Yeah, I didn't do well on the baseball HOF one either. I did get 115/120 FBS nicknames correct though (Arkansas St., Florida Intl., Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Monroe, and UAB were the ones I missed). I've done well on some others but they were probably the type that were easy for everyone so I won't bother listing them.

 

EDIT: Tried the FCS one and got 28/125 (not that I expected to do well). I'm sure Harley Quinn would get a perfect score though lol.

Same score on FBS with 5:30 remaining. Failed on Arkansas State, Ball State, Southern Miss, Toledo & NMSU.

 

Arkansas State is bullshit, they were the Indians up until Fall 2008. The other 4 I have no excuse beyond not playing NCAA 09 so it's been 2 years since I've seen most of those teams.

I do this every day. Great time waster.

 

I'll have to go back and post some of the better ones. I think I aced the RBs over 10K yards quiz.

 

Off topic: Countries of the World and Periodic Table are fun non-sports ones.

I'm dying on the HOF in part because of the Negro Leaguers but also because I've totally blanked on almost any and all pitchers... bah. Most annoying was knowing I knew the names but couldn't recall them for the life of me: 58/232

 

I suck with team nicknames in general and just remember the location.

 

FBS Nicknames: 89/120

FCS Nicknames: 28/125 - I missed Southern Illinois b/c I couldn't spell the nickname right

I got 19/20 on NBA all-time scorers and like 14/20 on assists. I think I got all of the 20 highest scoring games, but those are easier since one answer can count more than once (e.g. Chamberlain had multiple appearances.)

My Achille's heel in any trivia medium has always been the Elements. This might help.

 

Country results forthcoming. What score did you hit in Geo Challenge, by the way?

10 Most Valuable Franchises in Each Sport: 32/40

 

Name the athletes from their nicknames: 44/84 (Boxing and golf destroyed me)

These ones tend to kill me because I'll know some of the answers, but don't know the spelling of their names. Like "Olajuwon" and however the hell you spell out Coach K's full name, for example.

World Series winners

 

Got all 104 with 8:55 remaining (out of 15 minutes).

 

I was able to get all the NL MVP's, and missed one AL MVP...Charlie Gehringer...can't believe that I missed him.

 

I got 89 out of the 104, but got every single one correct from 1947-2008.
