  1. Works for me. At least we won't be eating pulled pork for breakfast.
  2. Never heard back from the BoB manager that was going to try and get me in. To far to drive to go on a chance.
  3. Season tickets are a great entertainment value, especially if you get the $99 package. Tax tag and title for 2 tickets and a season parking pass is about $367. That comes to a shade over 20 bucks a game for 2 people. You can't hardly go to the movies for that now-a-days.
  4. Been to the last 2, but not this one. Great turn out last time. If memory serves me right, the 08 game was a 3:30 start, but it was overcast near the end of the game. Ricky, you are correct, however, the visitors do face west.
  5. Gene Chizick's wife blames Satan for Auburn's rough start. There you go.
  6. Might want to read the full article. I wouldn't wave good-bye too hard. Not just yet anyway.
  7. Should be getting our season tickets next week or the week after. I'm ready for some round ball.
  8. I'm sure Louisville would like to know, too. He should have a special news conference to outline plan of attack. The Cards won't watch, seriously. Not at all what I meant, but your snarky comment was funny. I'd be ecstatic if Skip really tried something out of the norm on both offense and defense against Louisville. If we're going to stink, I'd still love to see some creative fight in this coaching staff. I just don't think it's in his nature. I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong. Rush 5 every down please. Rush 6 on 3rd downs. Just be f'ing aggressive. He has to do something. We know it. He and his staff knows it. The players know it. If and what he does, we can only speculate. That's what makes this place GREAT!!!!
  9. Thanks, you just reminded me to cancel the Trib subscription. 50 cents a day is way too much to pay for a crossword puzzle.
  10. Wonder what mutt is wearing today. Probably the same as what he wears everyday, USF gear. Nobody gears up like mutt.
  11. It's Homecoming. We'd be there if the team was 0-50, because Homecoming is more than about football. We'll be at most all of the homecoming activities.

  13. coachspeak. he's been saying that for 3 weeks now. if you actually take responsibility, something should be changed or coached or fixed. the team has not improved at all, and if it has, another area has gone unchecked and cost us. obviously, coaches do not speak very specific, but i haven't heard anything resembling any sort of detail like "we're going to work on play calls that work," or "we're going to do pass rushing drills," or "we're going to move some players around and try a few new things." instead all we hear is "We're going to go out there and roll up our sleeves." Amazing, isn't it? That's exactly what Jimbo Fisher said after the loss to NC State. Fire him, too? It doesn't matter what he says, hm101. Here, it's falling on deaf ears. Wins are the only thing that will fix the whining and complaining, not words. Skip, knows that, too. He just can't say, "**** you people, we're working on it.", so he has to say something because silence makes it worse. It's not the fact that we are losing, it is how we are losing and who we are losing to. We have consistently lost close games in the second half. That is almost entirely coaching. That is what is so frustrating. We aren't consistently winning close games. I will give you the Nevada game, but that took 2 hail marys after we were beaten in every facet of the game for almost 3 quarters. I don't think that anyone who is complaining after what amounts to almost two straight seasons of ineptitude. We haven't had a barrage of unfortunate injuries. We haven't been decimated by graduation. Coach Holtz can save his weak lip service, at this point only results are going to matter. If I consistently disappointed my boss for two consecutive years, I would be seeking new employment. He is going to get another season, but he hasn't shown me squat as a head coach. I agree with all of your observations. Winning fixes all. I'd a soon he said nothing, but he can't do that either.
  14. Last I checked, Charlie Weiss is still looking for divine intervention.

  16. Another self indulgent act that probably does more harm to the program than good. Show the world you're pissed. It'll do you good.
  17. That's why I think they should wear the plastic, clear laundry bag types ... Only if they use ty-raps to keep them on tight.
  18. V5 is wrong about one thing. There will be no Skip Holtz Radio Show Tuesday night, because of the bye week, and the one on 16th will be as generic as all of the others.
  19. Go ahead and show your displeasure. I'm pretty sure he already knows how unhappy we are. If he doesn't, there is no way to get the message through, guys. He knows he's losing. He knows the fan base is unhappy. Doing this is boycott redundant. If it makes you feel better, though, go for it. I will be there to support the team. Right on time, like every game. I guess under Bubba's scoring system, I'm hardcore. Now will somebody tell Mrs. S?
  20. Would hate to see how many season tickets are lost if he somehow isn't let go. Skip probably doesn't even think his job is in jepordy Because it's not.
  21. My crystal balls don't work well enough. (At least that is what Mrs. S keeps telling me.) I can't see past the last game.
  22. The fact that you understand my thought process should be reason for concern on your part, but you are exactly right about my point. I'm listening /Dr. Frazier Crane Wait. Sorry, I misread that. I meant that I feel Woolard will give Skip more time, based on the success of Heath after 2 bad seasons. Mike, your sanity is in tact. Triple is the one with the problem. I do not mean to disparage Stan Heath at all. The man has done an amazing job, especially last season. However, my opinion is that Doug will not be swift in applying pressure to Holtz based on what he (Woolard) may perceive as patience with Heath. Do I think Skip should get more time? I'll be honest in saying, I simply don't know, especially given the fact that we've still got two-thirds of the season ahead of us. I cannot and will not give up on this team, yet, that includes the coaching staff. That's the way I am. Ask me for my opinion on December 2nd. My perspective will be a lot clearer, then. We just need a win. Bad!
  23. Got the season tix taken care of, though they still haven't worked out all of the seating arrangements. Can't wait for this event and my first glimpse of the new Sun Dome.
