OT: Answer the question correctly, Give the next question. No cheating.
- Thread starter skysdad
- Start date
In the 1978 Duke-Kentucky NCAA Final from St.Louis, NBC actually had 4 individuals covering the telecast....Can you name all 4??? First three shouldnt be too difficult...

grooms you are right as rain on the first three! The other was relegated to the role of "host," pretty much a token appearance and was NBC's odd man out since the aforementioned trio had taken a foothold...

Good question...Actually this broadcaster PREVIOUSLY had a wonderful career....You might even call him an AMERICAN SPORTSMAN!!! (hint)
Good job Sky! Curt Gowdy who partnered w/Tony Kubek on NBC's Baseball GOTW, and the old AFL Football did college hoops on NBC IN 70s too until the trio became entrenched! His "host" role on the '78 finals was basically NBC showing him the door...Sky's up!

Not sure if you're giving me credit for the question or not, but I'll defer to Jim. I have a lot of work I need to do these next couple of days. Please lecture me if I start posting on here too much 
Lots of Olympic talk in the air.
Name the former Duke men's basketball player who represented France in the Olympics.

Correct.
If you don't know the backstory, he played Euro ball in France, married a French woman and became a naturalized French citizen.

If you include the 2016 projected lineups for Olympic Basketball, Coach K would have coached 11 former Duke players that also played in the Olympics. Can you name 8 of those 11?
Those 6 are all correct. None of the remaining 5 players suited up for Team USA in the Olympics. One of the guys still in question is projected to play for a country that has already qualified for the 2016 Games.
Check and Check. 3 left. Of the three remaining guys, two of them previously played in the Olympics and the other should be playing this summer.
Haha, nope. That's one of three. 2 more to go. At this point, Dbav won't be passed as he got 5 correct. So feel free to guess a little more - or dbav, if you feel so inclined, fire away!
Sweet mother of God, I get to ask a question. It only took 28 pages for me to get there, haha.
Softball for baseball fans (Sky), in 1927, who led Major League Baseball in RBI?
As a bonus, but not required, how many did he have? The number always shocks me.

Nope. The missing two are Eric Boateng with the United Kingdom in 2012 and Mike Gbinije, who is slated to suit up for Nigeria in 2016.
There's been a lot of Duke guys in recent years with a Nigerian heritage. A nice starting lineup would be: Gbinije, Sulaimon, Ojeleye, Obi, and Okafor
Hack Wilson - 196. I'm 50-60% confident on this. I feel like 196 is right, but not sure if Hack Wilson is the guy or not.
Gehrig is correct. My 3rd favorite Yankee. He had 173 rbi in 1927.
Interesting note, many don't realize he also hit 47 home runs that year, meaning of that 922 hit in all of baseball, he and Ruth accounted for 107 of them (12%).
Sky is up.
