itchypickle · 10-21-11, 11:43 AM

wow. I got these two gems for an easy 50 pts last night:

What conference does Navy football belong? Big 12, SEC, Conference USA, Independent

What player graced the cover of NCAA Football 12? Mark Ingram, and 3 other random choices

blackbeSSt · 10-21-11, 11:45 AM

not too long ago the mods picked some users to write some new trivia questions (i was one of the picked by i plum forgot about it).

TWEETS · 10-21-11, 11:46 AM

I want to start writing....

"How many blades of grass are on a regulation NFL field?"

stikymess · 10-21-11, 11:46 AM

What year did a college football player first pick up the ball during a soccer game and run with it?

<LI class="mine ">1921 <LI class="correct ">1823
1999
1900

This was a 50 pointer, think I'm going to now stop at 10 points now.

VegasInsider · 10-21-11, 11:46 AM

Yeah, I think most of the questions came from the posters that helped write questions. I wrote 90 questions for them (30 easy/med/hard).

I made sure my questions weren't totally obscure.

Quit calling it trivia and call it Multiple Guess

The correct answer is none of the above:

September 28, 1901* Albion Regents Field • Ann Arbor, MI W 55–0
October 5, 1901* Case Regents Field • Ann Arbor, MI W 57–0
October 12, 1901 Indiana Regents Field • Ann Arbor, MI W 33–0
October 19, 1901 Northwestern Regents Field • Ann Arbor, MI W 29–0
October 26, 1901* Buffalo Regents Field • Ann Arbor, MI W 128–0

November 9, 1901* at Ohio State University Park • Columbus, OH W 21–0

If you add all the scores up it's 555.

SBR needs to buy a calculator.

Were you the brainiac who wrote "who was the back up back up qb for the 1997 giants? It is called third string, not back up back up. Whover wrote this and whoever approved it must converse in pig latin daily.

Thanks guys, we've deleted these two questions from the trivia database.

It seems those questions weren't asked of you today, or else I could've reset your trivia. I've given you each 5 points though.

TexansFan · 10-21-11, 01:13 PM

My 125 pointer was what song plays when (I can't remember the name of the Philly player) he comes to bat, or something like that.

I guessed it right but damn.

spankie · 10-21-11, 01:15 PM

SHADYLANKY · 10-21-11, 01:28 PM

Yeah I went for the 125 pointer last night and it was retarded. I will just stop at the 50 pointer like before.

King Mayan · 10-21-11, 01:37 PM

i didnt receive trrivia?????

70kgman · 10-21-11, 01:38 PM

Who wrote this question? "Which ice hockey term is a "quick shot made with a snap of the wrist"?

They are describing a snap shot, then the answer ends up being a "wrist shot", which is a pretty ignorant description of a wrist shot. They included "quick snap" as one of the options, so I picked that assuming they meant snap shot but chose some kind of moronic phrasing for it.

stikymess · 10-21-11, 01:41 PM

To check trivia dates, click "settings" under inbox and scroll down under "miscellaneous" there will be SBR triva click it and it tells you the dates you got trivia as well as the questions.

i do believe the term you are looking for is SLAP shot, not snap shot

but wrist shot is the correct answer for "quick shot made with a snap of the wrist"

Def not my question. Like I said, my questions were all pretty good. Nothing too obscure like the Michigan 1901 points question (which was wrong anyways

)

No, I did not mean slap shot which isn't even remotely related to that question at all.

Ok then, that answers my question. Whoever wrote that question just copied and pasted the description from dictionary.com, which is a pretty bad description since it is much closer to describing a snap shot than a wrist shot.

well if you didn't mean slap shot, then what in the hell is a snap shot in hockey?

The snap shot is accomplished with a quick snap of the wrists while the puck rests in place. The difference between a snap shot and a wrist shot is that the hockey blade is accelerated towards the puck from a small distance behind it. The snap shot is often considered a compromise between the wrist shot and slap shot, and can sometimes be mistaken for one or the other due to its inherently deceptive nature. -wiki
