New Scaratings

Whatever. The Oklahoma was a loss just like the Arizona and Utah. For that matter neither of those hulls were destroyed, they were just never raised.

Downes and Cassin.

Seeing as how my Mizzou Tigers just lost another huge game....

In the 1990 5th down game, who crossed the goal line on 5th down with no time left to give the Colorado Buffaloes a 33-31 "win"?

Sal Aunese?

Um, dead men usually don't play football.

It was a QB sneak, just not by a dead guy.

Also wasn't starter Darian Hagan. I had to look it up, couldn't remember who replaced him.

This is a toughie...

I know that the destroyers Helm and Shaw went down this day back in 1941, but I have absolutely no idea if these are the two ships that ICEMAN is looking for. That's my best guess.

p.s. I believe we re-floated all of our sunken battleships, with the one exception of the U.S.S. Arizona, which I visited in its resting place some 20 years ago.

p.p.s. When the Japanese surrendered to end the war, if I were in charge, I wouldn't have them sign the surrender on the Battleship Missouri, no matter how powerful it might have been, I would have had the Japanese sign the surrender on one of the battleships that they sunk at Pearl Harbor, that we re-floated.

To my knowledge neither Helm nor Shaw were playing for the Buffaloes at that time.

My favorite part of our time together in Louisville was when you would shout out an answer to a trivia question from a game about 4 or 5 hours earlier. Good times...

Personally, I would have made them surrender aboard the Arizona. And no, I wouldn't have bothered to raise it first.

Sadly, the good times are gone, when it comes to Buzztime Trivia in Louisville. The place was T.G.I. Friday's for many a year. However, the place is gone, and the wonderful trivia players, who congregated there pretty much every night, have dispersed, died, moved, or have found a real life.

As I remember those days, it brings tears to my eyes, not so much because T.G.I. Friday's is no longer there, but because most all of those wonderful people, who used to get together there are gone.

I thought one of the major mistakes the Japanese made in their attact on Pearl Harbor was that they didn't bomb our dry-docks, which allowed us to repair and refloat many of the ships that they had sunk in the shallow harbor. Someone tell me that I am wrong about this... I love being wrong, because you never learn anything when you are right.

It's way too late, but I think ANON is correct. As I understand it, two Japanese mini-subs were taken out, before the air attack began. One was off the coast that sunk by itself, and a crew member was captured. The other one was a mini-sub that got depth charged to oblivion as it attempted to follow one of our ships into Pearl Harbor.

I'm old and and getting a wee bit confused. As I scroll up, it looks like BO has come up with the answer that ICEMAN was looking for, but there is so much Gobbledygook that I read that I can't find the next "Trivia Chain" question.

Someone, please help a senior citizen, and tell me what the current "Trivia Chain" question is.

Here you go Cloudy.

The current question has gone way too long.

Charles Johnson, the Buffaloes backup quarterback, scored the winning touchdown.

Yes, I did look up the answer. Therefore, if this is the answer BO was looking for, the first person with a follow-up question can ask away. (I do have a question in mind and I will post it at 10pm ET if nobody has posted by then.)

Sorry, but that is not the answer I am looking for. I said crossed the goal line, not scored the winning TD.

But you do score points for making the effort.

Since I never saw the game, I can't get into technicalities.

If Charles Johnson wasn't the person who crossed the goal line on 5th down, then kudos to whomever can post the answer to BO's question. I will say it was Charles Johnson.

Again, Charles Johnson did not cross the goal line on 5th down. I can only give so many hints.....

I know LEWSER can give the answer I am looking for.

Just saw a Youtube video showing the drive by Colorado. I don't see who else it could have been.

Watch the moment of truth a little closer and then think outside the box.

My next guess is that nobody crossed the goal line, that Johnson got tackled on 5th down just short of the line but got credited with a touchdown anyway. (I can see some great officiating in that game if that was the case.)

There we go! Not only did CU get a 5th down to score, they didn't even get across the goal line. Think I've still got some anger issues over this?

Your question sir.

I should follow this up with an Armando Gallaraga question. (In hindsight, perhaps a better analogy would be a question about the '85 Series...)

As stated, I have a question in mind that I'll post in a couple of hours. If someone else has a good question, they can jump in, otherwise I'll post around 10 - 11pm ET.

This question is a two-parter.

Of the astronauts who have set foot on the Moon, which one has spent the most total time in space, and which one has spent the least time in space? ("Time in space" is not limited to lunar missions.)

Since there have been no guesses on the above question, I am throwing it out. I'll give the answer in a few hours Meanwhile, I have the replacement question...

Complete this numeric sequence: 21, 36, 55, 60. 67...

The time limit on the above is 24 hours, and the closest answer gets to ask the next question at this time tomorrow even if there are no correct answers.
