I'm confident on 6 or 7 answers for that one. Naming an NBA player from UConn? Nope.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 7
I rarely go to check answers after I submit (and when I do it's usually one I thought I knew too many answers for and then figure I overthought it). Seems like you do.

EDIT: This year I don't think I've checked at all. Divas for example was an absolute guess but I just sent it and waited until the reveal. I did make sure Alice in Chains was part of the proper Unplugged after sending that one.
