[primelord]

Priest Holmes - Texas

Az Hakim - San Diego St.

Lodon Fletcher - John Carrol

Dwight Freeny - Syracuse

[primelord]

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

[primelord]

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

[Ramzavail]

Otis "my man" Smith - Missouri

Anthony Becht - West Virginia

Kevin Mawae - LSU

[primelord]

Ugh. I am shamed that I forgot Otis Smith went to Mizzou.

[cthomer5000]

[Miller Time]

[Miller Time]

Otis "my man" Smith - Missouri



Anyone remember who gave him that nickname?? ;)

[JAG]

The only one I know is Larry Allen and I'm going to butcher it...Sonoma (not sure if it's Sonoma College or Sonoma State or whatever).

[WSUCougar]

All correct so far, except Corey Chavous did not attend Purdue.

[Ramzavail]

Must have been Berman - Otis Smith's nickname

[WSUCougar]

The only one I know is Larry Allen...Sonoma State)
Yep.

[WSUCougar]

dola

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

[JAG]

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. :)

[WSUCougar]

I've added a few more names.

[primelord]

Mike Rucker is Nebraska

[bamcgee]

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.

[Nyarlahotep]

I'm pretty sure Tait was BYU.

[damnMikeBrown]

I think Tait was BYU.

[Warhammer]

Chavous was Vandy. Wesley Walls - Ole Miss Larry Centers - Eastern Illinois?

[Warhammer]

Wasn't Morten Anderson from Virginia?

[bamcgee]

oh, that's right. Tait from BYU.

speaking of, did anyone read Krakaur's Under the Banner of Heaven?

doesn't exactly give the Mormon religion a whole lot of props.

[henry296]

Gannon went to Delaware.

[VPI97]

Owens went to UT-Chattanooga, didn't he?

It was one of those Tennessee schools....

[primelord]

Owens went to UT-Chattanooga, didn't he?

It was one of those Tennessee schools....
Yup that is right. That one was bugging me to no end.

[Honolulu Blue]

Wasn't Morten Anderson from Virginia?

Morten Andersen went to Michigan State.

[Miller Time]

Must have been Berman - Otis Smith's nickname


Nope, my man Jim Harbaugh gave him that nickname. I miss Captain Comeback! ;)

[WSUCougar]

Anyone going to win the Larry Centers derby?

[Easy Mac]

[henry296]

[TazFTW]

Lamont Jordan - Maryland
Jon Kitna - somewhere in Washington; Central???

[WSUCougar]

Lamont Jordan - Maryland
Jon Kitna - somewhere in Washington; Central???
Wow, I'm impressed! Now for 5000 bonus points, can you give the name of the town where Central Washington University is located? :D

[Warhammer]

Pullman? Yakima? Somewhere in Central Washington?

[cthomer5000]

name the Fresno State QB's currently in the NFL.

[WSUCougar]

Pullman?
Very funny.
Yakima? Somewhere in Central Washington?
No. Yes.

[WSUCougar]

name the Fresno State QB's currently in the NFL.
Dilfer and Carr?

[primelord]

name the Fresno State QB's currently in the NFL.
David Carr and I got nothing else.

[cthomer5000]

Dilfer, Carr, and there is amazingly one more.

[cthomer5000]

also, name me the two Rutgers (:)) QB's in the league.

[primelord]

Oh wait. What's his name is from Fresno St. too. The Titans guy. Bah I can;t remember his name, but Carr took over for him.

[primelord]

also, name me the two Rutgers (:)) QB's in the league.
That's easy.

Ray Lucas and Mike McMahon. You have talked about them enough it;s easy to remember :)

[cthomer5000]

Oh wait. What's his name is from Fresno St. too. The Titans guy. Bah I can;t remember his name, but Carr took over for him.
close enough - Billy Volek is indeed the 3rd Fresno State QB.

And on my Rutgers trivia, I believe 1 of the 2 R.U. QB's is currently unsigned. Both were on NFL rosters during the 2003-2004 season though.

[cthomer5000]

ok, primelord got them. I believe Lucas is currently unsigned, but he was on the Ravens' roster late last year.

[primelord]

Name the Missouri QB's in the league.

[WSUCougar]

Is TE Marco Battaglia still around?

[henry296]

Correct on Farrior - UVA and Ward - UGA

[cthomer5000]

Is TE Marco Battaglia still around?I think he got pushed out of the league last season at some point. He was with Tampa last, to my knowledge. :(

TE Rashod Kent (basketball only at R.U.) was recently released by the Texans, too.

We still have a number of guys in the league though.

Off the top of my head:

QB Mike McMahon, detroit
QB Ray Lusas, UFA (last with Ravens)
LB Gary Brackett, Indy
FS Jay Bellamy, New Orleans

and I think there is more, i'm drawing a blank now..


edit: brain fart over.

TE L.J. Smith, Philly
DE Raheem Orr, Houston
CB Nate Jones, Dallas

[TazFTW]

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

I have no idea. It's not Bellingham because that's where Western is and it's not Cheney because that's where Eastern is. I'll guess Centralia because it'll be easier to remember. :p

[cthomer5000]

Name the Missouri QB's in the league.
hmmm... is this a trick question? I can't think of a single one.

[WSUCougar]

I have no idea. It's not Bellingham because that's where Western is and it's not Cheney because that's where Eastern is. I'll guess Centralia because it'll be easier to remember. :p
Ellensburg

:cool:

[primelord]

hmmm... is this a trick question? I can't think of a single one.
Nope there is 1. :)

[WSUCougar]

Well, I know Kirk Farmer had a cup of coffee with the Rams...is he still kicking around?

[primelord]

Well, I know Kirk Farmer had a cup of coffee with the Rams...is he still kicking around?
Yup he was signed bu our buddy Vermeil in KC.
