Woo hoo! Under 45 seconds. Not bad for a conference with some hard to spell schools… I love this conference! Geaux LSU Tigers!

I haven’t typed Mississippi twice in less than a minute… well, maybe EVER. I lived there for a couple of years when I was a kid and every time I spell it I have a stupid pneumonic device that’s triggered.

It’s pretty annoying. I hope everyone enjoys it because you will never not think of this now. Curse you, elementary school teacher!

Jason - it seems that the link for the Big 10 quiz goes to the SEC one.
These are fun.

Oops, sorry. Now they should be pointed at the correct quizzes. Thanks!

Woohoo - after getting shut out on the ACC (missed Clemson), I’m 2 for 2 on the Big Ten and SEC.

For some reason, this quiz would not accept “University of Mississippi” and it wouldn’t accept “Mississippi State” either. Is it just me?

Miss C — That’s weird. It should gobble up those answers after “University of Miss” and “Mississippi St”…

It could be my browser. I’m beta-testing Firefire 3.
