Penn State-Pitt results
Doug O'Neal
Friday night in the First Annual(?) Pitt-Penn State College Bowl
Challenge, the homestanding Nittany Lions defeated the visiting Panthers
in four of the
six games. Here's a summary of the match:
Game Penn State Pitt Pack written by
1 150 75 MIT
2 235 110 Princeton
3 140 350 Penn
4 255 140 Cornell
5 90 170 Swarthmore
6 145 125 Virginia
The top scorers were Penn State's Greg Duke with 35.0 and Mike Hill with
20.8. Nigel (I don't know his last name) of Pitt scored 20.0 to lead a
well-balanced team. The teams were virtually even in tossups answered
and bonus conversion stats, but the big difference in the match was in
penalties, Pitt taking 25 -5's in the match compared to only 9 for Penn
State. As Dicky V. would say, "Turnovers will kill you baybee!"
We hope to make this an annual regionals-preparation event. Thanks again
to all who provided questions, especially Guy of GW for several packs
from their recent tournament.

Somebody on my team thought about having a similar caring-sharing
program for schools in NYC and adjacent counties in the tri-state area. We
were thinking more along the lines of a monthly practice/info-exchange. We'd
have to take turns hosting, and we'd need to share packets/buzzers, but on the
whole, we could do nothing more than improve the quality of our collective
teams. Also, we could use help organizing our Columbus Day weekend
invitational.
If other schools have this type of program, please send me input on how
this worked, benefitted/adversely-affected participating teams.
Warmly,
