        No.  I would have had to look up the mother's name of every NFL player

            43 I think I remember being one. I would guess numbers in the 90-99 range and the 50-70 range is where the other three would come from

            2. What school has had the most alumni inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

            Notre Dame

            3. Which current Big Ten school is the ONLY one to have never had a PFHOFer as an alumi?

            Rutgers 

            4. The SEC has 3 schools that have never had a PFHOFer as an alumni.  Name these 3 schools.

            Vandy, Mississippi State, USCe (South Carolina) 

            5. Which NFL teams have never had someone whose  career primarily was with that team inducted into the PFHOF ?

            Newer franchises will be my guess Jaguars Texans Panthers

            6. Which NFL team has had the most persons whose career was primarily with that team inducted into the HOF (can include players/owners/coaches/admins)?

            Chicago Bears

            7. Give your best guess:  How many Quarterbacks are currently members of the PFHOF?

            In the 30's? I'll go with 37

            8. What is the most common last name of a person inducted into the PFHOF?

            My first instinct is Smith as it's a common last name but I'll go with Allen as there are a lot of good players with last name Allen

            9. What does this list represent:   Bob Keuchenberg, John Lynch, LC Greenwood, Don Coryell.

            ???

            10. What does this list represent:  Lynn Swann, Carl Eller, Paul Hornung, Jerry Kramer, Tom Mack, Willie Wood.

            ???

            Bonus:   Canton, Ohio is the site of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.   3 natives of Canton are in the HOF.  Name them.

            Dan Dierdorf, Alan Page, ???

            Edit I see now the answer to number 8 is Brown.

                  Numbers  43,  69, 90, 97

                  2. What school has had the most alumni inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

                  Notre Dame  13.  USC 12, Ohio State 10, Michigan 9

                  3. Which current Big Ten school is the ONLY one to have never had a PFHOFer as an alumi?

                  Rutgers   Ironic, since they were one of the teams in the first collegiate football game ever in 1869.   the best players to come out of Rutgers are Ray Rice and Devin McCourty.

                  4. The SEC has 3 schools that have never had a PFHOFer as an alumni.  Name these 3 schools.

                  Mississippi St.   Vanderbilt.   South Carolina        Not sure who the closest have been from these schools.  Maybe Sterling Sharpe  or John Abraham from SC?  Jerry Rice was from Mississippi VALLEY St....not the same.  Hell...from MSU...Dak Prescott may have the best chance in the future....if he really turns out to be something...that he is not now.   And Jay Cutler is probably the best player to come out of Vandy...and he ain't making it.

                  5. Which NFL teams have never had someone whose  career primarily was with that team inducted into the PFHOF ?

                  The new teams...Texans, Jags, Panthers.    Tony Boselli of the Jags has been a finalist before, may still get in.   In the future, the likes of JJ Watt, Luke Keuchley, Cam Newton could get nods for the DATs and Panthers.

                  Note:  New team Ravens have had players make it:  Ray Lewis, Jonathan Ogden.

                  6. Which NFL team has had the most persons whose career was primarily with that team inducted into the HOF (can include players/owners/coaches/admins)?

                  The Chicago Bears  with 28 people.   Next is the Packers with  25. Both have been around since 1920/21.  Browns have 16 people.

                  7. Give your best guess:  How many Quarterbacks are currently members of the PFHOF?

                  There are currently 32.   There will be a few shoe ins to come:  Peyton/Brady/Brees/BR etc.   (Otto only Browns primary.)

                  8. What is the most common last name of a person inducted into the PFHOF?

                  Brown: Paul, Jim, Bob, Tim, Willie, Roosevelt.     

                  There are 4 Taylors and 4 Joneses, and three with the following names:  Davis, Allen, Green, Sanders, Smith, Thomas

                  9. What does this list represent:   Bob Keuchenberg, John Lynch, LC Greenwood, Don Coryell.

                  These are the people who have been HOF finalists the most times and who have still never gotten in: Keuchenberg  8, Lynch 6, Greenwood 6, Corryell 5

                  10. What does this list represent:  Lynn Swann, Carl Eller, Paul Hornung, Jerry Kramer, Tom Mack, Willie Wood.

                  These are the people that had to wait double digit years as finalists...before finally getting in:

                  Swann 14, Eller 13, Hornung 12, Kramer 11, Mack 11, Wood 10

                  Bonus:   Canton, Ohio is the site of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.   3 natives of Canton are in the HOF.  Name them.

                    After my guess of 37 I went to look up the answers that i didn't know i counted 34 qbs but i did count blanda as a qb (not sure if he got in as kicker or qb or both) 

                    Edit: I now see Conzelman was a coach as well so if he made it as a coach and blanda as a kicker that would get me to the 32. Is that the correct way of looking at it?

                      After my guess of 37 I went to look up the answers that i didn't know i counted 34 qbs but i did count blanda as a qb (not sure if he got in as kicker or qb or both) 

                      Edit: I now see Conzelman was a coach as well so if he made it as a coach and blanda as a kicker that would get me to the 32. Is that the correct way of looking at it? 

                      Well...I counted 32...but I included Blanda.  There may have been some early on guys that were listed as like HB/QB that I may have missed. Conzelman may have been one of those.

                          Like I said, I may not have counted a couple of those...or I miscounted.  

                          But there you have the list of HOF QBs.

                          I did another thread on HOF QBs....ones who will get in that have not yet.

                          We figured the following:  Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rivers, BR, Eli.......and a few others that maybe could be headed that way  (Wilson, Newton)
