See above. My Trivia Quizzes are for New England Sports with some BC mixed in.

[Prof. Andrew Buni]

Andy Buni has more than a few correct. Wow. I am impressed. Unlike 81, I won't confirm which are correct and which are wrong. In fact, a couple are "partially" correct.

I agree on withholding the answers...heck, we've got 2 weeks to muddle through. I won't cheat and research them because I'm too lazy.

Scary confluence of randomness...last night, I get a call that my buddy's mom passed away...the guy who played on that Cross team in '69. I probably haven't seen him more than 3 times in the last 7 years. Wow !

You plugged in upstairs, campy ?

I will withold answers from now on. Good idea.

[1981Eagle]

I think I do because after I declare a winner based upon my answers then there still needs to be a dispute procedure and time limit because you or someone else may claim my answer is incorrect.

So? What matters more-- expediency or veracity?

Veracity of course but we can't have disputers coming in eons later and claiming a wrong answer/technicality. Everyone knows the start time so they know when they should be participating or checking in to see if they want to lodge a dispute. No?

TRE, I still want to see a pic that nude Twister game you and the Rat Pack play. I thought you had great photo shopping skills but I guess you can't come up with it.

[1981Eagle]

Although most of the contestants were gay, the game was technically co-ed Twister.

That guy has a skid mark. Tasty.

[b0mberMan]

That brochure says BC-Air Force.

[b0mberMan]

That brochure says BC-Air Force.

Yes, it does. Very good, bummer.

So does that mean the first night game was actually played against Air Force? Or did you post the wrong picture?

The key to your dilemma, little muffin, will be found by examining the opponent in the photograph. That will unlock the door of understanding.

Forgive me for not knowing that white uniform with non-descript dark-color numbers and stripe down the pants was what Tulane wore. I was nine years from making my appearance in this world at the time.

[b0mberMan]

No. I thought you had either given the wrong answer or posted the wrong picture. But I was able to figure out through your hint that it was the air force program with a pic of the Tulane game. The unis did nothing for me because, as I said, white with a non-descript black number and stripe isn't necessarily an iconic uniform.

WANG IS THE WINNER. He is missing one detail. John "The Sheik" Brazilian (now a Boston lawyer) was scheduled to pitch in the 1967 CWS in Omaha. The night before the game he slept next to the AC and woke up stiff, and was ineffective. BC lost.

FOR HIS PRIZE, Wang gets this beautiful full color picture of the first night game at Alumni Stadium, vs, Tulane in September, 1972, What a great prize, huh?

Andy Buni and AMDG should have won, but they couldn't "put it all together" the way Wang did. Wang is like a gull, swooping in. Honestly, Wang, did you know a single answer on this quiz? GREAT WORK!!!

This is the game versus AirForce where our WR Mel "Manos di Piedre" Briggs I think had to jump to catch a ball and dropped a few.

Since I was an Intramural "star", my buddies "asked" the Coach Yukica to send me in at halftime since I was fast and good but very small.

Joe wanted to punch us out and then my friends say but Mel can't catch anything....

I will pull a Campion and protest this win. This link http://gonu.com/football/090831-huskies ... rday.shtml clearly states that " The Northeastern Huskies ........................... Boston College has won all four previous meetings, which have all taken place in Chestnut Hill. The first three games came at old Alumni Stadium in the 1930s, including the 1938 game that was BC’s first-ever night game on campus.

All the right answers are upstream in this post and I would like to claim first place

Ah, but it was the first night game at Alumni Stadium as the question asks? I'm willing to bet Alumni wasn't erected (heh heh) in 1938.

[NotoriousOrange]

I believe Alumni Stadium (first version) was built in 1915

[b0mberMan]

I believe Alumni Stadium (first version) was built in 1915

"Alumni Field" was opened in 1915 on the Dustbowl. "Alumni Stadium" opened on lower campus in 1967.

EDIT: Why am I doing this? This is jizz-mopper's work.

Your contest is a flawed as 81's - My quote is from the official Atletic site of Boston College Eagles and your question made no mention of the current facility just "Alumni Stadium"

[apbc12]

Brazilian's law partner's name is Butters. That is glorious.

[BCEagle74]

could you two please just go have the sex and get it over with... sheesh

Do we have homohumping going on here?

I mean WTF is going on here?

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I mean I guess now its offical we have homosexuals on the site.

No matter, adultery is the same sin for homohumpers or regulars.

74's rant sensible statement got me thinking. Is this picture HR approved? Do we have to move this with our semi-Nazi policies to the MA's board?
