Once I hear back from these teams, I will have a better idea of which wild card teams will get an invite. If you are one of the four teams above and you want to play, hit me up as soon as possible. (And if I missed you on this list and you think you made the cut, let me know.) Thanks!

The Battle of Verdun


We had a question about the Battle of Verdun this week. It was inspired when I came across this video on Veteran’s Day. A really fascinating look at the battle, WWI tactics, and life in France at the time. There are 4 parts to the video, so it runs about 35 minutes, but it is extremely compelling. Worth a watch if you’re a history buff. Also, I cannot recommend enough the book All Quiet on the Western Front. Perhaps the best war book I’ve ever read. Just heartbreaking, and really brings to life the horror of WWI. The paperback is 95 cents on Amazon. Get yourself a copy.

Bounty Bowl Tonight


We kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m. If you want to play this Sunday, this may be your best shot to win. Not to mention that there is a $25 bounty on Mysterious Mr. Mapother, meaning winning team tonight walks with $75. Not bad at all. Action starts at 8 p.m. On to the City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. $100 gift cert for the winners. Hope to see ya tonight.

Yee-Haw! Sour Mash to Perform at JGTAI on Sunday


We’re going to get on down at City Tap House on Sunday with the bluegrass sounds of Sour Mash. Fun band. Gonna be a great time. Hope to see ya there. And remember, if you haven’t earned an invite, it’s not too late. You can earn one at wild card week by finishing first or second. I’d say your best chances are tonight at O’Neals and Thursday at Ugly American, though to win at O’Neals you gotta knock off the red-hot Mr. Mapother.

Wild Card Week Starts Tonight

The results are in and will be posted soon. Invites will go out tomorrow morning. If you are not in the Top 16, however, do not despair. There is still hope. There is still wild card week. If you can finish in the money at any quiz this week, you will be offered an invite to attend the JGTAI this Sunday at the City Tap House. Quiz will start at 5:30 p.m., and we’ll be taking on teams across the country. More details coming throughout the week. Gonna be a lot of fun.

We start at the North Star at 7 p.m., where for the past two quizzes the team who call themselves “We Always Finish 4th” have indeed finished 4th (above). Can they make it three in a row? And can you finish in the Top 2 and earn an invite? Half off mussels and hummus, and $3 Kenzos.

On to the Sidecar at 9:15 p.m. Can you knock off the Sidecardigans?

French Fry Thursday; Bonus JGTAI Points Tonight

Our LAST NIGHT of the JGTAI. If you hope to earn an invite when I send them out this weekend, you better make it out tonight. As an added incentive, I’ll give you this: tonight only a win will be worth 8 points, 2nd place 4 points, and 3rd Place 2 points. If you are on the fence and want to earn the invite and compete against cities across the country next Sunday afternoon, then tonight is a must play quiz. We start at Ugly American at 8 p.m. $3 fries and $2 Lagers. On to Bards at 10:15 p.m. $2.50 Lager Lights and $3 fries. Hope to see ya tonight!

Bounty Bowl Tonight

What you thought a little snow was going to keep the quizmaster home tonight? Please, last week we did quizzo in a hurricane. We scoff at snow.

All new quiz tonight. No election spectacular (though we’ll probably have a round on Presidents in one form or another). Just a good old fashioned quiz. We kick it off at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15. $25 bounty on the Jams, who are on fire right now. $3 Redhook Wits, $2 Rolling Rock cans. On to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m., where we’ll see if you can knock off Duane’s World. New specials each week. Hope to see ya tonight!
