Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 I do well watching at home. Get me in front of a camera and I'd no doubt choke. As for the show itself. I enjoy sports trivia, and have a good overall knowledge so it's fun to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 No way. The Schwab knows WAY too much. Whatever obscure fact you can think of... he knows it. I don't buy the show as 100% authentic, and if it is... I feel sorry for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 I think he's much more normal than how he acts on the show. He's a college graduate, and is employed by ESPN. So I don't think he's some idiot savant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Interesting show. I'm helped a lot by the answers being on the screen. alkeiper > The Schwab, if it was strictly baseball Here's one question that stumps The Czech: WHY DOES STUART SCOTT HAVE TO HOST THIS SHOW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fanofcoils Report post Posted April 16, 2005 Schwab while clearly being an expert, didn't know all the players in Michigan's Fab Five on the show a year ago, which is a choke by an expert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel sorry for him. it is 100% legit, he DOES know that much. He is married and has a family, so I don't know if we should feel sorry for him or anything, he does have a life. And plus it is his job to know that much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2005 That guy's fucking ridiculous. They'll ask something like the starting lineup of the 1993 Philadelphia Eagles, and they'll just assume that he's got at least 20 out of 22. He doesn't know golf worth shit though. They were asking how many weeks Tiger Woods was #1 in a tiebreaker for the championship the other day, and he and the other guy were both off by more than two years. I thought that was one of the easier ones, but if the other guy hadn't made a terrible guess, the Schwab would have lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2005 I'm going to make an honest effort, without looking. A couple are easy. Tris Speaker in center, Duffy Lewis in left. Heinie Wagner played in the lineup, he's easy because H. Wagner reminds one of Honus. Everett Scott played on that team, if I remember correctly. I keep thinking Jimmy Collins, but wasn't he gone at that point. Ditto Harry Hooper, who keeps coming to mind. After that, I'm stumped on the lineup. The rotation consisted almost entirely of Smokey Joe Wood. Eddie Cicotte did play briefly on the team as well. Looking at this, I missed Bill Carrigan, Jake Stahl, Steve Yerkes, and Larry Gardner. Everett Scott did not play on the team, nor did Jimmy Collins. Both did play on the Red Sox at some point, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
