College Football - Championship Week

[Derwood]

The best "NY Style" pizza in State College is at Dino's out at the mall.

 

Otherwise I prefer Hiway Pizza to anything else.

 

Never been to Dino's... I live in Houserville so it shouldn't be hard for me to shoot over there and try it. You ever go to the buffet at Hi-Way Pizza? It's awesome... I love buffalo chicken pizza. When I win a gift card for stuff at Dante's Restaurants (won playing poker), I usually just end up using it on a Hi-Way pizza buffet.

 

speaking of poker, I played a free tourney at Quaker Steak and Lube last Thursday (thanksgiving). Lots of fun. I came in like 19th out of 50 or so. Top prize was a seat in the QWK Rock tourney (whose winner gets a seat at an Atlantic City tourney). They do free hold em' every Monday and Thursday night. Cheap beer specials too (pints of Yuengling for $2)

 

I've been to a couple of them, and I did want to go on Thanksgiving since I was stuck in town working, but my shift started at 9:30, so I couldn't play. Some of the people there are hilariously bad. I saw somebody call an all-in with 54 on a flop of AAQ. Anyway, PM me sometime if you're going and if I'm going to be there, I'll look for you.

 

will do. I'm pretty limited to when i can play since i'm home with the kids during the week, but if they play the week between Xmas and New years, I'll be there.

Bring the kids! Outside of Sesame Place, you can't do any better for family fun than taking them to a bar where people are drinking, smoking and playing cards!

Because of some sort of Money dispute our local cable company may be losing ABC on Friday. I will be very sad if I have to miss the games on Sat. Somehow I think that they will be on but my next cable bill is going to be $20 more.

Still no word on who will start at QB for UCLA. I'm sure Pete Carroll is completely fooled by this Bill Belichick-like strategic move from Karl Dorrell. :roll:

looks like my wife may be working from home during December, opening the possibility for me to go play every Monday night. I'll let you know

Taking the day off Saturday to watch my first Husker game of the year. Seems like forever since we've been to the Big 12 championship (7 years.) Hopefully NU-OK will be a classic where we come out on the right side of the ledger.

That sucks. I remember when our local stations were up in the air with the cable company.

Well it's about time this game was played! I really miss the option game battle they used to have.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Sigh...Pat Cowan to start on Saturday for UCLA. It's like Karl Dorrell is acting like his job isn't on the line...I sure hope it is. :(

 

Sorry Michigan/Florida fans!

Stewie Mandel makes good on his promise:

 

On June 28, 2006, Stewart Mandel, a writer for (SI), listed Georgia Tech's Head Football Chan Gailey, for the second year in a row, as one of the top three worst coaches in the NCAA, stating "If Tech wins its division, he's off the list and a round of hot dogs are on me."

 

This Friday, December 1 at 11:00 AM, Mandel will be on site at The Varsity's downtown location off of North Avenue, where the first 600 Tech Fans will receive a ticket for a free hot dog, courtesy of SI.com. Make sure to come and be a party of this celebration!

 

Of course, the season could fall apart on Saturday with a loss in the Championship Game.

 

Or, we could be playing in the Orange Bowl. I haven't felt this anxious about a Tech game since the 98 Georgia game (Tech won at 0:00 with a field goal).

There HAS to be a better QB than Reggie Ball on that team. There just has to be.

 

If they'd played someone competent, they'd probably have beaten ND and Georgia and be right in the 1-loss mix.

I'm working in the morning and then getting family pictures at 2pm, so not sure how much football i'll see Saturday

[CubinNY]

My wife is going ape crazy over the USM/Houston game right now.

 

Two beers and I'm starting to get worried about her.

 

"Break his arm"

 

"Kill him"

 

Anyway go USM.

 

If they win her friends come to Memphis for the New Years.

[TruffleShuffle]

I'm going to try to watch some of the Oregon St-Hawai'i game while at work tomorrow night. Should be quite the offensive explosion.

Jevan Snead is transferring from Texas.

[soccer10k]

Jevan Snead is transferring from Texas.

 

This isn't really surprising. Both he and McCoy are freshman and with Mack Brown choosing McCoy combined with McCoy playing well, Snead realized he wasn't going to play.

 

Should be interesting to see where he transfers to.

Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plains

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Certainly OU looks like a leading candidate.

 

Oh, and: http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/11/nice-buttkicking.html

[Mark_R]

Goooo USC! Win by more than 12 (but don't you two teams combine for more than 48 you hear?)

 

UCLA's O should help take care of that last nugget :lol:

 

Don't let me down raisin's alma mater.

If USC and Flordia lose, would that guarantee a Michigan-OSU rematch in the NC?

I'll do you one better. If USC loses it would guarantee the rematch. It shouldn't but it would.

ND should leapfrog eight teams and get it. I'm just kidding, but I can't say I agree. why shouldn't it?

I'm thinking he's saying that Florida would have a legitimate case to be in the NC if they win today, but that they won't probably have a chance to pass Michigan whatever they do. I think Michigan is better, but I can see how some people would think that Florida was better.

can't say I agree. it should the two best teams. right now, the three best teams in the country by far are USC, UM, and OSU. all three would crush Florida. if USC loses to UCLA, it shows me they are not better than UM.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

It'd be really cool if Karl Dorrell's job was on the line, but seeing the way he's been acting, he obviously knows he'll return next season. :(
