Sports Genius Emeritus

Hound Central 2.0's honorary sports-trivia guru, Drew "The Schwab" Pelto, continued his impressive streak of knowledge by offering nothing but correct answers in both of last week's quizzes.

Though I know that Drew keeps himself very busy, one has to wonder where he finds the time for gain his encyclopedic knowledge. Perhaps on all those bus trips with the Wichita Falls Wildcats.

Let's see how he, as well as anyone else willing to try, fares this week:

Take 'em any way I can

Well, what do you know? I was finally able to get one past sports-trivia guru, Drew "The Schwab" Pelto in last week's quizzes. While getting every other answer correct, I was able to stump him with Edrina Stysktino, or Montreal's Andrei Kostitsyn.

Either way, this guy really knows his stuff.

With any luck, most of you will have some time off this holiday-filled week to take a crack at these:
