UConn Reverse Sheep Trivia

[Deepster]

It was once mentioned during a radio game broadcast. I never forgot that.

Almost went with Holy Cross.

Not buying that for a second.

 

[Dogdeacon]

I’m gonna question people naming someone like Dartmouth in that last answer (ahem, @Dove) - who’s knowing those answers blind? I call BS.

Understanding part of the fun is if the satin pants fit you canNOT acquit but the rules are hardly ironclad. No googling IF you don’t have to. TRY to remain moral. No penalties cited.

I’d bet > 1/3 of the crowd especially those that aren’t longtime fans consult others or the internet on a question or two and the spirit of the above is don’t use unless you HAVE to could reasonably be interpreted as ok to use on one or two answers if you have no idea. A telltale of who may have consulted the Internet is did that someone give ANY wrong answers. 80-90% on UConn Trivia is still a pretty damn good fan, 100% should be rare even among the diehards of the non casual that populate this board and participate in this contest. Wrong answers are too rare.

• 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).

Apparently, I need to Costanza next year's reverse sheep answers. I discarded L'ville, Cincy and Rutty believing nobody would remember UCF.

We're really giving credit to Florida for women's lacrosse?

 

[boog204]

When the hell was Florida in our conference? I’m calling shenanigans.

 

[storrsroars]

When the hell was Florida in our conference? I’m calling shenanigans.

They're still in our conference. For women's lacrosse only.

I sincerely doubt anyone who's daughter isn't on the UConn women's lacrosse team knew that.

I guess this is also the question where navery suggested the most obvious answer got zero votes - BC - which would be a correct answer even if they were never in the BE, similar to how Florida qualifies.

That’s exactly the answer a CHEATER would provide!

I’m also annoyed cuz I didn’t have time to properly answer some of them so I rushed it.

The one I was referring to was a scholarship member of the 2023 national championship team, and Clingan had 0 votes

Thought this was referring to basketball only, otherwise would’ve picked a hockey east school.

Not that im in the running to win anyways…

That was the intention, though people always seem to find loopholes and the question wording left it open

 

[thekollieman]

I stumbled into a correct answer there. I - apparently erroneously - thought Florida was in the “old big east” for basketball for the final year or two before it disbanded.

In other words, I got it wrong as far as my belief, but apparently am being credited by the grace of women’s lacrosse or something?

Wouldn’t this apply to the free throw question then?

 

[navery12]

Don't really view that one as a loophole since it said all questions are about UConn men's basketball unless stated otherwise

 

[Chin Diesel]

So UConn and Florida were in the same men's basketball conference?

This is an interesting argument for not counting Florida

 

[Chin Diesel]

FYI, thanks for doing this and giving us a unifying reason to piss and moan in the off season.

 

[Get a Job]

Yeah, I don't think it should count based on the wording of your rules and the wording of the question.

I don't care about the standings*. Just providing my read of the facts of the case.

*I reserve the right to take this back if I finish second to @thekollieman

 

[Marbles90]

Question: This was mentioned earlier in the thread: Would TCU or Boise State counted as a correct answer? I can’t believe nobody answered with either of those two. I originally put TCU but then changed it. Would it have counted?

 

[thekollieman]

Yeah, I don't think it should count based on the wording of your rules and the wording of the question.

You won’t hear any complaints from me if I get changed to having an incorrect answer. I knew I had a reason for thinking this, however wrong it was, but I’ve pieced it together: I like to go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole reading into topics of interest whenever I’m procrastinating, and recall seeing Florida listed somewhere on the Big East Conference wiki as a member at some point (without remembering it was just an “associate member”).

I combined that memory with knowing UConn played them in the regular season at least a couple times around 10 years ago (the Shabazz buzzer beater game that I attended at Gampel, e.g.).

Had I thought about it longer I would have remembered UConn was already not in the Big East anymore by then, and would have recognized Florida basketball never was an AAC member, and then probably chosen UCF with the rest of the Sheeple.

No one asked for an explanation, but there it is for anyone who had ruffled feathers questioning thekollieman’s integrity.

Yup, I think 73. There were a few others in that 69-73 range as well

I also missed on Corny Thompson for 3 years in the nba. So suck it.
