Spring 2005
Molly Pitcher Service Area OpenFebruary 27, 2005 @ Rutgers University- New Brunswick
Thirsty for more TRASH, Columbia A (Burly Paper Towels, An Ideal Black Body, Spongebob, Cherokee Hair Tampon) and Columbia B (Warren Spahn, Two Days of Rain, and Johnny Sain) traveled down to Jersey. The A team finished 8-3, good enough for 4th, while the B team at 5-6 took 7th in the field of 12. Burly Paper Towels secured the 5th best individual performance with a 31.36 PPG haul.

Not much to say here. We sent three teams. Our Div I team earned a bid to the ICT. Yay.
Fall 2004
Bulldogs over Broadway
December 5, 2004 @ Yale University
Disregarding the fact that finals were just 2 weeks away, Columbia sent a team to the seedy precincts of New Haven to do battle, hoping to continue the recent win streak. However the team came up just short of the trifecta, finishing second with a 10-2 record to Harvard's 11-1.
TRASH Mid-Atlantic Regionals
November 7, 2004 @ Rutgers University- New Brunswick
Under the the nom de plume 'It's another team! HOORAY ANOTHER TEAM!', the plucky bunch from Morningside finished an admirable 7th in a field of 17.
Princeton Kickboxer
Classic
November 6, 2004 @ Princeton University
The author cannot say much regarding Columbia's 2 team
performance having not been there, and will have to let the record speak
for itself. Columbia A (Jacob Hupart, Dan Boylan, Lily Wang, Jared
Kushner) finished the round robin at 6-0 and finishing with a 9-3 record,
good enough to notch a second tournament victory for the Lightning blue.
Columbia B (Mike Ryzewic, Isaac Stone Fish, Nick Flath, and "Sanchez")
finished a respectable 5-5 for 4th in a field of 7. Isaac finished 4th
with 34 PPG, Dan and Jacob right behind him at 6th and 7th with 33.33 and
29.17 PPG respectively.

Vikram Joseph Vaz
Memorial Tournament
October 16, 2004 @ Harvard University
In perhaps one of the most bizarre weekends in recent memory Columbia sent 3 teams to Beantown via Chinatown bus. Normally a 4 hour trip, the brave souls ended up stuck in bad weather and traffic resulting in a near 7 hour ride, trapped with "Jo-Jo." However, overcoming all odds, Columbia Bucky ['Bleepin Dent] (Lily Wang, Ted Geiger, Dan Boylan, Nick Flath) went on to win the tournament, possibly only the 3rd tournament win in the last 7 years. Columbia Aaron [Boone] (Beryl Schrager, John Gardner, Joe __) featured 3 freshman making an impressive debut, while Columbia Bill [Buckner] (Jared Kushner, Rob Becker, Raza Panjwani) beat both of the other Columbia teams while sporting the worst record of the lot. Congrats are due to Ted who also pulled down a hefty ___ PPG, good for 3rd in the tournament. Unfortunately Harvard lost all the stats after the first 5 rounds, so you'll just have to take our word.
SPRING 2004
NAQT ICT
April 2-3, 2004 @ Washington University in St. Louis
The trip to St. Louis didn't prove to be that bad. St.
Louis itself was another story. Highlights included discovering that 'The
Loop' (St. Louis' answer to Greenwich Village) was as exciting as watching
paint dry, UConn beating Duke, and Georgia Tech downing Oklahoma State.
Yes that's the NCAA Tourney, which is what we watched and thoroughly
enjoyed after our dismal performance. In Div I, Columbia (Jacob Hupart,
Dan Boylan, Ted Geiger, and Brian Shaitkin) placed 20th out of 32. Dan
only had 11 negs, much fewer than we'd expected for a 13-round
tournament. That's less than one a round! (Though we imagine it's
difficult to neg when the other team consistently powers after the first
six words). In Div 2, Columbia (Lily Wang, Raza Panjwani, David
Weisberger, Mike Ryzewic, and Mike Sockin) placed 25th out of 32. After an
inauspicious 0-6 start, including three 15 point losses, 1 of which was to
eventual finalist Illinois, the team did bounce back with a 5-1 record
after the rebracket.

February 7, 2004 @ Princeton University
A tournament which began at 5 AM at
the Sundial and included an hour of playing pool at Frist Campus Center at
Princeton in the wee hours of the morning, ended well with 2 bids to NAQT
ICT. In
Div I, Columbia A (Jacob Hupart, Dan Boylan, Ted Geiger, and Brian Shaitkin)
finished fifth place overall and Columbia B (Jay Heumann, Jared Kushner, Mike Ryzewic, and Isaac Stone Fish) finished ninth place overall.
The
Div II team (Lily Wang, Raza Panjwani, David
Weisberger, Josh Levine, and Mike Sockin) finished with a record of 11-2, tying Virginia for second
place. The team had a preliminary round victory against Penn A, who won the
tournament. Raza placed third individually in D2, 7th overall, with 47.31 ppg,
and Lily placed 12th with 33.46 ppg.

Penn Bowl 13
January 23-24, 2004 @ University of Pennsylvania
Columbia A (Dan Boylan, Jared Kushner,
Nick Flath, and Isaac Stone Fish)
placed sixth in their bracket with a record of 5-6. Columbia B (Lily
Wang, Raza Panjwani, Rob
Becker, and Michael Jan) placed seventh in their
bracket with a record of 3-7. Mitigating this abysmal performance,
though, is that six of those losses were to A teams and that Columbia B
tied for sixth in record. What can we say? Certain teams
at the tournament had ridiculously large egos and could use a serious
reality check. Too bad we couldn't deliver it.

Puppy Chow
November 1, 2003 @ Boston University
Unfortunately, we didn't keep stats and none were posted. Nor can we remember the exact standings or anything. But Basically, the A team (Jared Kushner, Lily Wang, Peter Hall, and Nick Flath) did OK, and the B team (Raza Panjwani, David Weissberger, Mike Jan, and Mike Sockin) started off not so good but just missed winning their bracket after surrendering the lead to Yale B on the last question- not bad for a bunch of first timers. Highlights included the B team not realizing how easy the questions were in the first game and scoring 30 points, and then scoring 300 the next round upon realizing these weren't nearly as hard as practice sets, as well as Raza scoring 100 points and 95 points in consecutive games during his first tournament. In the process, both Jared and Raza took home honors in the Most Negs department.
Beaver Bonspiel X
October 25, 2004 @ MIT
Three teams traveled to MIT's Beaver bonspiel to test their mettle in October and the results were encouraging. The Open division team (Jacob Hupart, Dan Boylan, Kared Kushner, and Nick Flath) finished 3rd overall, but lost all their matches against Ivy rivals Harvard and Cornell. The JV teams did equally well, finishing 3rd and 4th in the JV division. JV 1 took 5 losses from Harvard's 2 teams and one from JV 2, while JV 2 fared better against Harvard, taking only 4 losses from there and 2 from JV 1, as well as beating eventual winner Harvard 2.

October 4, 2003 @ Cornell University
Veteran members Jacob Hupart, Jamie Hodari, Dan Boylan, and newcomer Law student Ted Geiger, formerly of Williams, traveled to the great frozen nether-regions referred to as 'Upstate' to take part in a tournament at Cornell University. Judging by the results, perhaps the traveling was more enjoyable then the outcome. Detailed Results
