I think this whole argument about whether one's age determines one's trash knowledge is a red herring (despite the fact that Princeton may have inadvertently started the discussion down that path.) The point here is that there is demand for a tournament with a bias towards the recent, and enough of that demand is coming from undergrads to make an undergrad-only tournament of the recent viable. Whether all undergraduate trash players would be interested is not relevant, and I don't think anyone is seriously claiming that such a proposition is true or germane to this argument. I, for one, have no idea how I'm supposed to answer questions on TV shows that went off the air before I was in kindergarten. Perhaps I could tug on tvtome.com solely for the purpose of improving my trash PPG, but presumably that would go against the intentions of trash (and take away from the limited time I have to write tossups on the lesser works of Mario Vargas Llosa). If people who are older than me, or more interested in reading the latest peer-reviewed journal articles on She's The Sheriff than me, want to answer such questions, then they can go to...just about every other trash tournament ever held. I, as an entirely casual and perfectly average trash player of the early-20s persuasion, am looking forward to Princeton's event. --M.W. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
