Mike Burger will yet again be serving as one of the Cruise Directors/Dictators/Überlords for the festivities. Any questions or concerns should be directed to him. He is reachable either at mmb5@earthlink.net or can be reached the more-archaic ways: 2332 Nixon, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, 734-913-1059. Note that Mike is not a college student (he just plays one on TV), and normally goes to bed around 10:30. It would not be a good idea to call after 10:00.
Mike Burger is a veteran of the quiz bowl scene, launching his career with a buzz of "Jim Bakker" in a 1987 campus tournament at the University of Michigan. After leaving the scene in 1991, he came back in 1994 to help out with the University of Michigan Intramural tournament and they haven't been able to get rid of him since. Mike's team (Mike Keenan Employment Agency) was the winner of a Trash regional seven times, Trashinals in 1998, 2000 and 2003 as well as nine trash invitationals, including Trashmasters in 2001, 2003 and 2004. |
Joining Mike for the second consecutive year will be Craig Barker. Mike is forcing Craig to stick to his "if I ever win this thing, I'm done" statement made in 2000 when the latter was coming down from a bad batch of Ding Dongs. He is reachable at cdbarker@umich.edu. Note that Craig is technically a college student in the way Ashlee Simpson technically performs live, so you can pretty much reach him any time, day or night.
Craig joined the collegiate quiz bowl scene in 1996 and made an impression early when he answered a tossup on Wink Martindale on the basis of his 1959 hit Deck of Cards. Mike sensed the force in this young man, and quickly kidnapped, brainwashed and molded this boy into the man he has become today. Including his Keenan accolades, he has also won 3 CBI regionals, 2 CBI nationals and the Ann B. Davis in 2003.
