I'm going to try and give everyone a short history lesson about the team, but first I have a confession to make. The excitement from June 2nd is still hard to contain. Just typing out the post title made me smile all over again! As a team, we've been playing for 4.5 years of trivia. We started out playing by chance and then returned again and over the years there have been many of the guys (male and female) who have played at different times. We've played different locations in AL & TN. Over the years as we play we have come so close to a perfect score as to only miss a 2 or 3 point question. Once we were doing Awesome all the way up to the Final Question and blew it. So as the game went on and we continued to get every answer correct, the excitement was growing. As a general rule, I try not to get overly excited about most things. But I was unable to contain it by the last part of the game. The guys I was playing with were the BEST! Wait, I mean, they ARE the best! On the team that night was: Anthony, Mike, Nick, Owen and myself.
Well I will get on with the Q & A part of the post now.

AZ has the most in the world, if I remember that correct. However you may want to look that up and see if I'm right or not.
Now before we do anything else, it's score time!
In 3rd right now is "Doesn't Matter" with 69 points
In 2nd, Team Buzz with 74 points
We are alone at the top!!!! At this point, I have no focus myself, yet all the confidence in the world in these guys to pull this off. It's difficult to sit still and I'm thankful that I haven't had anything with sugar in it today!
Presidents: Who was the only man to serve both as President of the United States and Supreme Court Justice?
Congratulations to each of you. You have just read through the making of History for our Team!

A note about this team. We have been playing against them for more than a year now, if I recall correctly. They played against us in other locations as well. Always an honest team and I need to find out a little more about them before long. I can say without a doubt, they are a good team. When we see them, I know it's going to be a night of fun competing with them.
In 3rd place was "Hooker" and they jumped from near the bottom to 3rd on the final question. beating out 2 other teams to take the win.
** Please note that I don't take much time to write out the entire name of teams, I write 1 or 2 words in the name and I go with it. So the team names might not be exact to what they wish to be known by. I'd say that I will do better about that in the future, however, I have NO plan to do that. I'm happy with the simple part. So if you want the name right in future blogs, keep it simply for me.** end of disclaimer...lol.
Last yet certainly not least. I'd like to say Thank You so much for the prizes that Sidelines gives away at each game. Take a moment to visit and Like them on Facebook
That's it for me. It's another night of trivia, because it took me a week of trying to find time for the blog. See you all again tonight, where we will bring our A game to win a 2nd week in a row!
