I have no doubt that they're good, and can care less about the spread, but I truly believe OU will win by at least two TD's.......BTW, it's a pleasure to talk to a BYU fan that has some sense...Good luck with your remaining games..

Look for "private clubs". That is Utahn for Bar. I remember one called Port o Call right downtown, but that was 10 years ago when I lived out there. They had full bars, hundreds of TV's, three floors, pool, darts, smoking and every sports pack their is.

Don't worry to much about the membership. Go in looking confused and say loudly to the greater you are from out of town and want to watch a game. If you are polite and stall you will get a sponsorship from one of the regular patrons (allowing you in as a guest). Good etiquette would buy them a beer.

Best Pizza I ever had is at the Pie. Half a block west of the U, right on the fault line under ground. Good food but they only have a tv or two. Not for game night but HIGHLY recommended, unless you have heart disease.

Now you got me all nostalgic...

I give them about a 20% chance. 60% chance of losing a close one. 5-0 vs the PAC 10 is one thing, but without USC on the list of teams beat that doesn't mean so much. This is a chance for the MWC to really turn some heads.

I have always had a good experience with the LSU fanbase. They are some cocky suckers but I have never heard of them shooting anyone. Even when we stomped that a$$ in the GA Dome!

GO DAWGS!

Well, I've always gone to Skybox at the gateway mall, but I haven't exactly tried many other places around the convention center. There's a sweet place by University of Utah called The Pie! Its worth going out of your way to eat there, but isn't designed solely as a sports bar (I think they reserve one day a week to live music). Ben might know better than me, I'm not from Utah and don't know SLC as well as someone who goes to the school up north.

Also a good point.

The ACC looked a little better this weekend, going 6-0 OOC. The bad news is the ACC will spend the rest of the season trying to dig their reputation out of a ditch after a pathetic start.

Unrelated question: I'm going to be in SLC most of next week - are there any good sports bars near the convention center?

I agree totatlly about the LSU fans. Last year at the Bama LSU game it was pathetic. Thats the best I can describe it.

No Class.

Great Program with great personal

Yet, No Class.

I hate it for the LSU fans that are good football lovin people.

But, the drunk, F**** Bear, LSU fans I can't stand.

It just makes victory a little sweeter

That's for sure. He looked like he was smack dab in the middle of failing a field sobriety test while trying to walk to the sideline. Eyes crossed, mouth piece falling out....lol. And honestly, I didn't think he really got hit that hard.

Good point, now if only we could adjust the Auto-bid process for BCS bowls...

ha ha! you're probably right!! But watch out TCU is dangerous. I'm pretty confident they'll beat the spread

The same AUBURN team that scored 3 points against MISS ST that lost to a WAC school. The same MISS ST team that lost 38-7 to GT. Not impressive to me, not at all

In what universe are the Big East and the ACC overrated? They are barely even rated!

War_Eagle_Atlanta — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:07:45 -0000

Nah, I think they have even more problems than we do, and I'm not just saying that because they're up next.

I thought they might be a dark horse, like last year, but those illusions have been shattered...

War_Eagle_Atlanta — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:03:02 -0000

Okay, I was finally able to watch the broadcast this evening, which generally fills in a lot of details you can't see during the game. I didn't know that Lee had come in earlier in the game and was actually the one who threw the pick that went for the TD. I thought that was all Hatch. When Hatch got his bell rung, Lee came in and completed the 3rd and 4. Then threw the TD on 3rd and 10, right before getting smashed.

The game momentum changer was our possession immediatly before that when we got knocked out of field goal range. That 3 points would have been huge.

Man, I love going to college football games. Nothing can match that excitment, but nothing can match the drudgery of the two hour drive back to the ATL after a loss.

What was that you said? Drooling into the pillow of despair? Pretty close, bro. Pretty close...

BC: I'm dying to know. Were you able to commence operation Pull Wool during your trip to the Plains?

Don't look to me for advice. All the co-eds call me 'Sir'...

Obviously he's from some backwater bayou and was never exposed to that higher learning stuff they have in Red Stick. If you want to vouch for him, TE, that's one thing...

But if not, that's okay, too. Evidently, some Auburn guy must have slept with his girlfriend last year, hence the hostility and lack of class...

BC,

Oh, don't worry. Ron is always tryin' to find a thrill. You have all the logic required to fend this guy off. Just keep callin' them the way you see it - and he'll eventually give up. What was that line that Ron White always uses.....?

Sorry TE I dont understand you might be thinking of Nebraska and not A&M.
unranked Texas beat #1 Nebraska in that game
Texas,Texas A&M,Oklahoma,Texas Tech, Ok State and Baylor=south winner- faces whoever wins the north Neb,Missu, Colo, KU,KSU-whatever?
James Brown & Co beat top ranked Nebraska- huge upset
