Post by: Dirty Sanchez on October 27, 2009, 09:53:25 PM: http://www.altoonamirror.com/page/content.detail/id/521881.html?nav=5017

Broken down by number of NFL starts (since the NFL-AFL merger) by school. Current as of before this season.

Quote
Most games NFL games started by alums:

Purdue 704
Washington 617
Miami, Fla. 577
Notre Dame 574
Stanford 567
Alabama 495
UCLA 482
USC 463
Oregon 438
Michigan 428
Maryland 402
California 381
BYU 373
Arizona State 358
Washington State 333
Illinois 284
Pittsburgh 271
Southern Mississippi 270
San Jose State 265
Boston College 259
Georgia 254
N.C. State 250
Kansas State 249
Penn State 241
Tennessee 235
Florida State 233

Notice you see no other B12 schools on this list.

Also of note in the article:
Only nebraska(6) and baylor(5) have produced more QB's who have started games in the NFL, but no other school has as many QB starts as K-State, which has 2 of the three QB's (Grogan and Dickey) with 100+ starts (the other is :ku: john hadl :ku:). kordell stewart is 4th with 87.

texas has only produced 2 QB's who have started an NFL game: chrissy simms and vince young. No one before 2004.

oklahoma has NEVER produced a QB who has started a game in the NFL. Even Wichita St produced one before getting the axe.

One of our QB's, Dan Manucci, got his one and only start as a scab in the strike year of 1987, seven years after his previous NFL game.

edit: this list is QB's only.

In no particular order:
Washington
UCLA
Stanford
San Jose St
Purdue
notre dame
Michigan
Miami
Maryland
KSU
Cal
Alabama

No, not USC. They have never had a QB start 100 games. Palmer has a good shot, but at the beginning of this season, he had only 65, so barring injury or sudden suckiness, he should reach 100 in 2011. Rodney Peete is still their best through at least this year.

OT, one of the finest moments in sports interviews was the clash with Jim "Chrissy" Everett and Jim Rome. If you haven't seen it (and I am sure you have) youtube it... it is one of the classics. Even if you aren't a Jim Rome fan, this one will make you :lol:

My boss is a Purdue fan. They call themselves "The Cradle of Quarterbacks."

Isn't he the starter for Tampa Bay now?
