LSU

Bingo. #1 with 27 Chiefs. Point for bigjosh.

[EPodolak]

Notre Dame

Grambling

[Dartgod]

USC

[Rain Man]

Notre Dame

Grambling


The Golden Domers are #2 with 23 players, but Grambling has only produced 12 players (though they were some good ones). 1 point for EPodolak.

[Dartgod]

Michigan

[Rain Man]

USC

They barely made the list, but produced 15. Point for dartgod.

[Rain Man]

Michigan

Tied for #4 with 19. Point for dartgod.

[Dartgod]

Texas Tech. Mahomes should count as 25 players

[Dartgod]

For some reason, I think Washington is on the list.

[Rain Man]

Texas Tech. Mahomes should count as 25 players

The origin of Patrick Mahomes II has produced 10 Chiefs. Mahomes counts as 25, but Lin Elliott counts as -25. No points awarded.

[Rain Man]

For some reason, I think Washington is on the list.

Washington has 11, highlighted by linebacker Charles Jackson and cornerback Jayice Pearson. No points awarded.

[Dartgod]

Florida

[Rain Man]

Florida

Close, but no cigar. They're at 12, highlighted by Demarcus Robinson. Florida hasn't been a hot spot for stars.

[Dartgod]

Dammit. Give me Florida State and Miami then.

[Rain Man]

Dammit. Give me Florida State and Miami then.

Going for the sunshine state, and it pays off.

Florida State is tied for 17th with 15 Chiefs, and Miami is tied for #4 with 19 Chiefs. Two points for dartgod.

[Dartgod]

Oklahoma must be there, no?

[Rain Man]

Oklahoma must be there, no?

Yep, they're the last of the schools with 19 Chiefs. Point for Dartgod.

[Rain Man]

We should really fire whoever scouts Oklahoma for us. Jimmy Wilkerson is probably the best alum Chief from there, out of 19 guys.

[Dartgod]

So 12 schools left?

I'll go with Penn State

[Rain Man]

So 12 schools left?

I'll go with Penn State

Good job! #3 with 20 Chiefs alums.

[Bugeater]

Ok maybe Dartgod is the Trivia King.

[Dartgod]

Good job! #3 with 20 Chiefs alums.Oh how I wish there were only 19.

How about UCLA?

[Rain Man]

Oh how I wish there were only 19.

How about UCLA?

Carl Peterson phoned it in sometimes. 18 UCLA alums makes the list.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Texas A&M

[Kman34]

Tennessee..

[Why Not?]

Hawaii!

Kidding. But Marcus Kemp though!

[Dartgod]

For my last guess of the night, I'll go with Clemson.

[KurtCobain]

Mizzou

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

Is Iowa on the list... I know of at least 11... I may be wrong.

[Rain Man]

Texas A&M

11 alums. Close, but not there.

[Rain Man]

Mizzou

An easy drive gets Missouri onto the list with 18. Point for KurtCobain.

[Rain Man]

Tennessee..

Nope. Tennessee is at 12. Interestingly, Tennessee State is above them at 14 (though still not on the list).

[Rain Man]

Hawaii!

Kidding. But Marcus Kemp though!

4, led by the incomparable Arnold Morgado.

[Rain Man]

For my last guess of the night, I'll go with Clemson.

The Tigers clawed their way onto the list with 15. Point for Dartgod.

We're not good at acquiring Clemson talent, though.

[Rain Man]

Pretty sure Iowa's on the list...

I'm pretty sure you're right. Iowa has produced 17 Chiefs. Point for IowaHawkeyeChief.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

How about Purdue

[Rain Man]

How about Purdue

Good guess, and it's higher than I thought, but only has 12. One was a Super Bowl MVP, though.

[Rain Man]

Hint #1 - All seven remaining schools are public universities.

[Rain Man]

Hint #2. Two of the remaining schools are in the same state.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Auburn

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Florida

[Rain Man]

Auburn

Bingo. 16 alums hail from Tiger country. Point for Hog's Gone Fishin.

