Follow my spring travels through some sports trivia.

Zeke made it pretty far from here to a symbol for the nba?

Without googling, where did I stop today?

I don't know if Cabin Creek is a real place or just a rhyming hillbilly nickname.

Real place. Real West Virginia coal mine town. I don’t think it is the name of a municipality. More like a landmark on a map

Zeke from cabin creek is Jerry west, nba hall of famer whose silhouette is the on the nba logo

Well done joe

Pointless is a good game show concept, I'm a little surprised it never got a shot here.

Day 2

This Norseman madly scrambled from this city into the nfl and just as famously in to the broadcast booth. Where was I today?

Richmond.


Joe Mfing Orr laying down knowledge on the people

Minnesota Viking Fran Tarkenton was know as the mad scrambled during his playing days before going into the Monday night football both. He hails from Richmond Virginia.

As an aside I am doing a premature college tour. I was incredibly impressed with the university of Richmond. I thought this was as an add on visit on the recommendation of a family friend in the business and walked out of there very comfortable with the prospect of sending my baby there in the future should he choose. The price is stiff but my friend told me she had seen that they were aggressively courting the Chicago area with financial incentives.

I am pretty sure it did because I remember watching it, and I don't illegally watch UK Game Shows without paying them the TV tax.

I don't see anything about an American adaptation. But I'd like to see how it would go. The only question is whether Americans could get their heads around what's basically Family Feud in reverse, and to do it without Steve Harvey going "I can't believe she said doo-doo ass!" or however that show goes now.

Richmond is a good school, but I wouldn't recommend it if your kid is planning on living in the Chicago area. The lack of a vibrant alumni network in the city will make it harder for your son to get a job--unless, of course, you're going to pull some strings for him.

If your kid is just looking for a small, liberal arts college experience, there are plenty of great options in the Midwest. There's nothing unique about UR, and Richmond itself is kind of a weird place, although the beer scene there is phenomenal.

Thanks tm. There were a few things particular to Richmond u that make it more attractive that I may be able to elaborate on when I’m not typing on a phone that you could review and address

Maybe I did watch it on Youtube or something, because as usual, you are right... I can't find anything about any US version or pilot. It is a great TV show concept.
