So much for a nice easy relaxing day of SIQ. STATS (DJ) calls me about 5:30 and says he hasn't heard from HUTCH (David)...so let's plan on playing at the Riverview BWW. Cool...nice easy ride...good service...gonna be a good night! About 6:45, my phone lights up (it was on the charger) and I have a voicemail from STATS. That's weird...the phone didn't even ring. He says call me...STAT! I call him back and HUTCH has now called and wants to play at University BWW. Can I make it down there? Yeah...but I'll be pushing it. STATS says don't worry...we'll have the boxes ready and waiting. The whole trip down 75 I get to think about my flat tire from the prior week. About 5 miles before the exit, there is a truck overturned in the median. Great...this is not going to be a good night! I end up getting there in plenty of time (a few extra miles on the Cruise Control? Who me?? ). I sit down...and wait...and wait...and wait...and wait some more...and wait...and wait...and wait some more. Finally the one server that has taken care of us the last two weeks comes over and I ask for my usual beverage of choice and 4 game boxes. "Do you have ID?" Excuse me? This is REALLY not going to be a good night. Of course STATS and HUTCH are about falling off their bar stools laughing...STATS even wishes he'd get carded. So much for paying attention to your regular customers! Anyways...HUTCH's son SHUA (Joshua) has joined us again for SIQ as his training continues.
Round 1...going smoothly til Brittney Reese (sp) comes up. STATS and I were leaning towards Long Jump...HUTCH sternly says 200m. I change to it...STATS stays as is. Rest of round is smooth. 30/30.
Round 2 starts with Al Kaline. As the pic is revealed...I go Kaline...3.4/5. ML seasons...STATS and I go 18...HUTCH and SHUA are on 16. 0/5. Carl Lewis comes up...and STATS precalls it based on the 9 gold medals. 5/5. Where did he go to school? I'm thinking somewhere in Texas (A&M maybe)...luckily Houston is the only school in Texas. 5/5. Who's an offensive guard? Of the choices...it's gotta be Logan Mankins...even though I thought he came in as a center. 5/5. Now where did he go to school? USC...Notre Dame...I think BC. Year in the NFL? Hmmm...STATS and I go 2005...HUTCH and SHUA were on 2001...but quickly changed to 2005. 5/5. 23.4/30 for the round...53.4/60 for the game.
Round 3 starts and I lose .3 on Nail Yakupov as STATS says NB...or so it sounded to me and HUTCH A little slow on Baltimore Orioles...4.3/5...though the i did not take on 3 of my boxes. Marc Leishman...5/5 as STATS and HUTCH said it at the same time. I get European Grand Prix...5/5. A little slow on Justin Gatlin...4.4/5...slow again on 3 of my boxes (dang BWW lag! ). Really slow on Charlotte Bobcats...3.6/5...as HUTCH says he knew Maggette went the other way in the trade. Slow on Melky Cabrera...4/5. Ottawa Senators (thanks to BT question a few weeks earlier that I screwed up on...got you this time BT!), Clint Bowyer, and Lebron James all 5/5. 46/50 for the round...99.4/110 for the game. I say there goes our 200 game by .6. HUTCH says "so there's 100 points left"? Yeah...40 on the year round...60 on matching. HUTCH says 40 points on the year round is a tough one to get as you have to get it all on the first clue. Ya think Einstein?
Round 4 starts...1997...STATS and HUTCH both say it right away. 5/5. 1984 was 2/5 as we were on 1985 until the Redskins/Raiders clue. 2003 is HUTCH...5/5. 1955 was 4/5 as I went to 1956...HUTCH and STATS said 1955 on the golf clue. 1998 and 2004 were STATS's call...5/5. 1979 was 5/5. 1963 was 3/5 as I was on 1964until the Staubach clue. 34/40 for thed round...133.4 for the game. HUTCH gets a 36/40 for this round and takes the lead. I say see...it's not that hard . Nice round sir!
Round 5 starts with college football bowl game with the city. We back into the first answer...12/12. Sport with athlete to gold medal won? 12/12...except STATS's bus makes an appearance and it's only passenger is HUTCH...who is busy talking and fat fingers one of the answers...and ends up duplicating a choice. Saves leader with team in 2004? I say I got this one...12/12. Player with # scoring titles? Well $h!t....there's the tough matching one of the round. A big fat 0/12. Tennis first and last names? 12/12 to end on a good note. 48/60 for the round...181.4 for the game. HUTCH should have been the winner.
As we're waiting for the rankings to come up, HUTCH says we're # 2...maybe # 3. STATS says he's not saying anything based on his guesses tonight. I say #4 as I think the scoring titles got us. Drum roll....we're # 3 as a bar and I'm # 3 individually. Not bad for what I thought was going to be a bad night. Congrats to SHMEKL and the krewe at 86th St on the overall and individuals wins last night...nicely done! Just behind is SLOTEK and the Mezzanine krewe for second individual and overall.
Congrats to the usual suspects SHMEKL, SLOTEK, MEGUMI, NASCAR, L PATO (Jorge), MAAAAA, BLJAYS, UOWEME, STUTZ, BO, TNC, JIMBOB, BEERMN, HUNK (who was at O Shucks)....and anyone else I missed. Usual locations as well...86 St, Mezzanine, Runyon's, Hooters of Tallahassee, Walshs Bar, JP Shakers, Stadium Cafe, Primetime, Hooters of Springfield, BWW Cincinnati, Blue Goose, Slapshotz, Broken Barrel, BWW Kent, BWW Ironton, BWW West Mifflin, the myriad of other BWWs, and any other locations I missed. I'll look at the West feed once it's up. Great game all!
