For extra credit...name the teams they were on For the grand prize...name the two former UNO players that started the 1976 season on active NFL rosters... Take THAT you Googlers!!!!

Take THAT you Googlers!!!! without googling this or scrouing a press guide, I'm going to make a couple of guesses, howbouts you bold any that I get right, and the first person to get a player bolded, wins that player, then when they're all finished, the person with the most bolded wins...first guesses off the top of my head: Rich Glover Larry Jacobsen Willie Harper Frosty Anderson Jeff Kinney Quote Link to comment

Brown had retired by 76 Only 19 to go. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 This is a guess on a whim........no research,.....this guy may be a little later than '76, but how about Junior Miller for the Atlanta Falcons. Quote Link to comment

Dundermifflinite Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm also going to guess Jerry Tagge and Johnny Rodgers but I'm not sure they were in the league that long... Quote Link to comment
HuskerTapes Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 For the grand prize...name the two former UNO players that started the 1976 season on active NFL rosters... I would shoot from the hip and say Rod Kush & Marlin Briscoe? Huskers I can think of... John Dutton - Colts Bill Olds Jeff Kinney Tony Davis - Bengals Jerry Tagge - Packers Doug Dumler - Vikings Mick Tingelhoff - Vikings Joe Blahak...play for the Vikings in the famous "Hail Mary" game in 1975 Don Westbrook (?) Patriots Wille Harper - 49ers Tom Alward - Tampa Bay Rik Bonness Ron McDole & Pat Fischer - Washington Johnny Rodgers played for San Diego in 1978...played in the "Holy Roller" game vs Oakland...I don't know if he was on an NFL roster in 1976 A couple others I'm not sure of...Ken Geddes & Jim McFarland Quote Link to comment

Got lots of them in that bunch (by the way...I'm not counting rookies who were just drafted in 1976...including Davis and Bonnes because I already listed them in my first trivia challenge...which was ruined, by the way, by Bleeding Husker Red...but you didn't hear that from me First...Briscoe was one of the UNO guys but Kush was not. Still have one left For the Huskers though, you got - Dutton Olds Kinney (already guessed) Dumler Tingelhoff Blahak Harper (already guessed) McDole Fischer Geddes and McFarland were both on the list also. The other guys were not listed on any active rosters at the start of 1976. So, with your guys (along with Glover from earlier) you all have 12 of the 22 and one of the two from UNO... I'm going to have to check on Tagge though...I seem to remember he was with the Bears after getting canned by the Packers when Scott Hunter took over the QB job...but he might have been cut after the 75 season... Nope..Tagge isn't on the list. Jacobson is though so now you all have 13 of the 22. Couple of the ones left are so simple you'll kick yourselves... Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Why has no one said Tom Ruud - Bills? Others playing at that time that haven't been mentioned. Pat Fischer - Washington Bob Martin - Jets Bob Nelson - Bills John Lee - Chargers Jim Burrow - believe he made the Jets squad that year before going to the CFL at the end of it. Joe Orduna - Was he still in Baltimore? Keith Wortman - Packers As for the UNO player, that would proably be Marlin Briscoe, the first Black QB in the old AFL - he was a wideout for the Pats in '76.
