no. those warlords want more duffel bags full of CIA money so they don’t shoot at us. but if we didn’t pay em, instead of standing by idly and doing nothing, they would shoot at us.
there isn’t a return because anything we or the afghans do build, it gets blown up by insurgents. it’s a vicious cycle.

Could be worse Butters. You could be playing Tennessee Tech and have the off chance that Gus Johnson might be announcing your game. I put in a tweet to Ken Fang to see if we can get the BTN announcer pairings before the weekend starts. Need to know if I have to disconnect my center channel speaker when watching the Hawkeyes.
Please let it be Wayne Larrivee or Tom Hamilton. Anyone but Johnson or Brennaman and I’ll be happy.

August 31st, 2011 at 9:22 AM
So what’s everyone plan for Saturday?
I’ll wake up early, go shopping for some wings, pizza, snacks and beer, put the wings in a crockpot, and watch pre-game until noon kickoff. Then I’ll plop on the couch and crack my first beer.

August 31st, 2011 at 9:22 AM
And I’ll get this out here now so we can discuss the actual game in Yardwork…
The umpiring crew sucked at Fenway last night. Mo Rivera got calls in the 9th that clearly weren’t strikes. CC got squeezed. So did Lackey. Lackey also should have been ejected for drilling Cervelli. Hopefully they have a better home plate umpire tonight because that was brutal.
There. Unbiased.

I don’t like paying him $4.25M for the first 3 years (more than Giroux), but the last 3 could be a steal.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been home on the weekends much this summer, so I’ll have to get a little yard work done on Saturday morning. Hitting the store Friday night for booze and food. Hitting the couch at 2:30 (Go Irish!) and may not leave all day unless the wife requests to go out to watch GA/Boise, LSU/OR.
I’m willing to accept any and all good receipes that anyone has to offer.

Non-Flyer fan obviously but I like the extension. Even the first couple years. They bought a lot of his UFA years at a really cheap price. However, the fans are going to hate Danny Briere who is making the same cap hit as a Jonathan Toews and isn’t nearly the player.
Looking at their roster for 2012-13 is not so great. 16 roster players for $51M and change. That Timonen contract is just awful. And having a cap hit of nearly $5M on Pronger until he’s 43 (!!) is outrageous. I know the salary dips under $1M a year in the last two years but still. That’s awful.
I won’t even get started on Breezy’s contract.

So…I got offered to move to San Francisco a few days ago, and been mulling it over. No current job or girlfriend or anything really keeping me here, change of scenery would be great, would be staying with my current roommate and a friend from HS.
Only real snag at this point that I see is cost of living going up and just moving to a place that I’ve never even visited before (to be fair, I’ve already done that once by moving to Atlanta – that only lasted for about a year).
Would be moving in November and the idea of avoiding another Minnesota winter sounds awesome. Thoughts?

Then I get to goto Town Hall for th e Minny/USC game (and Pint Club), go somewhere for dinner before the night games and then find an establishment that’ll have both games on and good beer on tap. I’m thinking Alary’s.

If there’s a really big salary jump and it’s a good opportunity for you career-wise, I say go for it.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:35 AM
I thought about it, but decided against it for 2 reasons. 1.) the chili affect on me and fellow tailgaters and the lack of actual bathrooms and 2.) it’s supposed to be 94* and I think chili may be a bit much.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:36 AM
Frisco is cool. I’ve been there 4 or 5 times. Always impressed. I get the cost of living issue, but I’d imagine you’d be getting paid more while there, right? If you’ve got no ties, you might as well go. You can always move back if you don’t like it.

Unless the cost of living thing will make it a real hardship, I’d go for it. If you need to get a temp job while you look for something career wise, you can do it in SF without wasting half your money on gas going to and from work. (assuming you are moving into the city proper)

That Timonen contract is just awful.
Only $3M in real dollars next year, could see him walking away and returning to Europe. Pronger’s deal is going to be an albatross, lot of miles on those tires.
The problem I have with the first 3 years on the JVR extension is my belief that they could have paid him less per year on a 3 year deal. He’s anything by a finished product and they will have some younger players (Vorachek, Simmonds and possible Schenn) in need of extensions within that 3 year window.

My plan for Saturday is to wake up around 8 and make a hearty breakfast. Go for a quick bike ride so I can be back to catch the final hour of Gameday/Big Ten Tailgate (mostly to see what EA is wearing and the always enjoyable Jenn Brown sighting). Pop on the Hawkeye game at 11 with just snacks and finger food.
Nap through the 2:30 games followed by waking up around 4:30-5ish. Got some people coming over for the night games and we’re making ribs, wings, mac n cheese, beans and the ever popular vodka logged watermelon.

I like Mississippi State @ -27.5 over Memphis. I think Florida International is -14 over North Texas. That has to be the most points that school has ever been favored by in the history of the program. I might go with North Texas there.

