Yep, though, technically it was still part of Yugoslavia when he was born....which would have been a good answer.

Yugoslavia which I was told actually means "southern slavs" was that group of countries that was tightly run by that old Commie Tito until the USSR finally fell apart and the rush (and in some cases bloodshed) was on to regain their own sovernty.

Remember the old Commie inspired Yugo ?   For about $3,000 you could get a cheap bucket of bolts that was a new car.

Interesting trivia thread.

Here is today's Trivia Question.  A bit late in the day, I know:

There are 10 people in the Pro Football Hall of Fame who are graduates, or at least attended  Ohio State University.  Note/hint:  8 of them are players, 2 of them "other"  either coach or contributor. 

Name as many of these 10 as you can.

Check on Warfield and Pace.    George and Shafrath not in HOF  (I think Shafrath particularly should be...All decade LT in the 60s...but he is not.

Well...they...the HOF that is,   do not include PB, as he did not attend  OSU,  (Miami, OH I believe)  even though he coached there.    But I give you credit for that answer, even if it is not one of the 10.  

But, yes, there is one DB from OSU who is PFHOF.
