’Jeopardy!’ Contestants Blanked On An Iron Bowl Question

’Jeopardy!’ Contestants Blanked On An Iron Bowl Question

uproxx.com

The Iron Bowl is one of college football’s most beloved and highly-anticipated events each year. It’s also responsible for one of the wildest endings in the history of the sport. This is why a lot of sports fans were shocked when a question about the annual contest blanked Jeopardy! contestants on Thursday night.

The beloved game show is back for a new season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with a socially distanced set and some new qualifying methods for contestants. But apparently the three on stage on Thursday weren’t very big college football fans, as a fairly simple question about the Iron Bowl completely blanked them. The question came in a category called ”A’ Is For Autumn,’ which means it’s both a question about fall and will start with the letter ‘a’.”

“Each fall Alabama and this SEC Football arch-rival meet in ‘The Iron Bowl,'” the question read.

And though it was filmed in a world where it seemed unlikely college sports would be able to take place, there’s really no excuse for football fans not to come up with “Auburn.” But as the question timer starts, it’s clear no one is frantically pressing their signaling device to answer it. Sameer guessed a team that starts with an A — Arkansas, which honestly isn’t a bad try. But the obvious answer never came. And even Alex Trebek seemed disappointed.



Bunch of geek bastards.

I don't blame then for not knowing about Auburn

Sees thread title and guessed wrong again
My guess was
"I'll take the Scandinavian escorts for $800, Alex"

1. You put way too much time into this.

2. Trebek has aged. I don't want to wish death upon him, but if it happens in the next 90 days or so, well 8 points for Griffindor...

 

[Wild Turkey]

At least she knew who Auburn was....but thank God Mack brown wasn't our coach.

 

[Jon Deaux]

Yeah. They knew about Arkansas instead.

Beloved by whom? Can’t really blame someone for not knowing like what the 4th most heated rivalry in the SEC?

Bama/Tenn definitely a little bigger

Maybe they should have asked which school poisoned a tree?

Is that your final answer?

Should've been watching "Press Your Luck."

I'd bang Elizabeth Banks any day and twice on Sunday.

I mean....people that get on Jeopardy are often known for now knowing shit about sports. Nothing new there.

So many take it as “bunch of fucking egg head geeks” when really the view here is that the path to total intellectual enlightenment is negatively impacted in a major way by following sports.

For those of us that follow and love sports it’s a sacrifice gladly made.

Man, they should have immediately asked a question about Michigan/Ohio State. Had a golden opportunity to forever end the debate

 

[Mistaken4193]

They phrased the question wrong....if they would have asked ...”This little brother usually gets their ass kicked by Alabama around Thanksgiving every year...” 100% they get the answer right
