dude, everybody knows that you can't leave a paper trail when making death threats.

lulz.

eat balls gaytor nation.

in other news, i was just offered free tix to the game. think i'm gonna go, only problem is that my buddy with the tickets is a fucking gaytor. it could get ugly.
 
Time to die bitch lol sounds like a line from a bad horror flick. Florida may be in trouble they really cant afford to lose anymore playmakers. Tennesee is gonna be pumped after the assbeating last week and all the shit they have been hearing about Florida. Its gonna be an interesting game.

i still don't know what to think about tennessee, or florida for that matter.

i think we have a lot of talent, we're just young/inexperienced and we don't have any depth. seems like florida is in a similar situation to us actually.

you bammers sure do look good though.

There was a joke on the ESPN comments how he was meaning to text "Time to diet bitch" but spelling like that is par for our conference athletes ;)

As for losing playmakers.....did you know.... Rainey got a concussion early in the first half, and didn't play the rest of the game? Now, he's one of our top players, but the point I'm making is the team finally clicked and turned it on *after* he was out of the lineup. Purely coincidence, but comforting for us to know.

Also, TN can be as pumped as they want, they are up for another assbeating this week. ;)

Honestly, I think I'd like to go to a game at Neyland some day. Supposed to be an awesome experience, though I doubt I'd find even a non-Gator-hating boat to ride in the armada :\ Still, history, natural beauty*, and general love of football = a pretty good place to catch a game. I just would want to ensure I was going when FLA was heavily favored** (not like now, where it's only 2 touchdowns and there are too many questions on both sides), so I could fully enjoy the experience.



*I did have the opportunity to drive thru TN a few times, and I will stand by the statement that it is indeed a beautiful state for natural scenery.

**I also went to the FLA@LSU game when we were ranked #1, and they beat us....tearing down their goalposts. :\ 2005, LSU 21 - UF 17. After a looooong day of drinking, that was an awfully looooooong drive home that night; after we had arranged to stay in town for the weekend, we quickly decided to gtfo right after the game.
 
yea man, neyland rules. great experience all around.

i remember when my wife and i were dating, i took her to the FLA game in 2006 when ya'll were pretty heavily favored and you beat us 21 to 20. we almost had you and really should have won that game. that place was as rowdy as i've ever seen it. she instantly fell in love with not only going to games, but the vols in general.

i also think it's a pretty classy place for visiting fans, similar to tuscaloosa. athens sucks, for the most part i can't stand their fans. of course, there are bad apples at all sec home games but athens and lsu stick out as the worst IMO.

anyway, i got fucking wedding'd. i have a god damn wedding to go to on saturday at 6:30, so i won't be attending or even watching the whole game.

i'm beyond pissed.

VOLS BITCH!
 
I am waiting for the Suck-Eye fans to go on about their stadium experience ;)

But now that we're on it, I would have to say FLA's isn't that awesome. Yes, it's 90k+ people (noted below the 100k of several Big10+2 schools) and the structure is shaped more to hold the sound in and make it deafening (FL-FSU was one of the most intense experiences of my life, seriously), but all in all it's kinda 'meh' in my mind. Admittedly, I grew up going when the stadium was empty, and watched several additions to increase capacity and size, and having been there for 30 yrs, one becomes oblivious to the grandness of things to the point of perhaps taking them for granted. But even with the tailgating, the recent addition of the Gator Walk (players thru the fans), and all the bars so close to the stadium....it's still a pretty 'meh' experience.

Now, for a country bumpkin redneck - yeah, it might be impressive; especially the energy and enthusiasm of the fans. But for a real college fan, with experience in other stadiums, I don't think I'd put UF on your list of places you need to visit. Neyland? Maybe. Horseshoe? Maybe, probably (been there, but it was closed :\ and not a gameday). Big House in Ann Arbor? Maybe, probably (been there, walked the field, not a gameday).

Actually, running down the SEC stadiums in my mind:
FLA - no
UGA - maybe, no.
KY - no.
USCe - no (though, I **HIGHLY** recommend eating at "California Dreaming" if you do go ;) ).
Vandy - hell no
TN - maybe, probably
JAX - for FLA vs UGA, hell yes.
--
AL - probably, but I don't have much basis for my opinion
AU - hell no (buddies went once, there is *nothing* there)
MISS - no
MSU - no (needs less cowbell)
LSU - Yes (again, history and food sway my opinion here)
ARK - no (no basis for opinion)

Others?
USCw - probably, for the history of the location as much as the program (and to cheer for the other team =D )
Penn State - probably, for the history (and my wife is insistent we have to go at some point :| This Florida boy is not interested in freezing his ass off :| )
Cotton Bowl - TX vs OU, absolutely would love to, especially as it ties with the state fair (why is food so important to me?)
NEB - probably, for the history, and to see if there is anything there besides cornfields ;)

..... I think that's about all of them I'd recommend/want-to-see.
 
we've been doing the vol walk for years at UT, just sayin.

and honestly, i'll go to a game anywhere. well, i probably wouldn't want to go to either penn state or OSU because of the douchenozzle factor. i'd probably stay away from WVU as well.

i've never been to the swamp, but i'd love to go at some point. i have an opportunity to go to the cocktail party this year and i'm up in the air. considering i loathe both programs i'll probably just watch it on tv.

in my experiences of stadiums in the SEC that i've been to it's like this:

- neyland
- bammer
- allbern
- columbia
- kentucky
- vandy (aka: little neyland)
as a vol fan, it's fun going to the vandy game because we out number their fans every year.

i've been to a couple of pac 10 games.

