Quiz bowl (or quizbowl) is a game that is similar to Jeopardy but with teams and more academic questions, most popular among high school and college students in the United States. Since getting good at it requires a lot of time, practice, and intense studying, a school's quizbowl team is typically insular and close-knit.
Person 1: Hey you around to chill tonight?
Person 2: I can't, I have to get up early for a quiz bowl tournament tomorrow
Person 1: Lame

Person 1: You gonna get fucked up at the tailgate?

Person 2: I can't, I'm 100 miles away at a quiz bowl tournament answering questions about quantum mechanics, Rachmaninoff's piano concertos, Restoration-era playwrights, and the Byzantine Empire, among hundreds of other topics
Person 1: What a fucking nerd

A club dedicated to answering meaningless questions whose answers you'll probably never have to know for the rest of your life. Seriously, that's the whole game. Most of the answers will be known if you pay attention AT ALL in ANY of your classes. Michiganders are arguably the best at Quiz Bowl. Most Quiz Bowl practices (because a sport of this magnitude requires afterschool practices) are usually all of the team members sitting around cracking stupid jokes and answering the questions with whatever comes to their heads. However, Quiz Bowl is very worthwhile because you can miss a whole day for a match. Most students call Quiz Bowlers "nerds" or "geeks." However, you don't have to be smart at all to join Quiz Bowl, you just have to know random information. Unfortunately, being on the Quiz Bowl team is NOT a bragging right at all, since you will undoubtedly be mocked if you ever let it slip that you're part of it.
The Quiz Bowl team made it to states undefeated. However, their high school was too busy paying attention to the losing basketball team to acknowledge this achievement.
