shrader Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I heard a random bit of information on the radio and it got me thinking that this could be a fun thread. I just want to lay out two ground rules before I kick this off. 1. If you are going to post a response, put it in white text or something so that others aren't spoiled and get their shot. 2. Don't Google answers before posting. Let's keep this fun. I like digging around in my head trying to figure out the answers. So here's the random fact of the day for me. Six Americans have been drafted first overall. Name them. In the spirit of the thread, I have not looked up the answer. I can get 4 of them so far.

Hoss Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) This is one of those where I don't believe anybody could get all six without googling it/piecing together from other posts.

shrader Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Feel free to throw any questions out there that come to mind. I heard Matthew Barnaby on the radio yesterday saying that he played for 7 teams (could only think of 3 of them). I was thinking of using that one but it's pretty boring and obscure. There must be something more entertaining out there than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 This is one of those where I don't believe anybody could get all six without googling it/piecing together from other posts. That is because you didn't see some of those guys play. I got 4 immediately, remembered Berard and actually Erik Johnson took me the longest. I'm just too technologically challenged to know how to post them without ruining it for everyone. I do admit that I read your post about Lawton before thinking about the answer but I'm pretty sure I would have remembered him as well.

Totally forgot that Johnson was a #1. Could easily see a lot of people getting all 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 How about this one since six was the number of choice. Six Sabre head coaches actually played for the team. Can you name them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spndnchz Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Third little button (green) on the top left next to font on the post menu is BBCode. highlight text, click button, drop down choose spoiler. Done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Smith, Ruff, Ramsay, Schoenfeld, Dudley, Inglis Last one took a little thought. I would guess that the first and last you listed would be the only ones that would stump most with the last definitely the toughest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
