Eric Floyd, an Agribusiness major, appeared on the national TV game show, Jeopardy, five days in June 2002. The University of Georgia student became a four-day champion on the game show, -taking home a grand total of $99,800. Floyd's appearance on ''Jeopardy!'' ended when he answered the "Final Jeopardy" question correctly but did not have enough money to win. His TV success required a keen knowledge of the world of trivia and a calm demeanor. Floyd dominated in categories such as ''sports'' and ''history.'' Floyd reads ardently, serves as the captain of UGA's College Bowl team and helps write high school trivia competitions. Floyd's hefty winnings from the first four shows may still qualify him for a position in the Tournament of Champions. |
