It's obvious why I know the former Rams. I thought everyone knew that Priest lost his starting job at UT to Ricky.

I think Matt Birk was Harvard (wasn't there a United Way commercial that mentioned that? Maybe I am thinking of someone else)

I'm surprised no one knows Morten Andersen. Guess I'm the only one old enough!

When I saw it was player's colleges, I didn't think I was going to get a single one. Heck, I know the Cowboys better than I know any team in the NFL and I probably couldn't tell you where 1/2 - 3/4ths or more of them went to college. Pretty lucky for you to pick one of the few I knew.

Tait went to Utah.

Chavous went to Vanderbilt or a Virginia school...hedging my bets.

Owens and Centers both went to non-Div 1 schools. Can't remember which though.

Wow, I'm impressed! Now for 5000 bonus points, can you give the name of the town where Central Washington University is located?
