Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:25 AM

correct, Radii.

17-13 Dola

vex · 03-06-2003, 10:25 AM

These questions are rather difficult

Radii · 03-06-2003, 10:28 AM

What Major League Baseball franchise has won the most World Series titles?

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:28 AM

New York Yankees

Radii · 03-06-2003, 10:30 AM

Correct, Marmel. 18-13 Dola

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:31 AM

Who holds the NFL single season sack record?

Radii · 03-06-2003, 10:31 AM

Michael Strahan

Blade · 03-06-2003, 10:32 AM

Michael Jordan

Blade · 03-06-2003, 10:32 AM

Wow, I am far behind now!

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:33 AM

Correct, Radii!

19-13 Dolas!

Blade · 03-06-2003, 10:34 AM

Where are all the DH's? Come on, guys, help me out!!!

Radii · 03-06-2003, 10:34 AM

Arrr, the enemy has arrived

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:35 AM

Yeah, if we have a full hour to post a new question, we should start stretching it out when we get one right.

Blade · 03-06-2003, 10:36 AM

Radii · 03-06-2003, 10:37 AM

Score: 19-13 Dolas

Questions: In the recent what-if sports NCAA Basketball Tournament being run by an FOFC member, what basketball conference has the most teams in the Sweet 16 with 5?

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:37 AM

Radii · 03-06-2003, 10:38 AM

Good point Marmel, I am hoping my latest question lends itself to the Dolas getting another point, but we should probably start to delay with a 7 point lead(plus, I have to go to lunch in about 20 minutes)

Radii · 03-06-2003, 10:39 AM

Marmel is correct. 20-13 Dolas

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:39 AM

I am 20 minutes out from lunch too. If you could confirm my answer, I will post one more then we can head to lunch.

Hmm, I just rechecked my rules, and that is not one of them. THe hour is if no one answers the question.

There is no rule about what happens if you don't ask a new question, so I will make an arbitrary ruling that you must ask your new question within 15 minutes.

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:41 AM

OK, fair enough St. Kelly.

Radii · 03-06-2003, 10:43 AM

Ahhh ok, well after lunch I should be here pretty consistantly until 6pm or so, hopefully enough to prevent a comeback. (and note Marmel I confirmed your answer a few posts ago)

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:43 AM

So, should we go for extremely tough questions that might be hard to come up with an answer in an hour in order to stertch it out?

Let's try this one:

At what New York Restaurant did former Giants Quarterback YA Tittle announce his retirement in 1965?

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:44 AM

and I should be around pretty consistantly from 6-8, and then after 9. Or at least, I will try to make a point being around.

stkelly52 · 03-06-2003, 10:46 AM

I will give a bonus point to the player that asks the question after the 15 minute time limit.

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 10:48 AM

At what New York Restaurant did former Giants Quarterback YA Tittle announce his retirement in 1965?

I posted this above, but it was at the end of a post, so I am repeating just is case anybody missed it.

Kodos · 03-06-2003, 11:06 AM

Ask questions that nobody can possibly get right, like what is your Grandpa's full name.

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:09 AM

Kodos, I don't think stkelly will allow that. Good thinking though.

Toots Shor’s restaurant?

Ahh. I didn't see stkelly's veto a couple pages earlier.

SplitPersonality1 · 03-06-2003, 11:35 AM

Denny's

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:37 AM

Heh.

No, splits. Great guess though!

John Galt · 03-06-2003, 11:38 AM

Downtown Athletic Club?

SplitPersonality1 · 03-06-2003, 11:39 AM

Marmel. A team member is always right.

Let's try The Four Seasons

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:41 AM

No, and no.

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:43 AM

time check

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:45 AM

It has been an hour, so here is a new question:

Which Pro Football Hall of Fame Defensive End had a supporting role on "Little House on the Prairie" ?

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:47 AM

Oh, and the answer to the YA Tittle question was:

Mamma Leone's Restaurant.

Poli · 03-06-2003, 11:47 AM

Hey guys, I'm here...but I don't know how much help I can be or how long I'll be here!

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:49 AM

hey ardent. Do whatever you can. As long as we are holding this large lead, I think the strategy is to come up with questions that will take a while to answer (hopefully), therefore stetching out the time frame to our advantage.

If the DH's start catching up, we will have to abandon the stall tactics.

Poli · 03-06-2003, 11:50 AM

Thanks Marmel, I have no idea what the score is, though. I just found out like 10 minutes ago we had this challenge up. How are we doing?

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:51 AM

We were down 13-8, when Radii and I answered 12 straight questions.

the Dolas currently lead 20-13!

Poli · 03-06-2003, 11:53 AM

If I can answer, then it is Merlin Olsen. I may be too late as it is.

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 11:54 AM

Brilliant ardent!

We now lead 21-13.

You need to post a trivia question now.

Poli · 03-06-2003, 12:00 PM

Gotcha. Thinking of one now. Do I have a time limit?

Marmel · 03-06-2003, 12:01 PM

15 minutes from my post, confirming your correct answer.

Poli · 03-06-2003, 12:04 PM

Shoot, I got to get cranking. I'll have to toss in an easy one, because I may not have much time!

Who holds the Super Bowl record for the most rushing touchdowns in one game?

Poli · 03-06-2003, 12:06 PM

Yikes, and with only 5 minutes to spare!
