21.. Frank Robinson, Cleveland Indians

22.. Duke, Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State, Clemson, Boston College, Miami, Florida State, Wake Forest

23.. The Madrid Protocol allows a company to seek trademark protection in all 26 countries with one application. But I don’t remember what it forbids.

25.. Lloyd Bentsen – If Danny boy had any quick wits he should have responded: “In part you are correct. I am not a philandering playboy.”

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

22. Duke, Virginia, NC State, North Carolina, Miami, Wake Forest, Clemson? I think there are probably 7, as it is one of two divisions in a 14 team league. Notre Dame is not a full member and probably isn't in a division. Louisville is one I'm sure isn't coastal, I would think not Georgia Tech either. Otherwise, I'm really not sure, virtually all the teams are - duh - in coastal states.

 

[Bigboote]

14..I suspect this isn't what you're looking for, but in "Some rival" or "The Americans have stolen my true love away." I think they're related to "Daisy, Daisy" too. There's a verse:

Come all you pretty maidens wherever you be
Don't settle your mind on yon sycamore tree;
For the leaves they will wither and the branches will die
And you'll be forsaken, you will know not not for why

17..Binyamin Netanyahu

20..Inability to sleep a normal night when other people do

21..Frank Robinson -- Indians?

24..Triassic, Mesozoic

25..Lloyd Bentsen during the VP debate in 1988.

Go ahead, be brilliant. No one will object.

Acc Coastal:

Duke, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami, Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh.

20. Jet lag
21. Frank Robinson, Cleveland Indians
22. North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest, NC State, Clemson, Maryland, Virginia, Syracuse, Boston College, Miami, Florida State

[KnightBridgeAZ]

Acc Coastal:

Duke, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami, Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh.

Acc Atlantic: FSU, Clemson, NC State, Wake Forest, Louisville, Boston College, Syracuse.

I assume you would know, which leads me to ask, at least rhetorically, exactly how they were determined? Look strange to me.

25.. Lloyd Bentsen – If Danny boy had any quick wits he should have responded: “In part you are correct. I am not a philandering playboy.”

25..Or "I am more than ashes and bones".

I assume you would know, which leads me to ask, at least rhetorically, exactly how they were determined? Look strange to me.

I know they were engineered so that Miami and FSU would be in opposite divisions.

The NC and Va. rivalries were also taken into consideration I believe, but the joke has generally been that no one knows who is in which division, because no one ever had to know.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

If it were me I'd divide the acc

South:
FSU
Miami
Georgia Tech
Clemson
NC state
UNC
Wake

North
Duke
Virginia
Virginia tech
Louisville
Pitt
Syracuse
Boston College

That makes a whole lot more sense for building a compelling football league and tv schedule.

I think the Northern Schools also wanted games vs Florida teams annually.

 

[wire chief]

14..K9 educates me. Good tune. Husky rob with the answer I expected. Big (the obscure) reaches into that portion of his mind that holds sea shanties. Now I looked up your verse, but came up only with "shady tree'. However, it seems a genre that has variations, so I'll trust your erudition here. even though you have established yourself as the purveyor of " something like" responses.

15..Eleven, says VAUC, and who would know better than he who was one of the 9%.

16..K9 is just too, too, too accurate.

17..Three others join Big about the Israeli guy.

18..Chj leads 4 with Dick Tracey. Everyone else wisely skips the comics.

19..VAUC again is a master of %ages.

20..Bereft of smooth zzzzzzzzzzz's, they are, they are.

21..Played for the Orioles; managed the Indians.

22..Some of you must think the ACC has 20 teams, or did you think the other division has only 6? Talk about running off at the
typewriter. Sheesh. Anyway, even though he's not an ACC guy, Game is being trusted here.

23..Mining and drilling is a no-no in Antarctica.

24..Husky and Big dwell in the deepest of past.

25..And didn't he also have trouble spelling "potato"?

Pretty good results, so you've earned another test. Brace yourself.

Wire Chief--Did you forget . . .

21. . . . that he played for the Reds before he played for the Orioles? He won the NL MVP for the Reds in 1961, an accomplishment that was overshadowed by the famous HR battle between Mantle and Maris. His best year came for the Reds the following year, batting .342, 134 R, 39 HR, 136 RBI. Sure, he won the AL MVP award (and is still the only player to win the MVP in both the NL and AL) and a Triple Crown in 1966 while playing for the Orioles, but the biggest blemish on his career came for the Orioles when he lost to my Miracle Mets in the 1969 World Series.

Sheesh...next you'll be telling me that I neglected his Little League records.
