Default trivia: name the only four colleges...

...to produce both a US President, and a Superbowl-winning QB.

I only got one.

Answer in white:

<font color="white">SCHOOLS: Michigan, Stanford, US Naval Academy, and Miami-Ohio

Scroll down a little to see the QB's and Prez's...but you might find it more fun to use the school names as hints, to try to determine the rest before looking any further.











QBs: Brady, Elway, Staubach, and Roethlesberger

PREZs: Ford, Hoover, Carter, and B Harrison</font>

And as an added bonus, Ford was an All American center(football) at Michigan.

Nobody should be surprised that Miami, Ohio was an easy one for me.

Now, of those four, how many have produced a president, a Super Bowl winning QB, and the entire crew of a mission to space? hint (you've seen it before).

I got the first three.

I also guessed Notre Dame, probably because Jed Bartlett was from Notre Dame.

Thinking about this a little more:

Miami, Ohio:
President (Benjamin Harrison)
Super Bowl Champ QB (Roethlesberger)
Super Bowl Coach (Weeb Ewbank)
Stanley Cup champion (Dan Boyle TB, Kevyn Adams CAR)
NBA Championship (Ron Harper)
World Series Manager (Smokey Alston)

Not sure if Miami has produced a player on a World Series champion and my feeble attempts to research that fell a little short.
