Bengals Fan Trivia (Put Your Knowledge to the Test!)

[Wes Mantooth]

It's super boring this time of year, and it seems like many of us are just running in circles in older threads so I thought I'd try to start a trivia thread.

These questions are just going to be off of the top of my head just to keep it to where I think they're not impossible and to save me from a bunch of research. I'm going to try to word some of them in a way that isn't easily googleable (not sure if this is a word). Some of course you will be able to look up, or research but let's all try to abide by the honor system; no cheating.

Feel free to pose questions of your own.

I'm gonna need a ruling on the Georgia players...cause i'm not wrong, technically. 

[Wes Mantooth]

So it appears I meesed up the Georgia question. I completely forgot about Boling, and honestly I didn't even know Shawn Williams went there.

I guess any 4 of the 6 (are they more?) would have to be right.

I was trying to fit a question that include the pair of LB's in '05 with AJ and Geno all going to the same school.  I completely screwed the pooch by not remembering the others.

And Orson Charles!  How did I forget Pollack???  Damn, what could have been.  Where did Thurman go?  Wasn't it also Georgia?

[Wes Mantooth]

So I don't know the "I'm so handsome" reference that a couple people have mentioned with Brad Johanson. Can someone fill me in?

[Wes Mantooth]

I think it might be kind of cool if a different poster each day or so posted their own trivia thread. I'm not sure if people would want to take the time to do it but it may be kind of a fun way to pass the time. (Fwiw, this only took about 5 minutes. You can just post whatever you already know that comes to mind without doing any research.)

Just a thought.
