THIS WEEK IN TRIVIA
Can you name the correct Cal football opponent?
When you play a sport for more than 100 years, you build up an impressive list of weird and/or memorable games. While this week’s quiz is largely drawn from games that happened in the last 30 years, there should be enough semi-obscure games that you will either need extensive Cal knowledge or good guessing skills to nail the perfect 15-for-15.
Good luck!

As it turns out, the answer is largely yes. Unsurprisingly, the football and basketball HOFers were highly recognized, but Cal’s incredible collection of Olympian swimmers got high marks as well. Sadly, spare a kind thought for Joy Fawcett, who deserves more renown (among Cal fans and among USWNT fans) for being such a National Team mainstay. 7th all time in caps! Two world cups!

A perfect score was tough but not impossible, and there were quite a few folks who got the 20 or more required to get into the B-or-better range. I’m going to assume that those small handful of folks who got 4 or less got distracted in the middle of the quiz and time ran out.
12/15. I missed some of the ones in the 90s :(
I didn't do it last week - but I just did it - 100%, 6:03 on the timer! (I didn't really know Heather Petri but just narrowed it down from women I didn't know)
