Trivial Trivia

06/17/2025

In what was a tight semifinal until the end, a couple of teams pulled away and we now have our Season Nine final set! Luigi's Mansione 3 advances after putting Simple Minds to bed and My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem took the entire night's prize and likewise move on! Drinking Team has won the overall prize for both nights of the tournament but can they do it one more time?

My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem is looking for their record fourth overall tournament title and Luigi's Mansione 3 is looking for their first. Regardless, this week will make Trivial Trivia history.

Shoutout to TERF Stompers who had a fantastic season, winning two weeks, and had a real shot at the title. I have zero doubts they'll be a top-tier team in the fall when we pick up Season Ten.

As a reminder, we'll return in late August or early September, so stay tuned here for updates.

Appropriately, our final theme for the season is...EMPIRES! Who will rise and be crowned? Who will falter and be conquered? Bring your friends, your loved ones, and randoms off the street because this should be a battle for the ages.

See y'all at MB Lounge at 7pm on Thursday (to secure your spot!)! Trivia starts at 7:30.

With a surprise no-show by MUNDO DE GUANTES (emphasis on my accent) and a surprise re-visit by Pamela Anderson Should Never Have Gotten Plastic Surgery, our field was set last week and unsurprisingly, My Drinking Team Has A Trivia Problem was back to true form. They know how to rise when it counts!

Our semifinal is now set and big shoutout to Simple Minds, who visit it for the first time! Only two teams will make it to the final, but who will it be?

As a reminder, we'll play a normal three-week tournament and then take a break for the summer. We'll return in late August or early September, so stay tuned here for updates.

And now for something completely different: this week's theme is...MONTY PYTHON!

That'll be enough of vacation...it's time to get down to business. We must choose our Season Nine champion.

For the first time ever, Luigi's Mansione 3 has officially secured the season's TOP SEED! Last time, though, our weekly winner was the TERF Stompers, who secured their second-straight victory.

As a reminder, we'll play a normal three-week tournament and then take a break for the summer. We'll return in late August, likely either the 21st or the 28th, so stay tuned here for updates.

For the tournament, (up to) eight teams qualify for the quarterfinals. If we don't get that many, we'll have a number of byes until we get only four teams moving on to next week's semifinal.

This week's theme is...DOG BREEDS! This one could be ruff.

Last week, I said Luigi's Mansione 3 was unstoppable and I was wrong! The TERF Stompers got their first win of the season and absolutely LAUNCHED themselves into second-place overall. Despite their five-week win streak being broken, Luigi's Mansione 3 has officially secured the #1 seed in the tournament! Huge, huge season for them.

In terms of scheduling, here's a reminder: we'll play our final regular season match this Thursday, take a two week break, and then play a normal three-week playoff. Given the small turnout this season, several teams are likely to receive a bye going into the second round - so these seeds matter!

Next week's theme is...CETACEANS! So put that in your blowhole.

Yes, I'm late. Final grades were due this week. -_-

They're unstoppable. Luigi's Mansione 3 has won FIVE consecutive weeks in one of the most impressive streaks we've ever seen at MB, and has now won more than half of the weeks in Season Nine.

Can they be stopped? Will tonight be the night?

It's also worth noting Simple Minds has finished second for their second-consecutive night. They're in third place overall on the season - best-ever season for them!

Tonight's theme is...DRUGS/MEDICINE! What a trip.

Remember that time when I selected all and deleted ALL of trivia the day of trivia and had to panic CTRL + Z? I do.

If you're not Luigi's Mansione 3 (yes, 3), who are you even? They've now taken the weekly win in fully HALF of Season Nine and have won four weeks in a row. Four. That's a lot, if you're taking notes.

Had an impressive seven weeks show last week. Welcome to the new teams! Loved the energy; bring it again. :)
