April 5, 20187 yr Discussion of games, tryouts and the like. It's all here. Next week is the College Championship. Another year with no Longhorns.
April 5, 20187 yr Glad I have a backlog on the DVR. College, high school, celebrity, and child Jeopardy! all suck.
April 5, 20187 yr It seems like there has been a rash of questionable wagering lately. A lot of people who were ahead before final jeopardy have been losing, even after writing the correct question. Many of these have been in the reruns from last year, but there have been some from the current season as well. Have the dynamics of wagering strategy changed? It should be pretty straightforward, at least for the person in the lead - assume everyone will get the answer correct, and bet enough to cover the person in second place. It seems that many are betting with the assumption that no one will get the correct question. Are there stats somewhere that indicate that this is the more likely outcome? Does Rainman post here? I'm sure he would know.

Look yer sucking at football, basketball is on life support according to some. Do you really need any more failure ? Heeeeeyyyyy ohhhhhhhh....
April 5, 20187 yr Whoa whoa whoa, before we get too far, let us not forget.... Obsession exposed... Edit: these gifs don't seem to show up for me, but do on mobile and also if "open on other tab". What gives?? Edited April 5, 20187 yr by nycHorn
April 19, 20187 yr Author Today and tomorrow are the two day finally for the college tournament. I gotta say that the FJ! for the first two semis were ridiculously easy. Terrible for determining who goes to a final for a tournament.
May 7, 20187 yr Booooo! What is the silly "scratching cat" gesture that the current champion does at every opportunity? He draws one of the letters in his name so it looks like the paw print - maybe the Cincinnati Bearcats logo? Edited May 7, 20187 yr by Prepuce of Doom
May 7, 20187 yr Author I wasn't sure i was going to be impressed with the current champ (that's on hold right now), but this Josh Hill guy is killing it.
May 7, 20187 yr Current champ is an early AI prototype. I edited my comment above - what's current champ's silly cat claw gesture? What fanbase claims such foolishness? Edited May 7, 20187 yr by Prepuce of Doom

May 31, 20187 yr When finally asked about it by Alex, his response was, "I don't know, I guess I just like tigers."
June 3, 20187 yr Author I've been catching up and just saw that episode. That tells me 2 things: 1. The guy clearly knows that being a furry is odd 2. He didn't take the time to figure out a good cover story for that that is. Rookie mistake if you ask me. He was a nice enough guy and we'll see him in the next TOC. Loved the shout out we got this week.
June 18, 20187 yr The kid whose mannerisms suggested that all he knew about human behavior was learned from observing show choirs.
June 18, 20187 yr I'm about a week behind or so, but man, fuck that one dude. Dude who was overacting for personality and trying to Arthur Chu but without the encyclopedic knowledge?
June 18, 20187 yr Author Yeah, he was annoying as shit. Spoiler alert Spoiler He won't be around long. While it didn't cost the person, it's been a while since I've seen someone pull a Clavin.
December 23, 20187 yr Author Bump, because it's been too long. And because there is the All-Star game coming up in a few weeks. Including a chance for the home audience to win some prizes. https://www.jeopardy.com/contestant-zone/all-stars-fantasy-league

February 19, 20196 yr The app where you play on Apple TV and with your iPhone is pretty impressive. Only fucked up my response once or twice.
March 2, 20196 yr The app where you play on Apple TV and with your iPhone is pretty impressive. Only fucked up my response once or twice. Sorry, what’s the app? I looked but didn’t see anything like that.
March 6, 20196 yr Very sad. Statistically he’s a goner. Anyone know somebody who has beaten pancreatic cancer?
March 6, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, South Austin said: Very sad. Statistically he’s a goner. Anyone know somebody who has beaten pancreatic cancer? Notorious RBG. Although early stage.
March 7, 20196 yr A pathologist at my med school quipped, “Advanced stage pancreatic cancer has a five year survival rate of 2% and those 2% were probably misdiagnosed.” Sad to hear for an icon of TV.
March 7, 20196 yr They should just cancel the show. Re-runs only. No one will be able to replace him.
March 7, 20196 yr Nooooooo not Trebek. Fuck my BFF and I used to watch and compete against each other a lot during our years living together. I’m truly sad and I usually don’t give a shit about celebrities
