	Great idea for a quiz!!! Maybe 4 minutes (i don't know) 5 globes.

	@ This is a great idea for a quiz. Do you get any extras if you include the full list of Div I schools? Because since you use all 4 Big 4 sports, you probably should include all Div I schools. Also, Trail Blazers is two words.

	I have included the full list of Division I basketball schools. The ones marked 'y' on this quiz are the only nicknames that match up with nicknames from the Big 4. Thanks for the Trail Blazers comment.

	Check out that beautiful Gaussian distribution.

	I know Texas Tech is the Red Raiders, but which school is just the Raiders?

	alabamapaladin:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 22:22 GMT		2 points
	@kromclovinfasho: I think Colgate is just the Raiders now. Had a few "oh my goodness, did I really just miss that?" moments while taking this quiz. Very nice!

	koopa08:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 23:10 GMT		1 point
	HippieSlay: Technically, no. The Sun Devils are grouped with the Blue Devils and the Delta Devils. But no NCAA DI bball team is just the Devils. kromclovinfasho: Colgate and Wright State are the first schools that come to mind for just the Raiders.

	@krom Wright State is the Raiders. Excellent quiz.

	JoeFish:	Mar 14th, 2012 at 08:06 GMT		0 points
	Maybe instead of Y or N showing up, you could accept that but display an example school for the Ys? That would at least provide a bit of additional info for the least guessed ones.

	JoeFish: Thanks. I thought of doing that, but if there's more than one school, it usually only shows one, due to lack of space, which is why I chose not to. We'll see.

	So pretty much is it's an animal or a warrior press 'y' otherwise press 'n.' Won't be perfect, but you'll get most of them

	^or a warrior? whats a warrior?

	Kepi:	Mar 28th, 2012 at 04:12 GMT		1 point
