The correct answer to #2 is O’Donnell, birthplace of Dan Blocker.

62

Okay, I’ll go ahead and make myself look stupid. They were my first thought, but I wasn’t sure they still existed. I’m not much of a sports fan.

63

They still exist, but they were pretty much invisible this season. :wink:

I went with the Astros, but only because I didn’t have any idea what city the Texas Rangers are from.

And I thought “Houston Texans” is either the stupidest name for a sports franchise, or the most brilliant. Maybe all teams should get themselves named that way.

The San Francisco Californians
The Sacramento Californians
The San Diego Californians
The Los Angeles Californians
The Los Angeles Californians of Anaheim

66

The New York Yankees!

Maybe that’s pushing it too far though.

67

Sometimes I don’t think things through very well, do I?
:wink: I was attempting to prevent harder to cut and paste answers.

The New England Connecticuters, Mainers, Massachusettsans, New Hampshirites, Rhode Islanders, and Vermonters seems a little wordy.

70

Wouldn’t “New England Yankees” be enough?

Looks like I’m no. 49!

72

There’s no state named Yank.

73

Occasionally, when lonely, I’m in a state of yank. Does that count?

Yeah, we were all kind of baffled at the “unveiling ceremony,” or whatever the heck it was. “The new team is named…(drum roll)…the Houston Texans!” Okay, that’s…creative.

77

They should have stuck with Oilers. They already had that annoying song ready for them.

78

Houston, I believe we have 50 responses. PM’s to Rebo and Twickster are being sent.

79

No, the Oilers’ name deserved to be buried. Forever.
