Unleash the Power of Ag-Econ Knowledge!
The Agricultural Economic's Quiz Bowl team is back with a vengeance after a COVID-induced hiatus! We're sowing seeds of knowledge in agricultural economics and reaping the rewards in Jeopardy-style competitions against top-notch land-grant institutions like Texas A&M, Clemson, LSU, Kentucky, and Purdue.
But here's the twist: we're not just seeking your support; we're planting the seeds of economic growth and knowledge.
Last year, our passion and dedication took us to SAEA (Southern Agricultural Economics Association) in Oklahoma City and AAEA (American Agricultural Economics Association) in Washington D.C., where we showcased the brilliance of agricultural economics from Oklahoma State University. But this year, we're gearing up for something monumental!

Why Your Support Matters:
Cowboys In Coach - Travel Expenses: This year, we're venturing from Stillwater to the bustling cities of Atlanta, GA, and New Orleans, LA. The airfare costs are higher than an overpriced bushel of heirloom tomatoes! Your donation will help us navigate these economic ups and downs.
Market Scarcity - Hotel Stays: The competitions are smack in the downtown core, where hotel prices reach prices higher than a prime cut of steak at a fancy steakhouse. Your contribution will ensure we can maximize sleep and minimize fatiguge.
Supply and Demand - Professional Attire: We're all about representing our beloved Oklahoma State University in style. Our attire - slacks, dress shoes, and matching polos with our OSU and Quiz Bowl team logos ensures we're always in high demand. Your donation helps us dress to impress.
Economic Efficiency - Upgrading Buzzers: We're not just economists; we're trendsetters! Our Quiz Bowl buzzers are the pulse of the competition, and we're ready to upgrade them to exude economic excellence. Your donation will help us buzz in style, making every response a masterpiece of precision.
Maximizing Returns- Registration Costs: We're not just crunching numbers; we're investing in success! Registering for Quiz Bowl competitions is our ticket to showcasing our ag-econ expertise, and we're aiming for the gold standard. With your help, we'll secure our place in the Quiz Bowl hall of fame!
Ag Economist Humor Zone:
We're not just number nerds; we're comedians, too! Why don't economists ever play hide and seek on the farm? Because good luck hiding when there's always someone tracking your supply and demand!
Quiz Bowl Team Weekly Practice, September 2023
$25 covers the cost of one quiz bowl team member's polo shirt to wear at competitions.
Every competition requires a registration fee to cover administrative expenses. The donation of $75 ensures one of our quiz bowl team members gets to compete.
To better our practices we are looking to upgrade our buzzer system to get "real competition" vibes!
This donation secures a one-way airline ticket for one quiz bowl team member to go to our competitions in New Orleans, LA and Atlanta, GA. So our members can have the chance to say, "Put me in coach."
"What hotel should I book? Your guest is as good as mine!" With your donation we would be able to book hotel rooms in the very hotel the competition is held!
