However, on a happier note, today was also the 13th annual Cy's House of Trivia contest at Hilton Coliseum. Our table name for this evening was "Best Kempt Secret", in honor of Kyle Kempt, who led Iowa State to an upset win over the Oklahoma Sooners a couple of years ago. In fact, we had the honor of having Kyle sit at our table for one of the trivia rounds tonight! He came across as very polite... and he didn't really help with any of the trivia questions, but it was fun having him at our table. One funny story about him... during one of the intermissions, I was in line for the bathroom, and Kyle came in line a couple of places behind me. I talked with the rest of the people in line for the bathroom, and we were in agreement that Kyle should cut in line to the front... but he was too modest and insisted that he did not want to cut in line. So, he really did seem like the humble or modest type.
Our table consisted of myself, Elizabeth, Tim Nevins & George (from WRNL and tailgating), Dan & Anne Becker, and Mike & Jaime O'Donnell. Besides Kyle Kempt, we did have John Walters (the voice of the Cyclones) sit at our table. I believe that we finished in 36th place, out of 100. One of the rounds was all about beer, which we did well in. There was also a round about identifying which American war it was referring to, based on a few small clues. Another fun note, but I did win a raffle prize of two tickets to the ISU vs Texas football game for the upcoming football season!
