Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Ten
Is it me, or were these the hardest sports questions ever? Probably me, as I realize I'm not confident I can name a single current MLB manager. I used to watch 100+ Mets games a year, and I have no clue who their manager is. I only know 1 hall of fame, because I was dragged there while visiting a friend.

Clarification on #7....are these existing bowl games that could have had different names in the past or does this include past bowl games that don't exist any longer?

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Ten
So Jerloma becomes the first Swamper ever to not answer the current week's questions despite already having answered next week's questions. What a moment. Reveal coming as soon as Brent Musberger says the word "live" 157 times.
Ok good.