Arkbadger – I don’t have a wing recipe. I’ll be with a few buddies, one of whom is an excellent cook and will have his special recipe. I can ask him for it and email you. If I had a choice, I’d just squeeze a bunch of BBQ sauce and hot sauce into the crockpot and toss in the wings on low heat for 2+ hours.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:47 AM
Yeah, if he was already throwing off the mound they might try and rush him into a rehab start before the minor league season is done. But I think it’s likely at this point, if he pitches again in 2011, it’s strictly bullpen.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:47 AM
It makes for good imitation BBQ.
I use pork shoulder in a crock pot to make tacos al pastor. Now that shit is good.

They bought out some of his UFA years. I’m fine with the contract and his emergence in the playoffs made it much easier to part with Jeff Carter, IMO.
And I wouldn’t dither too much over how the Flyers manage their cap. This past summer, they just traded the two guys who have been the face of the franchise since the lockout. What makes you think Holmgren will hesitate on pulling the trigger on anyone else?
August 31st, 2011 at 9:47 AM

JVR and Giroux (and probably Simmonds) are going to have to eat the hard minutes that Carter and Richards played. I think we are going to see offensive regression for the two younguns.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:51 AM
I was going for something easy… there are some pretty decent crock pot pulled pork recipes. It obviously can’t compare to a smoker but who has a portable smoker and 8+ hours of time on their hands during a tailgate? Make up some delicious tangy coleslaw to put on top of the pulled pork.

Alternately, they will also be taking up Richards and Carters PP minutes.
Simmonds is going to provide the jam on the wing that they kind of missed all of last year.

I think Memphis laid down and died a few games last year. Mississippi St. wants to get up big and stay up big so they can pull their starters (week 2 @ Auburn). So I could see State jumping out to a huge lead early and Memphis not bothering to try and come back.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:57 AM
Looks fun, but they couldn’t get BU or BC? Seems odd to have games at Fenway, but none of the major Boston teams.

Speaking of dips. You guys grill bacon wrapped jalapenos with sour cream in them? Some people call those poppers, i think?
Do the same thing (or just grill/cook the bacon and japs separately), then throw that shit in the blender. Best dip of all time.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:58 AM
oh it is, and like jck said, the ladies love it. you can usually tell how much vodka to use, but I don’t think there is really a correct amount. I usually put it in a couple of those rubbermade containers and put probably a couple shots in each one, don’t really want to overdue it.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:58 AM

From what I’ve read he’s making the big team.
Alternately, they will also be taking up Richards and Carters PP minutes.
Perhaps more minutes for JVR, but Giroux was playing a fair amount of PP time. Alternatively, they’ll be facing better PKers on PP1 vs. PP2.

Not sure. He probably has the talent to stick…..just maybe not a perfect role.
One need that he definitely answers is that, if the Flyers are going with Briere and Giroux down the middle as their first two centers, they are not going to match up well with the Malkins and Lecavalier’s of the Eastern Conference. Maybe Schenn plays a “Jordan Staal” type of role?

I honestly have no clue. UGA is easily the biggest team Boise has ever played. The stating center for boise is 5-11, 288 pounds (seriously). The 1st and 2nd string NT for UGA are 6-5, 350. Having said that, the Boise DL shit all over VT’s OL last year, and the next time UGA blocks a team of note will be the first in a long time. Then you have Crowell getting the bulk of the carries, and while everyone raves about him, no one actually knows outside of the team as practices are closed off. Boise starts 16 seniors, including 10 on defense. That’s impressive.
But with all of that, I still think UGA should win. They are bigger and faster at pretty much every single position, but it also wouldn’t surprise me to see Boise win by 7-10.
Going. We have half of a row of seats (12) for the game, so I pity any Boise fans that sit near us.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:10 AM

how short are that boise center’s arms? is he a waist bender or a knee bender? I think a 6.5 NT is going to have a hard time staying low, although I imagine 350 is tough to push anywhere.

He left for Texas, but the one thing Boise has done better than probably any program in the nation is replace coaches with ones already in the system. They’ve done it since Hawkins left and haven’t skipped a beat. The lack of WRs could cost Boise, though. They are breaking in a new starting (freshman) WR and they don’t have Pettis or Young, two NFL receivers.

Posada sucks. Jeter still has value. I don’t understand why Jeter wasn’t DHing and Nunez playing short. Nunez could have gotten to that ball in the 4th or 5th that allowed a run to score.
Posada can’t hit or field. Get him out of the lineup. Fucking A, call up Montero tomorrow Cashman. It’s September 1st.

