PrintToday we finish our series of trivia questions for the chance to win a pair of tickets to the Oklahoma State game on Friday night in Ames. Congratulations to craigbrackins21 for winning yesterday's competition. FYI, the tickets come in PDF format, so you don't have to worry about us assaulting you during a meetup, Jason Berryman style.
A quick refresher of the rules:
1. WRNL writers are not eligible. Granted, none of them know the answers yet but this should just go without saying. We don't need anymore degenerates in that stadium do we?
2. Answers should be provided in the comments. The first complete set of answers that is correct wins.
3. Answer every part of a question completely. A few questions have multiple answers to them.
4. In the event of a tie (i.e., two people post the same answers at the same time) we will have a mindbreaking tiebreaker question courtesy of Kirk Haaland and Encyclonepedia. Questions #3 and #4 are courtesy of Kirk today and will take some quality research to get the right answer. I have provided a hint in each question about which decade these answers could possibly come from.
Questions after the jump.
1. Should Scott Christopherson be playing PG?
a. NO
b. NO
c. FUCK NO
d. Only if McDermott came back
2. Steele Jantz’s seven touchdowns in his first two starts were the most since whom?
3. When Iowa State has played a Top 10 team (98 games) what is the all time lowest team passer rating that the ISU defense has held the opponent to? Name the team, year of the game, and the passer rating. (Hint: 1970s or 1980s)
4. Iowa State has played 159 games versus Top 20 teams in school history; in which game did the opponent throw interceptions on the highest percentage of pass attempts? Name the team, year of the game, and correct percentage. (Hint: 1960s or 1970s)
5. In the last 12 years, what was Iowa State’s highest finish in the Sagarin Rankings? List the ranking, year and final record.
Get to researching and provide your answers in the comments below!

Someone has to start guessing wrong, why not me?
1. I believe the answer is C – Fuck no. Even with McDermott, still a fuck no.
2. I’m just going to assume Seneca Wallace, because he’s Seneca Wallace.
3. No clue. I’m going to guess Seneca Wallace again on this one.
4. Because I was at the game, and it was fun to watch, back in 2005 Drew Tate concussed himself on an interception he threw. Might not be the best percentage, but it’s the highest percentage of QB’s to throw picks and then knock themselves out of the game. 23-3 will always be a great memory of mine.
5. I’m going with end of the 2000 season, rated 28, with a final record of 9-3.
Here
1. C- Fuck No. Did that really happen last night?
2. Gotta be Seneca
3. Where and the fuck does Kirk find this shit? I am trying to research and keep forgetting the damn question.
I’m going to go at OU in ‘81 where they were ranked 5th and went 2-12 with 2 picks and no tds for 20 yards. I don’t know the passer rating so screw off. I’ve already wasted enough time looking this shit up. We were ranked #15 and the game finished in a tie at 7-7. Also, I was -2 and just a twinkle in my parents eye.
4. Missouri was ranked #5 in 1960 and they went 1-2 with one pick throwing a pick on 50% of their passes. We still lost 34-9
5. 2000, ranked 28 with 9-3
2nd place was the 05 team that finished at 7-5 and was #30
Lastly, 08 at #114. Thanks Jean!!!

So, so, so close.
But not close enough. Think of Yelk kicking what would have been the game winner in 2001 vs Alabama.

Mr KnowDan
What question are you referring to?
Am I disqualified since I’ve already answered.
You can still win
If you figure it out. My comment about Yelk was not a hint towards anything, but rather commentary on how close you are to getting it right.

I'll say this
Two of the answers can be found in the media guide/release for the OSU game. The one answer you need is in there.

I'm not sure I am even eligible but if someone wants to steal these answers they can
My little brother in second grade wants to sit in the seats for the first time so sorry about doing it again.
1. C
2. George Amundson
3. oklahoma in 1981, i typed it into a passer rating calculator and i got 0 or -2.6666666666666625 so whichever works for you
4. mizzu 1960 50% of the passes
5. 2000, ranked 28 with 9-3

craigbrackins21 is right
2. George Amundson had 8 touchdowns, 5 passing and three rushing in 1972
Congratulations
You are the winner, with the assist to craigbrackins21. We would have given it to him, but like he assumed, we won’t give tickets away to someone who has already won.
E-mail us at widerightnattylite@gmail.com so we can e-mail you the tickets.

Do you want the tickets? You basically found all the answers anyway and I won the last one.
