  • Polar Bear 73
    I missed two: 1920 and 1984.
  • Iliketurtles
    I missed all the teams from 1920-1924 for the NFL never even heard of those names lol.
  • Tiernan
    You never heard of the Canton Bulldogs? They started the NFL turtle.

    I didn;t get the BGSU Hockey or Cols Crew but who cares its hockey and soccer.
  • Iliketurtles
    I knew there used to be a team in Canton just never knew of the name lol.

    Without looking:

    Indians 1948?

    Cleveland won some NFL championships with Jim Brown. Not sure on the years.

    Reds in the '70s and in 1990.

    I don't believe Boomer ever won anything with the Bengals, although I know he lost a Super Bowl to the 49ers.

    Pretty much I know nothing about Ohio sports lol.

    On second thought, I guess we weren't just talking about professional sports. Nevermind. I would have done much better. Having grown up near Bowling Green, the Falcons 1984 hockey national championship is the stuff of legend around here.

    I did it to see if the Crew were on there...that's the only one I cared about. I'll support Sporcle even more than I have before because it's in there.

    Touche!
  • NOL fan
    Touche indeed. I totally forgot about that title.

    The quiz has been updated. Thanks for the correction.
  • OSH
    If you wanted to update a bit more...the Cleveland City Stars won USL-2 (which is now USL Pro) in 2008 too.

    What's with that fucking ad for whooping cough that's blocking my view of the quiz. I try and tap the X to close it and it just opens the ad. Driving me insane.

    Cool site though.
  • Pick6
    The 1920 Akrons Pros outscored opponents 154-7
  • GOONx19
    Browns won AAFC championships in 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949.

    Nah, for simplicity I'm going to leave it as is: Highest level of pro and college for the 5 biggest team sports.

    I don't want to open the can of worms of including anything below that (this is the reason I left out the Browns 4 AAFC titles from the 1940's)

    I had nailed all of them except 1984, so just started typing every D1 college in Ohio until I hit on Bowling Green (it was the last one I had left). Had 42 seconds left.
