D3 on Jeopardy

[cawcdad]

Tonight's first game of the college tournament feature's competitors from the NWC and WIAC. A young lady from Lewis & Clark and and a young man from UW-River Falls are on the show..

Unfortunately, neither fared well; the other guy (from UCLA) clinched the win before the final jeopardy round.

Neither of them got the fairly easy final question for which the answer was the H1N1 virus.   Of course, it's a lot easier when you're not sitting in a hot stage in front of a live studio audience.

I've taken the qualifying test three times now and never made it to the next round, so all these folks have me beat!

Fixed that for 'ya.  We are talking about Jeopardy, after all.

I'd love to know how far they made it if anyone can share.

To be honest, I can't imagine an athlete going too far on Jeopardy. Perhaps I am putting my foot in my mouth, but I feel like they wouldn't get far. Sports fans, however, have the best odds.

If anyone knows plz share!

I hope your foot tastes good, because there are many D3 athletes that are scholars
and would probably take great offense to your comment, or maybe they would just consider the source.
