Some good stuff here…hope you’ll remind us as the dates get closer, Ken!

[Deggesty]

And if the Wildcats lose the Gator Bowl, will all of this be canceled?[:)]

[blownout_cylinder]

I’d like to check those out…remind us when it gets closer!!

[greyhounds]

And if the Wildcats lose the Gator Bowl, will all of this be canceled?

What an awful thought! How could you even think of such a thing?

Got it all planned out. Going to have a nice warm fire going, lots of cold Becks Dark on hand, and order my favorite from Antioch Pizza - bacon, anchovies, mushrooms and black olives.

Then I’ll sit back and watch the Cats pounce.

If the unthinkable were to happen, I’m certain the school would continue on as before. I’m not so sure about myself.

All Star Lineup!

Those 3pm starts really are tough for me, but it might be time to make exceptions.

Quoting Greyhounds: “What an awful thought! How could you even think of such a thing?”

Because I support most of the Southeastern Conference teams–though the one I really want to win did not do well at all this year; #2 and #3 (in my estimation) did very well, and #3 may be the next national champion.[:)]

I hope this does not lead to the locking of the thread.[:)]

Who cares about the Gator Bowl? The only game that matters on January 1 is the Orange Bowl!!

Say I hear that the Beer connoisseurs say that now with Beck’s owned by a multinational brewer, the beer is no longer imported from Bremen, but rather brewed in the US, and it tastes like it.

I’m pretty sure I’m not a beer connoisseur. Backs dark taste the same to me. Anyway, I had a good day - and I’m going to remember it with joy.

St. Pauli Girl is still brewed in Bremen. In the Beck’s Brewery.
