	Why is "Pa" accepted for Joe Paterno? People call him JoePa, but never just "Pa"...

	colinc28:	Jan 9th, 2011 at 16:34 GMT	6 points
	agreed, stupid to just accept "Pa"

	pete32782:	Jan 9th, 2011 at 17:22 GMT	1 point
	Unless it's been changed, it accepts Joe Pa, and not just Pa.

	Be fun to hae a quiz asking which NFL coaches have been in the most playoff games.

	Dralcoffin:	Jan 9th, 2011 at 18:43 GMT	2 points
	^^I'm on it. This is a nice quiz by the way. I'm glad to see Hayden Fry on here; hopefully Kirk Ferentz will make this list as well (9 bowls so far).

	If you are taking Joe Pa as an answer, it will take Pa since it will read that as his last name.

	Nice title, were some bowl games coached more than others? I'm pretty sure you mean Most Bowl-Games Coached.

	Good quiz, but needs renaming. The number of bowl appearances is the career number for each coach. For example, MAck Brown has only coached Texas to 12 bowl games, while taking UNC to 5 and Tulane to 1. Drop the college to the left, or explain it is a hint based on the school the coach may have garnered the most fame or time served, or whatever.

	Joe Paterno is a true legend

	@ac65, it does say at the top that it is the school where most of the bowl games were played at next to the little *

	@BobMillah: make sure you know what you're talking about before you make ignorant comments. Coach Beamer got his scar as a child from a fire.

	Jon:	Jan 10th, 2011 at 00:52 GMT	0 points
	Yeah that was a little confusing. Just drop the school names. I know you said it at the top but I never read those - I see the school name and start answering the top ones who reached almost all their bowls at those schools - then I start thinking that way. When it was over and I saw you had Holtz at 22 bowl games only then did I fully realize I did the quiz wrong.

	Wow, I was surprised that the Ohio State guy is not the one who immediately leapt to mind.

	Surprised not to see a usc coach on this list. Great quiz.

	Big 10 coaches from the mid 70's and earlier were hurt by the fact that only one school from the conference went to a bowl game(Rose Bowl) each season.

	ClintT13:	Jan 14th, 2011 at 21:34 GMT	-2 points
	@doughash ... not really. Pretty much every conference operated that way until the mid-70s. There may be 36 bowl games now, but there were less than 10 through most of the 60s and 70s. The Big 10 and Pac 10 champs went to the Rose Bowl. The Big 8 champ went to the Orange Bowl. The SWC champ went to the Cotton Bowl. Etc. If you didn't win your conference, you pretty much stayed home.

	@troyc4 and crazycat72 maybe you should pay more attention to the comments in the directions. "School is where most bowl games were played at, some coaches coached at more than 1 school" Lou Holtz went to a bowl game coaching William & Mary. He went to 4 bowl games at NC State. 6 bowl games at Arkansas. He coached the Irish to 9 bowl appearances, and South Carolina to 2. That's 22 bowl appearances, the MOST of which were with Notre Dame. He also led Minnesota to a bowl appearance, but left for the Notre Dame job, and thus did not actually coach the bowl game, or else the number would be 23.

	Clint, go look who they played in the Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl or Cotton Bowl. Often it was a school from another major conference. Plus you had several minor bowls such as the Sun Bowl (started in 1935), Gator Bowl (started in 1945), and Liberty Bowl (started in 1959). The Big 10 was the only one not sending multiple teams to bowls on an annual basis.

	Surprised (and delighted, since I'm a Michigan Man) that Woody Hayes isn't the OSU representative.
