    Trivia is getting wicked hard ?
    Not my specialty at all, but I haven't got #1 correct in awhile....

    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

    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.

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

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

                    * 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

                        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..

                            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)

                                  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

                                      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.

                                        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.

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

                                                          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.

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