Damn, Oregon looks like a bunch of bananas in those uniforms:

18,252 Well, if anything, it looks like we sold a good number of tickets, even if not many of them showed up. I'm going to see this as a good thing.

So I figured with the rain, that attendance would be low, and blue lot parking would be ample. It was and it was. But there was still this line to get in. I didn't see any of these cars get in. About half turned around and drove off somewhere else on a road I don't know about. I ended up going into the left lane, drove right past the attendants, lowered my window, flashed my permit, and yelled, "Fix this shit!" Apparently the scanners weren't working, so they just weren't letting anybody in. If we can't handle this on a low attendance game like yesterday, then we've got serious logistic problems.

Opposite this, that move that avoided the sack from the blind side was one of the best quarterback jukes I've ever seen.

For the record, I'm no monocle. At some point and for various reasons that I won't get into here, I decided that I wanted to have one luxury in my otherwise spartan life and pulled the trigger on the cheapest club seats available for what was at the time, a kinda uncomfortable amount of money. And I did sit through that monsoon against Ohio over at fouts, so I got that goin' for me.

I had one of the greatest inside voice conversations with @FirefightnRick today. We're definitely seeing the same things.

I think Rice is a damn near given, but then I recall UTEP. ODU has been stinkin' up the joint except for that win over ranked West Virginia. UTSA always seems to have our number. UAB and FAU are good. Watcha' got?

Today was hard for me to get to. I took into consideration that every game is out of pocket fort me about $380 per game. I made it happen. Sorry to have offended you. I don't belittle anybody else for their personal decisions.

I believe double digits happened in 1977ish.

We had a woman at some point in the Mac years who must've thrown thirty flags in a game. It was the one time in my life I took the time to record video footage and sent it to the conference office.

Think oversized cork pop gun.

I was really confused by that. I always thought defensive off sides was a free play. But CUSA ref'd.

.588 winning percentage including body bag games. Have any of us post Fry ever seen a coach with an overall winning record? By my count, he would have to lose his next 129 games to match the winning percentage of one of his vaunted predecessors.

Conservatively, I see 8-4. Optimistically, I see 10-2. Watcha got?

I disagree with you on many things. This particular post is not one of them. On this particular post, I am subscribing to your newsletter.

Tonight he was Brett Favre with the presence of mind to throw the ball away when necessary.

One thing I was happy to see was that there was a woman ref out there who I thought did a great job (not like the refs on the lines), who didn't feel it necessary to assert her power. I think I saw her throw one flag that was completely justified. So kudos to her for, you know, being a ref, not a political statement.

Did they build that thing with Lincoln logs and refurbished cap gun parts?

Well, I bet parking will be much easier today if nothing else. Hope I can get up 35 without incident. There seems to be an accident on that stretch every time I drive it regardless of weather. Hope to leave in about an hour.

They went under last year.

While the price seems to have inexplicably skyrocketed, allow me to introduce you to your new best friend.

If I could get either out here, my nostalgia beers would be Lucky Lager and Schaefer.

I never minded those $1.50 cans of Schlitz at Cool Beans during the starving grad school days.

Haven't been able to much drink beer this year yet (Had a couple Miller Lites and a Yeungling last game, but that was it). I prefer the crappier light beers on game day because of the length of time involved from arrival to final whistle. The good stuff doesn't do me so well for such long periods of time, and when it's still hot, just doesn't go down super well.

The rain ain't gonna keep me away, but work might. F'ing daytime kickoff on deadline weekend. This is not working out well for me.
