Dr. Patton Goes in for Round 2

by John Albea

MHO's Flier for the Event

The Montevallo Honors Organization hosted the second edition of Dr. Patton vs. The World Tuesday, March 18^th. Dr. Patton's brawl is MHO's fundraiser event, in which students and teachers alike come together to try and best philosophy professor Dr. Michael Patton's expert knowledge of trivia. This event had only been held once before, and Dr. Patton won that time.

The game consisted of ten rounds in which teams answered questions ranging from 1990's childhood to food origins. After the first round Dr. Patton was confident that he had not done well, thinking he had gotten "less than half the possible points." But, as they announced the scores, Dr. Patton came out on top.

A few more rounds, and more categories, and the game came to a three-way tie in the final round. The judges opted to ask a tie breaker question: Who did the Montevallo men's basketball team play that night? Less than minute later, Dr. Patton announced he had the winning card, and sure enough, he kept his crown as the king of trivia. Afterwards he announced in a taunting but good natured tone "Suck it world!"