I like being shitbagged at concerts and opening day.
Dude, who do you follow?
August 31st, 2011 at 10:40 AM
You go in very drunk, so that in the 4th quarter you’re still kind of drunk.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:41 AM
Silly rabbit. I’ll remember the goings on, but I also have that sum’bitch set for Tivo as well. The Ga Dome is selling booze through halftime, so you can be damn sure I’m taking advantage of beer at a college game. This is one of two games I’m going to, so having an epic time is a must.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:41 AM
I can be a little of an obnoxious drunk in public/people I’ll never see again, but I’ve never done it at a sporting event. Been the guy next to or in front of the obnoxious drunk I’ll never see again at a sporting event though, and that shit gets old quick.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:42 AM
CFB games I’m more apt to head in drunk (and at MLB games it’s just the American way)…Lambeau however I like to get a buzz on but that’s it, no need to go overboard in that mecca of sports
August 31st, 2011 at 10:42 AM
I passed out in my seats two years in a row at the Royals home opener…but we don’t really go for the baseball anyway. The party is the 6 hour pre gamer that we have. If I make it in to the stadium, I won.

It’s easier for me to flirt with the female hockey fans and female baseball fans at games if I’m drunk. Football games I’m drunk so I can be a disorderly meathead and yell terrible things at Aaron Rodgers/insert Buckeye/Gopher/Cyclone here.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Err.. but you dont have to follow them
August 31st, 2011 at 10:43 AM
How awesome is it that the Dome is selling beer? If UGA plays well that place is going to be a fucking zoo.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:44 AM
The thing about twitter, you have full control of who you want to read from or about. If that’s who you’re following, then you can’t complain about it.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:44 AM
I dunno, I like to remember my team’s games, especially if I shelled out the dough to see it in person. Like to be able to put it in the memory bank.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:45 AM
Are people incapable of being wasted while paying attention to the game? Bunch of bitches up North, I see.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:45 AM
That was one great thing at The U, and still is. Beer sold at every home game. Had a lot of fun times at the old OB drunk in the student section.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Drinking before an event is one thing. It’s possible to consume alcohol before an event and still be in control of one’s faculties.
Black out drinking before an event is just silly and wasteful.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:46 AM
I’m shocked and for some reason extremely happy that this was included.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:46 AM
I wish Kinnick sold beer…

Song of the summer was a legitimate three way tie between I’m On One, Beautiful People, and Party Rockin. TBL, you seriously need to stop being old, brah.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:47 AM
There are some games I’d like to erase from my memory bank
/Iowa 6-4 is near the top of the list
August 31st, 2011 at 10:49 AM
Do we have different definitions of ‘drunk’ or something? There’s no way you can properly remember a game if you are ‘drunk’. A little tipsy, of course.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:49 AM
There are going to be some red pants with some puke on them about the 3rd quarter.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:50 AM
The hell? I’ve been d-runk at football games and I still remember specific plays.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:51 AM
I thought that’s what a flask was for
August 31st, 2011 at 10:56 AM
I have to be pretty sloppy not to remember a game. Like really bad blackout level. I can still remember exactly the Willis McGahee screen pass in 2002 against FSU and I was beyond shitfaced that game.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Exactly. This is what we learn in college: How to get obliterated and still know the down and distance.
/SEC football: FEEL THE EXCITEMENT!!
August 31st, 2011 at 10:57 AM
I can see remembering moments. But Im always pissed at myself when I end up drinking too much and cant remember much detail about how the game progressed.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:57 AM
Exactly. I’m not talking pass-out drunk, because obviously passing out means you aren’t seeing anything, but 12-deep and a few shots? Yes please.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:59 AM
I caught a replay of Wisconsin-Northwestern from last season and realized I didn’t recall most of the first quarter despite being assured that we were there for kickoff…2:30 start times but still getting downtown like you would for an 11:00 game for the win
August 31st, 2011 at 11:01 AM
I can see this for baseball games because a series of small events can lead to run scoring. Keeping score helps. I stopped doing this for a long time, but picked it back up again a couple of years ago.
Football and hockey, I have little trouble remembering the big moments if I’ve been drinking, for whatever reason. Probably because, the scoring events, when they happen, are celebrated like New Year’s Eve.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:01 AM
Stop being old and step away from the computer for more than just a starbucks run and basketball league.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:01 AM
Our friends are getting downtown on Sat at like 8 in the morning. Fuck that noise. I’m not leaving my place until 11:30 and that’s to eat before pounding booze. I figure I’ll have 6 hours or so to drink and that’s good enough for me.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:04 AM
I can see that, it just doesn’t happen to me very often. Sometimes small details are missed but unless we were playing some scrub school I never got past the point of rememebering.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:04 AM
Speaking of booze and the Georgia Dome, I tried to drink myself into forgetting the 2006 Peach Bowl against LSU, but alas I could not.
August 31st, 2011 at 11:05 AM
fuck the Georgia Dome.
