Poetry round killed us. We were 10/10 in the first round and 3/10? maybe for the second round. I thought the questions were little easier. I think #1 team was #1 couple years ago. They are there to win the whole thing while many of us are too busy drinking and chasing celebs around Hilton.
Cy's House of Trivia 2022
- Thread starter howie71
- Start date
Quality of Celebs has gone down quite a bit last few years. Micah was the only staff showed up from MBB. I was looking forward to see Otz and other MBB staff. No former/graduated players. None of Fennellys. Very small number of VB staff too. CMC has shown up to Trivia every year for as long as he’s been the HC. He’s amazing. He really takes time and engages with fans. I was hoping to see Purdy as he was in town for the weekend.
Business ones were pretty easy. All those countless hours of watching Disney+ with my kid finally paid off.
I assumed the basketball folks were still taking a break from the season ending. Prohm had a little more downtime in at this point in the year. Cys House also used to be two weeks later than it was this year.
I was hoping for more representation from the Bball teams too, but I'd imagine with how crazy transfer season has become that they are either too busy working or need an evening with their families.
I think my first Cy's House, Hoiberg showed up late because he was finalizing the BDJ deal. It was quite the ovation when Fred showed up fashionably late.
Well he is doing his wedding night wrong IMO.
The first year it was in May. The rest of the time it's been the second or third weekend in April.
That family deserved a vacation like that for what they achieved this year.
I hope they publish the final standings, I think we did pretty good but didn't make the podium. At one point we were top ten, although I know we flailed a bit the last couple rounds.
I got lucky enough to be invited to join a table this year. It was a blast.
I'm not going to remember exactly which Gene Chizik era assistant it was, but my defining memory from doing Cy's House of Trivia back in the day was having this particular assistant join us as a "celebrity" for a round. It was the same day as the Spring Game, which had concluded maybe an hour or two prior. This particular coach was absolutely sauced, in the manner it would have been hard to do if you were at the game sober.
That was the case for many rhoads assistants as well. They all went and had a bunch of drinks and showed up to Cys house afterward.
Talking to one member of the staff this year, it sounds like that is more frowned upon under Campbell.
Actually we are just really smart. Just kidding, we were not expecting to be first because we were hanging out around 4th all evening. We had our share of beers and my nephew did chase down Lazard for a pic.
I actually have met him on a couple occasions -- almost didn't recognize him with a shirt on.MY fun fact for the night...
Hubby Lew - who has posted on here maybe 5 or 6 times, 7 or 8 years ago (as PapaLew) - was wandering around the center set-up between rounds, looking at the lottery prize packages. A guy came up to him and recognized him as PapaLew.
Of course, that guy was @oldman , who has probably seen the occasional pictures of him in the RTT threads.
Good to see you guys out and about. KC, you looked like you were ready to run a race; surgery must've took.

So many scenarios running through my mind.
