I will try to keep up on these. It may not be daily and I will also probably be posting some trivia from the NFL as a whole. Good luck and have fun.

Note: These questions will change almost daily. I will unsticky them as soon as I post the answer.


OK so here is the deal. Years ago I found an LA Rams Trivia Game in a Goodwill. I pretty much bought it as a piece of memorabilia. Now with the Rams moving back, I thought it might make for a fun game for some of us old timers. Odd thing is that about 70% of the questions have nothing to do with the Rams.

So here is what I will do. I will post the questions that are Rams related and let you guys answer. I will then post the answers the next day. These are not easy questions as far as I can tell but maybe the memory function of my brain has been compromised.

There is only basically one rule. No search engines or internet sites to look up answers that you will post later. I realize some will still look up the answers. I know I would if I didn't have the cards. But I want to see how many out there actually know the answers. So if you do feel like looking them up on the internet, just don't post the answers. Comment all you want.

Now - keep in mind. I said the internet is off limits. But if you have books, magazines, football cards, etc... feel free to use them. That may seem hypocritical but it's about time some of us got some use out of all that stuff we've bought over the years.

Cheers.

This was a tough one to guess at!! I hope I'm right! I used a process-of-elimination to make my guess!

My dad was Navy so I tend to cheer for them. But I have to admit - I wasn't too upset seeing Army finally win one. Too bad it took Navy lacking two of their best players to see it happen.

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home

Well, I hope my guess is right. One name sounded familiar so I went with it.

OK - So the answer was Glenn Davis. Glenn won the Heisman trophy in 1946 after a stellar college career which included being named All-American in each of his years at West Point. He was the Heisman runner up the two seasons prior to winning the award. While still in the Army, Glenn tore a ligament in his knee while making a movie about his college career. Despite his injury, and the three years away from football, he joined the Rams in 1950 and was named to the Probowl after his rookie year.
