	Okay, so I maintain that I created this quiz with the best of intentions, but it ended up being somewhat difficult. There are plenty of very obscure players who would fit in this quiz, but I decided to pick ones who are either less obscure or rather recent. Let me know if you think of anyone I've missed and I'll add them. (For what it's worth, I wanted this to be a multiple-sport quiz but I couldn't seem to find any examples in the others.)

	Clever idea...trying to rack my brain for more.

	Best I can come up with is Mike Mamula, who went to BC then played for Philly.

	Fun quiz, you should try to create some for other sports too!

	The Bucs player is a DB, right?

	Ron Rivera played for the Chicago Bears and the California Golden Bears.

	JayO:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 17:17 GMT		1 point
	Ooh, good call scoofer, definitely a typo. Regarding Ron Rivera, I can't decide whether Cal should count as Bears or not. Also not sure if his career is notable enough to warrant appearing here. He only started for three years, no Pro Bowls, but perhaps his role as Super Bowl defensive coordinator for the Bears could be enough. I'm thinking about it.

	(No wonder no one guessed the Bucs guy. He's difficult enough as it is!)

	good idea for quiz

	mlbnflwhiz:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 22:18 GMT		1 point
	id suggest, to make it easier, that you put the player name and ask what team (geo. name) and college (U name) they went to. wouldnt be that easy, but not so difficult

	JayO:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 22:26 GMT		1 point
	mlbnflwhiz, I think it's good when (some) quizzes are difficult, for learning purposes, but your suggestion sounds like a good idea for a new quiz: D1 colleges whose mascots are the same as teams in pro leagues. Not sure if this exists already, but if it does, I'm going to enjoy it soon.
