    Hey, I think you have the wrong Jim Brown. That's the SNL guy.

    10-3-39, the Greek cargo ship Diamantis was torpedoed by a German
    submarine and sunk. The Germans rescued all 28 crew members
    and dropped them off at Dingle Bay Ireland. Is that the story?

    It's a score from a college football game.

    Forgive me but I'm still just a bit confused. The score was 10-3. OK.
    But the 39 is what?

    I can't remember. One RSFCker said that his team scored 10 points, the opposing team scored 3 points, and the referees scored 39 points for the opposing team. The thread was debated, and debated again, and debated more until it died. Hence the 10-3-39
    death reference.

    OK. I didn't think I was going to explain it to you, but I did. Hope you're happy.

    LOL! Sure it is. I assume it's something with sports.

    Irish Mike
    It's a score from a college football game.
    Forgive me but I'm still just a bit confused. The score was 10-3. OK. >>>>> But the 39 is what?

    Irish Mike
    The points the referees scored.
    Thanks. Two final questions; who were the teams and when was the game?

    Irish Mike
    I can't remember. One RSFCker said that his team scored 10 points, the
    opposing team scored 3 points, and the referees scored 39 points for the
    opposing team. The thread was debated, and debated again, and debated
    more until it died. Hence the 10-3-39 death reference.

    OK. I didn't think I was going to explain it to you, but I did. Hope you're happy.

    The original thread is so old that google groups no longer has it.

    The subject line was: Tech 10 - FSU 3 -Officials 39

    Referring to the 1995 Georgia Tech vs FSU game.
