Here's a game on Sporcle today. Trivia on NCAA helmets pre-1985. We get a little shout out, yet are one of the most frequently missed. I just missed one helmet, keeping me from a perfect score. See how well you can do.

That was kind of fun. I got 18 of 20. I missed the one that was most often missed and another that upon seeing the answer I definitely should have figured out.  I probably didn't see many of those helmets when they were being worn, but most weren't too hard to figure out with a little knowledge of school nicknames and colors.

Missed the one with the mascot I could not even figure out what it was!

Well, I was too slow, by the time the ticker ran out I had only gotten 14 of them.  I spent too much time on New Mexico and Connecticut, especially the latter.  I tried Colgate and Cincinnati and was wracking my brain for another school that started with a "C" (I already had gotten Clemson, an easy one), and I for some reason couldn't think of Connecticut.

With all the flash player and interactive graphics, I was unable to play such a dynamic site on my primitive machine. Way beyond its time and real cutting edge stuff. By the way the shuttle from our Lexington Hotel will leave every 20 min up until game time.


By the way, perfect on the trivia game ;-)
