  1. If you start paying college athletes then I'm out for good.  I have watched through my many, many years the prostituting of the college game for money. If a full scholarship for an athlete isn't enough compensation ( as a guess maybe worth $30K - $40K per year) for playing a game, then I think college sports is closer to doom than I thought.  May be sour grapes on my part but I know I'd never donate to a school that payed their players in any sport.  I'm curious, if USF were to pay athletes, where would the money come from?  

  2.  

     

     

    I live in the Jasper, Ga area.  The closet "big" city to me is Canton Ga., about 50 minutes NE of Atlanta.  Are there any watch groups closer to this area than Atlanta, ie. Cumming/Alpharetta? Anyone want to start one?  There is a nice sports bar in the Canton area called Sidelines Grill that would probably love the business and would be willing to host a group. Plenty of TV's for game day and the food and drink isn't bad either.  I just don't want to be driving the distance home from Atlanta (Atlanta watch group) after consuming a few adult beverages.

    Alpharetta is your best bet, it's actually not far from Canton at all, and I believe still at Ale House on Mansell Rd off GA 400. Easy, maybe 20-25 min drive from Canton through back roads.

    I live in Buford on the NE side, pretty much opposite of you. :). You're closer to Alpharetta than I am, though. The watch parties are usually geared more towards Bulls alumni that live near or inside the Perimeter. Jus' the way it is, I'm afraid.

     

    Do you attend the watch parties in Atlanta?

     

     

     

    Nope, not usually.  For pretty much the reasons you stated:  too far, if I want some beers it's not too smart to drive such a distance and I can't take my little people with me, they'd be bored to death.  Wife stays at home with my youngest so leaving the kids with her every weekend wouldn't be too fair. 

     

    Understood.  Been there myself, although many moons ago.  If you ever just want to take a day to watch the Bulls, and bring your family, let me know.  Maybe we could have our own watch party around the Cumming area, which shouldn't to far from Buford.  Enjoy your posts and thanks for responding.
