stack of quarters on the bar, calling scorephone every ten minutes till your last game is final.
good training ground for announcers, just look at the list of guys that started there
for college baskets, if you didnt use scorephone the only way to get the results was to wait for the morning paper. If your game was a late start you then would have to wait for the paper in two days later. hard to even imagine now
I remember dialing a # quite a few times. The one I dialed I would get pissed because typically i would let it just talk through the scores but you could say "college basketball" "ACC" "Duke" and it would go to that specific score. Sometimes it was a nightmare trying to get that automated bitch to understand what I was saying. My how far have we come.
