Quiz Time, Kids!

PrintHere at BHGP, we like two things: the Hawkeyes, and self-distraction*. For the former, we come here, and for the latter, we waste an unholy amount of time on Sporcle, taking quizzes on important things like the most highly-paid members of each NBA team.
So we figured, let's combine the two, and spread the fun on with you readers. So we made our first quiz over there, which is every modern-era Hawkeye consensus All-American from Nile Kinnick on. Freebie, yes, but we figured you'd get that one on your own anyway. If you're up on your Hawkeye history, you'll run the table on this one. Don't worry; we'll make them harder from here on out. Scooter Lampkin will be making an appearance soon; we promise you that.
Oh, if you're wanting to take the quiz later, be forewarned that there's going to be *SPOILERS* in the comments. We empathize, but... c'mon.
*and also clown/horse porn, but that's neither here nor there.

I missed Tippett, Roby, Steinbach, Jones, Duncan, Devries and Smith
It still disturbs me how much I know about past Iowa history tho.

10/17 for another school?
That IS scary.

poor performance by me
missed Jones and DeVries – dammit
An oversight:
I noticed you forgot to put Dennis Green on the list. Please amend immediately.
11 out of 17. Should have been 14, but stupidity impeded my ability to remember Karras, Cook, and Smith. Know your enemy!…kinda.
Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

I missed two.
Station and Smith.
Feel really bad about Station since he was just in the news being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and being honored at the Iowa-Michigan game.
16/17
I only missed Cal Jones. Giving the years and the positions kinda made it too easy IMO.
HOW DARE YOU MISS CAL JONES YOU RAT BASTARD.
(Disclaimer: he is my favorite old-timey Hawkeye whose name doesn’t rhyme with Schmile Schminnick.)
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks

you might not believe me, but I got them all right with 2:54 to spare. Hawkeye football is what I do.

Nice use of the slash
In clown/horse porn. There’s no way you’d want to leave either of those behind.

17 out of 17
And had 1:27 to spare. Last 2 I got were Smith and Jones. Misspelled Tippett (2 t’s) and somehow Roby otherwise it would of been a better score.
17 out of 17 with 2:55 to spare
Blanked out on DeVries for 10 seconds.
16/17
Missed Cal Jones too. Grrr!

For some reason I blanked for a while on Smith and Tippett, so only had a little over a minute left. But I got the rest of them without looking at years and positions! I also missed “from Nile Kinnick on” so I spent precious seconds at first trying different spellings of Aubrey Devine until I realized what the problem was.

missed tippett because i could not spell tippett.Only used 1 t at end.Picky fuckin quiz.And totally blocked out on karras.
What if KOK spelled god????
15 out of 17
As with most, I missed Leroy Smith. I’m frustrated that I couldn’t remember Tippett. I sat there for the final minute saying, “#99, recent HOFer, Patriot,” and couldn’t think of his name. I’m a dumbass.

The Tippet/Tippett thing
I almost made “Tippet” acceptable, but I didn’t want people to spell it right and have that extra T sitting at the beginning of their next guess. I suppose if people are screwing that up and missing it, though, it’s worth editing. Will go change now.

How do you edit those things
I just posted something similar at BSD but cannot figure out how to edit.

Go to the "create" tab.
I empathize; it took me like 5-10 minutes to figure that out.

Sad to report
I blanked on Cook as well, also Cal Jones and Larry Station.
It's not that I'm lazy, Bob, it's just that I don't care
I had all but...
LeRoy with about 2:05 left. I never did figure out LeRoy until the answers showed up.
I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.
