    I posted the wrong video. This is the one I meant to post:

    Alternate History 📰 EAGLE IS DOWN: November 23, 1996: The Clinton Assassination and Ramifications....

    Reggie Miller cleared enough space for an easy 3pt shot while he was being chased by the entire Chicago Bulls defense. Michael Jordan is chasing him and can't keep up. The ball is still in the air when the Chicago Bulls realize that they just lost a playoff game and concede defeat.

    In '98 the Pacers were up by 3 with 9 minutes to go in Chicago. The winner of that game 7 had to face the Jazz without home court. Scotty Pippen flat out said that he didn't think the better team won during the post-game interview. We know you love 'bama. They aren't always the best. In '96...

    I'd like to see what you have to say about the mid-to-late '90s Pacers. Reggie Miller sorta redefined how an SG plays basketball. That high arcing 3pt shot with 40% accuracy was no joke because he had to shoot over his big sis Cheryl when he was growing up. She's in the Hall of Fame. You also...

    I think the '96 season was the last D-IA football season where ties didn't result in overtime. I might be off by a year.

    Minor nitpick: Arizona St. v. Northwestern would have ended with a tie instead of going to overtime during the '96 season. The sun devils are 11-0-1. The wildcats are 10-1-1.

    While there's no rule prohibiting female MLB players neither Seira nor Kouta was ever even offered a spot on a minor league roster. They probably would have said no to a minor league spot because that would have meant taking a massive pay cut.

    In '96 no baseball team was escaping the real Seira and my deceased cousin Kouta when they were batting 1-2. Seira hit .412-ish and drew walks like they were candy (she's practically impossible to strike out). Kouta hit about .465 and could aim inside-the-park home runs.

    I didn't see it but I've been told that Seira once drew a 17-pitch lead-off walk against a former MLB pitcher. Something like that breaks the opposing bullpen before her quickness was taken into account. She'd be on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd about half time and looking to steal a base before the 2nd...

    I enjoy her music. I just think that any portrayal of a historical figure doesn't do him or her justice. Audie Murphy, one of the most decorated American soliders ever, actually toned down his exploits so that they would be believable.

    Princess Nine is from 1998. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Nine The actual Seira is 6'3" and was a really skinny shortstop - about 145lbs when dripping wet - with a batting average of "yes" back in '98. Princess Nine enormously tones her down by making her expy 5'7" and 110lbs.

    For her role in "A League of Their Own"? That should be Best Supporting Actress and she should lose to Rosie O'Donnell because Rosie managed to pull off "Athletic woman larger than most men" without relying on the fact that she actually that she actually is larger than most men...

    The answer to what I mentioned wasn't to reschedule. BYU would have forfieted had they won instead of showing up becauce neither the NCAA nor CBS was willing to accomodate Mormon religious practices.

    I've never watched "Evita". Every time it came up as a suggestion of something to watch something else looked more interesting and got watched instead.

    Please include some Shakespeare. The 1996 production of Twelfth Night actually managed to pull off "opposite-sex identical twins" with unrelated people better than my twin sis and I can when she's pretending to be a guy.

    That would work as long as the game isn't scheduled for a Sunday because BYU (Mormons) never plays games on a Sunday. EDIT: I recall that BYU was once placed in a Friday-Sunday portion of the "March Madness" bracket. The question on the sports news was "What happens if BYU wins?"

    You got the Big-10 bowl bids wrong. A 10-1 Northwestern mathmatically can not be anything but the Big 10 champ and the Big-10 and Pac-10 champs always played each other in the Rose Bowl. That should be Northwestern v. Arizona St. with Brigam Young left out in the cold because they weren't part...

    Oof! I wonder how bullying NC will work out for President White. I'm guessing "not well". Nitpick: The NCAA threat is a hollow one because they're a tax-exempt non-profit. They're not part of the Federal Government. The President can't order them around "just because".
