why the hell was the game started at 2pm then?
Game started at 1:02 pm.

They knew before the game there was a 4:30 hard stop. B12 had similar travel rules.

The only thing that would've been better is if the pitcher fell down and held his hammy.

Probably need to update the unsportsmanlike behavior section of the rulebook so an ump can override and allow the next inning.

the SEC has a travel curfew that no inning can start after 4:30 pm on Sunday.

Why, again?

They did us a favor.

Sure we have the bats, but Early would have found a way to frick it up.

I love how is is in autopilot and not trying to win games, then comes out at the end of the game like he cares all of a sudden.

This is for poor schools like Kentucky who have to fly commercial.

Because in theory the players are still student athletes and the SEC doesn’t want the away team arriving back home at 1 am when some of the players have 8 am Monday morning classes.

Not like we are in contention for anything whatsoever. Bush league maybe but not consequential at all. Let's just move on and get this clusterfrick of a season over with.

I almost feel bad for Earley. Guy looks like a complete clown. Hopefully Schloss can rehab his career when he gets paid to leave a&m.

The travel rule sucks but it’s nothing new and has been around for years.
It really sucks when the game is tied.

Tip of the cap to the UK coach. I would have done and will continue to do the same thing. Deal with it.

It’s not that bad. They could’ve drilled a kid to extend the inning.

You think Schloss will take him back if he comes knocking?

So a three and a half hour 8 inning game?

Give them both an L and move on.

Commerical flights don't wait. That is why the rule is in place.

Mingione is a douche. That is all I have to add to the conversation.

Most SEC teams charter flights these days. It's kind of an archaic rule from when they didn't charter flights. We've had plenty of games called early over the years over the curfew rule and it's been annoying every single time.

Mingione is also a douche

Should have started the game at 11:00AM or earlier to all but ensure the game gets played in its entirety.

I recall Texas doing this in the third game of a three-game series with LSU in Austin in 1998. The teams split the first two games, and Texas won the third game 7-5 when it was called after eight innings. Aferward, a reporter asked Skip Bertman what he thought about Texas stalling in the bottom of the eighth. He said he understood why they did it. He also said it wasn't something he would do, but he understood why Texas did it.

Not bush league and completely irrelevant. Aggy wasn't gonna score 5 runs in 2 minutes.
