Lonny's Big-time Sports Quiz

[lonny23]

Fellow board members,

I'm going to come up with a comprehensive quiz and want to know who wants to take it. There's going to be a little something-something in there for everybody. I'll send it to you by PM and you'll get a certain amount of time to take the quiz. It will be something like 50 questions and you'll get like an hour to complete it. There probably won't be less questions, but I might ask more. I want this to be a good quiz for the board.

My sports interests are wide and varied and this quiz will be, too. I'll only ask questions that I already know the answer to. I won't be searching through the books to come up with questions to stump you, but I will ask questions that will challenge you! :p

Who's in for the quiz? I know some of you cats think you have it going on with trivia and this is your chance to shine. I think it will be a lot of fun for most of you guys. I'll release the results at the close of the quiz.

[reed35]

i'll take it. sounds fun.

[lonny24]

I'm In!

[PurpleNation]

Im in

[lonny23]

OK, guys I'll see how many are in between now and sometime during the weekend. I'll start coming up with questions, but will be limited by PM size. You'll probably have to print my questions and then give answers by the numbers.

It might have to be a multiple part quiz.

[DragonFan]

Me and Draronfan are in!

[Eagle Hombre]

I'm in -- :D :D :D

[dragonsdaddy]

count me in

[drgnbkr]

[AHS Mustangs]

Count me in

[PurpleNation]

What are the rules are we allowed to surf the internet because I think that would take some fun away from it. Either way I am in.

[LUFPAN]

All in.....show me the cards. :D

[LLionsAunt]

I'm in.

[panther96]

I am in Lonny

[DragonFan]

And the answers are:

1) Judson
2) Judson 1990
3) Judson
4) SA Judson pending a lawsuit
5) 1991 Judson
6) an *
7) Anybody but SLC

:D ;)

[lonny23]

I just got finished with the test. It's 50 questions and you get 90 minutes to complete it. If you don't get wordy with your answers, you can just forward the quiz back with the answers after the questions in a private message. Don't put it on the forum because somebody might cheat and see your answers. I have a read receipt on the quiz, so I'll know when you start reading. If you don't accept a read receipt, your test is invalid. Obviously, I dont want people to cheat and look stuff up and this is on the honor system. The wide range of questions in the test will not let you cheat on many questions, anyway. You'll spend too much time looking up the answers. I'm just looking for who gets the most right and anybody that comes close to acing it is awesome!

[lonny23]

And the answers are:

1) Judson
2) Judson 1990
3) Judson
4) SA Judson pending a lawsuit
5) 1991 Judson
6) an *
7) Anybody but SLC

:D ;)
I made sure to give you guys a wide range of questions. I'm not going to let you off that easy! :D

[ktCarl]

Lonny23, are you doing all of this with a laptop while sitting in a foxhole as Abdullah Mabullah al Kirkisdirt is shooting at you?
Keep safe.

[lonny23]

When I send out the quiz, I'll only be able to send it to 5 guys at a time. Our private message box only holds 50 messages, so send me an email if my box is full. Make sure your user name is in the email.

lonny.rowden@maab.centaf.af.mil

All you need to do to add the questions and answers to an email is to copy everything and paste in your email.

[lonny23]

Lonny23, are you doing all of this with a laptop while sitting in a foxhole as Abdullah Mabullah al Kirkisdirt is shooting at you?
Keep safe.
No, I get to sit in a chair at a desk inside a building. That's good because it's a little cold outside and dark! :D

[wide-e-wide]

I'm in...but only if Pack0808 does it too.

[lonny23]

I'm in...but only if Pack0808 does it too.
C'mon Pack. You can do it. This is a challenging quiz!

[svhorns]

im in if i can still do it

[GarlandOwl06]

Count me in Lonny

[lonny23]

I went back to verify all the answers and I took out a few questions because I was a little off on my answer. I replaced the questions I took out with other questions I knew the answer to.

[CyFallsMom]

I'm In!!!

