Why don't you try answering the questions instead of being an ass? No one forces you to participate. Plenty of other people have liked these trivia contests even if you don't and have done so for for years.
What? All you want is another fucking thread arguing about the Browns quarterback?

All the answers
Gerald Ford
GO BLUE!
Seriously? You are a college kid and this is the best you can do?
Perhaps I should say: It figures seeing that you go to Michigan
By the way, Ford is the answer to one of the questions....but it seems that you can't get which one.

This set of trivia gives a little history lesson and is about the NFL and the alma maters of the POTUS (You know: President of The United States). Give a try:

Calvin Hill
2. Ben Roethisberger attended Miami, Ohio. Which POTUS attended the same school?
3. Barack Obama is one of only two POTUS to graduate from Harvard Law School (several others attend Harvard as undergrads).
A. Who was the other POTUS to attend Harvard Law? (Elle Woods is not the answer)
B. What Harvard graduate has played the most NFL games. Hint: current player.
I will agree with Matt Birk
4. What 2 NFL Hall of Famers attended the same college as POTUS James Polk?
5. Name at least 1 PFHOFer that attended the same college as POTUS Herbert Hoover (bonus: name all three).
6. The only POTUS to attend Medical School was William Henry Harrison (did not finish). What great PFHOFer attended the same school where Tippecanoe went to med school.
7. A. What POTUS attended a current SEC school? B. A current Big Ten School?
B. Ford ... Michigan
8. What Championship caliber (2 titles, not in HOF) QB attended the same college as the first college that POTUS Barack Obama attended?
9. What HOF QB attended the same school that POTUS Richard Nixon attended Law School?
10. Both TR (Teddy Roosevelt) and FDR (Franklin D. Roosevelt) attended but dropped out of the same law school. What HOF QB attended this same college where TR and FDR went to law school?

12. The Cleveland Browns have used their first round picks over the years (since 1950) to select various players that attended 3 schools that were also the alma maters of of various POTUS.

Michigan... Edwards, Everrit
Stanford... Vardell
Double Bonus: Missed opportunity: Name the Pro Football Hall of Famers that attended the Undergraduate schools that both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan attended. Hint: 3 names
Romney went to BYU and Ryan to Miami OH... Steve Young would be one.
This was too hard for me because I don't know the schools of the older presidents.

OK, I will put you all out of your misery and give the answers here:
1. Taft/Bush I/Bush II/Ford(law)/Clinton(law) all attended Yale. What Yale graduate scored the most TDs in his NFL career?
Calvin Hill is correct. Recall that Hill was a member of that Yale team that played that famous 29-29 tie game in like 1968 or 1969.
The QB on that team was the "famous" BD...Brian Dowling, who has been depicted for years in the Doonesbury cartoons. He was also a St. Ignatius graduate.
The Harvard team included Tommy Lee Jones. And for younger people, Calvin Hill is the father of Grant Hill.
2. Ben Roethisberger attended Miami, Ohio. Which POTUS attended the same school?
Benjamin Harrison was correct here.
3. Barack Obama is one of only two POTUS to graduate from Harvard Law School (several others attend Harvard as undergrads).
A. Who was the other POTUS to attend Harvard Law? (Elle Woods is not the answer)
The other President to graduate Harvard Law was Ohioan Rutherford B. Hayes.
B. What Harvard graduate has played the most NFL games. Hint: current player.
Matt Birk is the correct answer here.

Polk did attend North Carolina, also home of Lawrence Taylor and fellow LB Chris Hanburger

6. The only POTUS to attend Medical School was William Henry Harrison (did not finish). What great PFHOFer attended the same school where Tippecanoe went to med school.
The Med School was Penn...The University of Pennsylvania....which is where Concrete Charlie attended: Chuck Bednarik. Also HOFer Bert Bell.
7. A. What POTUS attended a current SEC school? B. A current Big Ten School?
No POTUS ever attended one of the current SEC schools. Come on. Gerald Ford attended Michigan.
8. What Championship caliber (2 titles, not in HOF) QB attended the same college as the first college that POTUS Barack Obama attended?
The college in question is Occidental, in Calif. Obama started there but transferred to Columbia. Ironically, also attending Occidental was 2 time AFL Champion Quarterback Jack Kemp....who, as I hope you all know, was a candidate for VP on the Dole/Kemp ticket.
9. What HOF QB attended the same school that POTUS Richard Nixon attended Law School?
The school is question is Duke. The QB is Sonny Jurgenson. (HOFers Ace Parker and George McAfee, non QBs also attended Duke)
10. Both TR (Teddy Roosevelt) and FDR (Franklin D. Roosevelt) attended but dropped out of the same law school. What HOF QB attended this same college where TR and FDR went to law school?
The school is Columbia. The HOF QB is Sid Luckman....the difference is that he graduated from Columbia while TR and FDR didn't.
11. What 5 time Pro Bowl/2 time all Pro/SB Champion/All Decade team defensive back attended the same college as Washington/Jefferson/Monroe/Tyler? Hint: a recent player. Only retired in 2010.
The school is William & Mary. The player is Darren Sharper.

Duke (law: Nixon): Bob Matheson and the Mad Dog in a Meat Market, Mike Junkin
Double Bonus: Missed opportunity: Name the Pro Football Hall of Famers that attended the Undergraduate schools that both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan attended. Hint: 3 names
The schools were Brigham Young and Miami, Ohio
