OT: Sports trivia. Part three.
- Thread starter skysdad
- Start date
PURDUE? They have Drew Brees, Bob Griese and Len Dawson. If they have a couple of more that I can't think of,then maybe Purdue is the answer
Purdue & Bama are tied for 2nd, along with a 3rd school. I think they are also tied for the most Super Bowl winning QB's with Bama.
This schools had 5 different QB's, although 1 was a transfer, after his sophomore year, and finished with another school. I think the 5 only went 1-4 in the Big Game.

I'm getting frustrated. It's a great question. I can remember all the teams. Notre Dame, Washington and Cal might all be tied for second. But I can't think of five
My emerging headache has lifted! I missed the transfer mention in your hint. I grew up a huge Rams fan. I skipped over Vince Ferragamo because I think of him as a Nebraska QB. But he transferred from Cal. I know that Joe Kapp managed to get Minnesota past the Rams to get to the Super Bowl. Jared Goff laid an egg for the Rams a couple of years ago. I guess Aaron Rodgers is the only Cal winner. I don't know number 5. So CALIFORNIA is the answer. Amazing that a school that produced Tony Gonzalez, Marshawn Lynch and Aaron Rodgers has almost no history
I spent one day in Berkeley. It was great. Beautiful. Hilly. Used book stores on every corner. And I met more really smart people there than Boston, Durham, etc. I should have spent more time there
Very good. I would never associate Morton with Cal. He seemed like a son of the South. I know that he started a lot. I always think of staubach as the starter even though Tom Landry used Roger Staubach as a great reliever.
Great question! Morton's head coach at Cal was Marv Levy and his QB coach was Bill Walsh! He started Super Bowl V for Dallas and Super Bowl XII for Denver. He was born in Flint Michigan and went to high school in northern California. I had no idea. Thanks
Next question: Who is the incredibly lovely young lady who won the Gold Medal Swimming the 800 meters at age 15 in the 2012 London Olympics? She won 4 Golds and 1 Silver at the 2016 Olympics
The answer is Katie Ledecky. She was also favored to win 5 Gold Medals at Tokyo this year before the Games were postponed
Next question: Only two major league pitchers have a 20 win season and a 50 save season in a career. One is John Smoltz. Who is the pitcher who accomplished this feat before Smoltz?
When three rivers stadium first opened the allstar baseball game was played there. What year?
I think I got this one, thanks to all the All-Star game & World Series highlights they use to show during rain delays. They would show the same ones over and over during the 80's...lol
I'm going to let you ask the next question. The stadium opened in 1970 but the allstar game was played in 1974. I didn't ask the question correctly. You're up
The game I was thinking of was the Pete Rose/Ray Fosse collision game. The year 3 Rivers opened did not throw me off. I was just wrong in thinking it was the 70 all-Star game.
Kaline was a rightfielder and Northrup did play some center. The player I'm referring to came after Northrup and was discovered on a prison baseball team. OFC
