

As for last week, things were so hectic, I only got a few photos and who knows where those scores are. I’ll post those team photos on Facebook.
