fullor30 My favorite trivia question that rarely gets answered correctly. Obviously I walk among giants here with sports knowledge, so I'm sure within 3-4 posts it will be nailed. Only Heisman trophy winner to play for a final four team.
fullor30 ace wroteTerry Baker - Oregon State 1962 Geesh...........a real stumper huh? Did you know that or google it? When I give the answer, most people go "who was that"?
fullor30 ace wroteTerry Baker - Oregon State 1962 Funny story, years ago, I ask some friends the question in a Chicago saloon and there's silence while everyone's thinking......I give a hint......Pac 10....one guy says "that guy over in the corner" It was Gary Beban, the Heisman winner from UCLA who is an investment banker in Chicago. I almost dropped my Guinness.
Mark Padgett fullor30 wroteGeesh...........a real stumper huh? Did you know that or google it? When I give the answer, most people go "who was that"? Pretty much everyone here in Oregon who is "into" sports knows that. For everyone else, it's a pretty good question, though.

ace fullor30 wroteGeesh...........a real stumper huh? Did you know that or google it? When I give the answer, most people go "who was that"? It took some creative googling. But then again I'm in a meeting thats boring beyond description.
fullor30 ace wroteIt took some creative googling. But then again I'm in a meeting thats boring beyond description. Well, I feel better that you had to google it. Saw an article on a silicon valley company that doesn't allow laptops at meetings........to distracting and insular. I tend to agree. I'd rather doze off.
rainmaker I suppose it's not quite the same type of trivia, but the one "trivial" thing that I noticed this year is that the men's teams were all predominantly blue or white school colors, and none of the women's teams were. Yup, trivial.

Yup, trivial. Isn't that how everyone picked their brackets this year?
Mark Padgett Bad Zebra wroteI believe it was actually Colours by Alexander Julian... No, that's only how they spelled it over in Frenchie land. 😛
fullor30 Bad Zebra wroteI believe it was actually Colours by Alexander Julian... I hate that I remember that. Oh, I know that, I just refuse to spell it that way, not my 'favourite' I also don't cross the number 7.
Jurassic Referee Mark Padgett wroteNo, that's only how they spelled it over in Frenchie land. :p:confused: The French word for color is couleur. The English spell it colour.
