[vincipernoi]

If anyone is a fan of the quiz, the grand final is tonight - Edinburgh Uni v St Edmund's Hall, Oxford


One of the Edinburgh team, Robbie campbell hewson, has been a season ticket holder in the west stand since 2003, and was a hibs mascot in 2004



Edinburgh have never won the tournament in its ~50 year history and last got to the final in 1981

Crucial last minute winner from Campbell Hewson.

The boy done good went from Brian Kerr to SDG in thirty minutes

[JeMeSouviens]

Exuberant pitch invasion and someone stick the nut on Paxo?

[BILLYHIBS]

Thought they might have had a “Sunshine” gonk or a coconut or something as a mascot

Did anyone spot the guy in the audience wearing a Hibs sweatshirt 🇳🇬

Congratulations Edinburgh on a hard fought victory. I was pleased with my own performance tonight, I thought one correct answer was simply awesome. 😁

I got the first question right and it went downhill from there. Tried to play for time by pressing the hold button.

Well Done Edinburgh... i think you can now say that you have not won the cup since 02 minutes to 9.. :na na:

[EskbankHibby]

I did.

Looks like the audience in an episode of Bullseye from 1983 😂

Great to see the Hibs colours and we’ll done to Edinburgh 👏👏

[Sombrero Bob]

Fantastic a ‘first’ I’m sure 🇳🇬

Pardon the University pun 😂

[heretoday]

We've come a long way since TV's Quiz Ball in the 60s.

Two teams of professional footballers often found it hard to give their own names correctly, let alone answer the easy general knowledge questions posed by the late David Vine.

I've recorded Univ Challenge and look forward to it. Hurrah!

[Criswell]

University Challenge..? That's nothing, I got a question right tonight on Only Connect. Even though I was well distracted by VCM,s assets!

[Forza Fred]

Presume he is the laddie of former Oz branch member the good Doctor Gregor Campbell Hewson.

If you are reading this Gregor, Hi..good to see you brought your laddie up to wear the green....

[hibby6270]

Glad I watched the programme before reading this thread.:thumbsup:

Here’s my pic of the exuberant pitch invasion by the fan.:greengrin:greengrin

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Well done the Hibby, great achievement! :agree:

[heretoday]

That was very exciting. It does the heart good to know there are some real brain boxes still out there. Hopefully, they won't all become bankers.

I got the Morris dancing question right and also the Germany flag question but that's it, I'm afraid.

[Famous Fiver]

Wish they had been asked about stadium capacities.

Starter for ten...............

I was on Only Connect before it went to BBC2. She is even more distracting in real life.

Just watched it on iPlayer. I got Fortran! The others were so easy I didn't bother thinking about them 🙄😎

[Eyrie]

Kardias?

:not worth

[Hibernian32]

That's Robbie.


First embra south player to win university challenge
Mental I thought it was him, I remember we went to southport stopped at some service station for a bit got back on the bus heading home must have been easily 20mins on the motor way " where's Robbie?"

He'd been left at the service station reading that bloody gaurdian😂
Im glad he's put that nogging to good use well in old friend

I don't think he knew he'd been left behind before the bus arrived back and everyone else was more worried than him. Which player are you.? Rico, palfo or someone else?. Robbie still meets a couple of former south players for matches at ER

Gregor

[Brunswickbill]

He deserves a shout out from the Hibs announcer on Sunday.

[BILLYHIBS]

Get him on the pitch at half time

It will show the jambos that not all our brains are in our feet :greengrin

:scarf:

Maybe he can bring the trophy with him

Sparta Midlothian

Maybe Uche is so big because he's got an army of Trojans inside?

I'm going to have to fine you five pedantic points


- it would be Greeks not Trojans inside the horse :)

[The Pointer]

This is a great thread as I watch UC every week and was delighted Edinburgh won it, especially as I almost thought they'd ballsed it up near the end.

But coming up with '54' in 90+2 was amazing! Need to get C-H on the pitch at half-time.

He's the Colossus of Gorgie Rhodes

Blink and you'll miss it,.

I love Gogglebox. Standouts are Stephen and his boyfriend, Giles and Mary (Nutty) and Jenny and Lee. The brother and sister from Blackpool are a bit weird. Wouldn't be surprised if he's servicing her and that they have season tickets to Tynecastle.

Jenny and Lee are from Hull. The brother and sister are from Blackpool, but agreed, they give off strangely PBS vibrations.
