Here is a good quiz to find out if someone is really a Syracuse basketball fan

Just in case you are not sure who you are selling your tickets to.

That's not being a fan, that's being obsessive in dire need of another hobby. Holy crap.

I'm a sports fan, not a historian!

 

[SWFLCUSE]

Glad I came back here and saw I wasn't and idiot for not knowing any of these three things.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Nobody would be able to sell tickets ever again.

I was three for three. One I knew (the Davis question); one was an educated guess (the Guley question) and the third (the old picture) was pretty much dumb luck.

 

[HoustonCuse]

2 out of 3. All slightly educated guesses.

 

[SWC75]

2 of 3. I got the Davis on wrong, (picked 3-16). Ernie was Parade AA in basketball, believe it or not. But the team famously stunk then.

Odds that Mexi was telegramming back then about the 1900-01 team not using its bench?

Proudly 0-3! Seriously though I didn't move to Syracuse until 1976 so anything before then I've only read about. And you rarely read much about Syracuse basketball prior to then other than the Lee brothers, Chris Sease, Duval, Hackett and Vic Hanson. I know quite a bit more about SU football prior to 1976 just because its a little (ok a lot) more historic. Post 1976 I doubt I'd miss much in either sport.

And here I'd come to believe that you knew Everything about Syracuse sports!

It's 12:15PM and RPI still sucks!

 

[HOFCeluck]

Old timey supporters of those Cagers from 1901 would later lament George Lamb's poor shot selection and inability to make good decisions on the break.

 

[Delmar]

Hey, I got 2 or 3!

This is like the test in the movie, Diner, that the woman had to pass in order to marry the Colts fan.

 

[tee1222]

2 out of 3, all answers ridiculously lucky edumacated guesses.

 

[jordoo]

Got lucky on 1 :noidea:

 

[capeorange]

3 out of 3... the proctor said it was an open book test http://www.orangehoops.org/default.htm

I probably would have guessed 1 out of 3 only because I always choose the 'all of the above' choice when given.

 

[OrangeSky]

1 of 3. Total guesswork on 2, the Ernie Davis was an educated guess and the one I got right.

Do I get a free ticket now?

 

[moqui]

got them all right but every single one was a pure guess

 

[jncuse]

I am such a great SU fan I actually guessed all 3 questions that were going to be asked. Only guessing answers -- such simpletons.
