NU
Football Trivia Question of the Week
--The Archive--
The NU Football Trivia Question of the Week lasted from April 2000
until the end of the 2005 season (from April until June 2000 it was
posted on a SportsOnly message board; from July 2000 until November
2005 it was posted here). Readers e-mailed their responses to the
week's question, and the correct respondents were announced the
following week.
The NU football trivia question
of the
week could be about anything, as long as there was some connection (no
matter
how fragile or implausible that connection might be) to Northwestern
University
football. Up until February 2001, the first correct e-mailed answer
won; from 2001 through 2005 all correct answers mailed in during the week of the question
won.
Each time a reader "won" by correctly answering the week's question,
he or she earned one point. At the end of the season there was a
prize drawing (usually for a sweatshirt), and readers received the same
number of entries in the drawing as they had wins during the
season.
What follows is an archive of all the questions,
with links to each season, below.
