It takes to long to go through 40 different schools and mentally match them up with 40 or so Super Bowl MVPs.

Maybe when I retire 30 years from now I will attempt questions like that one.

That is why they call it trivia, though, I agree, this was a bit much to chew.

The Bullshit of it is that my alma mater, Akron, should have had a Super Bowl MVP.

Dwight Smith of Akron played defensive back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII

Bucs vs. Raiders.

He intercepted TWO passes and returned both for TDs. One for 50 yards, the other for 44 yards in the Bucs 48-21 victory.

Yet, the game's MVP award went to Dexter Jackson of FSU. He too caught two interceptions, but he returned one for like 9 yards and the other for a few more yards to midfield. He didn't score on either, yet he gets the MVP and Dwight Smith doesn't.

I could only ask WTF was up with that?

Derric Brooks had an Int. for a TD as well, but only 1. Smith had two. Jackson none.

I could understand it if they had given the MVP to say Keenan McCardell who had two TD catches. At least they would have chosen an offensive player. Or QB Brad Johnson.

But, no, defense won that game for the Bucs, and Smith with 2 Int. TDs?

Akron should have had a SB MVP.
