This is a short game where you try to out-think other forum posters.

Previous rounds have been hosted by @Mano and @Minicoop69. The rules will remain the same for this iteration.

Rules:
  • There are two types of questions: Sheep questions (1-13) and Reverse Sheep questions (14-25).
  • For Sheep questions (1-13), 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 least often 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.
  • 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. Incorrect answers for Sheep questions will be worth 0.
  • The lowest total score wins. In the above two examples, your current score would be 11 – 7 = 5.
  • No using Google, Wikipedia, etc. if you don't have to. Try to remain moral in this (i.e. don't use them to cheat).
  • Fill out the Google Form to submit your answers. Do not post them in this thread or tell anyone else.
  • Answers are due by Sunday, June 26th at 11:59PM EDT. Answers will be revealed over the following day(s).

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like any of your responses were recorded. You'll have to submit your answers again.

Just goes to show that the Boneyard should always take precedence over real work.

Should Cliff be worth any points in question 1?
I took the question with 'played' to mean any time while a player played (had his career) at UConn Calhoun wasn't the coach, but Cliff would count if you take the question to mean that anyone who played a game pre-Calhoun counts.

Interestingly, my first thought was Earl Kelley since he was the player most responsible for ending Perno era and prompting the coaching change but with shadows back to 1985-86, I knew Earl was a stay-away.

Also I don't think KO played with LeBron. Ko was let go the offseason LeBron was drafted

I think BoatShow has his Sheep and Reverse Sheep mixed up...
May I just go on record that I joined this inane game simply to finish ahead of you. I'm hoping I finish second to last to accomplish that but won't get greedy and do what it takes.
Also apparently Boatshow has already locked up that spot.

I'm not saying I'll win, but I will surely out think your old ale-sodden brain.

Cliff's freshman season was the year before Calhoun got to UConn, so he counts. I'll be sure to vet all the answers that come in, but am open to different interpretations of the questions. I think that's part of the fun in these games.
