Isn't Butler hurt?

Thats all you need to know right there. In college football when you are Notre Dame, thats a terrible record. They beat some mickey mouse teams, and even managed to lose to Syracuse. What part about them other than their name makes them a top 25 team?

Really? I went to school there and always thought it was still Bills country. Most of the out-of-town bars (like Glenwood Pines) showed the Bills games and had people watching it. Even Benchwarmers (where the jest/giants fans would go watch their games) did promos during the bills games and had bigger bills crowds. Its definitely not like WNY as far as how big of fans people are, but I never met someone who wasn't from downstate who liked the jets or the giants....guess I wasn't looking hard enough for them ;-)

I think it just means that TO needs/gets a lot of attention on a national stage, thus Dallas was a "good situation" for him, the Giants or Redskins would have been good for him, etc. Nothing to do with football, everything to do with the fact that the dude has his own reality TV show.

Does the NFL have restricted free agents like the NHL does? I'm not that familiar with the NFL system, but as a team I would want to know I have the first option after those 3 years to sign a guy to a longer contract.

This is brutal, its never this hot in Buffalo. Why didn't anyone tell me about this before I moved here? And why doesn't my apartment have air conditioning? Oh well, its good scenery from my office window downtown

So, if it were legal and people didn't have to buy it from criminals....would it still be a "gateway drug"?

And that picture in your avatar....

Thats my point, I shouldn't need to do that. I don't use IE, but I definitely thrash my file system a lot with video files and all of the stuff associated with building complex software (lots of source files, object files, binaries, etc). I could clean it up, but that is likely to take just as much time as redoing it from scratch. This doesn't happen to nearly the same extent on other platforms....here's to hoping that Windows 7 does a better job.

Why are you guys still talking on this thread? Godwin's law was satisfied halfway through....

Generally these days I'm in the camp that the OS no longer matters at all, as long as it has a good web browser. However I have an XP box and a linux box at work, and a mac at home. The mac is over 2 years old, and the XP machine is only ~9 months old. The mac has no problems....but the bitrot on the XP box is so awful right now that I can barely use it. I write video encoding software, and performance tests on the Windows machine are running about half the speed now than they were running 6 months ago....even though windows claims nothing is running. I don't have time to wipe the XP machine, and I need it to do my job. If you don't mind reinstalling every 6 months, Windows does just fine, but I'm pretty unhappy right now that I have to spend an entire day just to get back up to a productivity level I used to be at.

Wow, like I said in the _other_ thread that is still on the front page.... Why does every I LOVE TEEEEEBOW post contain something along the lines of "I live in Florida and Tebow is the greatest thing in the world!"? Because everybody else knows that his SEC game is gimmicky and does not mean he will be good against NFL-caliber defenses.

About 2 blocks from the new home of PUBS

I'm there with you Lana. I moved to OR last fall, but just spent last week in NYC. I forgot how how friggen humid it is back there! So far, I hate to say it, but Oregon summer might beat out Buffalo summers by the lake....

Too bad all those Jest and Giants fans downstate don't think the way you do.

Wow... People from Ohio need to get out more. WAY more.

Yes, I do. Cornell played a very disciplined game (until the end), and the whistles were used sparingly so that the game could be decided on the field. There were no officiating controversies (unless somehow Tambroni called a TO on that last clear and the refs didn't whistle it, but I haven't heard anything to that effect). It was a great game as the lacrosse championship usually is. SU wasn't owed any "favors".

Take your orange colored glasses off dude...his glove was in the crease before the ball went in. Conclusively. You won, stop being an ass

No it wasn't. Really the only problem in that game was Tambroni not calling timeout on the last clear....when the coach has mental breakdowns, so do the players. Great game though....

Lets go RED!!!!

Wow, I didn't really remember how important Metzellars was to that offense, and how well Kelly really spread the ball out. I hope that Nelson can be a big target. We also need a target out of the backfield....Hopefully Jackson can play that role, and Trent doesn't lock on to 83 and 81. The other thing I thought was crazy was the way that game was coached.....that INT that the Bills had in the 4th quarter, what coach in 2009 would have been throwing the ball there? Steve Young or not, coaches these days would be happy to run the ball and take a punt.

So I heard that the Johnny's sign is gone b/c it was falling apart or something. Also, the Hot Truck owner died, but I think hot truck is still there. I could definitely go for some super chexx at Chapter House. You guys remember the Chariot? That was the best dive in collegetown, but sadly it is no more.

Why is it that every Tebow man-love post starts out with "I'm from Florida, and I think this Tebow guy is the greatest thing since sliced bread!" Oh, I know why. Because the rest of us don't see it through gator-colored glasses, and know that gimmick college QBs don't do well in the NFL. I'll pass on Tebow.

You may hear its the worst....from fans of the other team. I'd probably agree with that. I've worn Bills gear to other stadiums (Oakland and the Meadowlands) that were supposed to be kinda rough, and they really weren't at all. People don't tend to fare so well at the Ralph. I went to a game in Detroit, in their fancy new dome. Great pulled pork nachos....horrible, horrible place for a football game.

? You do know if you jumped in an inner tube in downtown detroit, you'd float straight to HSBC arena, don't you?
