Sorry West Coast trivia fans. EST 4eva
Day two's question, sort of piggybacking off of the Googling done verifying the first:
Who was the only NFL hall of famer to be selected in the supplemental draft?

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
Josh Gordon intends to be the second!
But I don't really have a good answer for the first.

Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
I forgot to say "not future Josh Gordon". He'll be number 2 if he keeps his head on straight.
I was asked this on FB as a follow up yesterday and couldn't come up with the answer. Had no idea the answer was taken in the supplemental.

Nope. The USFL supplemental drafts don't count. This player did not play in the USFL. Thanks, Trump.

Alright, gotta think of a Q for today. Let's get that first gold star out.
Who was the first sprinter to officially break the 10 second barrier?

Oddly enough, he has the third highest single season yardage total of the supplemental picks behind Gordon and Rob Moore.

I'll guess Carl Lewis, though that would be too easy of an answer for this quiz.

Nope. Between Lewis and Owens.
Shows you just how athletes and training have evolved. If you took Lewis in his prime and dropped him into the modern NCAA championship 100m race, he'd get absolutely smoked.

Yeah but getting smoked in the 100 is like a tenth of a second behind.

Re: Gunpowder's Gold Star Trivia
I had thought that it was, but not quite. I'll just end it for the week.
It was Jim Hines in 1968. Looking it up, he had actually ran sub-10 earlier in that year, so he didn't break 10 for the first time in Mexico City.
But your answer is JIM HINES.
Back next week to hoard more of these golden stars.

It was in Modesto, Ca, right? I remember the newspaper headlines the next day, I was about 11 or 12.
I could've at least come up with Bob Hays (wind-aided, hand-timed) five years or so earlier.
