Fans go head-to-head with NFL s best offensive minds in interactive game
By Bryan Strickland
Assistant Sports Editor
Hank Williams Jr. poses the ques
tion, and interactive football may pro
vide the answer.
Every crisp Monday night during the
fall, the country music legend shrieks
the most important of questions to mil
lions of North Americans.
"Are you ready for some football?'
Williams asks.
"No!" rains the answer from most
households, especially when the menu
reads as skimpy as it did this past Mon
day: the John Elway-less Denver Bron
cos versus the talentless Seattle
Seahawks.
But for a select group of football fans
gathered at the Chapel Hill Holiday Inn
lounge fans like UNC dental stu
dents Raleigh Wright and Tim Barlow
the teams involved have little bear
ing on their interest level. Whether it's
the Washington Redskins or the New
England Patriots, these guys are riv
eted. "We stayed for the Chicago-Minnesota
game when it was 41-10," Barlow
says, entering his next play call onto his
QB 1 playmaker set Barlow and Wright
are Monday night regulars for interac
tive football at the Holiday Inn, a satellite-transmitted
system that allows par
ticipants to match wits with the NFL's
best and worst offensive coordi
nators. Under the system, developed by NTN
Communications, players attempt to
predict what type of play the offensive
team is about to call. The players pre
dicts either a run or pass play, and they
then try to guess if the play will go right,
'left or up the middle. For pass plays, the
competitor can predict whether the pass
will be short, deep or to a back.
The QB1 computer system then cal
culates each player's points based on
the accuracy of their call, and two big
screen monitors in the lounge keep a
running point total for all competitors.
At timeouts and halftime, the bar's per
formance is compared to that of other
local bars, as well as bars around the
U.S. and Canada.
"This is like a huge game show where
people can compete against literally
thousands of people every time they
play," says Kevin Gallagher, competi
tion coordinator for the QB1 system.
Gallagher says that the QB1 network,
which began in 1985 with just IS sys
tems, now boasts more than 700 loca
tions. Gallagher estimates that on Mon
day night telecasts, more than 18,000
people compete.
And Gallagher has brought the com
petition even closer to home, organiz
ing 18-team leagues in which nearby
bars compete against each other weekly.
"It's fun competing on the national
level and everything, but when you get
to compete with a bar especially that is
maybe right down your street or in a
nearby town, you can relate with it a
little more."
At the Chapel Hill Holiday Inn, one
of only 1 1 interactive football locations
in North Carolina, the concern is not
with the national or even the local pic
ture it's with beating the guy at the
next bar stool.
"Usually, there's a bunch of people
here, and you get a little bit of competi
tion going," says Barlow, who goes by
TTMMER on the interactive scoreboard.
"There's another guy that we usually
play with, and he thinks he knows ev
erything about football, but he really
doesn't We whip him every time."
On this night, Barlow and Wright are
accompanied by Dana Williams and
Karen Benson, also students in the UNC
dentistry school. Williams' and
Benson's interest in interactive football
appears to be a bit more tempered than
that of Barlow and Wright
"It's OK," Benson says of her first
interactive experience. "It's kind of stu
pid. I just don't like it
"I'd rather be actually watching the
game instead of having to pay total,
complete attention to it and have to
punch those little things in before every
play."
But Barlow says it's only a matter of
time before Benson catches the fever.
"It's the first time she's done it"
Barlow says. "She'll get addicted to it"
Early in the game, John Davis, an
employee at Duke who lives in Chapel
Hill, appears to be in control. Davis, an
avid Denver fan, wins the first quarter.
But the early lead doesn't concern
Barlow.
"We've played with him before," he
says. "He'll fall off after awhile."
Davis doesn't deny that he has been
known to take late-game dives. "I've
won quarters, but I've never won the
game before," Davis says. "Usually it's
because of alcohol, but I'm drinking
Coke tonight."
Three seats down, Anthony Weaver,
an employee in the UNC asset account
ing office, is struggling.
"It's a great game, but it's hard to
describe," says Weaver, who stands in
sixth place.
"You have to sit here and call what
you think they're going to call as op
posed to what you would call. That's
the object of this game, and that's hard
because you' re too tempted to call what
you would call."

Weaver is accompanied by Nancy
Ross, an operating room nurse at UNC
Hospitals. The pair comes every Mon
day night after competing in a bowling
league.
"I'm not a football fan, but I like to
watch everybody else play," Ross says.
This night only eight people are play
ing. "We have 10 sets, and we usually run
out," says Clay Brinkley, bartender at
the Holiday Inn and a UNC graduate
student. "It's pretty addictive. It's very
addictive."
Moments later, the free appetizers
arrive. Buffalo wings, macaroni and
cheese and meatballs are there for the
taking. The game also doesn't cost a
penny.
"I'd just come in for the food if I
wasn't working," Brinkley says.
After the grub is wolfed down,
Weaver is forced to face the music: He
won't be winning on this night By the
end of the third quarter, he calls it quits.
"It's been a typical experience,"
Weaver says. "Just as I'm beginning to
walk everybody down, I've got to go
and I'll watch the fourth quarter at
home."
With Weaver no longer a factor, the
battle at the top heats up. Wright takes
the lead, but Davis refuses to die, stay
ing well within sight of the top spot.
On the game's final play, the un
thinkable happens: a tie. Wright has
amassed an impressive 14,510 points.
But so has Davis.
Luckily for the competitors the Mon
day night game goes to overtime. But
from Williams' and Benson's perspec
tive, it's not so fortunate.
"I'm ready to go home," Williams
says. She and Benson turn off their
playmakers.
Finally, at 1 2:45 a.m., the game ends.
And just as Barlow had predicted ear
lier, Davis fades. Wright takes the win,
17,780 to 16,520.
"I knew I'd pull it through in the
end," Wright confidently says, stroking
his fledgling sideburns. "It's got to be
the sideburns."
Barlow has a different opinion on the
Wright's victory. "Even a blind squirrel
finds an acorn every once in a while."
Williams, thrilled to finally be headed
home, isn't sure if she'll be back next

Karen Benson and Tim Barlow pause during an interactive football game Monday
week. "There are exams next week, and "We'll be here next Monday night,"
some people might actually be study- says Wright, offering Barlow a high-
ing." five.
Exams? So what, say Barlow and "AndtheMondayafterthaC'Barlow
