The venue could conceivably be moved again, though... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/3#post-128387 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:40:15 +0000 Leeny 128387@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The next year they went to the Rose Bowl. Now to find out what happened with the Rose Bowl that year... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128384 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:35:46 +0000 gatakitty 128384@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The bowl game in which UGA appeared after the 1942 season. It was not the Orange Bowl. That game marked something significant (to the bowl itself, not necessarily to UGA). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128383 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:32:54 +0000 Leeny 128383@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>What was a different bowl? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128380 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:29:37 +0000 gatakitty 128380@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>One red ribbon coming up for Eileen. Red is a hint, BTW--UGA did NOT play in the Orange Bowl after the 1942 season; it was a different bowl, the likes of which will certainly never happen again. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128377 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:17:26 +0000 Leeny 128377@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Okay, it was Frank Sinkwich in 1942. The face mask was invented for him because he was playing with a broken jaw. He played in the Orange Bowl, and was wearing a Marine uniform when he accepted his trophy. I don't know what was special about the Orange Bowl that year to make it unique, however, unless it had something to do with the fact that World War II was going on at the time.</p> <p>Do I get a red ribbon for having most of the info? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128344 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:10:53 +0000 gatakitty 128344@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>...getting warmer! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128338 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:00:04 +0000 Leeny 128338@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, it can't be Herschel Walker, because they already had face masks on helmets when he was playing at Georgia. He's the only Heisman Trophy winner who I know went to Georgia, so it must be the other one--whoever he is. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128333 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:51:32 +0000 gatakitty 128333@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Uh, yeah. Your identity choices are now narrowed to two, and one of them should already be eliminated in your mind for obvious reasons! :D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128316 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:18:43 +0000 Leeny 128316@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Uh, did he play at UGA? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128314 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:13:29 +0000 gatakitty 128314@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Eileen, your best friend must have run in the same circles as I. If anyone had a lead on the answer, I expected it to be you. </p> <p>That was a HINT, littermates!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128312 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:03:48 +0000 Leeny 128312@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Gatakitty, if my best friend were still alive, she'd have those questions answered in five seconds. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128310 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 10:01:29 +0000 Leeny 128310@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Okay, to set the question in context, here is the literary passage from which it comes:</p> <p>"[Book character] said, 'If you [committed this particular offense against the particular cat in the story], he'd sit and stare at a point between your eyes until you began to feel dizzy. Soon there would be a dull ache under your left shoulder blade, then a stabbing abdominal pain. Your feet would get numb, and you'd find it hard to breathe. Then your blood would start to itch.

I thought it was Ted Nugent: "Cat Scratch Fever."</p> <p>Howzabout this one? For what Heisman Trophy winner was the facemask invented and why? </p> <p>For bonus points, name the college this player attended and the year he won the Heisman. </p> <p>For everlasting admiration, name the bowl his college played in that year and what was so unique about that particular bowl game that it will never be duplicated. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/4429/page/2#post-128061 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 18:43:57 +0000 paulajeanne 128061@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Boy, now I am at a loss.
