MU goes to finals of Jeopardy College Championship, KU goes down in flames.

If you aren’t over 60, weren’t working from home or not sitting in front of the TV Wednesday right before 5 p.m., you would’ve seen KU’s Mark Petterson, drop the ball in final Jeopardy.

The question category? The History of Flight.

Kansas National Merit Scholar Petterson, will walk down the Hill this Sunday with a BA in English and Creative Writing. Check out his personalized video and read his blog about the whole experience including drinking in the hotel bar.

Oh well.

Nice try.

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk!

Laura Myers, Mizzou senior magazine journalism major will advance to the finals to air either Thursday or Friday at 4:30 p.m. on KSHB.

**Author’s note: I, too, am a KU English program graduate. However, unlike Petterson, I had to go to work when I graduated. That’s why I missed the final Jeopardy question. I was working.
