They did, but I was referencing the one where no pitch was made** -- VTChip Feb 28, 2026 at 11:02 PM ET

I know, but what was the other one for? Losing contact with the rubber?** -- dallasvt Feb 28, 2026 at 11:03 PM ET

Someone said that, someone said replanting -- VTChip Feb 28, 2026 at 11:42 PM ET

What is the rule? Who was right, coach or the ump?** -- Jethro Tull Feb 28, 2026 at 08:09 PM ET

Dumb. We used rubber bands to keep track of downs in football. -- TomTurkey Feb 28, 2026 at 07:50 PM ET
