Try this on for size: Name the 8 players from SEC schools that have started at quarterback for the Saints. Bonus: Name four more Saints QBs who played for current SEC schools before they were members of the conference.

The whole point of the game is to try and do it without Googling the answers. I would have gotten Archie, Shuler, Fourcade, and Weurffel. I forgot that both the Snake and Richard Todd were our QB for awhile. I remember Bobby Scott, but didn't know he went to UT and have no idea who Ronnie Lee South or Edd Hargett are; as they QB'd the Saints before I was born.
Yep, South and Hargett are Tulane Stadium Saints. And I made two mistakes; I thought the 8th starter was Hodson. He played, but never started. Same error on Chase Daniel as one of the bonuses. South and Hargett, along with Billy Joe Tolliver, are the 3 bonus answers. I asked that question from memory, rather than fact checking through google.
I remembered Billy Joe Tolliver as I was going through the list in my head, but I thought he went to Texas Tech, not A&M.
It had the makings of a really good question and I was racking my brain trying to figure it out the 3 that t_f didn't post. Glad to know that I'm not showing early signs of dementia, but you might be.
nope, just too many irons in the fire to play trivia time. I'll come up with something better as an appetizer for Roasted Falcon. Speaking of which, I wish we could get people in here to use the chat room during Saints games. I know it makes the LSU games more fun when I'm watching by myself.
I would join you here on Sunday, but I'll be in the dome. Maybe next game? I'm usually texting 3-4 different people during the games anyway, so it probably would be more efficient to have them all meet up in the chat room.
