Scoring Notes

• Participants may challenge scoring rulings, but must provide a link backing up their arguments.

• I used this link for all-time rosters, and this link for coaching years. Sport Reference was also used to supplement and corroborate the above links.

• Despite the header picture, players who are slated to play for Coach Hurley this season were not counted, as they technically haven't played a game under Hurley yet.

• Some of you really made me dig to find answers. For example, Jimmy Zullo played just 4 career games, all in 1963; the season Hugh Greer passed away and George Wigton took over as coach midseason.

 

[ZenConn]

Hoagland and Jimmy Zullo? What??

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

@RichZ LOVE the Corley answer

 

[RichZ]

@RichZ LOVE the Corley answer

It was between him and Spider, but I could spell Corley without looking it up.

FIFY.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

At first I was thinking Hesford, but Ursery(?) I suppose (who I think someone else mentioned)

 

[RichZ]

Ursery, but I swear, I couldn't remember the 1st R, and when I wrote Usery, it looked wrong. Could've been worse. I could've typed Usury.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Ursery, but I swear, I couldn't remember the 1st R, and when I wrote Usery, it looked wrong. Could've been worse. I could've typed Usury.

Either way, at a young age I was under the impression that it was common for teams to have a Spider. Certainly put me in a ready position for the Dove when he came along.

Yeah, in the days of yore, it was a pretty common nickname for guys with Ursery's build -- tall & skinny with long limbs and a short torso.

 

[Dove]

That moment you realize it was Albany UCONN barely beat and not Binghamton.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Someone this year will look at their ticket stub as they enter the XL Center and say, "UMass-Lowell???"

 

[HuskyHawk]

Ursery, but I swear, I couldn't remember the 1st R, and when I wrote Usery, it looked wrong. Could've been worse. I could've typed Usury.

In hindsight, I should have realized Phil Gamble was too easy to spell.

 

[HuskyFich]

What a stupid answer for Q16 for me. Guess I should stick to the generation I grew up in....

 

[Dove]

@RichZ LOVE the Corley answer

Points be damned I had to give Jeff King a hat tip.

 

[Minicoop69]

Wasn't sure this was over already? Been no update.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Wasn't sure this was over already? Been no update.

I'm on record predicting one of the entrants of this game will die of a long term medical condition before it's over.

 

[jfuchs91]

Apologies for the delay, guys. This will be back up and running Friday and we'll have a champion crowned on Monday.

The more I think about it, you need to play the whole game as a sheep.

 

[nyhuskies13]

Question 17 is such a contrarian question... everyone thinking about who everyone else will pick and trying to choose an obscure player

Those who picked recent studs crushed it

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

The more I think about it, you need to play the whole game as a sheep.

Only works if you’re the only person playing that strategy

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Only works if you’re the only person playing that strategy

Even if 3-5 people are, it's still almost better.

No Robert “Spider” Ursery among the incorrect answers? I’m disappointed.
