Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 9:55 am

Sorry wlu, but that calendar is awful. Everybody who isn't a terrorist loves triv and so I'm going to see if I can come up with a better daily question. Winner gets a GOLD FUCKING STAR (stars are fiat and not backed by actual gold). Gold fucking stars can be traded for goods and services such as PBRs and frotting.

FIRST Q: Who became the first sophomore to declare for the NFL draft?

Legally?

Is it Johnny Football?

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 10:04 am

Yes to Dave and no to Jerloma.

Sophomore by football eligibility.

99% positive it isn't Johnny football. Aldon Smith did it at Missouri I believe, but no idea if he was the first, but he is my guess.

Nope. Keep going back

Didn't a D-lineman get drafted by the Cardinals with no college experience? I know you need to be 3 years removed from high school, but I recall someone doing this somehow.

I'll throw out a guess of Maurice Clarrett. Is he in the Hall of Fame yet? Can't miss prospect.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 10:18 am

No and no.

Post by **Shirley** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 10:19 am

Clarrett is who I was thinking of, but he wasn't eligible yet and had to sue. He lost, I think.

I remembered the lawsuit, but not the result.

Clarett and Mike Williams won their lawsuit and then lost on appeal. And then the NCAA dictators didn't give them an exception, putting them in limbo for a year. I think the NCAA should have reinstated them, but apparently they don't really give too much of a shit about their athletes.

Anyway, it wasn't Clarett.

Johnny Rodgers.

(It has to be a Johnny, right?)

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 10:34 am

Dave Winfield? (or was it Spencer Haywood?)

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 10:51 am

Nope and nope. Thread will stay open until about 5 pm, so keep guessin'.

Maybe someone from one of the military academies due to their service obligation? Roger Staubach?

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 10:58 am

Nope.

Larry Fitzgerald

No on Lar-bear.

(I mean Elway?)

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 12:05 pm

Nope on the Horseface.

Eric Dickerson

Nope.

Post by **brian** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 12:25 pm

Larry Fitzgerald?

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 12:31 pm

Not Fitz.

I'm thinking Gunpowder Trivia will have no hints.

Kinda power-trippy.

Gold Stars are so 2006 anyway.

Gale Sayers?

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 1:09 pm

Nope.

Asked some other people, and one said Bernie Kosar, which looks damn correct. However, he went in the supplemental draft that they created for him.

So - it's not Bernie Kosar. First to declare for the real NFL draft in April.

No hints. No Googlin'. Proper thing.

(And I have no idea what the answer is. I would have incorrectly guessed something crazy like Kellen Winslow or Lee Roy Selmon or Chuck Muncie)

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 1:44 pm

Weirdly, this one is very difficult to Google. I tried to confirm my answer and couldn't get a result without inserting his name in the search (which is why I missed Kosar).

Bo Jackson?

Think we still have a high enough traffic rate for Swamp Jeopardy to function?

Not Bo. He played the full 4 years, which would be crazy these days.

Yes. For sure. I'd love to put that together or participate. Absolutely. Just need three contestants and a spare to commit time (couple of hours). I'll try to come up with a fabulous prize.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 2:00 pm

I'm gonna end this one at 2:30. Get your last ditch guesses in!

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 2:16 pm

Mike "The Pitbull" Vick?

ETA: I'll give myself a nope, as I think I found the answer. Unless he (or she) played a different position than the guy I am thinking of.

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 2:26 pm

Hmmm . . . "declared" doesn't mean anyone actually drafted him. Yeah, I have no idea.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Jan 29, 2014 2:52 pm

I probably could have worded it better.

Anyway, the answer is...

TODD MARINOVICH

Shit, now I remember that. Should've known.
