	I think that just Chattanooga should be accepted for T.O., because that's what a lot of people refer to it as.

	JohnJF:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 08:49 GMT	4 points
	With the exception of a few abbreviation issues (Southern Cal and Brigham Young should be accepted, as should the shorthand versions), this quiz is an instant classic. Its extreme length do nothing but add to its epic greatness.

	agree with JohnJF, NIU needs to work for northern illinois as well

	I wish I knew how to format the answers to let it do that. I agree with you guys. If Sporcle ever verified this quiz and made it public, I would hope they would. Do you know how to format them to accept all of those answers?

	hscer:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 23:42 GMT	0 points
	Separate alternate answers by slashes. So "BYU/brigham young" or "USC/southern cal" (it's not case sensitive) would be examples.

	This is my favorite quiz on Sporcle. I love quizzes like this, and I think it was executed perfectly (minus the small issues with acceptable answers). The quiz was very tough, but not impossible and had a great variety of teams and eras the players played in. I would love if you did another one of these. In fact, I might make one myself, though it probably won't be as good. Thanks.

	Despite the length, which was good, it could stand to be shortened a bit. Instead of 10 minutes, maybe 6 or 7 would suffice. I got 47 out of 50 in a little over three minutes.

	rpg328:	Sep 29th, 2009 at 09:47 GMT	0 points
	Alright guys, I reformatted some of the answers. Sorry about that.

	Craig:	Sep 29th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT	0 points
	Great quiz, though I did pretty poorly on it. It would be splendid if WVU worked for West Virginia.

	webmaestro2000:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 03:00 GMT	3 points
	nice puzzle! Wouldn't mind a sequel.

	mjenks:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 21:03 GMT	-4 points
	Should Notre Dame and Florida State also work for Randy Moss?

	sub:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	0 points
	Southern California doesn't work for Boselli at the time of this comment

	Mr_Negative:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 21:10 GMT	3 points
	FSU should work for Florida State.

	Chest Rockwell:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 21:21 GMT	0 points
	How does California not work for Gonzalez?

	airbakin:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 21:59 GMT	2 points
	No Notre Dame alums HA!

	tobinw:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 21:59 GMT	-1 points
	Just another abbreviation suggestion: "Pitt" for Pittsburgh. 47/50. Didn't know some of the older ones (Tarkenton, Tittle, etc.)

	Mr_Negative:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 22:02 GMT	1 point
	@mjenks Alma Mater in this case means the school you graduated from.

	rpg328:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 22:31 GMT	0 points
	Cal and Southern Cal work for Gonzalez and Boselli, so if you're trying to spell California, then the correct answer should appear.

	ShveLaSoul:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 22:43 GMT	2 points
	I can't believe Andre Ware is on this list. You should have a separate quiz for NFL busts' Alma Matters.

	JohnJF:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 23:05 GMT	1 point
	@Mr_Negative: Many of these guys didn't graduate from their given university. I would say that in this context alma mater refers to the most recent school of the player.

	Mr_Negative:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 23:24 GMT	2 points
	@JohnJF Ok, so what school they were drafted out of.

	loose_cannon:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 23:27 GMT	0 points
	And a big FU to Notre Dame and its fans everywhere.

	sub:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 00:21 GMT	0 points
	@rpg328: while Southern Cal does indeed work for Boselli, Southern California does not.

	rpg328:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 00:31 GMT	0 points
	If you're typing Southern California, wouldn't Southern Cal suffice since you have to type Cal to get to California?

	Fun quiz... alma maters are not my forte (oh well). Per prior comments regarding abbreviations, tried 'UT' for Priest Holmes, wasn't accepted.

	NobleDB:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 02:09 GMT	0 points
	Sweet quiz, you should make an alma maters 2 with more recent players so its easier.

	Got 0/50 are colleges important in sport in usa?

	thelargeone:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 03:33 GMT	2 points
	no Notre dame! hahahahaha Didnt do so hot but that made me happy.

	ElDavo:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 04:15 GMT	1 point
	Aw. I decided since I didn't know any of these that I would just search for guys from Virginia. Of course I know that the Barbers played there, but I was going too fast so I skipped over him. The ONE guy that I knew, and I didn't see him.

	jaspa:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 07:42 GMT	0 points
	@Mr. Negative: No, because I know at least Kurt Warner was not drafted from UNI. He was picked up from the Arena Football League. UNI is simply where he played his college ball.

	drhaase:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 07:55 GMT	-2 points
	there was no Notre Dame because Sporcle just couldn't decide which Heisman Trophy winner to put on there. hell i think a great idea for a sports quiz would be taking Notre Dame alums and having to guess the teams that drafted them.....GO IRISH!!!!

	shortbus05:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 08:27 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz, I used to love playing the game with my buddies "where did this guy go to school?"

	Wilford_Brimley:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 12:14 GMT	0 points
	How was there not a single player from UCLA included on this quiz?

	sub:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 16:49 GMT	1 point
	@rpg328: not if you type fast

	Jon:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 18:55 GMT	1 point
	Can't believe I did so poorly 21/50. That's what I get for being one of the few American males who doesn't pay attention to the NFL anymore...except the G-Men!

	robschulz:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 11:01 GMT	1 point
	How in the WORLD is Y.A. Tittle at the bottom of this list?! He's in the Hall of Fame!! Do some research, kids.
