UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia - Round 3

[August_West]

Ajou wasn't eligible in 99

 

[jfuchs91]

You sure Ajou wasn't on the team?

He was in the program, but wasn't technically on the 1999 team. As a result, he's not on the 1999 team roster. Just like Purvis isn't considered part of the 2014 championship team.

That said, I'm open to overruling that if people think I'm in the wrong.

[Mano]

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.

Mission accomplished I'd say. And now you get to host the next inane round to boot! (you know, if you want to) I'm sure you'll be pulling out all the stops! Deepster is waiting with bated breath.

Thank you for a great round and finely polished presentation JFuchs. Cheers!

Thanks jfuchs, you did a fantastic Job. Can I request a championship belt instead of the trophy?

 

[Robertelamin]

Thanks for running this, it was fun.

Big congrats to @BoatShow as well. What a performance!

 

[August_West]

Once I get the belt around my waist ; stay tuned for the big announcement tomorrow concerning the future of the sheep game. It is Yuge.

I'm calling some big time shenanigans in googling these answers.

 

[Deepster]

Really odd how this game swings on the quality/difficulty of questions.

Some Sheep questions had a 24-29 pt swing if you didn't get them right meaning the obvious answer was pretty easy.
Some Reverse Sheep questions had only a 1 or 2 pt gain if you came up with something correct and super obscure.

Easy to dig yourself into a 30 pt hole....then hard to dig your way out of it. Other games, it seems as though the Reverse Sheep round had more impact.

Everyone deserves some recognition.

Hey, congrats on the huge win. You now join a heralded list of the other Sheep champions....whoever they were.

Hey, congrats on the huge win. You now join a heralded list of the other Sheep champions....whoever they were.

That's because they werent big asses Just nice guys who won a game. No gloating, no self promotion, they won with dignity.
Conversely, im a special type of ass.i don't know the definition of dignity. I'm going to milk this for all its worth. No one will ever forget. It will be written into the annals of the yard and over time the handle " August west" and the term " champion " will become interchangeable.

Also I will be touring the state with my belt this week. Come check it out. You can take a pic with it. I'll waive the 5 buck fee for you.

Funny. My first thought when reading all of the different responses was "Now we know where everyone went to college"
