Reading is fundamental and shit. Chalk that one up to having more time to hit the Kindles in the truck.

I gotta say as a fellow MAC guy this disappoints me. There is no University of Ohio just like there isn't a University of Central Michigan.

No worries just messing with you...since I'm a Miami guy I technically am not supposed to give a shit what happens in Athens.

I think it’s amusing that of all the highly drafted QBs out of Miami, the only one who won the Super Bowl as a starter* was the one who went to the one in Ohio.

You forgot your footnote. In what context was he not necessarily the starter in either Super Bowl?

Bernie Kosar was the backup on one of those Cowboys Super Bowls in the 90s. If I’m not mistaken that’s the only title by a Miami QB.

Okay, here's a good tough one...

Name the five colleges that have produced both a Super Bowl winning quarterback and a POTUS.

Damn! Princeton not on my list. Forgot to include the "as a starter" caveat.

Name the only university to produce a POTUS and a WR who caught nine passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns, while also returning three kickoffs for 46 yards in a Super Bowl.

Yup! Although the Googles are telling me he went to Delaware for undergrad and Syracuse for law school.

Right. I had that backwards. Biden/Harris is the first President/VP combo with no Ivy alumni since Carter/Humphrey.

Former Celtic great Dalano Banton went 0-15 from three tonight, shattering the old 0-12 mark. What player holds the record for most games of 10 or more 3-point attempts with 0 or 1 makes?
