Ping-pong Tournament 2004

The 3rd annual MSCS department Ping-Pong tournament was a rousing success, with 16 participants plus about a dozen spectators. And for the first time, we had competitors from Faculty, Staff, and Students! This year the format was a doubles tournament, which provided more participation for competitors and more entertainment for spectators. The 2004 MSCS department champions are Nghiem Nguyen and Roman Shvydkoy, who won all three of their matches en route to the title. Congratulations!

All competitors, in order of finish:

1. Nghiem Nguyen & Roman Shvydkoy, 3 wins, 0 loss
2. Ali Shaker & Amir Niknejad, 2 wins, 1 loss
3. Navin Ramachandran & Dongmin Cai, 2-1
4. Phil Grizzard & Dan Bernstein, 2-1
5. Yan Zhuang & Kat Brydges, 1-2
6. Yuan Xu & Liqing Wang, 1-2
7. Loretta Allen & Lisa Hull, 1-2
8. Gail Tang & Marcus Bishop, proudly 0-3

Thank you to all participants and spectators. It was a wonderful event!

Superbowl Party 2004

A small group of Mathgrads weathered the cold to come out to Phil's place in Forest Park. There was plenty of food, and plenty of action on two screens. Of course, the infamous halftime show was memorable, but so was the back-and-forth game, perhaps the *greatest ever Super Bowl.