[baylordad]

I am with ya Lonnie. Bring 'er on.

[toonman]

Count me in!

[wide-e-wide]

I'm gonna be at the Longhorns game Saturday...so I may not be able to take the quiz until Sunday ...or Sunday afternoon.

[pack0808]

I'm in...but only if Pack0808 does it too.


I had enough school with enough test's to last me 10 life times. LOL I guess i am in if wide is going to call me out like that?? ;)

[DragonFan]

So Lonnie, you fired some questions and rehired some other? :D

[AllenEagle06]

So is this quiz more than just football, but sports like basketball, baseball, or even soccer?

[garlandowl08]

Can there be a version for us youngsters too? From what I've read, you have a massivly cast knowledge of all sports that I can only hope to live up to...

[JackHandey_98]

Count me in

[dragons08]

count me in lonny, i dont know when i'll be able to take it, i may not do good on the highschool histroy part of it, hope its all sports (profesional), how would we do this though? lets say you send me the pm and i read it like an hour later, do i only get a half hour? or do i just tell you when i start or something??

[dragons08]

Can there be a version for us youngsters too? From what I've read, you have a massivly cast knowledge of all sports that I can only hope to live up to...
yes please!!! a junior version!

[gtownowlfootball06]

I'm in.

[SeguinMatadors]

I want in.

[Primetime536]

yes please!!! a junior version!
hell no, no jr version, if you cant hang then dont take it

[lonny23]

So Lonnie, you fired some questions and rehired some other? :D
I fired some questions, but went to the unemployment line to get some others. Nobody got rehired in this quiz. I came up with questions and if I had the right answer, it stayed. If my answer was wrong, I fired the question and came up with another question.

[lonny23]

So is this quiz more than just football, but sports like basketball, baseball, or even soccer?
There's a little bit for everybody's taste! :p

[lonny23]

I'm gonna be at the Longhorns game Saturday...so I may not be able to take the quiz until Sunday ...or Sunday afternoon.
If I lose the bet with Redskins, I'll have to wait until Monday. Otherwise, it will be on Saturday or Sunday. I'll wait until everybody reads it before releasing the results.

[lonny23]

Can there be a version for us youngsters too? From what I've read, you have a massivly cast knowledge of all sports that I can only hope to live up to...
I'll probably do something like that in the future. This quiz may be way too hard or too varied and I'll adjust as necessary. I can focus on specific sports and I can ask questions that I think are easier. This quiz isn't so hard for individual questions, but does require a wide knowledge base.

[lonny23]

count me in lonny, i dont know when i'll be able to take it, i may not do good on the highschool histroy part of it, hope its all sports (profesional), how would we do this though? lets say you send me the pm and i read it like an hour later, do i only get a half hour? or do i just tell you when i start or something??
I'll ask for a read receipt and you need to say yes. You get 90 minutes from the time you read the private message.

I asked from high school to the pros, individual sports and team sports.

[lonny23]

yes please!!! a junior version!
Does the junior version need recent questions? Are you looking for easy questions? This quiz has stuff from this year all the way back to before any of us were born.

[lonny23]

hell no, no jr version, if you cant hang then dont take it
You're going to love this one! :p

[LLionsAunt]

I am hoping I haven't missed the quiz. Are you still working on it Lonnie? We two are leaving for Ft Worth tomorrow morning. I think there will be atleast one lap top going, So I will be able to still take the quiz. Let me know.
Thanks

No, I'm waiting until after the Friday night games. I want to see who will post tonight and want to take the quiz. I will do it on Saturday if Judson wins and Monday if Judson loses since I can't post on Saurday and Sunday as part of a bet.

[lonny23]

Hey, we have 27 so far, but that's not enough. Some noticeable absences are:

The board administrators
Most of San Antonio
farmerfan, who does know trivia
Redskins, who I'll send the test to before he gets banned!
West Texas
bleedgreen
Scooter!
ThEgReAtOnE
CC57. Oh, yeah. He can't take it! ;)

C'mon guys and girls. If you win, you get a lot of bragging rights around here. We've got some top guys taking the quiz and you can knock them off the perch. Somebody has to want to beat Wide-e-wide and others. Some of the Hall of Famers have thrown their hat in the ring. Some others need to join in.

