Will's Trivia Challenge - MAY 2008

[WJMorris3]

Let's try to bring this game back.

We're going to run through 15 sports questions. Every question will have at least five valid answers. Your job is to PM me with one valid answer. (Only one answer given per question per person, please.) If you give a valid answer, and nobody has given that valid answer ahead of you, you score one to three points (depending on question level), plus a bonus point for the first valid answer I receive.

The trick, of course, is that you don't know which answers have already been given. Beware, as if you give an answer that was already given, or you give an invalid answer, you score zero points for the question.

Each question will last for 24 hours, with the deadline being 24 hours from the timestamp of each question post. Only answers timestamped before the deadline will be eligible to score points. Most points after 15 questions wins.

By the way, all questions will be asked in this thread. You may ask questions about my questions in this thread, but no guarantees that I will answer them. Also, it is suggested not to post answers in this thread. Researching answers is definitely acceptable. While I will accept answers that appear in this thread, it makes it a lot easier for other people to know which answers have already been guessed.

The first five questions have a base value of one point apiece. The game starts now.

QUESTION #1

Name any school who has participated in what is now called the Capital One Bowl since its inception in 1947.

Deadline is Wednesday at 1:03 AM ET.

[njmeadowlanders]

OK, I'm game...

[AJM]

Florida and Michigan most recently. I know Michigan's played in it a few time before. I'm pretty sure Wisconsin has been in it the past few years as well.

We had a couple of dupes there, marked by the X next to the answer. Dupes get no points. In addition, I made a judgment call regarding AJMfilms' answer. Since he managed to give two answers in the same post, I will accept the first answer only.

In addition, one person was late (1:30 AM), may I remind you that time stops for no man. Those answers that are late do not score either (though it would have been a dupe, regardless.) So the scores look as follows.
