Michigan dominates UCONN in College Knowle(d)ge

Submitted by JMo on
Michigan represented by Jalen Rose and Glenn Robinson Jr faced off against Andre Drummond and Caron Butler on a simple trivia quiz show during Jimmy Kimmel's pre-NBA kickoff on ABC.
 
 
Here are the questions asked:
 
Incorrectly Answered Questions
1) If a man has an oedipal complex he is subconsciously attracted to whom?
2) Which is the largest artery in the human body?
3) Charleston is the capital of what state?
 
Correctly Answered Questions
4) Which doctor is credited with inventing the game of basketball?
5) What chemical element is represented by the symbol K?
6) Which US president appears on the nickel and $2 bill?
 
Michigan won in a relatively amusing segment, not as amusing as SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy, but that's sketch comedy. The on-going parody of "celebrities" being a little light on trivia skills remains intact. 
 
The winners won a box of ramen noodles wrapped in an honorary degree from Trump University.
 
 
As a consolation prize, the losers came away with a box of ramen noodles wrapped in an honorary degree from Trump University.
 
 
Ha.... slow news day? :)

EDIT: Attempted to find the clip on Youtube. Hasn't posted yet, once it does I'll add it. Until then, here's NBA Mean Tweets from the other night as a placeholder.

We'll try this - I deleted the uber-political subthread, so what is left is fairly innocuous. We'll use this as a reset and try again rather than just dump the whole thing. If it gets out of hand again, well....let's hope it doesn't because it is pretty interesting OP actually.

Thank you OP for clarifying that the 'd' in 'knowledge' is silent, and therefore the word rhymes with 'college.'

But what I dont get is why you didn't clarify that one of the 'l's in 'college' is silent. OR IS IT!!!! I need your help OP!
