TIC TAC DOUGH - Game 12 (Signups Always Open)

[Xalxe]

I do know! And I know that that is the correct answer!

mallowgeno

, back to you.

[Flicker]

/in

[mallowgeno]

I'll challenge Vash to NFL players

[Xalxe]

Okay, good luck Vash!

NFL Players

As of 2017, other than the United States, what country is the birthplace of the most active NFL players?

[VashtaNeurotic]

Well...I have no clue on that. Gonna say

Canada

(ftr if the actual answer is american samoa i'm gonna be sad as it's a us territory)

[Xalxe]

Don't be absurd, I know the difference! And Canada is, in fact,

correct

!



Vash, you also have control of the board.

[VashtaNeurotic]

I does that mean I can swap around where certain categories are? Becuase that's how I like to establish board control

[Xalxe]

It definitely does not.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Come on Xalxe. Why ya gotta be so rude? Can't you see I'm human too?

Anyway, I'll pick this category not because I think I'll pass it, but because it gives me a potential win and blocks off a potential path for mallow. Going for the

VOICES

. Hopefully I don't get picked by Blake Shelton.

[Xalxe]

Come on Xalxe. Why ya gotta be so rude? Can't you see I'm human too?

I loathe that song.

Remember that the middle square is a two-parter!

Voices

In the Toy Story series, John Ratzenberger voices a character that is what kind of animal?

[VashtaNeurotic]

Ugh, I knew this would be a VA question...but I can not be exactly sure. So of the main cast forn animals there's on Slinky (a dog), That Piggy Bank whose name escapes me (a pig) and Rex (a tyrannosaurus rex). There may be more, there was wheezy that penguin but he's barely in it. It's mostly a blind guess but I'm going to go with:

dinosaur

partly for the song and mostly because it feels right.

[Xalxe]

Ah, no, I'm sorry, it was Hamm, the piggy bank! Let's get a new category on the board!



Children's Books is now in the center square.

mallowgeno

, back to you!

[mallowgeno]

Lets go children's books

[Xalxe]

Children's Books

What red-haired girl is the main character in a series of children’s books by Astrid Lindgren?

[mallowgeno]

Only red-haired girl I can think of is

Madeline

? I think that's a series

[Xalxe]

It is, but we were looking for another red-haired girl,

Pippi Longstocking

.

Basketball Teams

is our new center square, but remember Vash, you can go anywhere you like.

[VashtaNeurotic]

I dislike that it is Basketball Teams and not NBA teams...and my knowledge of that is uh...not complete but...I'm picking it anyway. Gimme

Basktetball Teams

and gonna pray it's something I know.

[Xalxe]

You got it!

Basketball Teams

Two different schools that have been seeded #16 in an NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament have defeated a team seeded #1. Give one of those schools’ athletic nicknames.

[VashtaNeurotic]

...fuck

Uh, I think it was UMBC that won one of those games and they're the retrievers. So I'll go with

The Retrievers

. This was a mistake.

[Xalxe]

The Retrievers are correct! Now for the second part.

Basketball Teams (Part 2)

Give the athletic nickname of one of the #1 schools that was defeated.

[VashtaNeurotic]

Oh...fuck ugh....Okay so let's see. I definitely remember one of my brackets being busted by this (which is weird I usually pick 2 seeds over 1 seeds but that upset was big). I feel it was Villanova, so

Wildcats

.

[Xalxe]

Unfortunately that is incorrect. The UMBC Retrievers defeated the Virginia Cavaliers, and on the women's side, the Harvard Crimson defeated the Stanford Cardinal.

Voice Roles

is back on the board in the center.

mallow

, you're up.

[mallowgeno]

I'll try the secret category!

[Xalxe]

Secret Category (Governors)

Prior to becoming president, Martin van Buren and Grover Cleveland both served as governor of which U.S. state?

[mallowgeno]

Vermont?
