This is basically something like Estragand's quiz, but involving Virginia, Maryland, and the DC Area. Some of these might be easy.
1. The original name of the now-defunct USAir Arena.
2. The previous owner of the Redskins from 1974-1997. Also had the stadium named after him until FedEx took over naming rights.
3. He threw a no-hitter against the Orioles in '01.
4. In 1990, the #1 ranked Virginia Cavaliers lost to this team, who would go on and split the NCAA Football National Championship with Colorado.
5. He hit his 500th homer as an Oriole on September 6, 1996.
6. This baseball analyst threw the first shutout in Camden Yards history in 1992.
7. This former Buffalo Bill attended Virginia Tech.
8. This well-known National Championship caliber team lost to Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl.
9. The full name of the Virginia Cavaliers football stadium.
10. This former Hokie was a member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic Basketball Team.
11. This is the name of the Washington Wizards in their innagural season.
12. The Redskins traded this player for all-time great Sonny Jurgensen.
13. Glenn Davis was traded to the Orioles for these three players.
14. He sported an 18-7 record for the O's in their 1983 championship season.
15. Virginia Tech was last shutout by this team and in what year?
That's all I could come up for right now. I might do a part two on this one. Try to do this without looking up the answers, ya cheaters.
