Last Friday’s “Jeopardy!” had a collision of two of my favorite categories — college football and geography — with questions about the Big Ten Conference. (There was another college sports-related category just on Feb. 10, “Their Current College Conference.”)
But the contestants didn’t do too well in that one, and flubbed the $200 clue: The Hawkeyes’ home is this 2-word town.
Then another Iowa-related question came in a category about first ladies, and once again nobody knew: His wife, the former Lou Henry, was one of the first women in the U.S. to earn a geology degree.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
(Did I run the Disney princess songs category the same day? Darn tootin’.)
