1. I am watching this team play a home game in Memorial Stadium in the capital of this state.

University of Nebraska University of Alabama University of Washington University of Arizona

2. My travels take me to the 19th state admitted to the Union. The school had a former star portrayed on the silver screen by Ronald Reagan. More recently one of this school’s former players (who really was not a ‘star’) was portrayed by Sean Astin. Now whose campus am I visiting? University of Notre Dame North Carolina State UCLA University of Texas

3. I am sitting in ‘The Shoe.’ I watch this school’s band perform their famous march as they play ‘Le Regiment de Sambre at Meuse,’ and as they play one of their school’s fight songs, ‘Fight the Team Across the Field.’ So where exactly is ‘The Shoe?’ Boulder, Colorado Tempe, Arizona Columbus, Ohio Tallahassee, Florida

4. I am in a commonwealth (specifically in Alumni Stadium) to watch a game. This school’s most famous football alum was a gun slinging QB who played professionally in the USFL, CFL, and NFL. Also, they told me the John Kerry graduated from this university’s law school in 1976. Which school am I now visiting? University of Florida Louisville University Boston College University of Virginia

5. This team’s fans are bemoaning the fact (?) that they should have played for the national championship after the 2004 season. They did have a Heisman Trophy winner who was star at the professional level in two sports. At which stadium do I sit, taking in the information? Legion Field Jordan-Hare Stadium Neyland Stadium Wallace Wade Stadium

6. The fans at this destination are still upset that their team was on the wrong ‘end’ of "The Play." The stadium in which I’m sitting hosted Super Bowl XIX. An alum of the school that plays its home games here lead "The Drive" in the 1987 AFC Championship game. I am watching a home game of which school? University of Miami Stanford University Colorado State University University of Hawaii

7. I travel to "Death Valley" (there are actually two Division I-A football programs that play in a location they call "Death Valley"). One term for the team that plays at this "Death Valley" is ‘Bayou Bengals’. ‘Pistol Pete’ played here, oh wait, wrong sport. Where am I? University of Arkansas Clemson University University of Florida Louisiana State University

8. I hear about this school's long-time football coach Spike Dykes (even though the man who became basketball coach here in 2001 probably has more national name recognition). A big moment for this program came in 2004 when they beat Nebraska 70-10 (sorry to bring that up Cornhusker fans). Which school’s campus am I visiting? Baylor University Wake Forest University University of North Carolina Texas Tech University

9. I am visiting a school which is far less well known for football than the others in the state, but one of their alums, Daunte Culpepper, became one of the NFL’s best QB’s.

San Diego State University University of Central Florida Georgia Southern University University of Southern Mississippi

Texas A & M University Oklahoma State University University of Pittsburgh Michigan State University
