Eleven

This is horrible, this idea.

Wish I could go, but I'm going ice fishing and then to a nickelback concert.

Not really an ND fan. VERY casual. If they're on and they're not playing a school I have ties to, I'll probably root for them. I couldn't name a single player. Just keeping the record straight. I was pretty surprised that the game last night opened up after I went to bed.

They play a tougher schedule than any team in a conference, most years. That includes Michigan, specifically, 15 of the last 20 seasons. Georgia's tough schedule this year included Vanderbilt AND Tennessee, a usually bad Kentucky, an unusually bad Florida, Missouri, Charleston Southern, Birmingham, Ga Tech, and South Carolina. Come on. (And that's not accounting for Auburn being in a program slump.) Georgia has played two teams of note and lost to one of them. EDIT: Three, with one loss. I'll give you Clemson.

In the other thread, @Brawndo indicated that he expects Quinn to play tomorrow night and that this is just some procedural mumbo-jumbo.

I put this in the COVID list thread, but why not just give him a couple of games in Buffalo? Is there an ELC issue?

I'm reading Quinn to the taxi squad? Why not Quinn into the Sabres lineup?

I was at a game where the Rags did this against the Sabres. I hope Ullmark likes New York System and coffee milk.

Two shutouts in two days. This trade is starting to look very good.

You're probably right on all three points. The Chinese team couldn't pay its coaches a few years ago, the entire thing is shady. But it is the political authorities I was referring to. He puts a toe out of line, he's in Siberia or worse.

But Lillian cannot use the phone.

There probably aren't fewer "rules" given that the teams are in, you know, Russia, China, etc.

It really sux when someone so talented goes off the rails. Evander Kane, Antonio Brown, Brian Spencer, Amy Winehouse, whatever.

We'll be over Omicron by then, but the Upsilon variant will be spiking.

Droppin' this here:

His ophthalmologist just dilates him before every game. That's Paris Hilton's friend, right?

My first complaint in this thread, from over thirteen years ago: My complaint? Seems like life was simpler then.

The Sabres are playing hockey again? Is this like the third game in as many weeks? It's turned into the NFL.

I have been to two: UB vs. Connecticut in Toronto, and Syracuse vs. Florida State. The atmosphere at the "International Bowl" was horrible, because (1) Skydome is sterile, (2) those are not football schools, and (3) there were about 15,000 people in attendance. The atmosphere at the Syracuse game was great, except it was about 105 degrees inside a dome named after the person who freaking invented air conditioning. SU needs to pull it together.

You've seen video of Bills tailgates, right? This is one of the reasons.

It might not be. Alcohol prices at North American sports venues are ridiculous. I paid $32 for two 16-oz beers (and not microbrews, either) at PNC Park (baseball stadium in Pittsburgh) last May. My friend and I went back for Jack-and-Cokes and that was nearly 50. The three tickets that his wife bought for us were about the same amount of the total. These venues make their money on food and drink, not on tickets. In 2011--I think? I bought one, ONE beer in Toronto at a Sabres game there. $16 (probably $14-15 American at the time) for a regular 12oz (335ml) beer. I have not bought a beer at a Bills game in ages, but I'd bet it's over $10 for just a "regular," i.e. Bud Light or something, 12oz can. Oh--and a beer at Citi Field, another baseball stadium where the NY Mets play, set me back about 15. 2018 I think for that one.

Cool I'm gonna try to listen.

What's the radio station that carries Amerks games?