[dragons08]

itd be cool if it happend recently last 10 years or so, because i wasnt alive before that, though i do no stuff from before i was born so i guess i'll take the real one and if you make a jr one i'll take that one as well

[dragons08]

[Butch Fifield]

[dragons08]

cheating is legal, till you get caught!

[lonny23]

before i start i need to know if people are googling the answers.....
I hope not, but there are always cheaters. I'll ask further questions if I think cheating is going on.

[lonny23]

hey! i wanna try this thing!
No problem.

[dragons08]

I hope not, but there are always cheaters. I'll ask further questions if I think cheating is going on.
thats why i dont cheat, usually people will know and will ask you something and bam they dont know

[Butch Fifield]

oh well, i took it in about 5 minutes. knew like 8-10 of them.

[lonny23]

oh well, i took it in about 5 minutes. knew like 8-10 of them.
That's why I don't want anybody to cheat. The questions are broad, but not impossible to know. There's no shame in this test because it wasn't designed for most people to get a good score. I'll release the complete results after everybody takes the test.

[dragons08]

oh well, i took it in about 5 minutes. knew like 8-10 of them.
i saw 5 min and my jaw dropped, then saw the next thing and was like oh....i probally wont be able to take this untill tuesday is that okay?

[wide-e-wide]

My wife opened up an e-mail/PM and started the test I guess..
she told me...and I was like Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!
I haven't seen 1 question on the quiz....but I wll take a different quiz if 'yall want me to.....and guess what?

You losers will still lose.Lonny knows that...

I'm like Larry Bird in the 3 point competition.....

"I just want to let everybody know....'yall are shootin' for 2nd place"

He actually said that.....The hick from French Lick...hahahahahah

[dragonfootballfan]

oh well, i took it in about 5 minutes. knew like 8-10 of them.
that is exactly what I did. What is funny is I knew a lot more in the beginning than the end

It doesn't say you've read the quiz yet.

[wide-e-wide]

So is it an e-mail?...I'll check it out...My computer is fried...so I hope it doesn't shut down right in the middle of the quiz.

[ruffshod]

It was a great challenge. kinda touched all areas. I changed about 6 of my answers before I typed them. Two for sure were correct just wasn't sure about the years.

[rancher52]

Is it too late to do this or can one just get a copy?

[farmerfan]

oh well, i took it in about 5 minutes. knew like 8-10 of them.

same here, really not a great way to test someone sports knowledge, did not feel like a true sports trivia quiz.

[dragons08]

whens the deadline to take it by??

[lonny23]

Is it too late to do this or can one just get a copy?
No, it's not too late.

[farmerfan]

same here, really not a great way to test someone sports knowledge, did not feel like a true sports trivia quiz.


but then again my knowledge is stricly in baseball and high school football to go along with some nba, and ncaa football and basketball. o well.

[lonny23]

but then again my knowledge is stricly in baseball and high school football to go along with some nba, and ncaa football and basketball. o well.
I knew you were strong in baseball, but I didn't think it was fair to limit the quiz to just a few sports. We have people on here talking trash about how much they knew about sports and I wanted to just test that knowledge out.

[lonny23]

whens the deadline to take it by??
How about a deadline of Wednesday at midnight? I'll declare a winner at that time, so you guys and girls that haven't taken it need to do so quickly. This is a no lookup quiz and you get 90 minutes to complete it.

[LUFPAN]

Will there be any prize for lowest score? Its my only hope. :D

[dragons08]

Will there be any prize for lowest score? Its my only hope. :D
embarssment of being beaten by your peers??

[lonny23]

Will there be any prize for lowest score? Its my only hope. :D
You didn't even win that! :D
