Interesting tidbit about Big Ten

[coolhandgopher]

I don't know if anyone else is a fan of the mental floss quizzes, but I'm a big fan. Yesterday's version was name the 16 college basketball programs with the most Final Four appearances. The Big Ten blew away the competition; here's the results (my apologies for ruining the quiz for you):

Big Ten has 5 teams on the list (Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Michigan St, Ohio St)

Next are the ACC, SEC and Big 12 with 2 teams (Duke and UNC; Arkansas and Kentucky, Kansas and Oklahoma St)

Technically the Big East has three teams on the list (Georgetown, Louisville, and Cinncy); however, Cinncy's never made a Final Four since they've moved to the Big East and Louisville achieved much of their legacy before heading to the Big East. My biased opinion puts them at 1.5 teams on the list

UCLA is the sole rep from the Pac 10 and Houston completes the list

coolhand, where do you get the mental floss quizzes? Is it online? If so, could you provide a link? It sounds pretty "cool" (pun terrible, but intended nonetheless). Thanks...

They have a daily lunchtime quiz; it's a wide variety of stuff, sports, politics, history, TV, music, movies, etc. Be forewarned, many hours can be wasted with them, but as you guys step into the winter time, it should be a nice way to keep the mind sharp on those cold days and nights.
