2nd ever UCONN (Reverse) Sheep Trivia

[Minicoop69]

A short game where you try to out-think other forum posters.

Rules:

• There are two types of questions: Sheep questions (1-16) and Reverse Sheep questions (17-26).
  
• For Sheep questions (1-16), you want to answer what you think will be given most often by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a Duke player" a good answer might be Christian Laettner and a bad answer would likely be Nick Horvath.
  
• For Reverse Sheep questions (14-25), you want to give the answer that you think will be given leastoften by other people. For example, if the question is "Name a basketball conference in the NCAA", a terrible answer would probably be the ACC. A good answer would probably be the Horizon League.
  
• In Sheep questions, you get one negative point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. For example, if you and six other people said Laettner, all seven of you would get -7 points. No points are given if you are the only person to say an answer.
  
• In Reverse Sheep questions, you get one positive point for every person that gives the same answer as you, including yourself. If you and ten other people said the ACC, you would get 11 points.
  
• The lowest total score wins. In the above two examples, your current score would be 11 – 7 = 5.
• I am CONTENT if you want to use GOOGLE, WIKIPEDIA, ETC,. to answer these questions.
• Click on the URL below the questions and fill out the Google Form with your answers.
• Don't post your answers in this thread as well, PLEASE!!!
• Incorrect answers in Reverse Sheep get the number of points for the answer with the most votes + 1, making it worse than giving the worst correct answer.
  
• Answers are due by Thursday, May 26th at midnight.

If you guys want an example of how these games usually go, head on over here to a website I used to frequent for an example thread of one of these games. Also, largely where I ripped this game off from.

I'm going to make this first attempt at this game as UConn-centric as possible. Also these are questions concerning the Men's teams and players unless otherwise noted.

Lets try to get in more people this time.

Here are the questions.

UCONN (Reverse) Sheep Questions

 

[Matrim55]

Question No. 3 is incorrect -- I think you mean 2006.

 

[Minicoop69]

Question No. 3 is incorrect -- I think you mean 2006.

Shoot. I wrote it as 2006 but typed it in as 2004. Will fix.

 

[Tommyboy]

Also, there are a number of questions that specifically say "UConn Player" and others that just say "Player". I took those to mean it didn't have to be a UConn player? Am I wrong?

 

[Minicoop69]

It is corrected on the Google form.

Right. Tommy boy.
Also can you pm me your change to question 3..

 

[Minicoop69]

Question No. 3 is incorrect -- I think you mean 2006.

Is there any way that I can change the op?

 

[Mano]

This game seems like it'll be a fun time, think I'll give it a try.

 

[Mano]

You could perhaps throw yourself upon the mercy of one of the mods.

 

[Minicoop69]

@Dogdeacon

can you pm me your change to question 3.

 

[partyATkemba]

the double reverse psychology is daunting in my brain.

 

[Minicoop69]

Those of you that replied. How did you feel about the questions this time around?

Loved it Minicoop - great job thank you. Only googled 2 of them trying like heck not to just to test myself but a couple I couldn't even be sure of my answers. It's fun no matter how you choose to do it - great questions.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Thank you much. I gave at least one answer to a question I didn't read all the way through. It's still a great answer.

 

[Tommyboy]

I did the same thing with one question. Didn't realize till after I answered the question totally wrong.

 

[navery12]

I still tried to not Google anything just to test myself, so there's a decent chance I have some pretty bad answers

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Since we can see the answers afterwards, some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. We should be docked APR points for your lack of reading ability.

13. Since when is "Caddyshack" a basketball sports movie?
15. UConn was not even a double digit seed in the NCAA tournament.
19. Stanford is not a town that exists in CT.
23. In what world has UCLA and Arizona won an NCAA championship since 2000?

I was a victim of memory. No Google for me

I had 2 googles both off the basketball focus - not a Will Ferrell fan although I knew the racing film I wanted but didn't know the name and besides Dodgeball had no idea what other sports movie Vince Vaugh was in. Other than that I was with you.

Yep I googled the exact same two things, its great to be old!

 

[Chin Diesel]

Weird. There's nothing to be had by "winning" this other than bragging rights and there's no way to prevent bad actors from using search engines if the rules say they are banned.

With that in mind, obtuse questions almost lose their effectiveness, because if no one playing the game knows the answer, Google certainly will get if for everyone.

It's tricky selecting questions but after seeing two rounds of this it almost seems like questions with multiple known answers are better than "tough" questions.

This game is less about knowledge of subject matter and more about trying to predict group think.

I'm guilty of one of those. I decided to hurry through the quiz just going on my first instincts and not putting much thought into it. Flipping through the rolodex in my brain, I mis-remembered Arizona as winning in 2008, instead of 1998. Years blend together a little as you get older.

Also should have gotten the Vince Vaughn question. Saw Field of Dreams recently on cable and thought he was in it as one of the baseball player ghosts who come back to play with Ray Liotta, but now that I Googled, I probably needed to give it a little more time and I would have gotten it. I remember that role of his.

Unlike the first time minicoop said its ok to google.

 

[Mano]

Bump for those that maybe missed it. Good luck tomorrow @Minicoop69, this shizzle can be time consuming, at least for me it was.

Edit: I see submissions are due by tomorrow, so good luck whenever then.

 

[Minicoop69]

As a quick reminder, deadline is tonight at midnight. I will start gathering information in the morning and then start listing answers.
