Eleven

Cook also is missing two starting tackles; it's not just Allen.

Both starting tackles out shows on the first series.

I really don't like splitting up the Tuch/Doan/Thompson line, but a Benson/Kozak/Östlund line is a little too inexperienced. It makes sense to put Thompson with a couple of new guys and Tuch with a couple of them.

It was on Ch. 4. All Bandits games will be on Ch. 4 or CW23 unless televised nationally.

4) This game was so bad that I am on Amtrak with nothing else to do and still turned it off.

Frankly, I hope that Thompson does it again in the second and again in the third. Just ragdoll him all night. And again next time.

All right Tage! And I don't care about the tradeoff.

Who cares about ESPN? I'd put as much faith in its hockey reporting as I would in the reporting of Rodong Sinmun.

Because I care whether Inky cares.

Great pass from Timmins.

The Austin Strand deal doesn't count?

Can you PLEASE get rid of that apostrophe? It's killing me.

Everyone would be wise to keep this in mind at the trade deadline.

In no universe does it make sense to break up Thompson, Tuch, and Doan right now.

It's protected.

That's fine.

They were plastic.

Last year, we received our gravy boats upon entry. (And yes, people did turn them into drinking vessels.)

Indeed. I'm not much of a college football person, but I was on the scrolling seat myself.

New York State's version of SMU (rich but not smart enough to get into a good state school) is really killing it against Notre Dame, yeah?

Can you send me texts? I don't want to deal with circling that corner for parking after Mass if you all have left for the giveaway. (And I would leave for it!)

I was there for the gravy boats. They were pretty cool. Got one, my friends who came with me expressly for that purpose also got them. I gave mine away a few minutes after the game to a couple who really wanted one; I have no need for ephemera at this point of my life and they really wanted it.

Hey folks--what time do you think you're departing Union Pub for the arena? I think the earliest I can get there, and this assumes completely ideal parking and traffic, would be around 1215.

This is why everyone needs to chill after one loss to one awful team. You wouldn't have panicked in 2006, and you should not now.

I *might* be able to make it around noon.
