Rams Trivia Time

[Vitamike]

I recently found an unopened NFL board game called: The Los Angeles Rams Trivia Game

I remember getting this, it was the Christmas prior to the LA Rams departure from the Southland.

I never opened it....

Until today!

So with that and considering we are in some dog days here until the NFL draft, I thought it would be fun to post a few questions a day and keep score for those who participate.

I have no idea how these questions are formatted so understand any all time great answers probably only consider information sometime up to 1994.

Let's have some fun and I'll try to keep score if we gather enough interest...

Of course I must recuse myself, since I have all the answers but here's the rules.

The answer must meet the answer on the trivia card regardless to what we may find on line.

Good Luck!

Thanks Vita makes my brain work which gets harder all the time. Let me guess a few.

Hacksaw Reynolds cut I think a chevy up after losing a college football game with a hacksaw.

Earl campbell was a stud and wore #34

I don't remember much really about Isiah Robertson

Charlie Joiner was drafted by the Oilers but I remember him most with the Chargers.

I know Bubba had a brother he played some with but I don't know his name.

Bowling ball RB for Oilers, have no idea.

Fun remembering some stuff though.

 

[Battlelyon]

Yeah, Hacksaw destroyed his car after a lost, but I thought it was in the pros.

Good Job Blue,

Here's the answers...

• How did Jack 'Hacksaw' Reynolds, former Rams Linebacker get his name?

Blue, you are right... Frustrated after a college loss, he cut an auto in half with a hacksaw.​

• What jersey number did Earl Campbell wear with the Houston Oilers?

Right again Blue... No. 34!​

• What nickname was Isiah Robertson given by his Rams teammates?

... Butch​

• Charlie Joiner, the NFL's all-time leading receiver, began his pro career with what team?

Another good call, I too remember him mostly as a Charger... Houston Oilers​

• What is the name of Bubba Smith's brother wo was a defensive end with Bubba on the Houston Oilers in the mid-1970's?

... Tody Smith​

• What bowling ball-like running back was the Houston Oilers' first 1,000 yard rusher?

... Charley Tolar​

 

[Vitamike]

Yeah, Hacksaw destroyed his car after a lost, but I thought it was in the pros.

Thursday's Trivia:

1. Wide Receiver Jack Snow of the Rams played at what Long Beach High School?
2. Who was the 10 year Safety who still holds the Buffalo Bills' record for most consecutive games played?
3. George Stugar, now a Los Angeles Trucking Executive, played Defensive Tackle for the Rams from 1957-1961 after graduating from which University?
4. Who scored nearly twice as many touchdowns as any other player in Buffalo Bills history?
5. In What year did O.J. Simpson gain more than 2,000 yards rushing?
6. Name the three AFC teams that, as of 1986, have their original owners?

Hint: Remember, there are a few historical questions today which I am certain none do not consider any historical data past 1994.

Good Luck!

 

[bluepigpen]

Even got harder!

Jack Snow (RIP) I think went to Poly, could be wrong

Have no idea about the Bills safety

George Stugar played for the Rams when I became a fan and was drafted from Washington

Wow twice as many, well my first thought was Thurman Thomas, then it went to O.J. Simpson and then Andre Reed, really is I'm not sure.

OJ got his 2003 yards when I started my job (and still working it) 1973

Complete guess at owners, Lamar Hunt, Ralph Wilson and Al Davis

Nice Vita

 

[Battlelyon]

Well if the information went up to 1994, you have to think it can't be Reed or Thomas. so Simpson seems the answer.

The three owners blue said seems right. What the safety Kelso?

 

[Vitamike]

I will be providing answers after 5pm PST or the next day and listing the questions by 7am PST. Except for weekends...

 

[shopson67]

With that 1994 limit, the Bills TD leader has to be OJ.

Charles Romes played in every game during his Bills career.

I always liked Mosi Tatupu. One of those hard working guys who never really got the recognition they truly deserve, but always got the job done.

 

[bluepigpen]
