The difference between #quizbowl teams that are ready to improve or stagnate? Stagnant teams lose and ask how the opponent knows so much. Improving teams ask how _they_ can know what the opponent knows. This is why, for coaches, getting out of the comfort zone is important.

Although I'm sure it's a good quizbowl Saturday morning somewhere, I am otherwise engaged today. I've supported LFC for 20 years; today, I go to Anfield to watch a match for the first time. It's a bit mad to do this as a weekend trip, but opportunities must be taken. :)

His best game? 9-11-0 for 245 (23 tossups played). I think it's the highest single game score in any competition I've ever run. According to NAQT, it would be in the top 75 of all-time. #quizbowl
