Wrong again. Was there EVER a 17th round? Next wrong guess will have me revealing the answer.

 

[Womenandcookies]

222nd?

 

[gsu_paintballer]

Wrong again. 4th. I'll post up a new question when I get back. Taking my girlfriend out for dinner.

Kids (shaking my head)

Bart Starr was drafted in the 17th round.

Think Bill Curry was taken in like the 20th round by GB. (Remember it because in a local radio interview, he talks about being drafted last in the 20th round by GB, but thinking he could make the team)

 

[BuzzMD]

Was correct. However, drafting was kinda funny back then. Apparently, you did not have to draft every round. For example, only 4 teams drafted in the 7th round, but 8 teams drafted in the 8th round. Any statesmen around that can explain that kind of draft?

Link to 1964 draft showing Curry drafted in 20th round by GB.

I didn't realize we had a draftee in 1937- Round 10.

Well here's a new question. Correct answer here posts another one.

When (and by who) was Georgia Tech last shut out at home?

If you've got a Facebook acount, you can add the Georgia Tech Football Fans app, which has a pretty good trivia section assocated with it.

But, I hardly go there anymore as I got burnt out on FB fairly quickly.

I have that app, but most of the questions are outdated information and are rarely moderated.
