  1. Attending the Paris Olympics and plan to visit Normandy for a couple of days. I've been once back in 1998. My dad (WWII vet) was my guide, but sadly he passed a few years ago. Any recommendations on tour guides or should I buy a book and do it myself? I will have a rental car.
  2. I saw Phish at The Sphere a couple of weeks ago. Un-fucking-believable. I've never seen Phish, but friend is big fan so he convinced me to go. They were perfect for the environment. Incredible visuals and sound. Stayed at The Wynn. Agree that the $50 tables were a turn-off. However, pro tip: If going to show at The Sphere, stay at The Wynn instead of Venetian. There's a bridge that connects the hotel to Sphere. The crowds coming from/heading to the Venetian were ridiculous, but we missed all that.
  3. So that chart that keeps showing up here is worthless. The Big10 Network is rated so all B1G games are included. But the Big12, SEC, ACC, and Pac12 had goose eggs for some games.
  4. Found it. Not included. 2023 college football TV ratings The following networks or services are not Nielsen-rated and thus are not included: SEC Network, ACC Network, CBS Sports Network, ESPN+, Pac-12 Network, Peacock.
  5. I've searched the Sports Media Watch website and cannot find any info on which channels are included or what is their methodology. To me makes it suspect.
  6. Made this comment before, but I don't think those TV numbers include non-rated channels like Longhorn Network and SEC Network. The numbers in the chart are cumulative, so misleading. If UK appeared multiple times on SECN, those TV numbers may not be there. Also, two of Texas' games are missing, so UT's numbers would be higher.
  7. And curious how those numbers are determined. LHN is not rated. So does Texas get a zero viewership for two out of twelve games?
  8. Attended Keeneland over the weekend for Bluegrass Stakes. Sierra Leone took forever to load into the gate, but what a beast. Favorite for Kentucky Derby at this point. And Keeneland -- what a great atmosphere. Packed with 40,000 in attendance and another several thousand tailgating outside. It's cool how the UK kids support racing.
  9. Maybe I'm old (which is true), but seems like Notre Dame would be on top. Any conference would kill to have them. I don't have an Xwitter account, so can't look at the methodology. But something like 1- ND, 2nd tier - Texas/Ohio St, 3rd tier - Bama/Mich, then others. But obviously, all are extremely valuable.
  10. My daughter (no pics) lives in Lexington, KY. Pretty happy if we play there in 2025.
  11. The one guy that put Bama #2 put us #7?!?
  12. Georgia over Bama is funny. Seems like they just played. And Bama took champ to OT.
  13. Those section 105 seats are now going for $5k each. A bargain, I tell ya! Still doesn't look like the schools have released their seats. If you look on Ticketmaster, almost no inventory in corner sections. Prices will drop significantly when those hit the market.
  14. Right. When they charge $136 in fees on a $400 ticket, $25 isn't much. Screw them.
  15. Especially odd if you look at the basketball graph above it on website. Says there are 34,162 accounts with points (2240 basketball season ticket holders). But the football chart says 40,581 accounts with points. Which is it?
  16. What's a good sports bar to watch the Big 12 Championship? Near central Austin. Plays TV sound, not music. The whole ABC/ATT squabble adds another layer,
  17. I was at the game, too. Was going to mention the sugar cubes. Great times! Laughable when fake army attacked our fans.
  18. Prices have come down some. 2nd deck end zone around $275 including Seat Geek fees. Over $400 for yard line seats. Get in price for upper deck around $130.
  19. Kentucky beats Alabama this weekend. So that solved that.
  20. TCU - Baylor is every year. They paired up KSU with KU instead of ISU. Sounds like how the Big12 screwed up the Neb-ou game.
