[lamom]

<p>He looked so HAPPY, h thought he was having trouble breathing. It was really nice to see his excitement.</p>

[racofrag]

<p>Congratulations indeed. I know him personally; my roomy even helped him practice for the school elimination rounds.</p>

[flopsy]

<p>Anyone know if this episode is going to be replayed? :rolleyes:</p>

[fiddledd]

<p>I watched his first episode where he “lost” to Michigan and kicked Harvard’s butt. But I didn’t bother to watch any of the other episodes. I should congratulate him in our discussion for film class this week.</p>

<p>Woot! Way to make UCLA look smart!</p>

<p>I liked the way he wrote GO BRUINS on the screen during Final Jeopardy.</p>

[evelyn_rose]

<p>Yeah, any guy who just won 100,000 would look cute He also helped Canyon Point win the college bowl games…</p>

<p>im so happy he won. especially whilst at SC. so awesome.</p>

[racofrag]

<p>I am sure the people at 'SC are less than happy that a Bruin won it all the way. </p>

<p>USC also competed, but as the ‘norm’ goes they lost. Was that too mean to say?</p>

[Emmeline]

<p>Hey I know that guy. I’ve seen him perform through College Bowl. </p>

<p>Congratulations to Cliff! Yay! Now he is officially the poster-child of College Bowl. ;)</p>

[_allie]

<p>lol i just told my friend, a recent SC graduate, about the dude and his accomplishment. said friend tried out for college jeopardy last year and almost made it through (but alas, didn’t). </p>

<p>he’s very, very unhappy. </p>

<p>it’s great.</p>

<p>What is…UCLA KICKS ****ING ASS!!!</p>

<p>whohooooo</p>

[VTECaddict]

<p>i was at the taping of the episode where he went against harvard and michigan. he was kicking ass until the michigan guy started going psycho.</p>

<p>and my friend went to the taping of the final championship episodes so i already knew he won like 2 weeks ago. ;)</p>

@VTECaddict

and my friend went to the taping of the final championship episodes so i already knew he won like 2 weeks ago.

You did an admirable job of keeping that secret.</p>

<p>Tuna. :rolleyes:</p>

[racofrag]

<p>I would imagine it’s harder for Cliff. I saw him several times prior to the show, and there was nothing out of the ordinary from him.</p>

<p>In fact I was even assuming that he had not won at all. He is as soft-spoken on TV and in real life.</p>
