I was waiting for this category to fully judge Buzzy. It played last in the J! round. Suspicions were aroused. Hurricanes = Miami and Ducks = Oregon. I said aloud after Buzzy got those, "That doesn't mean anything" about his sports knowledge.
Jeanne got Nebraska. Proves nothing as Lincoln is a giveaway. $800 was Tiger Deshaun Watson. Aha, that will prove something as I rang in with Clemson. As I finished it hit me that it could have been Auburn for all I knew. Before it officially became a TS I also thought of LSU.
And then the dead giveaway. $1000: 2006: Troy Smith, perfect against arch-rival Michigan
Buzzy's Michigan St. to rebound for Andrew with The Ohio St. had me wishing for that to be the difference in the end. Not to be. Buzzy cleanly outplayed Andrew building up a nice (not insurmountable) lead converting all of the Daily Doubles.
The FJ! category was the Taylor Swift song, "I Knew You Were Trouble". The clue proved it as I had nothing better to write than Ben Gay. I pictured it as hyphenated and eliminated the mark to at least get two words. I looked after the show and discovered it is now (since 1995) Bengay.
Even with multiple choice I can't guarantee I get snake oil. Just not my kind of clue even though I'm familiar with the term from TV shows and movies set in the 1800s.
Well done by the players to go 3/3 on a category that had me thinking advantage trailer.
Interesting to see the earlier posts in the thread about a potential black hat ringer tomorrow. Can't wait to see the game.
