Easy four. Hosted Dr. Bruce Schulman from Boston University the past two days for the 4th Annual Alta High APUSH Colloquium. Fancy title, I know. This year we covered the Progressive Era, World War I, and the 1920s.

So, busy and not a whole lot of time to run.

Here's a great history/sports trivia question. I'm proud to say that my colleague, Rique Ochoa, and I got it right with no internet assistace - just by harnessing our brain power.

Only four American colleges have produced both a President of the United States and a Super Bowl winning quarterback. Name them and the presidents/quarterbacks.

BYU - Jim McMahon/Steve Young, Romney. Oh yeah, Romney didn't win.

Stanford- Elway

Michigan- Brady

UCLA- Aikman

California- Rodgers

Manning- Tennessee

Occidental- Obama

Do you make students memorize the schools of Presidents?

Stanford and Michigan are two of the four. You didn't mention the presidents though.

I didn't know them. I have since cheated and found the answer. It seems like those two, the presidents and QBSs, are more common knowledge than the other two. Amazing that you knew all four. That would be a dousy of a final jeopardy question.
