  1. In honor of Halloween and all things scary, here is an easy one. What is the name of the killer in Friday the 13th?
  2. Duvall was cast for Norman but turned it down and Hackman thought the role was career suicide. Here we are 30 years later
  3. Yes i believe with MGM. Dennis Hopper was not first choice for Shooter but i dont recall who was
  4. That is correct. Actually they never offered the role. They asked him to read the script and offer feedback and after reading it said i have to play coach Dale
  5. Another question from Hoosiers. Who did the producer originally "select" to play the role of Coach Norman Dale, but he had to decline due to scheduling conflict? For a bonus point what was the conflict?
  6. In 6 of the last 7 years you need either LBJ KD SC or a combination of them to win. I would say the Pacers are with the rest of the league
  7. Yes sir. That was a great team.
  8. Well done!! What former Hoosier was on that team, i think
  9. Sorry. Wrong area of the state
  10. Not in my neck of the woods but i taught his son my 1st year as a teacher
  11. The guy that played Ollie in Hoosiers was a pretty good high school player on a very good team. What was the name of that no longer existing high school?
  12. How about that. I did not know that Ft Wayne is where Dave met the Colonel.
  13. Wonder where I heard that Dave Thomas was from Ft Wayne, Did he open his first Wendys there. Now I have to do research, I know there is a Ft Wayne connection
  14. Somehow I did not see this post but I believe that Ft Wayne native Dave Thomas has a hand in the bucket maybe the spinning feature. We toured the KFC museum several years ago and heard stories of Colonel Sanders driving in Southern Indiana selling chicken out of the trunk of his car.
  15. I think Ben Hur was the best selling book of the 19th century
  16. Interesting story. Morton was in a highly contested race for reelection and it was going to be close. Morton furloughs 9000 Indiana soldiers to come home during the war just in time for the election. Morton wins a narrow victory due to the soldiers being thankful to be home. Most voted for Morton
  17. Bingo. My Friend. the one and only Oliver P Morton
  18. No but a great guess. Think civil war
  19. I could stretch this to be sports related but... Inside the US Capital building each state is allowed 2 statues. What 2 people did the state of Indiana choose to honor?
  20. I love watching Crime type documentaries and court stuff. He played with the the Angels and was Gary I believe. I cant remember the name of the show that was on. I was just intrigued any time it happens in Indiana.
  21. I put don wilson and realized i was wrong
