| − | The '''Oklahoma State University''' Quiz Bowl team was started in fall 2002 by four freshmen and a sophomore who sat around in the honors dorm living room, going through questions from the Stanford Archive and yelling "buzz" at random. The team has since grown to almost 20 members and has managed to kill two buzzer systems (including one belonging to another team), leaving at least one member to wonder why they can't have nice things.
| + | '''Oklahoma State University''' is located in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Their quizbowl team was founded in 2002, and competes in events across the south, including in Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri, most notably attending [[ICT]] in 2006, 2007, and 2012. While the team's tournament attendance has been spotty and inconsistent in recent years, it has served as an established host of high school events in the state. In 2003, Oklahoma State began hosting the [[L. L. Lewis Cup]], a regular-season high school event named for former university president L. L. Lewis, the last iteration of which was held in 2019. Additionally, from 2005 to 2015, OSU also hosted the [[NAQT Oklahoma State Championship]], serving as the first hosts of the event after its split from the [[Oklahoma|University of Oklahoma's]] [[Boren Cup]]. |

| − | OSUQB hosts two high school tournaments annually, the [[L.L. Lewis Cup]] and the [[Oklahoma NAQT state qualifier]]. The L.L. Lewis Cup is named for a former OSU president and athletic director who the students thought so highly of that they voted to put his name on the football stadium. In 2003, the stadium was re-named for OSU alumnus T. Boone Pickens, who insisted the facility not be known as Lewis Field at Boone Pickens Stadium, so as a small "screw you" to T. Boone, the tournament is named for the man whose name used to grace the rust bowl on the north side of campus. The tournament's subtitle usually involves some dig at Pickens, his $165 million gift to the athletic department or his lackeys.
