1 – Neil Diamond encourages us (in song) to “Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies”. Why?
2 – Neil was on a National Championship team in (this sport), the same sport that Rutgers’ sole Natty was earned in. The sport?
3 – At the University of Arizona, football wins are celebrated by ringing a special bell. What’s special about it?
4 – Staying at U of A, the school motto came about in the 1920’s when a dying star athlete told the coach to “tell the boys – tell the team – to do (this). Do what?
5 – Staying in Tucson for one more question – there are numerous events in Tucson that attract visitors. Which of the following is NOT a famous Tucson event: Tucson Meet Yourself festival, Dia de las Muertos procession, Cactus Cook-Off contest or Tucson Gem and Mineral expo?
6,7 and 8 – Many famous Women’s Basketball Coaches are at their schools for a very, very long time. Can you identify the famous coaches associated with the following schools:
6 – Kansas (31 years)?
7 – North Dakota State (29 years)?
8 – Auburn (25 years)?
9, 10 and 11 – Many WBB coaches closely associated with a particular school got their start somewhere else. Can you name where these coaches got their start?
9 – Kay Yow of NC State (4 years)?
10 – Sylvia Hatchell of North Carolina (11 years)?
11 – Sue Gunter of LSU (12 years)?
12 – Last WBB question – Reversing the above – What long time coach started at Roane State Community College, a stint not recognized in NCAA win totals?
13 – Four New York Yankees managers have over 1000 wins – who has the most: Casey Stengel, Joe McCarthy, Joe Torre or Miller Huggins?
14 – It is monsoon season here where I live – what makes a storm a monsoon?
15 – Folks also fear the dreaded Haboob. What are they afraid of?
May Wirechief Rest In Peace. In his honor, this question, a version of which he offered, and which he had asked me about in the PM section:
16 – There is a statue known as “Willie the Silent” on the Rutgers campus. Who is being honored and what (loosely) is the connection?
