Is that all I'm supposed to get? I heard others mention a pin or something, which I did not receive. Or, is it something I'll have to wait for since this is only my first year as a season ticket holder?

That reminds me; I almost had a bagel this morning for breakfast. I decided to just have some water and an apple instead. Damn, I wish I'd had that bagel! Life would've been so much easier.

Damn. Harsh, man. Harsh.

Irony.

I'm doing my part this year. I hope they NEVER leave Buffalo!

I wish my damn computer was working. Well, it works, I just can't connect to the 'net until I do a recovery to wipe out the system. Lesson learned: I'll be making my picks AND doing any fantasy football changes necessary by Thursday or Friday, so that I'm not stuck again like last weekend. Side note: man, it sucks not having access to the board in the evenings.

Because of computer problems, I won't be able to access the 'net from home for a few days. They said they'll have to send me some CD that will help me put the computer back to where it was when we bought it in July. They tried to help me to that over the phone, but it didn't work. I have to go through this in the first place because Verizon online said I have some sort of 'conflict' that makes it so we can't connect to the 'net. Once Dell gets that fixed, we can get the DSL working again. This is one of those times where I wish I could actually do all that technical stuff on computers, so that I could fix the problem myself. Anyway, I'm outta here.

Howard Johnson is right!

taterhill is right!

[person 1]"So, do you have good things to say about the team?" [person 2]"Well, actually, I..." [person 1]"It doesn't matter what you have to say about the team!"

and it's boring. I even took a little kidding from a Steelers fan this morning. After all, they're 2-1. Great. As if the arrogant yet ignorant Ravens fans weren't bad enough. Oh well.

I don't live that close; it's a 6-7 hour drive for me, depending on how fast I want to drive and what the weather is like. You're going to the Rams game? Where did you find tickets?

Okay, here's the deal folks. DATE, TIME, PLACE The tailgate will be Sunday, October 24th, 2004 at Sliders Bar and Grille, which is located at 504 Washington Blvd in Baltimore. It's across the street from Oriole Park at Camden Yards and just about a block or so away from M&T Bank Stadium. The tailgate will begin at 10:00am and will last until about 1:30pm. Those who plan on staying at Sliders to watch the game are more than welcome to stay beyond 1:30pm. COST The cost for the buffet will be $10.00 per person. Payment must be made IN ADVANCE so that we can pay the deposit required beforehand. I will include my PayPal email address to send payment. Please remember to put your TBD username, real name, and address information (also names of accompanying guests) when submitting payment, so that I can keep a record of who has paid the fee. MENU Here's the menu (all included in the $10.00 fee): Burgers Sausages w/green peppers and onions Chili Potato salad Cheese and vegetable platter Chips Pretzels Sodas and, oh yeah... WINGS!! DRINK SPECIALS In addition, there will be drink specials (not included with the $10.00 fee): 2 for 1 beers (Yuengling and Miller Lite) 2 for 1 rail drinks (rum, gin, and vodka, which should make my wife very happy!) I've been told that Miller Lite will also be doing a giveaway from the tailgate (keychains, T shirts, etc.). We have decided not to have a live band there, but there may be an individual performer for the outside like last year. Hope to see you all on October 24th at Sliders!

It's certainly a busy month for me: 10/10/04 Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers 10/24/04 Buffalo Bills @ Baltimore Ravens 10/31/04 Arizona Cardinals @ Buffalo Bills That's usually as many games as I go to in a season, and I still have the Steelers @ Bills game in January to attend.

I think I replied to it. Anyway, I cleaned out nearly half of the junk in my inbox, so there's room...........................for now.

0 for the weekend, thanks to Dell!

Leatherface

I'll get a good look at the Gophers this weekend when Penn State plays them. It might not be a pretty sight.

I doubt the Cards would give up Jones and a first for Travis.

100 Lindell FGs (76 of which are 50+) 46 TDs (19 by the defense); Lindell misses every PAT one safety (Posey is held in the endzone)

Campbell, Neufeld, and Euhus have shown absolutely nothing this season, other than the fact that they can drop passes and cannot sustain their blocks. I hope someone lit a fire under their a**es and that they come out and give Bledsoe some kind of saftey valve; it's not like he couldn't use one, you know! It's still early enough that they can turn it around, but they'd better start now.

2 Days In The Valley is a good movie. I actually bought the DVD at a flea market for $3.

578-2 Bills win!

He had a few decent throws. The thing I like about Roethlisberger is that he doesen't get rattled easily, by pressuring defenders or even by making mistakes. After throwing that INT, he could've just let that affect his game the rest of the way through. He didn't. This guy is for real.

USC was very close to losing the top ranking. They're still a good team, but right now there are teams that are playing better than they are, such as Oklahoma and Georgia. It's still way too early to think they're overrated or if they're just playing good teams that are giving them everything they've got since USC is the defending national champ. As much as it pains me to say, Notre Dame is starting to look really good now. I can't believe they haven't slipped into the Top 25 yet, though they were the leading vote getters for unranked teams. West Virginia has looked impressive so far. I'm really looking forward to their game against the Hokies to see what they've really got. Same goes for Auburn. Beating LSU was very impressive; next up are the #8 Vols. It should be a great one. Is Texas really as good as their #5 ranking? I dunno. Virginia is looking good in the early going as well. What a great LB corps they have! Kyle Orton is just lighting teams up! He put a hurtin' on the Illini Saturday with 366 yards passing and 4 TDs. Now, the fun begins as the Boilermakers' schedule gets a lot more competitive with Notre Dame, Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Northwestern, Iowa, Ohio State, and Indiana all waiting to take their shots at him. Buckle up that chinstrap, Kyle. As for Penn State............oh boy. Since I've been saying that I think they're a year away from really contending, the one thing I hoped for was a relatively injury-free season. Yeah, right. Chris Ganter is a nice kid and all, but I really don't want to see him running the 'O'. Not at all. Best game I watched last weekend? Without a doubt, it was this one! The Utah Utes can score!! Urban Meyer's spread offense is really exciting to watch: it's like watching the Bills' no huddle offense on speed! QB Alex Smith was sharp and their WRs have blazing speed. I was also watching OG Chris Kemoeatu, who I hope the Bills will look into drafting next year. He had some really nice run blocks and a couple impressive blocks in pass protection. Plus, he's got a mean streak!
