NCAA Football '11-'12

[Berkut]

Are they not the rivals of the Dallas Cow....ewrrrrh, I mean the Texas Longhorns?

LOL.  The current owner is an Arkansas Razorback who delighted in firing the only important Longhorn ever associated with the cowgirls.  Then he hired another Arkansas grad and drafted a Sooner.

Yeah, I could imagine the two don't like each other, what with going after the same core of bandwagon Texans and other assorted riff-raff.

[Valmy]

No, I am speaking of Notre Dame, of course.

Really?  Still?  I figured everybody had stopped hating them by now.

Why would that make tickets to a home game for still-undefeated LSU cheaper?  Are there a certain number of tickets set aside for Florida students/alumni?

There are a fixed number of tickets available for visiting-school students in any matchup.  If fewer Florida students want to go see LSU trash Florida, then those tickets will be less in demand, and so lower in price.  After all, the scalpers have to sell them, or eat what they paid.

Exactly. I was able to buy a pair of tickets for face value today, albeit from a non-student, as there are tickets set aside for boosters/season ticket holders as well. I found the tickets on GatorCountry, a Gator fan site. The tickets were listed at $125 each. I sent the seller a message saying that I would be willing to buy them at $75 each(face value). A few hours later, he accepted.

Interestingly, I checked the ticket prices for the game online, and they are going for way more than that. So, I got a pretty good deal.

Seriously?  You are lecturing me about bandwagoners?  I mean you are such a bandwagoner you hate Texas and Notre Dame more than your freaking rival.  You are the Tim of haterade.

Wow nice!  Is Brantley going to be ok for the game?

Me too. And Ohio St, Michigan and USC more than them.

[Grey Fox]

I just hate the NCAA

Brantley's not going to play.  LSU will romp to victory.

Ah crap.

To let you know why the hatred of Colorado State runs so deep, Valmy...CSU used to be Colorado A&M, and they were the...Aggies...

Well they did stop being Aggies at some point.  That is progress.

Once a year they wear throwback uniforms with Aggies on the helmet. They will never stop being Aggies.

Are you supposed to "hate" your biggest rival?

I mean the Blue Bombers biggest rival is the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and while I wish the Riders would go 0-18 every single year, I don't hate them.  They're lovable in the way you love your inbred, retarded in-laws who live in the country.

Well Arizona State are the biggest cheaters in the history of College sports which is really an amazing achievement.

But frankly I am just sorta disappointed.  Just like your Jets I always rooted for Arizona and hated on ASU because, you know, Berkut is a Languishite and I like talking sports and I thought we were friends and all.  Ah well.  Now we just sorta troll and counter troll each other.

[Valmy]

Oh Valmy, that Iowa State player who was carted off is apparently fine.   As in might play next week fine.

Oh fantastic.  It would have been horrible for a talented guy like that to end his career on a garbage time injury.

Why?  Why would they do that?  Well damn now there are no good guys in the CSU-CU game.

[grumbler]

Also why are ~half of them covered and saluting, and the other half not?

It may be that the ones in back are underneath the upper deck and so not "outdoors" and thus required (allowed) to cover.

These guys are reserve soldiers, though, correct?  They should be saluting the flag, then, covered or not.
