Let’s end the first installment of this announcers friendly on an incongruous note, with a question about…a game that didn’t have any announcers. On the last day of the 1980 NFL regular season, NBC sports boss Don Ohlmeyer decided to spice up one of his network’s games by not having either a play-by-play commentator or an analyst, leaving viewers to follow the game solely via on-screen graphics and extra volume on the stadium’s public address system. Name either of the two division rivals that played in the “announcerless game.”
New York Jets and Miami Dolphins

1976 First round, Denton TX - The first games I attended saw Texas Tech defeat Syracuse and Michigan defeat Wichita State. It was Roy Danforth’s last game as Syracuse’s head coach. Jim Boeheim took over the next season. In the second game, Rickey Green hit a two-pointer (that’s all they had back then) from the deep corner to cap off a Michigan comeback from a double-digit deficit to defeat Wichita State, 74-73. On which university’s home court were the games played?
University of North Texas (North Texas State University)

In 2024, Caitlin Clark was named to the All-WNBA first team as a rookie. Of the 4 players who accomplished this feat since 2000 (the post-ABL allocation period), 2 of them did it in the same year, 2002. Both of these players were products of powerhouses of women’s college hoops. One of them made 8 All-WNBA teams and won 4 championships, but never won a WNBA individual award. The other made 12 All-WNBA teams, won 4 Defensive Player of the Year awards, and was a one-time MVP and one-time champ. Name these 2 legends who both debuted in 2002.
Sue Bird, Tamika Catchings
