Through 21 November 2011:
Spurs won their second game. Woohoo!
I think I’m gonna go back to the 2018-19 Champions League replay with Derby County and Nottingham Forest.
Stay tuned!

1971: Giants Replay, Game 36
2011-12: Spurs Replay
Fifty and A Hundred
It just occurred to me that my two current Giants season replays are 1971 and 1921.
Fifty and one hundred years ago, and 50 years apart.
Much like the 1967 and 1917 replays, one of which I had finished (1967) and the other (1917), well, I still have over 1200 games to go…
But I think it’s possible to finish one or maybe both ’71 and ’21 replays by year’s end, IF I commit to playing both more often.
We’ll see how it goes.
Stay tuned!
1971: Giants Replay, Game 35
1978, er, 1988: Giants, er, Mets Replay
I was about to start a 4th full season team replay, with the 1978 SF Giants, until I realized that I had already started a 1977 SF Giants replay. That’s too close, even for me.
What to do, what to do.
And then I remember my original plan of re-replaying my first ever sports replay, with the 1988 New York Mets.
Stay tuned!
