The Ohio State University and the Oklahoma Sooners are two storied programs. They have only met twice prior to this coming Saturday in their playing history. Between these two dominant programs they have won 15 National Titles and presented to the world of sports 12 Heisman Trophy Winners. This weekend is a big deal in College sports. Bragging rights among powerhouses carry their weight in gold.
So I have decided to challenge all of you to see just how much you know of the history between these two schools and their football meetings. Do your best to not peek at the bottom for the answers. Do not Google or Bing, whatever your search engine may be, and then take a crack.
At the end we will figure out your score. We all know 100% is genius material. 90% is pretty damn good. 70% is just passing – but nothing to brag about. And below 70% – don’t tell anyone – keep it to yourself.

ANSWERS:
1. (2 answers here) C
2. (2 answers here) D
3. B
4. (2 answers here) A
5. (2 answers here) C
6. B
7. B
8. B
9. C
10. C (allow me to explain further: A – Ulysses S. Grant, president was born in 1822 in Point Pleasant, Ohio. Oklahoma never became a state until 1907. So put 2+2 together there! B – Eddie Rickenbacker – WWI fighter ace was born in 1890 in Columbus, thus the honorary naming of the Air Force Base down in Lockbourne, Ohio (just south of Scioto Downs Race Track & Columbus) called Rickenbacker AFB. Again, Oklahoma wasn’t even entered into the Union until 1907. D – Archie Griffin – we know he went to Eastmoor High School in Columbus, but what does that mean? Where was he born? If I had you thinking Oklahoma for a moment you should step back a few feet and run your head into the wall. Archie is through and through a Buckeye – born and raised in Columbus. And, yes, finally the correct answer – C – Johnny Bench – who is thought of as nothing other than a Cincinnati Red. Period. He was born in Oklahoma City.
So what was your score? The correct number of answers (14 possible) can be divided by 14 (the actual number of answers) or, better yet – just go by the chart below:
14/14 = 100%
13/14 = 92.9%
12/14 = 85.7%
11/14 = 78.6%
10/14 = 71.4%
9/14 = 64.3%
8/14 = 57.1%
7/14 = 50%
6/14 = 42.9%
5/14 = 35.7%
4/14 = 28.6%
3/14 = 21.4%
2/14 = 14.3%
1/14 = 7.1%
Share with us your score – either in the comments. Our Facebook or Twitter page will love to know as well.
Go Buckeyes!