ASU was terrible but i did get to see the Cal/OR game in berkley and that was fun as shit. cool stadium and all around cool people for the most part.
 
I had friends attend a UF game at Vandy. They said the concession vendors outnumbered the VAN fans, to the point where the stadium speaker system was used to pipe in fake cheering and crowd noise.

In my younger days, I'd have been more up for any game, any where.....now, I'm old. I pay for the satellite package so I can sit at home and watch all the games I want, from the comfort of my chair, with the fireplace going, unlimited refreshment and cheaper food.

i definitely agree with this.

it can be a huge pain in the ass and i'm always scared of getting a DUI.
 
Used to be a GIF in the LOUNGE thread about a bucket of chicken running downfield in a game, and the players were chasing it. Someone updated it with Phil Fulmer ;)

that's fucking awesome.

fulmer really must be sitting back in his chair laughing about the state of our program.
 
nothing has beaten a game in the Horseshoe in Columbus, and I have been to many Big Ten and professional football/soccer stadiums. in size (108kish - they CRAM you in there, kinda sucks), in style (it looks like a Roman Coliseum), and in sheer spirit (yelling, drunk people) it is has been unsurpassed.

Michigan's Big House used to be awesome when they were relevant. it's kinda weird because it is big, but yet it seems that some of it is built underground - so it doesn't look quite as big as it actually is when you walk up to it
 
Tuscaloosa is a good place to see a game even if your not a bama fan the fans are very respectful towards visitors. I think it has something to do with us sucking nuts for 10 years in the late 90s early 200s
 
one thing I don't jive with on game day in Columbus is how some Buckeyes fan can treat visiting fans. I like to make funny comments as much as the next guy, but I befriended a Miami fan who got his tooth knocked in half. granted, he went to a bar called The Frat House and stirred up some trouble, but not enough to warrant getting punched in the face. I advise all people to think before they speak upon entering Columbus for a game. usually people who look different like myself receive the wraith of the neanderthal fans - but on game day they hate YOU.

and other examples like OSU fans driving by and cursing at an old Texas Longhorn couple at the bus stop. it really is a hostile, hostile environment

oh, how i miss those days.

and yea, axl that's what i've heard from folks about OSU games. great stadium, would be a lot of fun but only if you're an OSU fan. which i'm not.

my 65 year old mother once got called a cunt leaving a UGA game. fuck athens.
 
facepalm.

One thing that sucks about going to an SEC school. Even if they expected me to have at least 1200 on my SAT to let me in in 2000, you still have to share it with people who could barely sign their name 25 years ago on fall Saturdays.
 
OK, it's Thursday, so there are games a startin' tonight. Let's take a look at Week 3:

THUR
7:30 PM ET Cincinnati at North Carolina State (-2) - Worth watching? Um...no.

FRI
8:00 PM ET Kansas at Southern Miss (-5.5) - really? KAN is the underdog? This does not bode well for GT, and the ACC in general.
10:00 PM ET California at Nevada (+3) - Yawn.

SAT
12:00 PM ET No. 12 Arkansas at Georgia (-2.5) - UGA needs a win in the worst way. They are favored, but I don't know if they can stop ARK offense. I'm going with ARK on this one, not just to cover, but to win.
3:30 PM ET No. 1 Alabama at Duke (+24) - OOC against another BCS conference!!! ...um, yeah. 8) AL by more than 24.
3:30 PM ET No. 10 Florida at Tennessee (+14) - FL wins, 28-10...ish.
3:30 PM ET No. 18 USCw at Minnesota (+12) - I really want to pull for MIN, but they can't even beat directional schools from the Dakotas. :\ I at least hope they can cover the spread, and weaken USCw's reputation in the polls a bit more.
3:30 PM ET Brigham Young at Florida State (-10) - FSU is favored in this one....but I'm not sure. Yeah, they'll be fired up from getting their asses whooped by OU, and BYU is facing the long flight...but I'm not sure they have enough to pull this off. I'll say FSU wins, but it's something close - either no offense (14-9) or no defense (38-28).
8:00 PM ET No. 6 Texas at Texas Tech (+3) - wow, a close line for #6 vs unranked....and I'll go with TT in this one (to cover AND win).
8:00 PM ET Notre Dame at Michigan State - Um, yeah, MSU please? Let's see another ND loss. I'll guess 17-13.
10:30 PM ET No. 9 Iowa at No. 24 Arizona (+1.5) - another OOC against BCS Conference teams.....let's say Iowa pulls away in this one, 27-14.
11:15 PM ET Wake Forest at No. 19 Stanford (-17) - Brain Bowl!! This might be fun, considering WF's scoring last weeks game (WF 54 - Duke 48), but throw in jet-lag and the loss Stanford is trying to come back from...who knows? At least the brainiacs have something to watch while studying no Saturday night :) I'll go with the home team to win, but not cover, 28-35.
