-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I saw this on another message board and I can't find the source info. It would be really hard to make up so I have to think it is true. The test consists of 50 timed questions. Each correct answer gets a point. For a sample of the test questions go to http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html http://www.gatorcountry.com/swampgas/index.php?showtopic=26890 WRs Larry Fitzgerald, Pittsburgh - 18 Roy Williams, Texas - 17 Rashaun Woods, Oklahoma State - 21 Reggie Williams, Washington - 17 Lee Evans, Wisconsin - 27 Michael Clayton, LSU - 19 Michael Jenkins, Ohio State - 20 Devery Henderson, LSU - 17 Keary Colbert, Southern Cal - 21 Ernest Wilford, Virginia Tech - 19 Bernard Berrian, Fresno State - 20 QBs Eli Manning, Mississippi - 39 Ben Roethlisberger, Miami (OH) - 25 Philip Rivers, North Carolina State - 30 J.P.

Now that’s fascinating. Well if you are stupid, you better be tough. These guys are tough, no doubt about that. Those questions are pretty elementary & Ben Troupe tops the class with an 82%. That’s a C or a B- tops. Lavalais pulls a solid F+.
Now I buy that. Poor Aaron’s still working on distinguishing jersey colors. But he doesn’t let it get him down. Give us that big interception grin Aaron.
One interview with Aaron Brooks should warrant a HUGE investigation of UVA and their entire athletic program.
I did a little averaging and...... the TE's in this group post the highest average so far. The QB's run 2nd with the RB's and WR's tied for last. I haven't done them all, you know work and stuff.
The only player ever to make a perfect 50 was a former punter for the Bengals who had gone to Harvard. I can't remember his name. Something like Pat McNally.
I'm a little surprised at the intelligence of.... the TE's. I don't know if it's an aberation for this year or if the TE's are as a position need to be more inteligent. Did anyone do the sample? They are not that hard especially if you're going to college and the brain is well oiled.
Remember, it's not just a question of getting the answers correct, but getting as many correct in a pretty short amount of time as possible.
