  1. I'll be there. Look for the guy in the red, white, AND blue.
  2. Haven't read this whole thread, but any other Surly degenerates here in Paris? Heading to Soccer quarterfinals today. The beach volleyball was something.
  3. Also went to Texas/Rutgers in 1999. Overall a fun trip. Stayed in NYC and went to a Yankees game Friday night. Generally a good crowd, except holy shit, did I fear for my life when one of the drunk assholes in our group started to talk shit to a couple of guys that looked like they were cast straight from The Sopranos.
  4. That's my excuse, too. CC expired and did not notice. Renewed.
  5. Surprised Fl at Texas and/or Texas at piggie isn't on that list. Maybe because teams will be shit by November? As for Big12, ouch. There has to be at least one game predicted to be in top 40, right? Right?!? KU/KSU? Utah/BUY? Some random Colorado game? Something? Anything? Bueller?
  6. Academy has these in stock in Austin, as well as, the Texas Standard guayaberas mentioned above.
  7. Missed this from a couple of months ago. So Kansas, KSU, ISU, etc. get roughly the same amount as Notre Dame. That's amazing.
  8. Yeah, 1975 is the only one I remember that was two top ten teams. Aggy went right for Marty Akins injured knee in 1st quarter to knock him out. Cheap shot, bastards.
  9. For those who want promotion/relegation in college football, we have it now. Except teams move up, few move down, and the leagues become larger.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. And curious how those numbers are determined. LHN is not rated. So does Texas get a zero viewership for two out of twelve games?
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. My daughter (no pics) lives in Lexington, KY. Pretty happy if we play there in 2025.
  20. The one guy that put Bama #2 put us #7?!?
  21. Georgia over Bama is funny. Seems like they just played. And Bama took champ to OT.
