Given the '80s & '90s you can understand that sediment

I'm going to have to call these games "sixing" - just because it's half of "twelving." 

"Sixing" is when the winning team has a single-digit score. 

Notable "sixing" games are in 2011 - LSU's regular season win over eventual NC Alabama 9-6, when WF played someone and it went to OT 0-0 a few years ago, Auburn and LSU played a 7-3 game in the early 2000s, and Arizona's desert swarm losing to defending NC Miami 8-7, missing a 50+ yard FG at the end.

Ohhh, maybe it should be called "nine-ing" - as that's the most points the winning team can score and it be considered as such a game.  Hmmm, thoughts?
Don't forget the infamous 6-4 Iowa / Penn State game, where literally the only points scored were field goals and safeties.

I could get behind "nineing"...

Duh.

No Covid, Nubbz, just busy.

I'm teaching a military history course I built over the summer, and it's a big time-sink on the first live run-through.

CWS might enjoy my book, but I'm sure he would find many errors in it.

Sixing or nining, not both!

I don't think I knew that you wrote a book.  But memory is unreliable.
Is it about Marines at war in Iraq?

https://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Cause-Book-John-Dyer-ebook/dp/B08KTN5HJV/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dyer+rebel&qid=1603712731&sr=8-1

I have been shamelessly promoting it here.  A friend in Boston is actually reading it and claims he likes it.  The wife said my sentences were too short for her (!!) initially but then it got more fluid.  I'm 26,000 words into Book Two now.  I'm enjoying it anyway.  I flip the script at Chancellorsville.

In 1858, a young Virginia lad heads off to Virginia Military Institute for study. He comes to the attention of an unusual professor there named Thomas Jackson. Boy meets girl, falls in love, gets engaged, but in the interim war breaks out and he is called to be junior aide de camp to now General Jackson and participates in his Valley Campaign, is injured and misses the Seven Days, but returns in time for Antietam and Fredericksburg. Intended to be in the style of Bernard Cornwell, whose writing I could only hope someday to emulate.
