Spork needed some coverage for BombSquad and YHC was well rested and ready to lead. YHC worked diligently on his Weinke the night before so as not to disappoint the PAX. Brown Bag was tapped to create an appropriate playlist, and Spork piqued the interest of the PAX on Twitter by asking if Trivia would be on the agenda.
The traffic patterns on Carolina Forest Blvd have recently changed so YHC left early to get to the AO and set up. The set up was simple, 4 cones 25 yrds apart were placed on the saturated, squishy football field. When YHC parked, Spork rolled up, planted the Shovel Flag, and asked if there would be trivia this morning. Although it wasn’t initially on the plan, I thought I could come up with some questions for the PAX during the COP.
Next to arrive was Bobby Filet in his white Volvo XC, at first YHC thought that Hamburglar skipped his own Q at the Oyster to come and support Big Monday, but YHC was excited to see Bobby Filet out in the Gloom for his 3rd day! Humpback and One Call put some serious beatdowns on during Bobby Filet’s first 2 outings and YHC knew today’s beatdown would not disappoint, either.
Brown Bag was next to arrive. He was fired up and ready for anything after the Browns historic win on Sunday. The world-famous DJ equipment was set up and “Welcome to the Jungle” was cranked up!
The rest of the PAX came rolling in: Rubber, Beefsteak, Humpback, ERC, and Texas Ranger. Rubber did some Handstand/yoga warm-ups as the rest of the PAX channeled his energy, then the 1-minute warning was given. Read on to find out what you missed and/or to relive the ever-exciting shenanigans of another installment of BIG Monday!!

Answer #9 – The Cleveland Browns!!
NOTE: Brown Bag was not allowed to answer any questions until the last one b/c he knew all the answers (He must have been educated in the 80’s). Humpback being a few years younger also showed a firm grasp of history, however, he had to be given numerous “time outs” b/c he kept talking out of turn & blurting out answers to help other PAX.
