Trivia is getting wicked hard ?

forsberg21 · 12-22-10, 12:40 AM

Amen to this. I just got which player wasn't on the 1990 Cincinnati Reds. All 4 guys were bench scrubs that no one's ever heard of.

SBR, ease up on the difficulty of these questions.

ayuntalo · 12-22-10, 12:41 AM

yeah its pretty hard now

Ralphie1412 · 12-22-10, 12:42 AM

the first 2 are easy, a quick 50 points but that 3rd question is always hit or miss.

dwaechte · 12-22-10, 12:43 AM

I'm pretty awful... always try for atleast the 3rd question and haven't gotten it once.

dynamite140 · 12-22-10, 12:44 AM

The 2nd question has gotten real hard.

Cuse0323 · 12-22-10, 12:45 AM

i blame trixtrix, prices going up and trivia near impossible. sbr is scrambling.

jeffksu · 12-22-10, 12:51 AM

but it's a lot of fun...a free chance at points...

Jrod124 · 12-22-10, 12:53 AM

better chance at doubling your 50 in the casino than getting the 3rd question

Sorry, that is incorrect!

Who coached Miami, FL to a 12-0-0 record in the 1991 college football season?

* Paul "Bear" Bryant
* Howard Schnellenberger
* Joe Paterno
* Dennis Erickson

I could narrow it down to Howard or Dennis right off the bat. Quick google search yields "Dennis Erickson"

You have a 50/50 chance at least. If you don't know who Bear Bryant or Joe Paterno are, you should quit gambling

B1GER1C828 · 12-22-10, 12:55 AM

my first was wat team did montana play for when he retired in 1994? easy
2nd was what year did kobe enter the nba? im sure like 90% of people know this but i got it wrong. didnt start following bball until like 2005 so i wasnt sure

goofyre · 12-22-10, 01:10 AM

If you watched ESPN's 30 for 30 on The U you would have known the answer! And its a great show too.

forget the 2nd question.. the 1st question if so freakin difficult, that even trivia experts would not get em. i don't know why sbr has made them so difficult. in the beginning, it was fun cause it was so easy.. like what team did Lebron James sign with this year.. or what team does Mariano Rivera play for?? now it's no longer like this.

i dont know why they did this for. it's so hard now..

yisman · 12-22-10, 01:26 AM

not that hard.

even if you don't follow college football, everyone knows joe paterno and bear bryant, and they couldn't possibly have coached Miami in 1991.

For example, say I gave you:

Which player was a member of the 1995 Yankees?

Babe Ruth
Pete Rose
Jeff Nelson
John Wetteland

you should be able to narrow it down to 50-50 right away, which isn't bad.

(in case you're wondering, it's Wetteland)

Christina33 · 12-22-10, 01:26 AM

Pretty hard! But still kinda fun

Terrapin Station · 12-22-10, 01:27 AM

Never gotten past the 2nd question...

rsnnh12 · 12-22-10, 01:42 AM

finally knew the answer for a 2nd rounder (only known it once or twice before), and I clicked the wrong answer

Question was how many World Series rings does Rickey Henderson have.... 2

sportsfanatic · 12-22-10, 04:02 AM

i would have gotten that wrong

i heard it was because some sbr know-it-alls complained to sbr about it being too easy. don't know if this is true or not.

Domer · 12-22-10, 04:05 AM

a bit embarrassing that you dont know who coached that miami team. that question is easy as hell dude. i do feel you on the hardness, though....especially on the ridiculous questions about world cup goals that i always seem to get. im a soccer/football fan and i still dont know half of that nonsense! stuff like "who scored argentina's first goal in the 1998 world cup?" wtf. i doubt someone living in argentina could get that right.

i missed mine today because i loaded up sbr in the damn plane on my cellphone, and my cellphone couldnt quite handle the trivia thingy. i wish there was like a ASK ME LATER option.

denn333 · 12-22-10, 05:35 AM

At least we have a 25% chance of getting it right.

Jnas · 12-22-10, 06:16 AM

yea it is I even missed the 10 pointer today.

capitalist pig · 12-22-10, 07:17 AM

Yea, I got them all right the 1st two weeks, but now Im lucky to get to the 2nd question.But it is still kinda fun.

later

aceking · 12-22-10, 07:22 AM

lost every trivia this month.

urge2kill · 12-22-10, 07:49 AM

1st question I usually get correct, but I don't even try the 2nd question anymore. Too hard for me.

shock11 · 12-22-10, 08:12 AM

yeah they took all the fun out of the questions

tripleblack1705 · 12-22-10, 08:13 AM

I just stop after 50, have gotten it like 5 times in a row.

tripleblack1705 · 12-22-10, 08:16 AM

Oh, and how could you not know that Miami question??

ngates815 · 12-22-10, 08:16 AM

These Fuckks trick questioned me last week.

In Golf, what is the green area around the golf hole?

Green
Fringe
Rough
XXXXX

Of course I just blast through it thinking it said "what is the area around the green in golf" So last week I put Fringe...and it was wrong, and I thought what the FUCKK. But never questioned the mods, because it didn't bother me.

SO this week, same exact question. I read it carefully, and see that it says around the cup. SO green is the obvious answer. I'm an idiot.

Cabo · 12-22-10, 08:18 AM

I guess I had the super easy question for the day - Who was the opening day starting quarterback for the Indy Colts in 2008?

firedawg · 12-22-10, 08:18 AM

got them all right the first time..... ever since i rarely get passed the 2nd

benjy · 12-22-10, 08:18 AM

Second question got me this time: How many TD's and interceptions did McNabb throw in 2009?

Oh well, hopefully I'll get some points next time.

patswin · 12-22-10, 08:19 AM

first question is easy, the second one seems like a toss up most of the time

Aren't all areas in golf green? The green, fringe, rough, fairways are all green.

Ninersnut · 12-22-10, 08:29 AM

Had that one too. Only reason I knew it was Erickson is because he was with the Niners for a short stint.
