funny y'all are bringing up quiz bowl stuff, this Matt dude is apparently known as one of the legitimate GOATs of college quiz bowls.

EDIT: man, the internet is something. Here's his QBWiki entry LINK

EDIT 2: WELL I GUESS IT'S BEEN MENTIONED ALREADY.

Funny how the game vs Peter Griffin went. At the start of double jeopardy, they were tied at 8k, he stormed to rack up a ton of $ while ole Peter lost 4k.

I think Alex hates how he interrupts him while saying he answeres correctly

No, Alex likes to input stupid, useless facts and Matt shuts that shite down. This is a timed game and Alex loves to stall with his bullshite.

This thread got way more attention than I expected. I'd like to keep it updated but since it comes on at different times for everyone I don't want to spoil when he loses.

My grandmother was a huge fan of Jeopardy. Back in the day when she was still alive and living with us she would watch it every day on our satellite at a specific time. Well her and my stepfather never got along and just to get under her skin he would go in his bedroom and watch the same episode that was airing on an east coast channel an hour or two before the one she watched and then go in there with her and answer all the questions he heard already. I figured it out after 1-2 episodes what he was doing but she never did. It was hilarious. She was a mean old bat.

Wasn't it proven Ken Jennings had magical powers?

Two worst parts of jeopardy

1: the "meet the contestant" block. No one cares about your funny story about how you love jeopardy. We need to finish the first round. I'm tired of running out of time with 3 answers left on the board

2: Trebek spilling useless knowledge in a game filled with useless knowledge. You aren't the star Alex so back off. Plus you have a card to read off of. No one is impressed. You are wasting my time. Next question. Now!

He only does it after daily doubles or when none of the contestants know the right answers. I like it, actually. Trebek is a boss.

Why is everyone obsessed with this guy?

He should have lost one day, but they didn't deduct the proper amount on his daily double. He said "5.....thousand" and got it wrong. They only deducted $5.

Its on youtube, go watch. 5....thousand

Even if he lost the $5,000 he still would have won.

wow, that's pretty crazy. Even Alex said the correct score but the screen didnt reflect it.

He got the Final Jeopardy! question correct, and would have adjusted his wager there to win.

Yep, he was going to wager what ever he needed to win anyway so it doesnt really matter.
