POV: As a pinch runner, you had scored on the Don Baylor homer described above. Now it’s the bottom of the 10th in Game 6 of the World Series, and the Sox are one strike away from breaking the curse. The count on Ray Knight is 0-2, and Mookie Wilson is waiting on deck, and you are already mad at manager John McNamara, because you think you should be on the field—in prime position to celebrate with the team—in your customary role as a late-inning defensive replacement.

The 2003-04 St. Joe’s Hawks put together an unforgettable regular season, leading to a #1 AP ranking and a top seed in the NCAA Tournament. They lost twice in the postseason—once in the A-10 Tournament (by a team now in the Big East) and once in the Elite Eight (by a Big 12 opponent). Name either team that defeated the Hawks that season.

In 1916, the Cumberland College Bulldogs allegedly hired a group of professional baseball players from nearby Nashville in an attempt to save the school’s athletic program. With the ringers in place, Cumberland won their next game against Georgia Tech 22-0. The Georgia Tech coach also coached football, and when that season came around, he refused to let Cumberland back out of their scheduled game even though their football team had disbanded before the season. Faced with a potential fine, the Cumberland school manager put together a team of his fraternity brothers, the Tech coach paid them to travel, and in the resulting game, Georgia Tech won 220-0. It was the most lopsided game in college football history, and one Cumberland player was carted off the field with a concussion three separate times. Who was Georgia Tech’s coach?
