After the previous year's utter lack of photos, the team shutterbugs stepped up and made use of the digital cameras that Matt had grabbed from the SCSU library. With so many images from the weekend, this collage was created for the website.

With the previous year seen as a dismal affair in many ways, as the apartment had been small and tempers high, 2003 was a bit of a do-over for 2002. It was our second year in an apartment, but the first time that the team had gotten it to work well for us. The 2003 Neo-Maxi Zoomdweebies entered the arena of 75 teams not knowing what to expect, especially after the less-than-happy 2002 contest. This was perhaps the most serious year for the team, as concentration was high, the points were earned with sweat, and the shenanigans were kept to a minimum.

The team was definitely a back-stretch hero. The first half of the contest was wrought with low-point hours
and three people working at a time, thanks to another thinned-out roster. We were spending our time going head-to-head with the likes of the House of Insanity, LDE, and TWATS the whole time (with all three whomping us at some point in time or another). The home stretch was where the NMZ showed that, yes, we are contenders. Armed to the teeth with a Las Vegas phone book and Sarah’s bewitching way with the phone, the NMZ Posse rode high again. Had the team not been one of the six to get the Brady Bunch Math
Question, a placement of 21st would have been our fate. As it was, the announcement of our ranking damn near made us shit our pants.

It was a year of reunions, too. Angie made her way back to the team this year, and Brad Savage once again returned to broadcast after two years of radio silence from the NMZ Posse. The return of old friends to the fold definitely lifted our spirits for the year.

Besides reunions, there were unions as well. Michael and Sarah made their first Trivia appearance as a married couple, having tied the knot the previous summer. The two charter members finally owned up to years of togetherness to vow a lifetime with each other. They joined Keri as being bonafide married members of the team. Honorary team member Chuck Linnell, father of team founders Natalie and Chandra, also tied the knot since the previous contest.

This was the last year that the team's co-founders, the Linnell sisters, were both on the team. Chandra would move on to pursue a career path that led her out of the state in 2004.
