Making the weekend even more of a sporting high point for me is that I am a complete pushover for the Ryder Cup…I will truly effort to get up shortly after 5 when it starts here tomorrow…

If you can stream it, you can record it. For free. But, it’s not worth the bother. I suspect it’ll be readily available online.
I think Washington is paying me back for gloating on that SC win. That’s how it works, right?

I’m not sure, but didn’t FG announce that he’d have 3SP’s for the game on 5 Oct? If so, which 3?
I think Meds (duh), but that leaves 3 others (Huddy is out and I’d imagine Minor is not an option). So, Hanson or Minor being the 3rd?
This is starting to hurt my brain….guess I know why Fredi has no hair

BAS-
I’m torn on Washington- part of me knows that Stanford winning only helps USC, and part of me wants them to suffer tremendously. Although I did kinda screech in joy when the Huskies scored that last touchdown, so maybe I am leaning in that direction

Respectfully, I disagree. Most, and without exaggeration, darn-near all of those folks have left. And those who post in their stead blow. A few, like TOBF, are assets. Most make N8 look like a girl-scout.
Either way: we think it’s WW, and even it may not be, allow us to celebrate what he brought to this space. After ‘OB, he might’ve been it. I’d argue scoots, but I’d be willing to lose. They were (are) that good. Let’s try to keep ‘em here.

Allow me: history says it don’t work. Ten like-minds sounds like fun. Trust me: it gets boring. And, once you agree on ball, you start talking politics, or… A dozen of the best posters this space has ever had tried. Now, they’re all but forgotten.
