Don't answer if it's too much of a clue, but I assume Seinfeld has 4 main characters and that other show has 6?
Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Swamper Bowl V or VI or Something
Just checking, but for #3, we're looking at movies RELEASED in 1990, with the Oscars handed out that following March of 1991, right?
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Swamper Bowl V or VI or Something
Yes, though there's no FCS schools in Indiana that don't also play D-1 basketball also.

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Swamper Bowl V or VI or Something
Actually, I'm pretty sure not every school on the list has a FBS/FCS football team so it's better to think in terms of basketball, I guess.

There's one school for Indiana that would be a very low score but I just can't remember the mascot. Go with that one.

I would say there are two. And three others that will probably be low.

Google only returns one main result for each language, but there are alternates in small print underneath for some of them. I'm prepared to accept anything that comes up, although everybody has given me the exact one so far.Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 8:26 am On #5, is there a difference between the "formal" and "informal" versions of "Hello"?
