4:23 left, oddly enough was stumped with two shools left for about a minute before remembering Illinois and Missouri. I guess Braggin' Rights must be absolutely irrelevant in my subconscious.

I had just under 6 minutes left, and still had 2 schools to go. Then some customers came in and by the time I finished helping them my time was up. I would like to think I would have gotten them both, but there's no way of knowing. For some reason I couldn't remember Iowa State even though I had already listed Iowa. The other one was good old South Florida from the Big East.

Took me longer -- couldn't remember Notre Dame, imagine that. Nobody show this to a certain columnist at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, but apparently GU is the #9 least memorable team across America. #1-8 are: Providence, Seton Hall, DePaul, Marquette, Villanova, St. John's, Cincinnati, and S. Florida. www.sporcle.com/games/ncaamajorconference_results.php |

Notre Dame was my last one too. I think it was because I was going by states, and I thought Indiana got all used up in the Big Ten column.

I crushed the Simpsons test in a couple minutes except for Homer's mom's name. Would never have remembered it in a million years. The team name quiz was simple. The "Beer Slogan" test was fun. I had the same issue with the Simpsons test except it was Eddie the cop and not Mona. |

I got them all in about two minutes until I got tripped up by Ole Miss (wait, they aren't the Fighting Elis?) and Marquette. Things I tried before I got it right: Flash Gold Warriors Flu Golden Flash Eagles Run around and desert you Flashing Golden Warriors Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoats Golden Flu Fightin' Flu Flashy Flu Golden Flu with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you |

I couldn't remember Wazzu or Texas Tech for some reason on the team names, but didn't have too much trouble with the rest, except for Cal. I tried putting Bears in about 20 times and was silently swearing at survey errors before I remembered to add "Golden." The Simpsons?.......please. (though, I'll admit, I couldn't remember Brandine for a while as the clock ticked away, but it came to me after a minute or two). This one DOES have an unfair answer in it... www.sporcle.com/games/secretidentities.phpIf you can figure out which one it is, I declare you a complete geek and loser like me. |

I would have been about a minute quicker if I could spell cavaliers. Also, the stupid [Golden] Bears and [Golden] Gophers and [Corn]huskers and [Fighting] Illini kept messing me up too.
