Well, you can't just hang around in the parking lot, waiting for the doors to open for Senior Night,
so do this instead.

No research nor reprinting questions please.
1..The % of Div 1 athletic directors who are African American: 15, 12, 9, 6, 3, or 0.

2..MLK Day began when who was Prez?

3..What fellow makes flash freezing food a commercial success?

4..Name of the annual Halloween party in Key West?

5..In 1881 this state is first to ban alcohol.

6..The most populous country to drive on the left?

7..Make sense of this: She plays for UConn and turns to Maya saying,
"I think we're alone now".

8..Link Stephen Sondheim to Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.

9..What rocker called the Prez a "subhuman mongrel"?

10..Early in the 19thC this former Veep is tried for treason and acquitted.

11..The range of the honey badger?

12..First Teresa Brewer sang this; then about 10 years later, so did the Sensations.

13..In 1836 who patented a revolver?

2..Reagan

3..Birdseye.


8..A Little Night Music (from Bergman's "Smiles of a Summer Night".)

9..Just Ted being Ted.

10..Burr

13. Sam Colt

I try not to look this stuff up to see if I really know the answers. Funny, but for #3 I instantly thought of George Foreman. Cracked me up he produced the Foreman grill for COOKING. Ha ha.

Elzoroggris' comment messed me up too. Now I know I'm probably dyslexic too.

12..Theresa referred to a nickelodeon, but a decade later the Sensations
dropped the word, knowing that a song cost a dime.

8.. He penned "A Little Night Music, the translation of the Mozart piece.
Zorro did give us the English.

9..VAUC, zorro & 76 claim it's scandalous Ted Nugent. OK, I'm the
one who added "scandalous".

10..Aaron Burr; Zorro is also a successful duelist.

11..Pinot, raised by wolves as he was, knows to stay in America, while the
beast plies his trade in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia.

12..Music, Music, Music

13..The zorro quartet has Samuel Colt.

11. Almost limitless



Always she'd have a break out year beyond belief after seeing this vid. Never did. DT could do this in a game. It shows how game vs practice can differ. Thanks for posting this. Sorry Wire C, I know it's your thread, but Pap started it.

1. So, can we conclude that the SWAC and the MEAC are not considered Division 1 because they are not Division 1 football programs?

Then your original question would have served just as well! If zero % of ADs are African Americans, then, ipso facto, zero % 0f African Americans are ADs. Scuse me for protrudin, Kingfish, as Andrew H Brown used to say.

I still disavow my original wording and thank you for protrudin.
