I'm guessing I got about an 80-85...I only came on board around 1999. Some of the relational thing sfrom early on was not on my radar.

[Clipsfan]

I've been around long enough that I think I got 12 or 13 (so many players have been called the next coming of Jordan at practice/summer pickup that it's hard to narrow it to just one) but not quite long enough to know the original web address for DBR.

Good questions!

[bjornolf]

And when do we get the answers!

[Jumbo]

And when do we get the answers!

We'll play it by ear. I'd like to give people time to participate. When the well runs dry for a couple of days, we'll close the contest.

[JasonEvans]

I am pretty sure I know all the answers, which is just plain sad, but what is really sad is that from what I have seen so far, the two questions that everyone have gotten right are what Duke vs. Kentucky means and where I work. I am pathetic.

Oh, and unless I missed it no one has yet gotten the author of the thread that a player's mother felt so strongly about that she had to respond. I am intrigued at that because lots of folks seem to recall the thread and the person who started it really took a tongue lashing for starting it.

I agree that when Jumbo posts the answers, a bunch of us "old timers" should chime in to explain the background and stories behind many of these DBR traditions.

For example, does anyone know who started the first Duke vs. Kentucky thread and why he chose that name for it? Mods, any of you know that answer?

--Jason "I know Jumbo put a lot of work into this and it is a fun trip down memory lane" Evans

[JasonEvans]

It just occurred to me that if I were to answer all of them then I COULD MODERATE JUMBO FOR A DAY!!

Jumbo, is this true or am I DQ'd from this contest?

-Jason "I am confident Throaty could get all of them too, and probably Carlos and a few other folks as well" Evans

[allenmurray]

Jumbo, thank you for doing this!

[throatybeard]

The only one I didn't get is 29, at least according to Jumbo's answers.

[Jumbo]

-Jason "I am confident Throaty could get all of them too, and probably Carlos and a few other folks as well" Evans

Yeah, all the mods are dq'd.

[Jumbo]

Jumbo, thank you for doing this!

No problem! I hope we can do similarly light-hearted things throughout the offseason.

[ugadevil]

I agree that when Jumbo posts the answers, a bunch of us "old timers" should chime in to explain the background and stories behind many of these DBR traditions.

This is a great idea. I'd say I knew half the answers on the quiz and haven't been around long enough to know the other questions. The stories behind the answers would be great to those of us that weren't around when they happened. It would cool to hear the stories, and also put some of us in on a lot of the inside jokes that occur. For instance, was there ever a time when Earljam started threads that weren't completely random?

[billybreen]

So there's one that I knew but didn't answer due to oversight, the question about how Throaty whines about people whining about how much better things were in the past.
