I loved that show! It was partly my devotion to College Bowl as a kid that later led me to tryout and win on Jeopardy as an adult.

The College Bowl appearance that is most memorable for me was Bryn Mawr. Week after week those four Bryn Mawr girls were mopping the floor with all sorts of all-male or mostly-male teams from other colleges. So what would it take to defeat those four smart girls? Another four smart girls, that’s what. For Bryn Mawr’s final match they brought out a team from Barnard for an all-female contest. Barnard prevailed, preventling Bryn Mawr from retiring undefeated.
