Sportsball 5-9-17

#1 Post by elwoodblues » Mon May 08, 2017 7:55 pm

Today each question consists of a former NFL star and a former NBA star who played at the same college. For each pair name the college they both attended for one point each, and there is a Two-Point Conversion.

1. Roger Staubach/David Robinson

2. Troy Aikman/Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

3. Gale Sayers/Wilt Chamberlain

4. Lawrence Taylor/Michael Jordan

5. Bo Jackson/Charles Barkley

6. Terry Bradshaw/Karl Malone

Louisiana Tech - Initially thought LSU, but thinking the BB player would be Shaq. Then I seemed to remember Bradshaw played for a smaller school. So 80% confident here.

Auburn. It would be hard to have a better year than Bo Jackson had in 1989: 32 HR, 105 RBI, 950 yards rushing

6. Terry Bradshaw/Karl Malone

Louisiana Tech

Lew Alcindor. Just about everybody got this. I guess I will scratch my Muhammad Ali question.
Louisiana Tech was my attempt at a stumper, but about half of you got it. When I was in college they were our main rivals. You could get bumper stickers that said WRECK TECH, and it did not take the students long to figure out they could take a couple of those stickers and cut and paste them to make one that said F--- TECH. Young minds at work. It's a beautiful thing.
