Circle of Fear Shirts Now Available

"Circle of Fear 2007 " commemorative t-shirts are now available for purchase at participating retail outlets.

The Quadrathlon Circle of Fear highlights the competitors each year who are too paralyzed by fear to show their faces at the Quad. "Well, if the Higginbothams can't win an actual event, at least this gives them the opportunity to dominate something," said Johnny Hipps, 2006 Champion.

Other competitors were also quick to comment, including John Shilstone, saying "just because Mark gets his *ss kicked by his ol' dad each year is no reason for Little-John to hide in shame, but in fairness neither of them really have any chance of winning."

Military participants who are deployed and defending our very right to Quad are exempt from the Circle, this year including Tim Hale, but no other excuses are accepted.
