Historical Week for the Country...and the Big Trivia Show!

Hello New Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show!

I want to start off this entry with a special note of thanks to Curtis Earth for filling in for me at Rivals and Copper Rocket this week as I took an extended weekend up to our nation's capital. I was one of the 40,000 other Steeler fans to rock Fed Ex Field and cheer my favorite team on to a resounding victory over the host Redskins much to my wife's dismay. You see, we are in a "mixed marriage". I am a Steeler die hard, while she is a Redskins die hard.

Trust me, after the game, the only one that "died hard" was me!

Thanks Curtis!! Great job as always!!

What a week huh? History was made this week as "We The People" elected our very first African American President. For that, we should be proud that another barrier has been broken. However, now its time to focus on what our country needs. From this point forward, the race of our president becomes secondary. Its his policies that should become the focus, just like every other president before him.

Congrats to President Elect Obama! Now don't let us down!!

Remember, the content of your character is even more signifigant than the color of your skin.

It wasn't just the election that made history this week. A Big Trivia first was also accomplished this week. As loyal players of the BTS can attest, achieving a perfect score in Round 3 is not impossible, but its pretty doggone hard to do. Others have accomplished it, but much like a Blue Moon, it doesn't happen very often. When it does, it should be recognized.

As Paul Harvey would say, "and now....the rest of the story". On Thursday nights at Coasters, we have a three point extra credit question in our game called the "Big Think". This question is not impossible to answer, but the chances of achieving the right answer is are slim. I give each team an ample amount of time to answer this question as it is submitted towards the end of Round 2 with an answer due by the end of Round 3. The question was.....What does the Average American change every 13 years? As you can see, not an easy question.

Well, much to my surpise, not only did this week's BTS Team of the Week answer the Big Think (Careers is the answer), but also managed to answer every question in Round 3 correctly! This, along with the Phraze That Payz, earned this team an overall score of 80! To my knowledge, this is the highest score ever acheived in the history of the BTS!

This team of bright minds is one of the two enshrined in the BTS Hall of Fame. Now you see why.

Congrats to our BTS Team of the Week!! I Peed In Your Pool!
You truly outdid yourselves and the bar continues to go up!
