Thursday Trivia

[Big Circus]

I'll take Princeton.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

I'll go Princeton for 1. and Michigan for 4.

 

[spnited]

Dartmouth (all that's left if it isn't Princeton)

 

[Matt1735]

No.1 Dartmouth.

Edit: Spnited beat me to it.

 

[micropolitan guy]

Spnited is the winner winer, chicken dinner. THis, from the National Football Foundation * College Hall of Fame:


Oct. 6, 1956: Penn snaps a 19-game home losing streak at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, beating Dartmouth 14-7 in Quakers first official Ivy League game. Big Green quarterback Mike Brown (future Cincinnati Bengals owner) accounts for Dartmouth's only score.

And Michigan is incorrect for 1910-19.

Jason Hanson is also incorrect. But you're in the right state, I'll give you that.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Bonus: Ozark County Daredevils (Yes, I cheated). I didn't cheat on the Hanson question, but I did on the bonus since I had no idea whatsoever.

3. A combo to add to the list, Jackie and Matthew Slater. Jackie had a 20-year career on his own with the Rams, and Matthew is a rookie with the Patriots this season. Weird combo though. Jackie was a lineman. Matthew is a tiny WR/DB/KR.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

Bonus: Ozark County Daredevils (Yes, I cheated). I didn't cheat on the Hanson question, but I did on the bonus since I had no idea whatsoever.

And you still got it wrong.

It's Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, Jackie Blue.

 

[Seahawk]

Guess for No. 2 is Mariano Rivera and Jeff Nelson.

 

[nmmetsfan]

No. 2: Shields and K-Rod?

 

[micropolitan guy]

Not with the Yankees or the Angels.

Right league, though. Lefty-righty combination.

 

[Seahawk]

A couple more for No. 3
Patriot fathers were a good bread:
Julius Adams (NE) and Keith Adams (a bunch of teams)
Sam Adams, Sr. (NE), and Sam Adams, Jr. (a bunch)

 

[Seahawk]

Also No. 3:
The Hasselbecks, if you can count Tim as playing. Don was a tight end with the Pats for several seasons (another productive Pat daddy), and Matt and Tim both have been in the league several years.

No. 2: Dennis Eckersley and Rick Honeycutt?

 

[nmmetsfan]

That was my next guess Mikey

 

[micropolitan guy]

OK, here's my original six, father-sons I know have played a combined 20 years (the number has increased appreciably since I first heard this question several years ago).

1. Archie-Peyton Manning
2. Ed-Brad Budde
3. Bob-Brian Griese
4. Jack-Jeff Kemp
5. Aaron-Robb Thomas
6. Ray-Mike Renfro.

I don't believe a lot of the father-son combos mentioned have a combined 20 years, yet.

And yes, Honeycutt and Eckersley are correct; 248 games as members of the A's and Cardinals.

Still waiting on the 1910-19 team, and the place-kicker answer. You'll bow down to me after discovering the answers.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

No. 2: Dennis Eckersley and Rick Honeycutt?

Rob Dibble and Norm Charlton?

 

[mike311gd]

It has to be. They played so many seasons together in Oakland and St. Louis. The same four guys -- LaRussa, Duncan, Eckersley and Honeycutt -- packed up and moved to St. Louis. They're the first two I thought of, way before I read the thread.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

No. 2: Dennis Eckersley and Rick Honeycutt?

Nice work. I never would have guessed that.

 

[mike311gd]

Sweet.
