Welch Q&A Archive: Answers To Oregon Sports Trivia

July 21st, 2008

By Jay Jones, July 21, 2008

Have you ever wondered what all those giant X’s and O’s are in front of the Casanova Center? Or why was the producer of “The Bourne Ultimatum” wearing a “Pre” t-shirt in footage on the DVD extras? Or how far is it from the floor of McArthur Court to the third balcony

Even if you haven’t, inquiring Oregon fans want to know. So, they’ve asked award-winning Register-Guard columnist Bob Welch. And since 2000, he’s been answering local trivia questions every month. But just because his column is in the City/Region section, don’t let that fool you. Bob might not be the Register-Guard’s sports columnist (or a former member of Fleetwood Mac or a former Cy Young Awarding-winning pitcher), but he’s definitely the go-to guy at the Register-Guards for Oregon sports-related trivia.

As of yesterday, all 99 of Bob’s monthly Q&A columns are now available online. After his column on Tuesday, that number will be 100.

More than just local civic trivia questions, Bob’s answered quite a few questions of interest to Duck fans.

Want to know what that sound is after the Ducks score at Autzen? Or why it took a while to see those yellow and white football helmets? Or was that really a UO football game on TV in “Head of State”?

Ask Bob!

Oh, wait. Somebody already has.

All you have to do is search for the answers.

But, really, aren’t we all just searching for answers?

Now you know where to find some.

    Hahaha…great comments!

    Bob Welch is really good. Actually, I think he’s a slightly misplaced sportswriter who now has a window for a much wider audience view–if he wants it. I can imagine him with a national column (newspaper or magazine) called something like ‘A Fan’s Room to View’ with columns from all sorts of places and destinations. With his story making skills and wit, not to mention his excellent writing at large, he would be an immediate hit.

    Okay Bob…send the donation when you have it. lol :)
