Oh, there are so many ways this thread could go from here

And it is on a major river in PA. River . . . wilderness . . . Maybe Steve's new name will be "Ned".

Oh wait, he is bringing refreshments. Never mind. Steve, you are a wonderful crew member, best crew member ever!!

So, I'm not the only one hearing dueling banjos?

Just to clear some f this - Big Slick and I are 2 of those on this board heading to a Regional. And while Sally, oops - did it again, I mean Big Slick likes some different kinds of drinks, I will have a cooler filled with some cold adult brews. We'll probably make a good sized dent in that this evening.

And Pa certainly is bass-ackwards regarding sales of adult beverages.

My first thought when reading the OP was what would Coach Musgjerd do if her team had hit the walk-off home run and her players high-fived the BR as she came around third base?

Think she would be running out there demanding that her player be called out because "the rules are the rules and they need to be enforced?"

What would she do if that was called against her...pitch a major fit, I'm guessing.....Sounds like a typical coach to me.





As for Steve and Big Slick...what happens when the refreshments run out?

I think I can faintly hear Dueling Banjos in the background......
(D*mn...somebody beat me to the Dueling Banjos reference!)

Oh, the Boone's will be out in full force. There is a store in this town that sells it (for those not aware, PA is the most backward state in which to purchase adult beverages).

It can't be stranger than Utah.

Yeah, sort of like when someone mentions Lone Star to me, and I'm not talking about a steak house

Not just Lone Star. Heck...Budweiser and Miller have the same effect on me!

I don't ump college (I have a 8 to 5 job), however I will weigh in. I take it this rule was put in place to speed up the game and/or sportsmanship (no other reasons for such a dumb rule). If this is the logic behind the rule then the blues blew it. By definition a walk off HR means the game is over, therefore the game cannot be delayed. I also don't see how starting to celebrate a win via a HR 0' to 60' early constitutes a lack of sportsmanship. Therefore, the blues should have told the coach that in their judgment this was only a warning and walked of the field (no protest allowed).
