I think I was born 1 month after you. You were April of 88?
My best friend growing up ( before he moved away in 4th grade ) was born February 29th 1988. He'll have his 7th birthday next year

Yup, April '88.
I misread it. I thought you were saying you were 8 years old in 2000 when he retired. I'm 32.

Makes sense I suppose. I'd think three would be the norm, but player safety should be a priority.

I'll be 33 in October.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I believe that every coach thus far (Patterson, Beaty, and Holgerson) has said it won't affect them at all because they have only been doing two for a few years now. I know Patterson and Holgorsen said it, not sure about Beaty.
June 77 here. Let's go hit the Early Bird at Golden Corral.

November 91. Whatever gramps.
That was the year the Braves were robbed of a World Series. Kent Hrbek pulled Ron Gants leg off first base.

Man, I didn't start being a Braves fan until the early 2000s. Shame I missed out on those highs and lows.

My 10-year-old-Twins-fan self from 1991 doesn't recall that happening
My 14 year old Braves-hating self from 1991 doesn't care how it happened.

I watched John Rocker pitch a game once. Everyone booed him and my dad had to explain to me why.
Thanks for giving me the video reminder of that.

Biggest crock of shit I've watched on TV to date.
I think the one redeeming quality of John Rocker was how much he pissed off Yankees fans. Now granted, some of the stuff he was saying to piss them off was vile and awful, but I was happy about them being so mad at him. Didn't he flip them off too when he went in the dugout once?

Fun article on SBNation charting the difference in offensive philosophies of different teams by conference.
"On a side note, Washington should probably leave for the Big Ten. Not sure what they're doing."
"On a side note, Washington should probably leave for the Big Ten. Not sure what they're doing."
We're playing football without a quarterback, that's what.

Is Louisiana Monroe FBS?
Sunbelt so yeah, they still beat VPI though who beat THE Ohio State last year.

They beat Arkansas in Little Rock in 2012 when Arkansas was ranked in the Top 10.

Oh and the fact that a school like fucking Wake Forest is going to cash a check this year for like $20-$30 million bucks really grinds my gears.
Such bullshit.
Such bullshit.

I think I remember that. They went on to almost beat Baylor the following week I seem to remember

So what really sucks is waiting on a notification on a potential job offer. I should know this week if I will start packing my bags to Las Vegas. I was flown out a couple weeks ago for an interview.

Good Luck! Las Vegas would be quite the place to live. Of course after a few months of living there you'll become a "local" that just sees the Las Vegas Strip as a tourist attraction.

I'm already preparing myself for that actually. I already experience that in Orlando. I have year passes to Disney, SeaWorld, and Universal and I still barely go. Just not a big deal. Although I probably barely get out due to my masters. Once that's done, I'll have so much more free time.
Thanks, though. The biggest issue would be having to give up UCF home games. I don't know how I'd feel about that.
perfectchaos007

Yeah and the Las Vegas bowl doesn't have an AAC tie in so you can't even look forward to that.
However, they play @ Stanford in September which wouldn't be a terrible drive. You could get there in day.
GoldenEye 007

Haha yup. San Fran area is like an 8 hour drive. Fuck that.
I'd fly as it seems for that timeframe flights are cheap as hell and of course like 1 hour or so. I'd just get a rental from SFO or Oakland to Stanford Stadium. Already planned that out. Stanford fans must suck as tickets through UCF are only like $20.
I mean at least we have an ESPN contract, so I'd still be able to see most games on TV. But still it'd suck. Games in Orlando are great.

Oh yeah San Jose is possible too. If I can make Stanford and USC, I'll be happy. The rest of our games pretty much suck. Especially at home. Except for the away game at Cinci.Better to fly into SJC if you can. Shorter drive and better traffic/airport in general.
And yes, Stanford fans are terrible.
i love that you refer to Virginia Tech as VPI. That makes me happy in the same way it makes me happy to refer to Georgia Tech as the North Avenue Trade School.

Wake Forest won the ACC championship a few years ago. Did UCF win the ACC championship a few years ago?
QED.

No but we did win the Big XII championship!
Quite an impressive feat as nobody won the Big XII championship last year.

Also dubious since there's only 10 teams.
Just what kind of a scam is that conference running down there?

We actually refer to ourselves as that sometimes. You can even get t-shirts that say North Avenue Trade school in in our bookstore.
I heard that they decided to completely forgo the idea of "champions" and just award every team a participation ribbon at the end of the season.
