149.0. "Looking for 1988 Sports File" by EARRTH::GROVES () Wed Feb 07 1990 17:06

    
      Is the SPORTS notes file before the one that that is on ASABET::
    named SPORTS_OLD available ? The reason I ask is I remember a quiz
    for umpires was on SPORTS in 1988. I'm from the Worcester area and
    the little league in my town has asked me to find some high school
    boys intersted in umpiring. I would like to give the boys the quiz
    just to see what rules they know just for my own information.
    If anyone has a quiz or know where I can find one, either reply
    or send me mail. If you have a hard copy of a test or quiz, I'm
    located at:

    Syracuse.As for UCONN,they will be a very good team.

    Don't worry about it O_J.  JoJ can rarely remember who he's
    rooting for (the little vane) much less recite the Hall's
    entire roster (from memory now, don't cheat).  ;^)

    Hey O_J....Syracuse really clobbered the no-names, huh??? Sheer luck at
    the buzzer gave Sorry_Excuse the tainted victory.
    
    re: Claywad
    
    Come up with something original for a change...oh, I forgot, you went
    to Alabama so we'll all ignore your mindless ramblings. We don't expect
    any more from a 'Bama Boy.
149.15BAUCIS::SAPPGet the point??Good,let's dance!Fri Mar 02 1990 00:358
    Yeah,the only reason it was close was `cause SU wanted to give Seton
    Hall fans something exciting to watch.....afterall,whaen was the last
    time Seton Hall beat Syracuse??
    
    
    
    `Nuff said,
