| FTBL The barn on Jeopardy...

[imported_Porter]

This week, Jeopardy is holding their College Championship Tournament. You know Jeopardy, the show that has the best and brightest on... Well, linked below is an archive of yesterday's show. Check out "College Football Geography" for $400. Roll the mouse over the $400 to reveal the response that was given from the contestant named Andrew.

To be fair, it should have been the $1000 answer

Ha!!! How funny! We joke about it all the time, but for someone to actually think that. Maybe Georgia can annex them.

I've heard first hand from folks out west and up north who honestly think the barn is in GA. This latest example is just good because it comes from a Jeopardy contestant. You'd be surprised though at the portion of people/fans outside of Alabama that don't have a clue where Auburn is located.

Obviously, college football wasn't his best category. He wound up being the big winner. Truth be told, he was probably an Auburn guy. :shock:

The thing is, Jeopardy must have considered the location of the barn largely unknown or they wouldn't have included it as an answer.

Waaaaaaaaaait a minute.

He should've asked for a judges' ruling on it.

I think he was right.

To be honest, I couldn't tell you what state Harvey Mudd College was in.

All in favor? Aye!!!!

Literally, it was twice as difficult ($200 vice $400) to know what state Auburn's football team called home than the football powerhouse of Princeton and Rutgers.

Full-ride to Auburn...Where the FBI sends football players that enter Witness Protection Program.

The State of Georgia is filing a Defamation of Character lawsuit against Auburn. When asked for comment, Georgia was quoted as saying "I did not have educational relations with that University."

BINGO!

Wow, Andrew, not up on his College Football. First Georgia, and then Kansas City?

We need to let the actual location of the Barn to be our deep, dark secret. If word got out that it is actually in Alabama, it could heart the governor's efforts to recruit industry to Alabama.

On the bright side, it would help us leapfrog Mississippi in the prestigious "trailers per capita" rankings.

That's just about the funniest thing I've ever seen.

 

[BamaHeat]

Haaaa! Right where Athens is located. No wonder UGA has become a major rival. I'd be pissed too.

My WIFE got them all but the last one...and like the rest of us has not concerned herself with knowing all the state captials since grade school.
