That’s my go-to spot, but I’m just realizing it’s pretty pricey and the Hampton Inn is full. I should book my reservations now for the opening two weeks next year then cancel the road weekend. I’ll spend more as long as I’m getting more.
I have stayed at the Williamsville Hampton Inn many times and it is great. Walikng distance to restaurants and breweries and just down the road from the Eagle House, a GREAT restaurant.

Every college fan base wants their coach fired I realized.
Well, for 17 years this was not true.

No it's not. No matter how much you want it be.
He is halfway through his first season.
Kirby Smart went 8-4 his first season at UGA, and he lost to Vandy, Tennessee, and GT. All of them at home. And it's not like he was handed a crap roster.
Lack of discipline is a HUGE problem. DeBoer has an ice cream truck and loud music at practice. The players are not used to being this comfortable.
That said, the elephant in the room imo is Milroe. Great runner, strong arm, but he isn't a good passer or decision maker. There is talent up and down their roster. The receivers, TEs, and running backs are fine, but; teams are jamming the line of scrimage and daring Milroe to throw, and he just isn't very good at it, at least when compared to their previous four (if not six) quarterbacks. My biggest fear wrt the Tide is that Milroe gets a poor draft grade and comes back for his 3 million NIL.
It's time for them to turn the page at QB.
Jmo.

I can't find the article - but I read one a few days ago where it was either GMs or scouts telling college quarterbacks to not enter the draft unless they've started at least two full seasons in college because that's the realistic floor of experience to have a chance of success in the NFL.
That makes a ton of sense. Mac Jones was GREAT in college but he only had one season as a starter. Although QBs (including even Peyton Manning) need time to adjust, I don't consider the NFL to be a developmental league.

Colts drafted 95% athlete, 5% football player. A story as old as the NFL draft itself.
Unfortunately for the Colts, Joe Flacco is 95% football player and 5% athlete at this stage is his career.
I like the way you phrased this. I remember him well when he played at Florida. He did have a huge amount of talent but I wasn't all that frightened when he played against Alabama. Ironically, Alabama now has a QB with a similar great skill set (Jalen Milroe) who is not a favorite of mine (although he would never tap out of a game).
The following are Richardson's college stats. Drafting him in round one was a dumb move imo. There was nothing to indicate that he merited a first round pick.

He was a great guy and this is very sad news. RIP John and keep on rooting from the sky.

A 7th for Dexter Lawrence if they pay his salary?
I very rarely get to watch the Giants but I saw some of his highlights. Serious question, is he the best, or one of the best DTs in the NFL, or was the great play from him that I saw on the highlights just an outlier?
He looked like freaking Leon Lett on some of the plays I saw.

I’m sure he won’t let the awkwardness get to him when he has 18, 19, 20 year old co-ed’s throwing themselves at him.Indeed. I too fail to see the problem lol.

Loose Lucy is my delight
She come running and we ball all night
Round and round
And round and round
(And round and round and round)
Don't take much to get me on the ground
She's my yo-yo, I'm her string
Listen to the birds on the hot wire sing
Yeah, (Yeah) yeah, (Yeah) yeah, (Yeah, yeah) yeah
Singing, "Thank you
For a real good time!" -

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only lookbehind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game -
I have watched Amari since his college career. If he is healthy he is excellent. I think that many Bills Fans will be shocked at how good his hands are and how easily he gets open.

Sliding to call timeout and stop the clock then kick a FG with one sec left. Sadly it ticked off.
Are your players displaying a lack of discipline or perhaps even concentration? The Alabama players don't seem to be as focused this season.
Also, how is Caleb Downs looking?

I love Saban on college gameday.
The man really does teach about coaching and developing players. There may never be another Nick Saban.

I'll say it and I've been saying it, Allen is superior to Mahomes, outplayed Mahomes in the playoffs, Defense/ST lost those games, once he matches his accolades he'll be unanimously the goat of this generation

DeBoer might not last at that program to be honest. He has to follow one of, if not the, greatest college coaches of all time. That’s a monumental task in itself, especially when you double down on the expectations that program has/have had.
He has to beat Tennessee this week. No if’s and’s or but’s. The rest of the schedule, as it stands, are unranked teams. A loss to any of them and he’s definitively out the door in the near future.
The thing is, these coaches have guaranteed contracts. I hope that they don't wind up in a Texas A&M/Jimbo Fisher situation. I really don't think they have that kind of money.

Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl, that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin' on the chain gang

Well you take my silver dollar
Take those silver dimes
Fix it up together

Looking high, looking low
Going to scare you up and shoot ya

My insurance premiums doubled as my company who insured me for years with no claims , dropped me and left the state. So I was paying 6 k a year and it went to over 12 k a year and even state sponsored plans are reportedly insolvent with no guarantee of paying for damage. They also require roof inspection and agreeing to replace any roof over ten years old. It became prohibitive for me as I became partially disabled after failed cervical surgery for 5 herniated discs and had to retire from my usual clinical work. I am 67 , on social security now , and forking out 12 k a year for something you hope to never use has just been out of reach. I have no mortgage , few bills , but the insurance prices had been so bad , many who moved to Florida had to turn around and resell the property as they can’t afford to get insurance. It’s terrible and there has been no relief with government help.
I hopefully am not in huge danger as I live in ponte vedra just south of Jacksonville but no part of Florida is fully safe with this storm. I did get wind damage from Helene and This storm is the worst I have seen as it’s supposed to cross the whole state into the Atlantic as a cat 2; even Disney is closed thru Thursday, and cape Canaveral .where space x launches from , is in the direct path as well and cruises leaving from port canaveral are beung cancelled or changed.
its a bad time in Florida now and any prayers are appreciated. Many people will lose everything because they can’t afford insurance. I know we will have power outages and storm surge ( i live in zone b and over half of my county south of St. Augustine is under mandatory evacuation. ) and my ISP has stated we will have outages. Lived here since moving from Ohio in 1985 , and this is the most concern for widespread damage I have experienced since moving here.
To make it worse , I have been ill with some abdominal issues , so I can’t travel right now. During the bills loss to the ravens , I got an emergency call from my sister in Ohio telling me my 98 year old mom had passed away unexpectedly while in rehab for a head laceration after falling. She couldn’t go straight back to home because she had so much bleeding , her bedroom carpet had to be removed and it was taking time to clean it out and replace it. She was supposed to make it back home where she was still living independently. Something went wrong and we didn’t get her back to her own home like we promised. My father had passed in 2002 and I made many friends on here talking about him ( like 89 and cablelady) and even tho mom was 98 , it was a shock and still a very terrible, unexpected loss.
Her funeral / burial took place Thursday before the Texans game. She was a great friend , buckeye and Bills fan, and I convinced her and my father to be Bills fans as we attended SB 28 in Atlanta together , cuz I knew we couldn’t lose 4 in a row. 😏🥹. So we never got to experience that BILLS SB WIN before she passed. Even at my age of 67 , it still is a huge loss of a great part of my life , and it feels much different now with both parents gone. I can’t call and talk about our crazy Bills losses with her anymore. You never can replace your parents as they are your only source of unconditional love , so enjoy every moment and Bills games with them while possible. Sorry , I didn’t intend this to be a lamp , but with this massive hurricane coming , life can change forever in a day and I’m a little emotional still.
So with all that going on , hurricane Helene came , and now Milton is bearing down on Florida as its wind field has already doubled as it heads to the state. Our part , Jacksonville area , is expected to get heavy rain , wind gusts and some storm surge as the St. John’s river will be inundated and flood. But my prayers are for those on the west coast and central part of the state. This strength of storm could change parts of Florida forever. It’s been such a stressful time , yet the next 24-48 hours are.beginning to already cause issues with traffic jams , long gas lines, people saying goodbye to their homes possibly for the last time , and the rain bands are starting to hit. Imagine trying to move family , kids , pets , all with just a couple of days notice. The roads are jammed as you can see on YouTube , as people are fleeing.
So please keep Floridians in mind as fellow BILLS fans and friends, and later if you can help with things like the Red Cross etc, please think about it as fema has been little support and you have all rallied for causes in the past. Many will need help and IF you can all give a little support it will be a huge help. It is a lot of stress as I know there will be lots of damage from a probable historic storm. Stay safe getting out of evacuation zones and we can pray for this storm to lessen and keep the loss of life down. Here’s hoping we will all be around watching the BIlls get back to being right and beat the unstable, unlikeable , crazy jets. ! Go Bills ! 😊✌️. And mom, I really miss you.I am sorry for all that you are going through. Hang tough, and may God bless you and your loved ones through these sad, frightening times.

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon be your tomorrow
