Congrats to Minnesota also.  I however would like to call everyone's 
attention to the content of this post from qbflame:

If this is true: FOR SHAME RICHARD REID.  WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE 
FOR TRYING TO DEGRADE SOMEONE ELSE FOR DISAGREEING WITH YOU?  Oh 
that's right, you're the punk who was born into this.  And second, 
shame on CBI for having this spoiled pompous ass speak for them 
despite the knowledge that his speeches have led to many an 
indelicate a situation (My trip to the K State nats is lowlighted by 
his insulting the host for having the tourney at Manhattan).  Third, 
shame on anyone else who applauded this drivel.  It really shows the 
classiness of all of you to applaud a behind the back ad hominem 
attack.  What thick skins you all have.  But I guess you can afford 
it when you're fleecing the quizbowl community while giving very 
very little in return.

No longer of WUAT, therefore not speaking for them.
