I guess that’s good. There are some really randoms on there, including some old walk-ons….

71?!

I only got 27. And I forgot Kristof. I’m a horrible fan.

Go, fight, and win.

Sporcle is the best invention ever

I am an expert in european capitals, african countries, asian countries, and some other general geographical quizzes. It provides entertainment when I do not want to do schoolwork.

Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.

Men of a Certain Age

A good friend of mine is a writer on that show, and actually wrote the third episode of this season (I believe). I told him to put something favorable about Syracuse in there, given the obvious ‘Cuse references noted above – but alas, he’s a Virginia Tech alum, and he pointedly declined my suggested.

Same here

I’m pissed that I missed Jason Cipolla because I couldn’t spell his damned name right (I probably still haven’t spelled it right, even here).

55

As soon as I gave up I had about 10 that I suddenly remembered, like Michael Lloyd. Glen Sekunda, Conrad McRae. For some reason I forgot about D Nich and Watkins. Bad Form by me.

Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10

I COMPLETELY blanked on the Watkins/D Nich guys

Kind of surprising, but it’s funny that we both did.

I lose

a good 4 hours every day due to Sporcle. It’s just so addicting, like you have to prove your knowledge about Minnesota Twins opening day lineups from 1994 to 2009.

One of the key contests in Syracuse's march to the national championship in 1959 was a titanic clash with unbeaten Penn State on Nov. 7, 1959 in University Park, PA. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 7 and the Orangemen No. 4. 

The 20-18 victory propelled Syracuse to the No. 1 in both the AP and UPI polls which they held for the remainder of the season to claim the consensus National Championship. This is the Universal Newsreel account of that contest.