[Rain Man]

Florida

Nope. Dartgod guessed that when he went on his Florida binge.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Buck Buchanon went to Grambling

[Rain Man]

The most senior alums from the remaining 6 schools are:

1. A free agent defensive tackle acquisition.
2. A white linebacker.
3. A running back who is long retired but remains active promoting the Chiefs.
4. A player who was active with the Chiefs this year.
5. A highly drafted defensive lineman.
6. A journeyman player who came from the 49ers.

[Rain Man]

Buck Buchanon went to Grambling

Nope. Good talent pipeline, but not quite enough players to make the list.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Misissippi State

[Rain Man]

Misissippi State

Only 8, which is coincidentally the same as Mississippi and one below the 9 from Southern Mississippi.

[Rain Man]

The most senior alums from the remaining 6 schools are:

1. A free agent defensive tackle acquisition.
2. A white linebacker.
3. A running back who is long retired but remains active promoting the Chiefs.
4. A player who was active with the Chiefs this year.
5. A highly drafted defensive lineman.
6. A journeyman player who came from the 49ers.

Adding to the hints.

1. A popular free agent defensive tackle acquisition who was neither black nor white.
2. A white linebacker who was known for run stopping.
3. A running back who is long retired but remains active promoting the Chiefs and didn't have to move very far to join the Chiefs.
4. A player who was active with the Chiefs this year. Was.
5. A highly drafted defensive lineman with a problem, but it was his linemate who served time.
6. A journeyman player who came from the 49ers

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

Michigan State, pretty sure, and Minnesota a lot in the 60 and 70s

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

My Brain is hurting!

Virginia

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

Arizona and Arizona State. Dan S!

University of Wisconsin

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

University of Oregon

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

The Ohio State

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

Kansas state my last guess

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

We have Oklahoma but not OSU

[Rain Man]

Michigan State, pretty sure, and Minnesota a lot in the 60 and 70s

13 and 9 respectively, though they gave us some very good players.

[Rain Man]

My Brain is hurting!

Virginia

10 players. Not quite there.

[TribalElder]

south carolina?

[Rain Man]

Arizona and Arizona State. Dan S!

Arizona only had 10, but yes, Arizona State has 18 and gave us Mr. Saleaumua, as well as Hall of Fame DT Curley Culp. Point for IowaHawkeyeChief.

[Rain Man]

University of Oregon

Yes, Mr. DAT himself leads Oregon's contingent of 15. Point for Hog's Gone Fishin.

[Rain Man]

The Ohio State

Y'know, that's a good guess, but we only have 12 from there.

[Rain Man]

Kansas state my last guess

Bingo. 17 alums, led by tackling linebacker Gary Spani.

[Rain Man]

We have Oklahoma but not OSU

Only nine from cross-state rival Oklahoma State.

[Rain Man]

University of Wisconsin

Nope. The white linebacker was Gary Spani of Kansas State. Oddly, we have only four Wisconsin alums, and none with more than two years with the Chiefs. In fairness, one is a Hall of Famer, though - Mike Webster.

[KurtCobain]

This was fun.

[Rain Man]

south carolina?

Good thought. But they're only at eight.

[Rain Man]

Hints on your final three.

Adding to the hints.

1. Most senior guy is a running back who is long retired but remains active promoting the Chiefs and didn't have to move very far to join the Chiefs. We once drafted a famous running back from there who didn't sign with the team. You can pretty much ride a bike there from Arrowhead if you take water with you.
2. Most senior guy was a highly drafted defensive lineman with a problem, but it was his linemate who served time. Perhaps our biggest draft lost opportunity came from this school.
3. Most senior player was a journeyman player who came from the 49ers but wasn't a quarterback. You'll never get this school. Public university in California that's named after a city.

[KurtCobain]

Utah

[KurtCobain]

Cmu? Or Western Missouri?

[Rain Man]

Utah

Nope. 6 alums.

[Rain Man]

Cmu? Or Western Missouri?

Nope. Zero and zero there.

Hint: basketball.

2. Most senior guy was a highly drafted defensive lineman with a problem, but it was his linemate who served time. Perhaps our biggest draft lost opportunity came from this school. Fans in this eastern city don't mind rooting for a rapist if he wins.
3. Most senior player was a journeyman player who came from the 49ers but wasn't a quarterback. You'll never get this school. Public university in California that's named after a city. Do you know the way there?

