1981Eagle {l Wrote}:HC87, the winner of Trivia 4.0. I will post up the HC logo avatar in the morning. Thanks to all for playing.

Bonus Question: When was the last TOTAL Solar Eclipse in Massachusetts and what was the ONLY viewing spot in the State?





Answer: South Monomoy Point on Cape Cod way south of Chatham in March 1970. What can I say, my dad worked at NASA after he did the janitor thing at BC and banged all those coeds.

Leominster/Fitchburg is the answer to #2
Auburn is the answer to #9. It's a trick question because Auburn's nickname was the Dandies until 1992 so I gave that hint correctly since I was referring to their hockey teams in the 60/70"s. They changed their nickname to the Rockets in 1992.

If you present, all the correct answers in ONE POST, then HC wins. I have the perfect avatar for you--the HC logo as my avatar. But, you have to complete the task to win bf someone beats you to it. :lol: :lol: :lol:



DANDIES??? Worst name ever. May as well have been "Pansies."

[quote="campion"]Hey 81. Needham and Wellesley are both west of 128, so no one won your poll. Except for me.[/quote

St. Campion of Trivia is correct. Needham is JUST barely outside route 128. No matter, I am putting up Campion's HC logo which covers both him and HC87 as joint winners of Trivia Contest 4.0.

Campion will know the details but I believe that this was a specialty of the McFugger clan originally from County Cork. Campion, do you remember which of the four McFugger brothers completed this feat? It goes back a ways but I think one was versus Georgetown when they were a national power, another versus Xavier (pronounced Zavier) and maybe one more versus Detroit but there may be only two brothers that did it. St. Campion of Trivia will know. :whiteflag :whiteflag :whiteflag

I have no idea but since it's from Campion, I will assume it's correct. Hail to the Trivia Chief. :pontif :pontif :pontif

Excellent but #9 is Auburn. But, it's unclear how much everyone benefitted from other answers. If you did this without looking then that is indeed impressive. I owe you one avatar change. :lol: :lol:
