Hall of Fame
2004 | 2003
Why a Hall of Fame you ask? The Hall of Fame is necessary to commemorate the best and brightest shining moments, events, and lineages in Team Zim history. These are the defining moments and items of Trivia, the things that remind us of the true meaning of Trivia.
2004 Inductees
BaconSometimes an incident mars an event & sometimes an event changes history. Trivia is known for many traditions, one of them being the Trivia Parade. The spectacle of the parade has been a celebration of Stevens Point’s defining event….that is until that fateful day in April of nineteen and ninety-five. That was the year that the Team Zim defense team “The House of Pork & Massage” entered a float into the parade. The entry itself was an exhibit of Trivia’s “Royalty”, King Tepper and the Queen played by Clem. And luckily the float pulled by Allen & Coughlin was placed directly behind the 90FM fire truck. One of the great things about observing a parade is the gift of food and/or trinkets. That year the crowd was at a fever pitch as the good folks from 90FM were dispersing candy to the on-lookers and then it happened. Innocent men, women and children’s expectation of good, clean fun were destroyed as they were pummeled by the reality of slabs of cold, greasy, uncooked bacon. Needless to say the crowd was pelted for the entire length of the parade and the results could only lead to one thing: All Trivia floats were forbidden from throwing objects after that shocking incident. Another proud moment for Trivia. |

Hobey BakerTrivia does funny things to the brain. Hunger, sleep deprivation and a lack of fresh air can lead to non-rationale thinking, most notably GREED. Hobey Baker is the ultimate example of Team Zim's desire to get the greatest points possible from a correct answer. A question was asked from The New Trivia Times: “Who won the award named after the person in picture #6 in 1997?” That year Charles Woodson was the Heisman Trophy Winner, but we were not a 100 percent positive that the picture was John Heisman. Having no other guesses we were on the verge of calling in Charles Woodson, until Allen piped up asking if that was a picture of Hobey Baker? If it was Hobey Baker, that would mean the answer would be Chris Drury, that year’s Hobey Baker Winner. After a few moments of deliberation we figured that we would gain more points if the answer was Chris Drury rather than with Charles Woodson. Our answer: Chris Drury. The Answer: Charles Woodson. Another 25 valuable trivia points down the drain. Hobey Baker! Greed wins, we lose. Thank you Jason Allen. |
2003 Inductees
The first group of inductees is a special group as they
represent the spirit of Team Zim.
The Team Zim Hall of Fame Committee is proud to announce the 2003 inaugural Hall of Fame inductees...
Tim "Spike Bacon" Richmond
Mr. Bacon is the ultimate response to a question that we were clueless about. We don't remember the exact details, but the question was about the winner of a particular inaugural NASCAR event. Like every other question we're clueless about, we asked what the answers to the previous questions were. The answers to those questions were Spike and Bacon. After a few minutes of brainstorming, Miller informed us that Tim Richmond died that year and convinced us that his nickname was "Spike Bacon". So that's what we called in…Tim “Spike Bacon” Richmond. The answer: Richard Petty.
The Stinky Books
Before Al Gore invented the Internet, we had a resource that was second to none. It was a set of encyclopedia yearbooks. Not a question arose when the books weren't consulted for their knowledge. Yet despite the wealth of information that could be found in the books, they had to go. Why? They gave off a stench topped only by Wanker's ass. Despite efforts to salvage the books by storing them in the garage, the years of mildew and rodent urine overwhelmed us and they were burned, much to Allen's enjoyment.
Teeter Totters
We all remember the infamous teeter-totter set that disappeared from the contest about 10 years ago. Oliva had asked who and why anyone would want to steal a set of teeter totters? The answer is we would. Why? Because it's funny! Also, it provided some sweet revenge for Oliva making fun of the orange shutters on Lou’s parents' house. ("The shutters that would make you shudder." Remember that, Fatty?) This should make your tubby ass think twice before making a relative of Team Zim a trivia stone clue. Sweet, sweet trivia revenge.
