I wanted to ask the players what the capitol of Virginia was. I wasn’t even certain myself. (My guess was Richmond, which is correct — whew). But that party was spoiled by one who shall remain nameless (Paul). I fortunately had more in my arsenal.

So here it is, an all-Virginia five-question pop quiz between myself and DT Fili Moala.

1. Question: What do you know about Virginia?

Fili Moala: It’s a very prestigious school. A lot of big names have come out of there, senators and all types of people like that. They have history.

My answer: Allen Iverson was born in Hampton.

The correct answer: Twelve senators have graduated from Virginia, as well as other historical people. Iverson was also born there.

Point goes to: Me. We talkin’ ‘bout birthplace, man.

2. Question: Which Trojan might have a breakout game?

FM: I’d have to say Clay Matthews. He’s just so explosive. He’s a smart football player. He’s a good utility guy. He plays linebacker, defensive end. He plays all around the field and is a great pass rusher.

My answer: I was going to say kicker David Buehler but I noticed he’s shaved his Mohawk. I’m too sad to answer this one.

Point goes to: Moala. His answer came out of nowhere.
