@MichaelaB_22 Believe it or not, I had that rule come up as a crew chief in a coach-pitch state tournament one time. We had an hour-long protest where we had to call the national director to get a final ruling. It’s the craziest thing I ever saw - but we got the call right on the field.
@awfulannouncing The dramatic, would-be tying goal in the 13th minute of what was supposed to have been 10 minutes of stoppage time (and ended up being almost 19).
@mopatton_sports@MAButz@FOXNashville Braves fans were always a struggle for me growing up in Fairview. My entire family is originally from the MO Bootheel, so there was never a question where the allegiance would lie.
@MAButz@mopatton_sports@FOXNashville ATL is definitely the preferred team in Nashville. I was just commenting on the “all of TN” in your previous post. I’d be pretty PO’d in Memphis if they were showing Braves/Phils over Cards/Cubs. Several small town stations have Cards affiliates over here.
@MAButz@mopatton_sports@FOXNashville Not West TN. Cards/Cubs is the right call on this end of the state. I’d agree that the Braves have a bigger following in Middle TN, but many more Cards fans from Jackson west.
@RepFaison Using your logic, the districts should be drawn within as compact a geography as possible. But…that wouldn’t serve your pedo master’s political purpose of disenfranchisement of anybody who might dare cross him. It’s cowardly at its very best.
@RepFaison So the people of Westwood (a low income area in Memphis) share ideas about economics with the people of Spring Hill? The people of Orange Mound share those with people in Brentwood. Lynchburg-Collierville? Give us a break with the gaslighting. Your Daddy Donald has that covered.
@RepFaison In how many other states are the districts drawn to essentially eliminate the possibility that the state’s two largest cities are represented by an individual from outside those cities? R’s can’t win in those two cities, so they made damned sure they stacked the deck…COWARDS.
@KingCapece If you honestly believe that Andy Ogles gives two shits about anybody in Westwood; or that Brent Taylor is going to stand up for anyone in Berclair or that David Kustoff is going to make Orange Mound a priority…then you must believe in the tooth fairy, also.
@TheGillReport@PhilNvestigates Fun fact: Anybody who knows Shelby knows that the part in 7 that extended to Williamson was suburban Memphis - which was/is largely R. The northern part of Shelby in 8 is Millington and Shelby Forest, also largely R. 9 was primarily Memphis.
Nice try though…
@SenBrentTaylor @bdriesdm Also, please stop the silly #makememphismatter bs. Anybody with a sliver of a functioning brain knows that the only thing you’re interested in is making Brent Taylor matter.
@SenBrentTaylor @bdriesdm Fixed it for you: We passed a law so blatantly authoritarian that we had to pass another law to make sure nobody could, in an official capacity, sue us for doing so.
That’s not “outsmarting” anybody, it’s admitting that what you did doesn’t pass the smell test of legality.
@johnvarlas If you truly have the better team, force them out of the stall. On-ball pressure forces mistakes against inferior teams. (Making an assumption, of course that the stalling team was inferior.)
I saw this work 30+ yrs ago - team with a losing record vs the #1 team in the state.
@sandra_j_hughes@VandyWBB Umm…how is the set up bad for one team and not both? Also, already normalized by letting the head coach roam the sideline. Up until a few years ago they were confined to the baseline.
@johnvarlas Didn’t someone play two games in one day during the Hall of Champions period? Also, they play three or four days in a row at tournaments. Bigger concern…how to fit that schedule in while getting classroom time caught back up. Testing schedules won’t change.
