Brent: On Friday, Trivia Bowl VII took place at the Monkey Barrel in Gainesville. FCT’s most decorated team, the Buckhead Rednecks, finally added a Trivia Bowl to their trophy case (87). Congratulations all around, especially to MVP Mr. Ed Thomas, who will be inducted into the Ancient & Mysterious Order of the Tassel on Super Saturday. Muffins take 2nd (84) and #9 (82) take 3rd. Or best of the rest. Or 3rd. Other MTM teams in attendance: bobbystattoosux.com (now on the bubble), Earlliance, Denim Chicken, Pabst Playboys, Ray-Ray’s Partay, United, Bobby Brown, and Chick Filatio.

Earlliance took 3rd with 76. At Amici, Jimmy Jams took the nightcap with an impressive 113. Earlliance’s 110 takes 2nd and improves their already strong base score.
