Re: Driving to Championships - ideas?

Allright... for some of you SERIOUS veteran Technokittens.
This is the game some of us 229ers play to kill time.
(It's a good way to keep from falling asleep in Materials Science lectures )


2 people play.
The first person names a FIRST team name, and their number.
The second person does the same with a different team.
Write all these teams down, and make sure there are no repeat teams.

Keep going until someone can't think of any new teams.
(No cheating!)



There is some strategy involved, because obviously you want to name the teams that the other person is most familiar with first, then move on to the teams that the other person wouldn't know.


For instance, if I was playing against Baker, I would name all the Indiana teams first, then move onto teams I know he's friends with/has partnered with, then move onto the better known national teams, then finally move onto the "obscure" new england teams.

Yes... we're FIRST-dorks, but we prefer the term "students-of-the-game".


FIRST trivia is also fun.
Bring some (Motorola of course) 2 way radios, and play van vs. van.
Which van can stump the other one?


Also barring that, spend the whole 10 hour trip picking on DJ.
