It's a terrific tournament featuring some of the all-time best Jeopardy players. Fans of the show should find it exciting and compelling.
There is a Stanford connection. 2 of the 21 players in the field are Stanford alumni - Andrew He (who won his quarterfinal last night) and Brian Chang (who plays his quarterfinal tonight). In fact, I learned from chatting with Brian that he was Andrew's RA in Roble when Andrew was a freshman! And then after Stanford they both would appear on Jeopardy, each win over $150,000 in their respective runs and qualify for the ToC. Amazing.
But wait, there's more! In fact, there's more specifically for Stanford sports fans. I won't say anything beyond than that for now. I did have to sign an NDA.
Who are Toby Gerhart, Andrew Luck, Christian McCaffrey, and Bryce Love?
Who are Bernard Muir and David Shaw?
Answers to both are pretty obvious. . . .
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
