    They aren't perfect? Then I don't even see any point in giving my answers then. I got the same answers anyways. Oh well.

    Nah, I was just assuming since he's one of the more older cats around here, and he's a Clipper fan, on top of that he knows his stuff. But that shouldn't keep other people from answering, he probably is right though.

    Yeah, I missed #3, #4, and #5. All I knew was that Maurice Taylor went to Michigan, so I took my chances with him. [​IMG]

    #4, I knew UCLA has a player named Cedric Bozeman, and then of course I knew of T.J. Cummings, but I just took my chances with Bozeman. Tough Luck. [​IMG]

    #5, I knew Mike Bibby won a national championship in his first year, and it came to me that Henry did as well and I just put them, wrong again. :thumbsdow

    I'll do better next time, nice job Og, and good questions NMG, next time I won't say anything. [​IMG]

    LOL. Yeah, I'm pretty full of trivial Clipper knowledge that very few people care about. :mrgreen:

    I wasn't 100% sure about the last question though, couldn't remember what year Chris Johnson began his college career.
