STATE OF GEORGIA TRIVIA ON HERSCHEL WALKER’S BIRTHDAY

Georgia v Georgia Tech

The Bulldogs have been solid all year. Despite Craig Shemon’s ridiculous takes on the Dawgs, here they are with a chance to make the CFP if they can beat LSU on Saturday.

It's time to fire up our state of Georgia trivia on Herschel Walker's birthday on the Shemon and Sheppard Show. Each day we test Pete with Trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia.  Tune it at 4:45 ish while we play on ESPN Southwest Florida.  Be caller number nine at 239-337-3776 or 239-337-ESPN and win prizes by competing.  Mind you, Pete is full of useless information. But we will reward your efforts, win or loose! However, if you are not fortunate enough to be lucky caller number nine, then you may amaze your friends with our list of questions and answers below!

Regarding Herschel Walker, to this day, he was one of the most dominating and powerful running backs I've ever seen. He won the Heisman and a natty at Georgia on his way to a professional football career that included the NFL and the USFL. Walker has since been involved in politics and recently ran for Senate in the state of Georgia.

There are things other than football to discuss when talking about the state of Georgia, so we will cover it all on Wiki-Pete-ia today. We offer an eclectic mix of state history, politics, entertainment and sports. Time to have fun. Time to play Wiki-Pete-ia on ESPN Southwest Florida with Shemon and Sheppard.
