SHOWBOATS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| The
Showboats territorial schools for 1985 included
Vanderbilt, Memphis State, Middle Tennessee
State, Tennessee, and strangely, UCLA. |
| -- |
| While
territorial assignments had been a little quirky
in prior seasons (such as the Boston Breakers
having rights to select players from the
University of Nebraska), the Showboats gaining
access to UCLA players was unique: the
league had a franchise in Los
Angeles, after all. |
| -- |
| Among
the Showboats 1985 territorial selections were
Steve Bono, who would later make a splash in the
NFL as a back-up for the 49ers, Duval Love, who
would go on to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers,
and kicker Fuad Reveiz, who went on to play for
the Minnesota Vikings. |
| -- |
| Reveiz'
accuracy was considered a question mark by
sports bettors, who when posed with a bet on
Vikings games pondered whether they should
"put a wad on Fuad..." |
