Long Term Game: Sports Numbers

Greetings Professor Falken. Would you like to play a game?


The rules are simple. We post numbers in sequence, beginning with 1, and a sports-related fact using that number. The first few will be easy, I think, but the farther we get into the game, the more creativity/research we will have to do. I will post the first 3 items so that the idea is clear, but the rest of the posts should only be one number and item.

1 - Number of basketball national championships won by the University of Arkansas.

2 - Number of points awarded for a safety in American Football.

3 - Number of downs alloted to acheive a first down in Canadian Football.

wow, seriously?? i woulda thought it to be Cousy. that's insane, Skiles must've taken like 2 shots that game.

i remember in like the first NBA Jam the Magic had Skiles. i think that was before Shaq, or it might've been right before Penny (making the team Shaq and Skiles). i was like "who the hell is 'Skiles'?". this was before i became a fan of the NBA. prior to that all i knew was Patrick Ewing and like 5 or 6 other guys total (Karl Malone, Stockton, Jordan, Bird, Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, i think that was about it). i was so oblivious to the NBA back then when i saw Magic baseball hats i was like "why are all these people buying Magic Johnson hats for, and why are the colors blue, silver and black - shouldn't it be purple and gold at least??". that must've been right when Shaq was drafted and before i knew who Shaq was. i thought Shaquille O'Neal was an irish guy, honestly. boy, was i suprised.

i didn't even think the pre-'93 Magic had anyone to get 30 assists off of.
