More trivia bullshit!

[mikejamm]

2nd 50pt Question was: "How many players on a football field during the 1800's? I answered 25. The answer that was listed as the correct answer was "25"! There's no fuk'in way you could have an "odd" number of players on the field!

Plus afterward, when I went and researched football from the 1800's, the original number of players from the 1800's, it was "reduced" from 15 to 11. 15 wasn't even one of the damn multiple choice answers! Fuk'in joke, the trivia on here!

My question was "Which player was not on the 1990 Cincinnati Reds"

Chris Sabo
Norm Charlton
Jose Rijo
John Franco

An MLB question

Id be surprised if there was one MLB question in their entire database that I didn't know

[sweethook]

i just took the 50 points

[mikejamm]

Bump! I'm owed 50 pts for this bullshit!

[shari91]

mike, can you go to your trivia history and post the exact wording of the question you received? I just want to see if it's the same one someone else asked about before, before I forward it on to Admin.

[aceking]

50 points free !

My trivia timed out after 2 seconds on the second question. It said my explorer did not send an answer in time when I answered it in 2 seconds. I thought it was funny. Figured I was probably wrong.

[mikejamm]

Here you go Shari, exact wording and by the way I did answer the 2nd trivia question correctly.

<fieldset> <legend>How many players were allowed on the field when college football began in the 1800's?</legend>

• 11
• 4
• 25
• 50

</fieldset>

Thanks Mike. I had assumed that was the same question I was thinking of but wanted to make sure.

The answer is actually 25 per side but I'll forward it on to Admin to see if they think it's worded too vaguely.

This is from the Rutgers website: http://www.touchdownclub.rutgers.edu/history.htm

"Rutgers University and its neighbor, Princeton, played the first game of intercollegiate football on Nov. 6, 1869, on a plot of ground where the present-day Rutgers gymnasium now stands in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won that first game, 6-4.

The game, which bore little resemblance to its modern-day counterpart, was played with two teams of 25 men each under rugby-like rules, but like modern football, it was “replete with surprise, strategy, prodigies of determination, and physical prowess,” to use the words of one of the Rutgers players."

Mike seriously you're complaining way too much...

[MysteryMung]

I made a dumb noob mistake - Which quarterback signed a 5 year deal with the Chicago Bears in 2006.

I chose GOD DAMN REX GROSSMAN - who was probably still at ******* florida then. I just went with the one that looked right and skipped right over Griese. Call me a complainer but come on for 10 points, ask me what color the Celtics jerseys are or something damn.

[JMobile]

i just took the 50 points

Me too!
First question was; What team did Josh Beckett pitch in the World Series?
Marlins!

2nd question; Who knows, took a wild guess and got it right! LOL

If that's the case then Shari, then the correct answer should have been 50! Or like you said the question should have been worded to reflect total players or how many players per side.

[mikejamm]

Mike seriously you're complaining way too much...

Fuk OFF! Who the fuk is that ugly bitch in your avatar anyway? Is that what you're into man? Some lezbo dyke look'in bitch? Lol at that you nosy prick, I'm trying to prove a point here!

[SBR Lou]

Mike,

We've now disabled that question with our new question mgt tools. I've reset your trivia and credited you 50pts.

[30K Millionaire]

you said you answered 25 players and the correct number was 25 so what you complaining about?

[shari91]

you said you answered 25 players and the correct number was 25 so what you complaining about?

Yeah I just re-read that again. Mike you said you answered 25 in your first post. Did it not accept your answer?

[mikejamm]

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. I thought I got it wrong, so I went and looked it up. The only information I could find, until Shari posted what she found was 15 players reduced to 11. So when none of the multiple choice answers were 15, that is when I started the thread. Sbr John took care of it and the matter is resolved. Thanks.

whats with these questions about football in the 1800's.

In what year was the most unpopular football game ever held: the "block game"?
1930
1809
1990
1881

um, how are we supposed to know something that happened before football was even football?

oh well. just saying, 1800's questions?

[pavyracer]

My questions were easy today and I went all the way. I only had to google the first one.

My FIRST question was pretty hard. It was what MLB team playedi n Cuba in 1999.. Hard to remember that far back. I just guessed the Marlins because that makes the most sense, but it was Baltimore. I don't remember that.

[dante1]

I had that same question many months ago and guessed and got it wrong. Guys trivia is free if an occasional error occurs tell Lou and get it fixed. No reason to get angry over a gift, it's all gravy--right? This is like bitchin to Santa.

[mikejamm]

Yeah wtf, questions from the 1800's! Way to stay up with the times! I don't mind trying to solve solve vintage old school trivia, but this is fuk'in ridiculous! Could you all at least stay withing the 1900's?

[timmyboy34243]

my 50 pointer today was to guess which team one of the Turk brothers was punting for in 2002...........how the f*kk do i know who punted for a team i don't give a flip about, it's not like he was ray guy for crying out loud.

[dante1]

Stranger offered me $20 today for absolutely nothing. I took the money but after thinking a bit I am really pissed. He should have offered me $50. The dog.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

SBR trivia needs more international soccer questions.

Thanks.
