*edit* this was In response to someone who asked if I was AIG. *sorry that it popped up out of contexthere* Nope. AllianceBernstein. (Not sure why this is on the main Athletic forum, just realized that)

We've got our home for sale in NJ. (Actually through attorney review, but home inspection may be a sticking point). And we are moving to Brentwood TN. Will be looking for some Bulls fans once we get there, but not in time for this game. Maybe end of October.

We'd make a trip down from NJ. Wife+kids. Enjoyed Annapolis the last time we were there. Maybe wrap in a night or two in the Inner Harbor.

fwiw

I would have to think that if Charlie Strong got hired then he would be doing the same thing, reaching out to kids that he was recruiting to UT and trying to flip them to USF.

Anyone familiar with parking at the stadium? Need to buy a parking pass ahead of time?

Just an FYI, in case the Bulls head to Toronto; it looks like the passport rules won't be in effect till Jan 23. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061122/ap_on_go_ot/passports_air_travel_16

Anyone have the ability to put those Grothe plays up on YouTube? -- Tom

Anyone know where they tape the show? ESPNZone?

New York's ABC station is going to show the Miami game :-[

I'm considering taking a ride from NJ up to UCONN for the game this Saturday. I assume tickets will be available at the stadium box office. Anyone know of any alumni pre-game/tailgate activities. Thanks -- Tom

Clemson 25. South Carolina Sunshine State roundup: A quick reminder now that Miami, Florida State and Florida have faded. The program from the state of Florida closest to a BCS bowl might be South Florida (6-3). The Bulls moved a step closer to getting the Big East's BCS bid by beating Cincinnati 31-16. It has a road game at UConn on Saturday. Win that and South Florida will likely be playing West Virginia for the conference title. The Mountaineers still have to beat Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving. Central Florida clinched Conference USA's East Division by beating Rice 31-28. It will be playing in the conference's title game on Dec. 3 with a chance to set the NCAA record for biggest turnaround. The Knights have gone from 0-11 last year to 8-3.

I wonder what the New York City(WABC) ABC station will show. They cover the tri-state, (NY,NJ,CONN), so it would make sense to show the game. A good performance on the local NYC ABC station on a slow Saturday would be some great exposure. -- Tom
