I'm surprised to see this usage of "try"; I would have expected that, if it were used at all today, it would be an alternate name for touchdown, given its relation to the [[try]] in Rugby. [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 04:39, 5 November 2009 (UTC) :::::My first link was about subs, which is not too useful, and the NFL rules history doesn't bring up the subject. I have not found a history of college rules as such, nor even a link for current rules. Someone was saying something in a previous thread to the effect that a touchdown (which equates to a "try" in rugby) used to be fewer points than the "try" in American football. I had never heard that before, and I'm kind of skeptical. Back to the 222-0 game, I did find a ''Sports Illustrated'' article that simply parrots the play-by-play, and says Cumberland switched (for awhile) to kicking off after being scored upon, but with no explanation of when or if that approach was no longer allowed. American football was much more of a running and kicking game in those days than it is now, because the forward pass was in its infancy and was considered to be more a desparation play. So teams mostly ran, which meant it took longer to get from one of the field to the other, obviously. To push the other team back, a team might kick on 3rd, 2nd or even 1st down just to get the ball out of their territory. That's what Cumberland tried to do, and obviously it didn't work. Now I'm going to display my ignorance. These articles keep saying Tech never made a first down, because they scored on every set of downs. However, once they had reached 10 yards, wouldn't that count as a first down? It's just that they kept on running, and scored. Maybe that's a rule subtlety that I'm unfamiliar with. ←[[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] ^{''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''} [[Special:Contributions/Baseball_Bugs|carrots]]→ 04:57, 5 November 2009 (UTC) :If you want to know about when a certain rule was in place, and what the nature of rule changes in the history of American Football is, [[David M. Nelson]]'s ''The Anatomy of a Game'' is pretty much canonical.

Unfortunately, the appendix with its chronology of rules stops just before it gets to the "kicking game" section. But the amount of tinkering with the rules every year was amazing. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that at one time, the team scored upon would have the option to kick the ball instead of receiving it. Baseball has done relatively little tinkering since the 60 foot 6 inch pitching distance was established in 1893. The designated hitter was probably the only truly innovative rule change in the 116 years since then. ←[[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] ^{''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''} [[Special:Contributions/Baseball_Bugs|carrots]]→ 06:20, 5 November 2009 (UTC) :::::Well, there has been some tinkering. They lowered the height of the mound after Bob Gibson; they have been playing with Instant Replay recently, and I expect that soon just about anything outside of balls & strikes will soon be reviewable. But as already noted in the last thread where we talked about this, MOST of the minutae of tinkering in football rules is to control exactly how and in what way you are allowed to collide with someone else; they have all been basically injury control rules, at least since the last major rules on free substitution happened in the 1960's. Back to Nelson's book, worldcat lists the book availible at MANY university libraries.

Regarding baseball, nearly all the rules since the "Knickerbocker Rules" of 1845 have had to do with balancing offense and defense. Baseball used to be a high-scoring game. Not at the level of cricket, of course, which is like basketball played with bats in that sense. But over time the defense has gained certain advantages, of which the invention of the glove was only one. The rules makers changed the number of "balls" several times, and changed the nature of what a "strike" is to some extent. Once the pitchers were allowed to pitch overhand, it had a negative impact on hitting, so they repositioned the pitching distance, twice (or three times, actually). All of that stuff was prior to 1900, of course. Changes in equipment and expansion of seating (and shrinking of field size) led to changes in strategy, though with very little change to the actual rules. Following 1968, "the year of the pitcher", the rules makers didn't exactly lower the mound. What they did instead was to establish a maximum and uniform height. It was said at the time that the Dodgers pitching mound was the highest in baseball, and the Senators was the lowest. Guess which of those two teams was the more successful during that era. The DH came along over 35 years ago, and MLB still can't make up its mind about it. Instant replay, while it might affect the outcome of a call, doesn't change the basic nature of the game. Using a machine to call balls and strikes might. I think we're a long ways from that. ←[[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] ^{''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''} [[Special:Contributions/Baseball_Bugs|carrots]]→ 07:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC) :Found it!

The copy is missing some pages in this appendix, so, for example, I can't see anything from 1937-1976. The 1922 rule changes ''may have'' eliminated this rule, but the wording is hard to follow. We do know that the rule was explicitly allowed from 1903, and I see nothing to contradict that it was still in place by 1916. --[[User:Jayron32|<font style="color:#000099">Jayron</font>]]'''''[[User talk:Jayron32|<font style="color:#009900">32</font>]]''''' 06:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC) ::Beautiful! ←[[User:Baseball Bugs|Baseball Bugs]] ^{''[[User talk:Baseball Bugs|What's up, Doc?]]''} [[Special:Contributions/Baseball_Bugs|carrots]]→ 07:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC) :::Finally found a reasonly current (2008) NCAA rules book [http://www.ncaapublications.com/Uploads/PDF/Football_Rulesadc982b5-03fb-4e27-828c-c2d26b95e6c1.pdf] in which it states on pages FR-110 and FR-111, respectively, that the team scoring the touchdown or field goal must kick off.

Then, when it comes time to service the machines, you pay some company $150 to "service" the machines (they don't actually do anything - just take the money).

Thus, we have an ad campaign that gives birth to a fake singer, who has a real hit song, which was later made into a plot for a movie. --[[User:Jayron32|<font style="color:#000099">Jayron</font>]]'''''[[User talk:Jayron32|<font style="color:#009900">32</font>]]''''' 01:41, 8 November 2009 (UTC) == futurama-godfellas == In the futurama episode godfellas (season 3) when bender is drifting through space and starts playing the little piano does anyone know the name of the piano piece he is playing and who wrote it?[[User:Syme1|Syme1]] ([[User talk:Syme1|talk]]) 18:31, 7 November 2009 (UTC) :It is [[Chopin]]'s [[Polonaises Op. 40 (Chopin)|Polonaise in C Minor]]. -- [[User:Kainaw|<font color='#ff0000'>k</font><font color='#cc0033'>a</font><font color='#990066'>i</font><font color='#660099'>n</font><font color='#3300cc'>a</font><font color='#0000ff'>w</font>]][[User talk:Kainaw|&trade;]] 20:40, 7 November 2009 (UTC) :Further, the recording they used is played by [[Ken Keeler]] - who is not a professional pianist. -- [[User:Kainaw|<font color='#ff0000'>k</font><font color='#cc0033'>a</font><font color='#990066'>i</font><font color='#660099'>n</font><font color='#3300cc'>a</font><font color='#0000ff'>w</font>]][[User talk:Kainaw|&trade;]] 20:43, 7 November 2009 (UTC) == The name of this Australian band and its female singer == I'm having trouble remembering the name and the singer of a band. The singer is female, blonde hair and has a very large and noticeable red birthymark on her upper body. I believe the band is Australian and has a name beginning with 'The'. The first name of the of the leader singer was something uncommonly used as a name. I'm thinking it starts with a P though I am not quite sure. I haven't heard any of their songs or know what genre they are, though I would venture to guess they are indie/pop/rock.

The head then floated away. What was the song and artist? I don't remember any lyrics, just the strange imagery.
