Yeah, the Agnew question was the only one I knew off the top of my head.
No matter how hard I try now, I'm going to tell that to my wife when I get home.
Her opinion of me will not soar.
Do you listen to Dinner Party Download podcast? They had Dick Cavett on a few weeks back and he dropped this exact bit of knowledge.
could be bribed for $50 or $100. Truly an appropriate (if hated) moral partner to Tricky Dick.
of the two in #8 is Shane Morris. Other than that I have no clue.

Let's try without any googling:
1.) Which of the following players averaged the most yards per punt in his Michigan career?

Although I'm tempted to take Tate because his punt(s) had no returners back and got to roll

Spiro Agnew

Henson?
was not left-handed. Steve Smith? Demetrius Brown?
#6 is B. Softball has won it every year from '08-present.
Was Steven Threet a lefty? That whole era is a blur of undersized people getting trampled to me.
After Leach I think Demetrius Brown and Steve Smith were the only lefties other than Clayton and Shane. Ford replaced Nelson Rockefeller. Vaught was a rebounding machine. Elvis started a few games that year so I'll go with him. Too tired to guess further.
1.) Tate
2.) Woody Hayes
3.) Loy Vaught

5.) Never
6.) Every year they've won it
7.) uh...Elvis Grbac?

EDIT: How could I forget Demetrius Brown. Dang it.
Michael Taylor started the last Rose Bowl victory for Bo
Spiro Agnew was Veep before President Ford
Ricky Powers coached Jarod?
Don't know the rest.
Pretty sure Henson was right-handed.
I can still remember that across-the-body throw to Terrell while Danielson was frantically masturbating over Henson's arm (with good reason).
I still believe if Henson had come back, he'd have been an at least adequate NFL player with more millions than he has currently. Greatest arm I've ever personally seen.
Slow day you say? Well here's something for you crazy Pokemon fans. I guess even the cops are playing it. I could see this type of thing becoming a regular headline in the news.

Here's a fun fact regarding #2 - you can rearrange the letters in Spiro Agnew to spell "Grow A Penis", which I firest realized when reading Dave Barry's take on American history over 20 years ago, and that for me made Agnew the most amusing VP ever for name value.
3) Loy Vaught
4) Ricky Powers
5) 2009
6) 2011
7) Grbac
8) Morris, Brown (I think Brown was a lefty)
9) Three
10) Part of me wants to say Darius Morris, but I think all these guys have at least one.
Why do people think he was left handed? He was in no way, ever, never left handed. Clayton Richard was left handed. Shane Morris left handed. Rick Leach left handed. But definitely not Drew Henson. He could throw a 98 MPH fastball, however.
1. Tate Forcier....I seem to remember him having a punt that rolled on forever.
2. Agnew
3. Glen Rice ..guessing
4. Ricky Powers
5. IDK
6. IDK
7. Grbac
8 Henson? and Morris
9. 2?
10. C - Harris?
Without looking at anyone else's answers, and without google, here are my guesses:
1) Tate Forcier
2) Spiro Agnew
3) Loy Vaught
4) Jon Vaughn
5) 2013
6) 2011
7) Demetrius Brown
8) Shane Morris & Michael Taylor
9) 3
10) Derrick Walton
Brown was the lefty, not Taylor. So Demetrius is the answer in both 7 & 8.

...I'm going to say Notre Dame mostly because I hope it's Notre Dame.

so I'm going to guess he was born during the 1991 season.
Ohio State? Hello, Denard?
Women's basketball last made the NCAAs in 2013. We beat Villanova in the first round, then lost to Stanford in Palo Alto.

All tied with one
1 - D
2 - Spiro Agnew
3 - C
4 - No idea without googling
5 - D
6 - D
7 - Harbaugh
8 - Shane Morris, somebody I can't remember
9 - Three
10 - D
I thought maybe Shane had yet to start a game, but he did start against Minnesota in 2014. As for the second person, I know Rick Leach was left-handed, and I'm pretty sure John Wangler was. But maybe Michael Taylor or Demetrius Brown were.
Also Shane started the bowl game against Kansas State.
My bad -- Powers is right for #4

Romero won B1G POTY 7 straight times because she's THAT DAMNED GOOD!
Last Time. Teams were Michigan, Tenn, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas and Ohio St. Only ones to each have 20 bowl wins, 20 NCAA basketball tourney appearances, and 20 NCAA baseball tourney appearances

Bo's last Rose Bowl winning team was the 1988 squad. Michael Taylor won the starting QB job and started until he was injured late in the season. Demetrius Brown stepped in as the backup in wins over Ohio State and the 22-14 Rose Bowl win over USC. Without Googling, I'm not sure when Michael Taylor was injured, but Brown threw the game winning pass to Kolesar at OSU and played the whole Rose Bowl game.
