Bye Week Distraction Part Deux

[1981Eagle]

Trivia Contest 6.0

Past Winners:
1.0 Campion
2.0 TRE
3.0 Notorious Orange
4.0 HolyCross87/Campion
5.0 AC/Campion

Overall Standings: 2 points for win. Annual Prize after 52.0-$94.94 store credit at BC Bookstore or a donation of similar amount to Herzy’s cause in the name of EO or the posters handle at their choice

1. Campion 6 points
2. TRE -2 points
2. NO- 2 points
2. HC87-2 points
2. AC-2 points

To win, the winner must provide the ENTIRE list of correct answers in one post. You may learn from the right/wrong answers from previous posters answers. I will not provide guidance on which answers are right/wrong but might provide hints. The winner gets to change 81’s avatar.

I have spoken with all the representative bowl committees and I will be instituting a BC Rule aka "THE SAINT CAMPION OF TRIVIA RULE". If 81declares a winner then a disputer must 1.have participated in attempting to legitimately answer the questions in a prior post and 2. file such dispute within one hour of the winner being declared, in order for the dispute to be considered. To win the dispute, the disputer must be correct in such dispute by providing verifiable evidence which 81 can fact check. The dispute post must include throwing the Flag as they do in the NFL thus declaring the dispute. Without a prior post attempting to answer the questions, the flag and without submitting the dispute within one hour then the declared winner stands. 81 is the final decision-maker of the dispute/winner.

1. The locally-born outfielder for the late 1960’s Red Sox who was beaned by a ball and seriously hurt. Name the player and his place of birth. Also, name the pitcher who threw the beanball and his team.

2. Name two Boston-related American born hockey players to have scored more than 500 goals in the NHL. Hint: One born in Boston and one went to BC.

3. Name the diminutive running mate to Sam “The Bam” Cunningham that played for
the Pats?

4. Name the famous equestrian and ringmaster born in Brookline that ran the National
Horse Show at MSG?
Hint His nickname is the same as a former Mayor of Boston and member of the
Fitzgerald/Kennedy clan. His last name when added to his
nickname makes him sound like a “Bond” girl.

5. What fighter gave Brockton’s Marvelous Marvin Hagler his long-awaited shot at
the Middleweight title? Who won the fight?

6. Who was “The Springfield Rifle” and where did he play his college basketball?

7. Who was the first BC hockey player to score 20 goals in a season?

True but we don't really don't focus on the game until later in the week.

This is not BC trivia it's some New Engand BS trivia, who cares?

It's always New England Trivia with some BC stuff mixed in. Not a new formula.

[DrJackRyan]

"Joe Dudek" is one of the answers.

[gallopingghost]

Number one is pretty easy, Tony Conigliaro. He was from Swampscott, so I am going to say he was probobly born in either Swampscott or Lynn. I believe he still remains the youngest player to win the home run title at age 20 with 32 home runs. I once had an autographed baseball of Tony C from 1967 but did not put it in a case, and unfortunately it faded over the years so that eventually it became un readible. He was beaned by Jack Hamilton. One of the papers did an article about him a couple of years back, and he eventually wound up running a bar someplace. One can only speculate as to what might have been had Tony not been hit that day during the AL penant race of 1967.

Number 9 would be Joe Duceck, who played at Plymoth State.

On page 420 of the Denver Broncos' media guide is a chronological list of every 100-yard rushing performance by a Bronco. Near the top, Floyd Little and Otis Armstrong dominate the list. Down low, Terrell Davis is everywhere. Someplace near the middle, easily missed, is this line: JOE DUDEK...23-128, 2 TDS...OCT. 12, 1987 VS. L.A. RAIDERS.

The line's simplicity belies, at least in Dudek's eyes, a crowning moment. For one game, a 30-14 win over the hated Raiders, Dudek proved to himself that he had the goods to thrive in pro football. So what if it was a scab contest during an NFL strike? "That was my statement to the big boys," says Dudek. "I may have come from a small school, but I could play."

Eleven years later Dudek gets chills when he remembers cutting through the silver and black. He revels even more, however, in recalling that in 1985, as a 6'1", 195-pound senior running back at Division III Plymouth ( N.H.) State, he scored a college-record 79 touchdowns and, largely thanks to SI's Dec. 2 cover story, became a Heisman Trophy candidate. "I haven't been the same ever since," says Dudek, 35. "I'll always be remembered as SI's choice for the Heisman."

Truth be told, neither SI nor Dudek thought he had a real shot at winning the award. (He finished ninth, 1,453 votes behind winner Bo Jackson of Alabama.) The point was, small-college players such as Dudek, scrappy little guys with big hearts, deserve some attention too. Upon leaving Plymouth State after the '85 season, Dudek signed with the Broncos, who kept him on the taxi squad during '86. He was cut in training camp before the '87 season, but he came back to play in those two replacement games. Soon after, Denver let him go for good. "I've never been too disappointed," he says. "When I left high school, I was hardly recruited. I ended up being part of two Super Bowl teams." Not only that, but last August he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Dudek lives in Derry, N.H., and works as an account manager for Coors. He and his wife, Jodi, have a two-year-old son, Joey. Joe is finishing his college education, in business management, at Plymouth State. "I've had two great spans in my life," he says. "The first was that senior year of college, with the rushing records and the cover. The second, with the Hall of Fame and my family and my job, is right now."

There is no way that my first response was off by 2.5.

[1981Eagle]

It still is off by 2.5. Sorry. Melrose is not Boston.

[1981Eagle]

Me thinks I have Campion stumped on a few of these questions so he is laying back like a Cobra waiting to see if someone answers the few he can't so he can swoop in for the victory. Either that or he is drowning in squirt. Probably the latter.

I actually worked for that one. Note to the MTBSC: I will take suggestions for 81's new avatar, but I think that the current one fits quite nicely. Suggestions from others are also welcome.

EndlessMike's suggestions will be given strong consideration.