[KurtCobain]

Wait.. Has nobody said KU?

[Rain Man]

Wait.. Has nobody said KU?

Yes!

Apparently Kansas has no football reputation, but they've produced 16 Chiefs. Point for KurtCobain.

[Rain Man]

I actually went back and looked because I thought surely I'd missed a KU guess. But no one had mentioned it.

[KurtCobain]

San Jose st

Or

San Diego St?

[KurtCobain]

Pittsburgh

[Rain Man]

San Jose st

Or

San Diego St?

Oh, nice one. I didn't think anyone would get San Jose State. They've produced 15 Chiefs, but none with a long career.

San Diego State isn't bad with 6.

Only one more! The hints should go a long way there.

[Rain Man]

Pittsburgh

And you close it out successfully. The home of Bill Maas and Todd Blackledge has given us 15 Chiefs.

[KurtCobain]

San Jose is super surprising. Would never have gotten it without the hints.

[Rain Man]

Actually, I screwed up the hint for Pittsburgh. I was thinking Blackledge went there, but he was a Penn State guy and Dan Marino was a Pitt guy. But in a bizarre twist, even though my thinking was wrong, my hint was still correct.

[Rain Man]

San Jose is super surprising. Would never have gotten it without the hints.

Yeah, it's an odd one. If you look at the list of alums (and the seasons they were with the Chiefs), there's not a lot of history there. Siglar is the most senior guy, but Deberg is probably the most well-known.

DeBerg, Steve QB 1988-1991 San Jose State 4
Julien, Jarmar RB 2002 San Jose State 1
Saxon, James RB 1988-1991 San Jose State 4
Thomas, Jewerl RB 1983 San Jose State 1
Thomas, Ken RB 1983 San Jose State 1
Nash, Kenny WR 1987 San Jose State 1
Roche, Brian TE 1998 San Jose State 1
Siglar, Ricky OT 1993-1996,98 San Jose State 5
Manumaleuga, Frank LB 1979-1981 San Jose State 3
Peterson, Bill LB 1975 San Jose State 1
Carter, M.L. DB 1979-1981 San Jose State 3
Cocroft, Sherman DB 1985-1987 San Jose State 3
Owens, Chris DB 2014 San Jose State 1
Taylor, Jay DB 1993-1994 San Jose State 2
West, Lyle DB 2002-2003 San Jose State 2

I remember Jarmar Julien solely for his biceps. He had very impressive biceps.

[KurtCobain]

This was pretty cool RM, thanks for doing this.

My cousin and I would sit around in prison challenging each other with "What college did ____ nfl player go to?". It ate up alot of time.

[Rain Man]

As bonus material, here are the teams that have produced the most seasons of Chiefs. Kansas, San Jose state, Clemson, and Oregon drop on this list because their players didn't last long, while Michigan State, Tennessee, SMU, Grambling, Minnesota, Washington, Ohio State, and Texas A&M move up due to producing players with longer careers.

The top six schools have averaged one player on the Chiefs' roster in every year of the Chiefs' existence.

Players/Years of Service
Louisiana State 27 93
Iowa 17 81
Penn State 20 70
Auburn 16 64
Texas 19 60
Michigan State 13 60
Notre Dame 23 59
Tennessee 12 57
Nebraska 17 56
UCLA 18 49
Miami 19 48
Grambling 12 48
Southern Methodist 13 47
Alabama 17 44
Southern California 15 44
Michigan 19 42
Minnesota 9 41
Oklahoma 19 40
Missouri 18 40
Kansas State 17 40
Washington 11 40
Pittsburgh 15 37
Arizona State 18 36
Florida State 15 36
Ohio State 12 36
Texas A&M 11 36

Did you have a way to look up the answers in the event of a dispute?

Maybe in the offseason I'll have a draft of colleges for Chiefs players. Draft a school and you get all of the players from it, and we'll see who builds the best team.

Not really, except for calling home and a 2011 ESPN almanac that had some players colleges. He was very proud of knowing Jerry Rice and TO's colleges. My goto stumper to get people was Marques Colsten.
