Some already are. I was at a restaurant yesterday where they were seating every table.

Funny, but if I ran the University of Texas, I’d start feeling funny about the young man’s scholarship. He gets a scholarship to play football. No football, no scholarship.

Every year is a good year to forego interleague play. But you have to have interleague play every set of series or you have two teams sitting around for 3 or 4 days doing nothing. That’s the result of leagues with an odd number of teams.

It was before the pandemic. They’ve started to go hard to the social topics well in the absence of games and the presence of protests.

Without games and actual on-field topics to discuss, I feel my subscription is less valuable by the day. I can read about social topics and politics elsewhere. I go to sports sites to read about sports.

Won an extra-innings World Series game. Inb4 all the Nancy Kerrigans on this board start crying.

There will have to be some sort of interleague play just by the simple fact that each division and each league has an odd number of teams. That’s how we have the current mess of interleague play everyday once the Astros were forced to move to the AL to give each league 15 teams.

Unless 2 teams are given a series off for each set of series in the league, there will be some sort of interleague play. Given the time constraints, I don’t see that happening nor should it.

Vitale completely embarrassed himself in that first interview.

True, but he embarrasses himself every time someone puts a microphone in his face.

I like a game with a lot of balls in play if there are a lot of hits and not a lot of walks and deep counts. Eight walks for one pitcher is a lot.

Wood was so dominant that I’m sure the game flowed. Shane Reynolds pitched a complete game and lost and the game went 2:19. Even allowing for Reynolds giving up eight hits and and two walks with 10Ks, that seems like a crisp, well-paced game.

Urban is the third. He won two national titles in three years.

The fourth one is a take your pick. Stallings, Fulmer, Miles, Chizik and Orgeron all won national championships. I would lean toward Stallings or Fulmer. Miles only won the one national championship and SEC title and same for Orgeron. And Chizik's tenure was short and done once Newton left. He didn't do much before or after Newton's one year.

I don't know why you have a photo of Curry and Dye together considering Dye's last year was 1992. And Curry went to one bowl in seven seasons at Kentucky once he left Alabama after the '89 season. Neither one comes close if this is a post-'92 discussion.

So does that put us back at 82 games? It’s the mid point between 50 and 114.
