This is Kevin Brown. Kevin is a senior at LSU and one of the contestants on this week’s “Jeopardy!” college championship.

One of the categories on last night’s show was “college football.” You’d think that Kevin — who goes to school at a big SEC football powerhouse like LSU — might do well in that category, right?
Wrong! Kevin actually missed back-to-back questions on the subject. Even worse, both questions were on other SEC schools. Here’s the first one he couldn’t figure out (Who is Steve Spurrier?):

And here’s the second one (Who is Derrick Henry?):

One question was about Steve Spurrier and the other was about Derrick Henry…HOW DO YOU MISS THOSE?!

People were quite upset that Kevin couldn’t answer these “easy” questions:
There's a dude on #Jeopardy with an @lsu sweatshirt that just missed two easy #SEC CFB-related questions. Shameful.

This LSU kid on Jeopardy is coming up woefully short on the SEC football stuff. I mean, you don't know Derrick Henry OR Steve Spurrier?

Really confused as to how this LSU student on Jeopardy! has missed so many questions about college football, particularly the SEC questions.

The kid from LSU on jeopardy didn't know 2 SEC football questions. He deserves to lose.
