OT: The Other Sports Thread (Titans, Vols, Dores, etc) - Part VIII

[Armourboy]

Game has officially been postponed. NFL aiming to get it played Monday or Tuesday

I'd do it Tuesday. 1 gives you more time, 2. Football on Tuesday.

Great for fans, but the teams would hate the short turnaround for the next game.

Wouldn't be any worse than a Sunday - Thursday game.

 

[Predsanddead24]

I feel like two shorter weeks versus one week with essentially no prep is probably preferable for the Titans.

 

[NoNecksCurse]

doesn't help they are playing the steelers who are 3-0

 

[Armourboy]

Titans - Steelers game won't be played at all now.

Well, won't be played this week. They will make it up later in the season. I think what you will see happen is the Steelers-Ravens game currently scheduled for week 7 moved to week 8 when they both had a bye week. Then they will play the Steelers-Titans week 7.

Is that the first major leaguer from Loretto?

No his Dad won a World Series with the Yankees and his Sister is one of the top Basketball players in the state.

Loretto always has had good girls hoops players. I'm from Lewisburg--we met up quite a bit back in the day.

She got her team to the championship game as a freshman and they were in the final four until Covid caused the season to be canceled. She is easily the Ms. Basketball favorite this year and next in Single A

Speaking of girls basketball, do you all remember me talking about Crystal Dangerfield back a few years ago, the basketball player at Blackman? She won rookie of the year in the WNBA.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Titans vs Bills is being moved to Tuesday... IF there are no more positive tests.

Good for her! I lived in Marshall Co from 1972 til 76 (plus summers home til 79). In that time period Girls won state at least twice. This was back when they played the half court style, which was a different game--it wouldn't have translated to WNBA well, even if there had been one back then. I like both but girls are better served playing the full court style if they have aspirations of moving on in the sport.

I grew up in Shelbyville when they went on their run winning State and National Championships. My parents have had passes to the Girls State Championships since the early 90's. We've been from Arizona to Pennsylvania watching the Eaglettes play.

Vols losing to Georgia by 3 TDs.

Vols losing to Georgia by 3 TDs.

Sigh. It's what I get for wearing orange, showing my fandom. Bleh.

I didn't think UT would win...but I had hope at the half. Dashed that all to pieces. Oh well. 8 wins in a row was pretty nice, won't lie.

 

[Armourboy]

Arkansas got screwed out of a win by the Refs. Clear backwards pass rules intentional grounding instead of a fumble

 

[PredsV82]

Well, Kentuckys loss to Ole Miss doesnt look quite as bad now....

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Well, Kentuckys loss to Ole Miss doesnt look quite as bad now....

Those "pro-caliber" defenses in the SEC doing work again, I see.

 

[PredsV82]

Are there even going to be bowl games or a playoff this year?

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

Once Nashville joins MLB, I have a feeling they will want the Memphis AAA club to be their top affiliate.

I'm sure the Cardinals will be more than willing to let go of Memphis. I could see the Cardinals purchasing the Dodgers' stake in the OKC club and making them their top affiliate, with the Dodgers moving AAA to Fresno, meaning all 8 Mountain/Pacific MLB teams have their top affiliates in those time zones.

My wife is outraged that fans are allowed in the stadium after the game had to be postponed due to COVID-19!

My wife is also from the Buffalo area.

Titans 14 Bills 7 just into the second quarter.
