    Nope. The SEC Championship in baseball is separate from the NCAA playoffs. The SEC championship in baseball  has been hosted in Birmingham AL since 1998. The SEC was basically trying to pretend to give a shit by delivering a threat with no teeth. They already don't host championships in MS. It was pretty obvious what they were doing, so this quickly followed on the heels of the SEC announcement

  2. My parents live on 36 acres and my dad has kept 20ish cows all my life.  Sometimes he makes money on them and sometimes not.  Definitely a hobby and not a ranch.  

    To me a ranch indicates an outfit that is financially self sufficient for at least the landowners if not also some paid hands.

    I’m glad all the problems in this country have been solved so the president can tweet this shit. 

    So Trump is like a recruit retweeting fan edits now?

    NY is slowing because they shutdown. Revisit this thought when they re-open to the extent Texas has.

    Yeah I agree with you there.  They will spike up again as they open up.  We'll see how much.

  5. Wow, in the bottom of the 9th, down 3-2, Rafael Landestoy led off with a walk.  Virdon left Joe Sambito in to bunt.  It's hard to imagine a manager letting a pitcher hit in that situation today.  Barely anyone even bunts in that situation any more.

    Sambito got the bunt down and Terry Puhl knocked the run in with a single.

    That bill is on turtles desk, already passed by the house. Why don't you take it up with him fuckhead.

    It would seem he just did?  Who else would he be talking to?  Although he probably knows nothing will come of it.

  7. Also, what a sports day that was.  Texas-OU at noon with Keith Jackson on the call.  NLCS Game 4 started at 3:15.  Keith got there and into the booth in the 5th inning.  And after the baseball game, they cleared the dome and changed to the football configuration for aggy at cougar high.  Here's the SI write-up:

    "The only two-day game of the century, Houston vs. Texas A&M, Oct. 11-12 1980." That was the wording on 1,200 T shirts sold for $5 each to commemorate a bizarre Southwest Conference clash. Ninety years ago, Yale beat Springfield 16-10 in the first "two-day" indoor game, a late-nighter in Madison Square Garden. Last week's tussle in the Astrodome did not begin until 11:33 p.m., having been delayed by the Phillie-Astro playoff game and by a four-hour conversion process that transformed the field from a diamond into a gridiron.

    When it was over, Texans joked that A&M had won Saturday's game 7-0 and that Houston had beaten the Aggies 17-6 on Sunday. Indeed, A&M scored shortly before midnight, was caught at 7-7 early Sunday morning and lost 17-13 after having committed seven turnovers. Terald Clark of the Cougars rushed for 103 yards, and Quarterback Brent Chinn ran 13 yards for the go-ahead score along about 1:30 a.m. All 46,525 tickets for the game were sold, about 36,000 spectators showed up and almost 19,000 hardy souls lingered until the end at 2:48 a.m.

    Despite playing at a more decent hour, Oklahoma and Texas were guilty of 14 turnovers, eight by the Sooners. The Longhoms, who led 10-0 at halftime, fell behind 13-10 early in the fourth quarter and then were led to a pair of scores by Quarterback Donnie Little. In keeping the Longhorns unbeaten, Little ran for 110 yards and passed for 99.

     

  8. I've been working through all the 1980 NLCS games that ATTSW ran last week while working.  This was a crazy play in Game 4:

    Runners on 1st and 2nd and the hitter is jams badly and hits it out toward the mound.  No one seems sure of whether Vern Ruhle caught it in the air or short hopped it.  He threw to 1st and everyone stood around not sure whether he had doubled off the runner from 1st or forced the batter.  Then Art Howe ran down to 2nd because the runner originally on 2nd had gone to 3rd.  After a 15 minute delay, they finally decided  it was a catch and the runner from 1st was doubled off but they let the runner go back to 2nd because they said the umpire screwed up in not making it clear whether the ball was caught or not.  Keep watching until the umps go talk to the NL president, Chub Feeney.  He's sitting in the 1st row by the dugout puffing on a cigar.  Lulz, much cooler than Selig when they asked him what to do in the ASG.  Both teams played the game under protest.

  9. Someone explain the APA to me.  What are the requirements for reversing a previous administration's executive order?  I thought that was done pretty routinely (which is one reason why I think executive power should be curbed and the legislature should pass laws but that's another topic).

    So in the Northeast, no one knew the virus was going to be THAT contagious?  No one had any idea?

    For the first one, it looks like Williams but I can't think of one unless it's old one M Jimy

    I don't see anything I can identify on the 2nd picture.

    Third picture I've got Pete Munro, Mike Gallo?, Morgan Ensberg, and Brandon Backe?  Don't know the top one.

    Don't know the last picture.
