18 teams competed in the Upper Midwest TRASH Regionals at Minnesota 
on Nov 12th. 

In the finals, Rev. Ted Haggard's Methamphetamine Gay Sex Romp (Iowa 
and/or Iowa alums) defeated Tia and the TRASHmen (Minnesota alums) 
325-270. Both teams won their respective round-bracket with a perfect 
record of 8-0. 

In the semi-finals, Rev. Haggard defeated The Nancy Boys 
(academically un-affiliated past Jeopardy! champions) 295-195, while 
T&theT defeated The Octagon (Carleton College) 380-70. 

All-Stars were Rev. Ted Haggard (Matt Larson) from the champions (60 
ppg), yours truly from the runners-up (49 ppg), the Rev. Robert 
Tilton (Nicholas Leifker) from Everything I Know About Sex I Learned 
at Jesus Camp (45 ppg), and Patrick Hope from The Octagon at 41 ppg. 

Full stats and standings will be posted within a few days once I 
figure out how to do that. 

Thanks to our full-time moderators Meredith Johnson, Rita Otto, 
Andrew Bockover, and the legendary Dave Dorman. Thanks also to Gail 
Celio for providing some extra TRASHy prizes (Shaq valentines?!?!?). 
Extra special double thanks to stats queen, packet production 
coordinator and person in charge of keeping me sane Melinda Johnson. 
Finally, of course, a big thank you to all participating teams.
