Clues for Feb. 10 trivia

In Uncategorized on February 9, 2010 at 10:39 am

I have to be out of town unexpectedly this week, but don’t worry, trivia will go on. Robert Segal has graciously agreed to step in Wednesday night. Robert used to do the Trivia at the Swan a couple of years ago when I had other work obligations.

There will be a couple of changes this week. First, there will NOT be a music round. Instead, there will an entire round of Valentine’s Day trivia, so study up. Second, there will NOT be a Hero or Zero question in the final round. There will, however, be a bonus question worth 5 points.

I’ll be back next week, and so will the music round and Hero or Zero.

Here’s the songs that are topping my playlist this week. As always, a couple of these will be used in the music round on Feb. 3. The link will take you to iTunes to hear a sample of the songs.

Also, this week’s Dan The Man Trivia Beer Special is a 16-oz pint of Two Hearted Ale for $3.50.

Super Bowl Trivia

With Super Bowl Sunday less than a week away, this week’s Dan The Man Trivia clues are all about the Big Game.

Did you know?:

  • Bart Starr of the Green Bay Packers (and University of Alabama alumnus) was the MVP of the first Super Bowl.
  • The first Super Bowl in which the winning points were scored on the final play of the game was Super Bowl XXXVI. Adam Vinatieri kicked a 48-yard field goal to push the New England Patriots past the St. Louis Rams 20-17.
  • A Super Bowl has never gone into overtime.
  • New Orleans is making its first Super Bowl appearance. The 4 remaining franchises that have not played in a Super Bowl are the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars.
  • Green Bay’s Max McGee scored the first points in Super Bowl history.
  • Three teams have won the Super Bowl five times: Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. Pittsburgh is the only team to win six Super Bowls.
  • Roger Staubach of the Dallas Cowboys holds the record for most career fumbles in a Super Bowl.
