Our very own Cal Poly Humboldt was mentioned on Jeopardy last night! 

During the second round of last night’s episode, Jeopardy host Ken Jennings offered contestants the following clue: “They chop down opponents for Cal Poly Humboldt, & they’re okay.”

Contestant Tyler Vandenberg hesitated for a moment but responded correctly with “What are the … Lumberjacks?” and went on to finish first in last night’s contest with a cool $17,600 in winnings. 

Humboldt has been featured on Jeopardy several times in recent years. Local folks may recall a virtually identical Jeopardy clue from 2017: “They chop down opponents for Humboldt State, & they’re okay.”

If you’re wondering why our beloved Lumberjacks are just “okay,” please see the video below for Monty Python’s rendition of the “Lumberjack Song,” the university’s unofficial anthem.
