Solution: Marry a football fan.

If we were local (and by that I mean anywhere within a two-hour drive), we'd be there for pretty much every home game.

Of course, last year my wife wore her Patriots jersey to church Superbowl Sunday night -- and she did the special music that night.

[TDDance234]

Just devote 9 months of the year to doing whatever she wants and going wherever she wants to go, and then asking for 6-7 Saturdays doesn’t seem so bad.

Bingo.

It's how I got away with Sunday Ticket. I give up most college football games (which is why I got the DVR package...she still hasn't figured out how to use it yet) on Saturday for the NFL on Sunday afternoons.

However, after February 3rd, I'm indebted to her until August.

With all due respect to spousal relations, I'd love to return attention to the matter at hand ...

IT'S GAME WEEK!

[jcmanson]

Yeah baby! The summer is almost over!

I haven't checked the weather forecast for Saturday; anyone know if there's any chance for rain?

[FlamingChick]

Chance of T-storms for Saturday, but that could change as the week progresses..

[JDUB]

i love games in the rain. was it st paul 2 years ago that it rained and we still had a crap ton of people there? that was one of my best LU football memories

[Hold My Own]

Question of the day: How much $$$$$ does it take to 1. Get someone to give TRBC our info so we can get a quick blast to thousands of people who would be likely to go 2. If the info was shared then have it be announced?




Ever since Doc (who would find out things like scores, times of games etc on his own) passed away LU sports has been mentioned only a handful of times...it's not tough to give Jonathan a index card with a quick bullet point on everything going on in the next week and maybe things like SEASON HOME OPENERS! geeeeeeez

[thepostman]

he was too busy telling people to not park at toys r us...come on man! haha

I agree though...but if you own a tv and watch channel 13 for like 2 minutes you are guaranteed to see an add for the season opener...it airs all the time

[Hold My Own]

yeah...it just makes to much sense though...I mean we're willing to PAY for a commercial to be aired and viewed by thousands of people yet we cant take the 5 minutes to get the same amount of exposure for FREE...lol

[SuperJon]

Ever stopped to think maybe Jonathan doesn't care about sports as much as his dad did? I'm not saying that's the case, but it could be.

[JDUB]

i'd say he doesn't since he never mentions it, but I agree with HMO that it would be nice to drop a 5 sec mention of the home opener.

[Hold My Own]

Oh there's no question he doesnt care as much...so yes I've thought about it...I've heard him say "I dont follow sports like my father did but I'm more then willing to announce anything regarding them as LONG AS I'M GIVEN THE INFORMATION"


And that statement was after something important (MBB Big South game?) wasnt mentioned and his response "I had no idea"

[SuperJon]

I was just asking. I didn't know. I've never met the guy.

[thepostman]

As excited as I am for this game to finally come I actually looked at the splash page tonight for the first time in a while and saw this

https://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=5 ... N=82851801

now...I know that it says they will be back by 6....but since when does SA ever do anything on time....

so it begins again

[Sly Fox]

[thepostman]

I am not really that angry about ....only because its expected...plus its the first game of the season...I am too excited to get too angry...

[coolhandluke]

yeah, this just shows how dumb the people from student activities are. I work at the master's inn and I will not be working this event. I will be tailgating all day and be in the stadium by 6 like a true fan.

[givemethemic]

O this quote is just to funny... What a bunch of morons!!!!

Meet us at the LaHaye Student Center starting at 12:30 PM. Go from 1 to 3 PM or from 3 to 6 PM, or really impress that special someone by staying the entire time!!!

Maybe it should have said... or show them you are a true loser and have no life and stay the whole time!!!

You're gonna cry on senior day.

quite possible.

On Greiser:

Expecting him to have a great season...playing with an awful lot of confidence...finds himself in a lot of really good spots...moved him to the "money" linbacker position in the nickel package...gives us more speed on 3rd down...can be "that" type of player for us this season...smart, physical kid

Coach told #24 he thinks 5 INTs are possible for him- RG responded, "why not 8"

[Chris Lang]

Just for you Medic:
