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

primelord 05-21-2004 10:39 AM

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

Ramzavail 05-21-2004 10:39 AM

Otis "my man" Smith - Missouri

Anthony Becht - West Virginia

Kevin Mawae - LSU

primelord 05-21-2004 10:40 AM

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

Anyone remember who gave him that nickname?? ;)

JAG 05-21-2004 11:00 AM

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 05-21-2004 11:00 AM

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

Ramzavail 05-21-2004 11:01 AM

Must have been Berman - Otis Smith's nickname

Yep.

WSUCougar 05-21-2004 11:02 AM

dola

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

JAG 05-21-2004 11:03 AM

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 05-21-2004 11:08 AM

I've added a few more names.

primelord 05-21-2004 11:17 AM

Mike Rucker is Nebraska

bamcgee 05-21-2004 11:19 AM

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 05-21-2004 11:21 AM

I'm pretty sure Tait was BYU.

damnMikeBrown 05-21-2004 11:22 AM

I think Tait was BYU.

Warhammer 05-21-2004 11:26 AM

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

Warhammer 05-21-2004 11:30 AM

Wasn't Morten Anderson from Virginia?

bamcgee 05-21-2004 11:35 AM

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 05-21-2004 11:36 AM

Gannon went to Delaware.

VPI97 05-21-2004 11:52 AM

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

It was one of those Tennessee schools....
