Bombay
Last night, we quizzoed (verb?) at Drinker's. Reader Johnny had the good idea of posting the questions online to occupy you during this sports chasm. We agree.

Here now are 30 questions (plus 2 bonus) from last night's quizzo. We skipped over the quote round here because it's not quite the same on paper… or interweb- whatever. The answers are at the bottom- don't cheat, yo. See how you would have done.

I didn't totally edit all of these questions beyond what was written for my own understanding, so please excuse any typos or awkward sentences.

  3. This book, which was later turned into a movie directed by John Sayles, details the 1919 Chicago White Sox, or Black Sox, as they were called. 
  4. In Miracle, coach Herb Brooks had the team perform suicides (red line to blue line, red line to red line, etc) after a loss. This action, or drill, later came to be known as what in hockey? 
  5. In We Are Marshall, the Thundering Herd’s team plane crashed returning from playing what team?
