    Trivia. It's Time. You're Mine.
    I haven't gotten any points from the past two. One was a stupid lack of reasoning from me. The other was a ridiculously hard 50 pointer. Who else is eagerly awaiting their fix? Don't be hatin'.

          God Damn I hate you. 50 point question, who was the first non-Englishman to win the Premiership Player of the Year Award. Go fukk yourself.

            That's awful, my 50 pointer was: In 1948, UCLA was John Wooden's second choice of coaching positions, after which school?

                  I'm starting to think there's no rhyme or reason to how the system decides on what constitutes a 10pt, 50pt and 125pt question.

                  My 10pter was some bloody nonsense about what school did some no name player get drafted from in 1999. I fluked it out and then for 50pts I got a question about the Falcons and who won 2 consecutive trophies of some sort in the early '90s (maybe MVP, not sure). The only well-known name on the list was the right answer. The only way I could see someone getting that wrong is if they thought it was a trick question.

                      I had that one right when trivia started. I remember bitching on here about it. And someone came in the thread and said they knew it because they were massive UCLA/Wooden fans but that it'd be bloody difficult to know if you weren't. Some of these questions are just silly.

                          I will never take my ten points and run though. Fukk it. Rather zero out for a month than just take ten points. See ya Sunday or Monday trivia. You dirty bitch.

                          French Lick, Indiana ... I could get that one in my sleep.

                                I've noticed they are recycling questions, 'cause I got one last week that was discussed earlier in the month. About a Raider QB.

                                  Seems like the 10 pointers have gotten a lot harder lately. They used to be easy as pie and I would get the 10 pointer 90% of the time. I think I have had 4 or 5 in a row now where I either got it wrong or had to blindly guess at and got lucky.

                                    I went on a long, long stretch like that. Ridiculously hard 10pt questions that I'd either get wrong or just fluke the correct answer.

                                    And then it's like it flip flopped. Ridiculously easy 10pt questions and even the 50pters were relatively easy.

                                    Now I'm at hard 10pter, easy 50. No clue what goes on with this trivia thing

                                          Had a couple easy ones again tonight.

                                          Which one is a RB in the NFL HOF? 4 names listed and only one was even a RB, OJ Simpson
                                          What is the tennis term when a player wins without losing a set? 3 ridiculous answers and straight set

                                          Took my 50 points and ran!

                                            Failed on round 3, like I have done quite often recently. Oh well not much good at the store now anyway.
