    The first sack ever made in the history of the Big XII was made by Jody Brown of Texas Tech University. I don't know if he still coaches at Wylie, but he did when I was there.

    What team won the Super Bowl and also drafted the Heisman winner in the following draft? So no one gets confused on the question, here is an example of how it might of happened last year, Pittsburgh won the last Super Bowl and drafted Reggie Bush.

    Give Super Bowl team and the player's name that was drafted.

    At one point in August 1971, the Pittsburgh Pirates became the first professional team to field nine players who were either black or Latino. Coincidentally, this was the same year that they won the World Series.

    Who was the first baseball team to win the World Series after being relocated. I'm wanting the team name, where they were originally and where they moved to, and what year they won the world series.
