Title: Marquette Student on Jeopardy!
Post by: chainsaw_mcgee on May 05, 2008, 12:39:50 PM: http://www.jeopardy.com/mini_sites/collegechamps_s24/gamematchups/
This Tuesday, tomorrow, May 6th.
I realize by publicizing this I am opening myself to mockery of the horribly awkward promotional materials I had to take part in as part of the tournament, but MU doesn't seem very interested in spreading the word so it looks like it's up to me.
I dunno, I know I'm mostly a lurker and haven't been around much lately but it's good free exposure for MU on national TV ;D

Thanks for the heads up.. added it to my tivo to record.

Good luck (and +1 on the warrior sweater idea)!

Yeah, we taped it almost a month ago, but I can't say anything about how it went ::)

Man... I dunno if I would have had the balls to sing the fight song solo like that... even if it weren't going to be taped :P

Congratulations on not making an ass out of yourself in your promo materials!

Post by: Marquette Mama on May 05, 2008, 03:55:12 PM: Agree -- nice rendition of Ring Out Ahoya. Your pep band experience served you well. Will be watching and (even though it's predestined at this point) pulling for you tomorrow!

Post by: Marquette Gyros on May 05, 2008, 04:05:25 PM: Congratulations... what an awesome experience. Good luck!

(Of course, since it's already been taped, that "good luck" may ring hollow, but I'll be rooting for you either way.)

Yeah, that was awkward. I basically kept saying "I don't know" to anything that wasn't about Jeopardy, and then she kind of circularly got answers out of that. No one reads the Trib anyway- except for that edition, because about an hour after the interview the whole Indiana thing went down.

Post by: Sweenz on May 06, 2008, 10:25:05 PM: AMAZING!!! I loved the blow out... clearly knew every 7 wonder of the world, with the ALL IN WAGER!

I found it advantageous to have a category of ON WISCONSIN for a Marquette grad, she got Oshkosh as the answer when the game was tight near the end.

Good luck in the semifinals!

Was there really a category of On Wisconsin on the show??? I guess Mr. Trbek doesnt know where Marquette is.

Alex Trebeck doesn't make up the questions. He just asks them.

I guess i forgot to put the second sentence in the sarcastic font. Suggestion, dont take things to literal.

Post by: Sweenz on May 07, 2008, 08:19:26 PM: Today a clue was, this Wisconsin university was the first to admit women...

What is Marquette....

The crowd cheered, but I heard some boos I think too, I replayed it 3 times and guessed there were people cheering for the word Wisconsin in the answer, but then realized it was a rival and started booing
