Oakland Raiders Trivia: Round II

by saint on May 21, 2009 3:57 PM PDT Comment 11 comments

Now that we all know that Al Davis first coached at a small school named Adelphi before moving onto Army and USC and that the original 8 teams in the AFL were Denver, Kansas City, Dallas, San Diego, Minnesota *, Boston, New York, Buffalo and Houston.

We also know that Kenny Stabler is the All-Time Raider Leader in Passing, not rating, and that Marcus Allen is the Leading Rusher.

And thanks to the last round we know that for three weeks the Raiders were called the Senors, played thier first game at Kezar and were the first team to play a game at Candelstick (Take That Whiner Fans).

Now it is time for 6 more question that will help to build our Raider Vocabulary:

What position did John Madden have with the Raiders before he was promoted to Head Coach?

How many teams in the AFC own a head to head advantage over the Raiders in All-Time games played?

What College team did Tom Cable Coach in his previous Head Coaching stint?

Name the teams that Jeff Garcia has played for. Bonus question: Which NFL team gave him his first try-out?

How many Super Bowls have the Raiders played in?

Name as many Raider Hall of Famers as you can.

I am really enjoying this process and the comments have been great, so in addition to posting the answers, please give as much info as you can, time permitting, about each question. I am building a data base for this info so that we will have a quick reference Raider Info link.

Cheers,

Saint

Wow you are bumping them up I think we should all feel comfortable droppoing are ego's on this one

Here it goes with out checking although I really really want to check a few of these but its all about learning and being honest so here we go.

1. Defensive Line Coach
2. The Texans, The Ravens,
3. Someone in the Big 10 I thought, but maybe it was………?? drawing a blank
4. Niners, Philly, Det, Cleveland, Tampa, and I will guess New Orleans on the bonus
5. 7
6. WOW alright here we go this is going to really hurt my Raider ego. But I am anxious to learn it. John Madden, Art Shell, Gene Upshaw, Otto, Hendricks, Willie Brown, Marcus Allen, Howie Long, Ray Guy, Bilitnikof (yikes I don’t even know how to spell his name right), those are all I can think of right now and its pathetic. I should get bonus points because people are going to check out of fear of embarassment.

Here is the Link For The Answer to Head to Head:

Pro Football Reference

The Teams in the AFC with a winning head to head record against the Raiders are:

Ravens – 1-4
Texans – 1-3
Jags – 1-3
Kansas City 44-51-2

Except for our old Division Rival, KC, they are all newbies.

But when they start scheming us the way these guys did, and we weren't particularly ready for it, anything can happen."

Love these post.

I don’t know shit but, I’m pretty sure the answer to #5 is 5 Superbowls with 3 rings. But that’s only because I looked it up the other day to make a point. Love it. Keep it up.

O.K. lets see how much I know…
1) I believe he was linebackers coach
2)The Texans and the Ravens
3)idaho
4)49ers,Eagles, Lions, Bucs, and the Bonus was the RAIDERS
5) 5 appearances 3 wins 2 losses
6)Madden, Long, Hendricks, Belitnikoff,Allen,Otto,Willie Brown,Upshaw, Shell, Blanda, Casper, Haynes, Lofton, and Big Al Davis himself. There are a few others in the Hall that spent time in Silkver and Black , like Lott and Dickerson. I’m probably missing some but then again so is the Hall…. Stabler, Plunkett, Flores, Guy , Tatum, and my personal favorites Alzado and the Tooz just to name a few.

1. Linebackers coach
2. Texans, jags, KC
3. Idaho
4. TB, 49ers, Eagles, Lions, Browns and CFL=Calgary (Clueless as to first NFL team)
5. 3 wins 1 loss 1 pounding
6. Otto, Shell, Allen, Blanda, Hendricks, Davis, Upshaw, Long, Casper, Haynes, Madden, Lott, Bilitnikoff, Dickerson ( i think only with Raiders one year though) I think I got everyone, but there are some that are due to be there

Raiders Trivia Part II

Ok, Saint you didn’t do us any favors on this one. You could at least throw a bone now and then.

1. A defensive coach.
2. I am guessing less than 6, maybe four or five. Some of the newer franchises hold a lead like the Texans because they have only played the Raiders a few times.
3. no idea
4. Played in the CFL? the 49ers, TB, and it was the Raiders that gave him his first try out in the NFL.
5. The Raiders played in five “chanpionships” won 3 and lost two. I can’t remember when they started calling it the “Superbowl” but I believe the first one they played against GB was not a “Superbowl”
6. Al Davis, Art Shell, Marcus Allen, Freddy B., Gene Upshaw, Willie Brown, Howie Long, James Lofton, Mike Haynes and I am running out of time. There are about 10 or twelve “career Raiders” and about 15 or 16 if you count the ones that played for short times with the Raiders or ended their career with the Raiders. I don’t really know how that works? Doesn’t the player choose what team he is officially listed with in the HOF?

I live, breath and breed Silver and Black!

Some answers and some guesses

1. Linebackers coach
2. Jaguars, Texans, Titans, Chiefs
3. The Idaho Vandals
4. Calgary Stampeders, SF 49ers, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers; Terrell Owens accused him of playing for the other team, but then he married that hot Playboy centerfold playmate and proved TO wrong. I don’t know who gave him his first tryout, but I would guess the RAiders.
5. 5
6. Blanda, Marcus Allen, Al Davis, Art Shell, Gene Upshaw, Rod Woodson, James Lofton, Ronnie Lott, Howie Long, Fred Bilitnikof, and some others.

The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
