Gotta love them 'puter polls:


The good news for the Buckeyes is the computer ratings make up just one-third of the formula, with the USA Today coaches poll and the Harris Interactive poll being the other two-thirds. In those votes, OSU is the overwhelming No. 1 this week, followed by Southern California and Florida.

But in the four computer rankings available yesterday — six are used — the Buckeyes were No. 1 only on the Richard Billingsley list. The top five in the rankings available were as follows:

• Billingsley: Ohio State, Southern Cal, Michigan, Florida and West Virginia.

• Kenneth R. Massey: Southern Cal, Florida, Ohio State, Michigan and Arkansas.

• Jeff Sagarin: Southern Cal, Ohio State, Florida, Michigan and Arkansas.

• Colley Matrix: Southern Cal, Ohio State, Florida, Michigan and Notre Dame.

This week’s ratings from the computer of Anderson and Hester (a k a, Seattle Times poll) weren’t out yet. Last week, OSU was No. 1, followed by USC. The ratings from Dr. Peter Wolfe won’t be released until next week, coinciding with the first official BCS rankings.

Vegas vs. BCS

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2006/10/should_vegas_take_over_the_bcs.html


I talked to LVSC senior oddsmaker Mike Seba a few minutes ago, and told him that I thought the oddsmakers poll would likely be more accurate than the AP or the coaches or the Harris people.

"Good man," he said. "You're right. When you look at some of the polls from year to year, it just makes you sick sometimes to see where some of these teams are rated. Whereas we know if you matched two teams up on a neutral field, who would be the favorite. It depends on who they played, and where they played, and when they played. Our livelihood depends on it, whereas these guys voting in the AP, they may care less, they could spend five minutes looking at it. We want to send out the best possible number for these games to our clients, and to do that we really spend a lot of time looking at these teams and their results and their injuries and coming up with a value for each team....When you see the AP poll or the coaches poll, sometimes you just look at it and shake your head."

I asked another LSVC oddsmaker, Sean Van Patten, whether the OddsMakers Top 25 would be a better guide for picking the national champion than the various polls.

"I would say so, yeah," he said, "because theirs is basically based on record, and that's pretty much it. Our guys, they rate out the defense, the offense, so really their numbers are more of an indicator of how good those teams are. And, of course, it's all done for betting purposes, but that's really the telltale sign: is a team three points better or is it three points worse?"

Check out the unfortunate travails of former Univ. of Colorado QB Brian White. :rofl:


The Buffs' futility has created one statistical oddity. Brian White, who started the season as Colorado's backup quarterback, left the team just after they fell to I-AA Montana State. White transferred to Portland State, which, because it's a I-AA school, meant he was immediately eligible.

Last weekend, White completed 2-of-7 passes for 34 yards as the Vikings fell to -- you guessed it -- Montana State. Meaning White had managed to lose to the same team twice in the same season with two different schools. Those, by the way, two of just three wins for the Bobcats, who are working furiously to facilitate another transfer for White as we speak.

I love the ending zinger

Well I would agree with you granted our team does not change until then. However I think our problems are pretty evident and can be fixed for the most part.

1. The play calling on the passing game is pretty poor and predicable. I understand after losing our first 3 fullbacks they probalby don't want to run as much. But if you saw our alst driver versus ASU where we just pounded the ball down the field behind our big o-line and with 230 pound Chauncy Washington you will see what our O should look like. This should be complemented with getting the ball to our big recievers when oposing D's start palying the run more.

2. On Defense our pass defense is lacking again, but I don't think it is due to our secondary as much as it is due to the 3-4 we are running. We have good LBs but they are not great Pass rushers off the line. They just are not strong enough. They are great for running down RBs to the corner but we have not had a sack for along time now. Stanback and Brink had all day to throw. Carpenter had a little more pressure, probably due to a weaker OL. So I think we will see the team go back to the 4-3.

Lou Holtz also picked Penn State to beat Michigan. He probably wasn't counting on this happening twice:

http://espn-i.starwave.com/media/apphoto/a39f660e-259a-4dc7-95e4-952557e2adc5.jpg

If you're playing Michigan, your offensive line better be ready. Penn State's quarterbacks were sacked 7 times, and knocked around I don't even know how many more times. Two Penn State QBs ended up getting pulled because they were groggy after the repeated poundings.

I'd be very surprised if Michigan-Ohio State doesn't become the real national championship game.

:rofl: :rofl:




After Saturday's 35-7 victory over Bowling Green, Ohio State has now won 23 straight games over teams from the state of Ohio. It's not that surprising, given that OSU doesn't have much in-state competition for recruits. What's surprising is that the last team from Ohio to beat the Buckeyes was not Cincinnati, Toledo or Miami. It wasn't even Akron, Bowling Green, Kent State or Ohio. It was Oberlin College -- now a Division III football program -- on Oct. 8, 1921.

In case you're curious, that's the second-longest active winning streak by a Division I-A program over the rest of its state. Nebraska has won 47 straight games against competition from the Cornhusker State since a 12-0 loss to Doane in 1894. That streak includes wins over such powers as Creighton, Nebraska-Kearney, Hastings and Grand Island, not to mention Lincoln High School and the Omaha YMCA. If these opponents sound ridiculous, there's a reason. Nebraska hasn't played any of them since 1924.

No bandwagon jumping here, I can't push myself to be grouped into the 'smart gator fan' class of ignoramuses that believe that Urban and Tebow are God and his fellow right hand man baby Jesus. The vast majority of UF fans think the '96 team was a calling from the almighty, and that Urban and Tebow are the 2nd coming.

In my opinion, the people who loved the '96 team, forgot how EMBARASSED the '95 team was when 'crappy running squad' Nebraska stomped all over them. Then the next year they still lost a game, still had to luck into the National Championship game with OSU's help and beat an overrated FSU. all in my opinion.

Meanwhile, I still was going for Ohio State and Joe Germaine. What you know about that 1997 Rose Bowl :)

WaaaaBurn at it agian. They don't seem to understand OCC Schedueling is what is killing them. Playing a bunch of 1-AA teams at home just becuase you play in the SEC does not convince the computers.

Even though the current #1 in the SEC gave up 50 points at home to a pac-10 team that people here think is worse then Cal, ND and Oregon. :gomer

@Dando, how amny home games do you guys have this year?


Associated Press

AUBURN, Ala. -- Tommy Tuberville thinks his Auburn team and the rest of the Southeastern Conference will be stuck watching the BCS national title game on TV.

The eighth-ranked Tigers were the highest rated SEC team in the first Bowl Championship Series Standings released Sunday at No. 4. But with Auburn knocking off the league's last unbeaten team with a 27-17 win over Florida, Tuberville thinks it likely bumps the SEC out of the national title picture barring a few upsets.

"Every year, it's going to be like this," Tuberville said Sunday. "Until we get a playoff, the SEC's going to be on the outside looking in."

The Tigers (6-1, 4-1) were a distant fourth behind Ohio State, Southern California and Michigan. Tuberville, an outspoken critic of the current system, doubts that a one-loss SEC team would land in the BCS title game over an unbeaten team from another major conference.

"I don't think it will ever happen," he said. "I think people are enamored by not losing, rather than voting on who the best teams are. That's what I do. Of course, you've got to look at the wins and losses, but you've got to look at who they lost to, where they lost and how they came back.

"The national champion to me is the best team at the end of the year, not the team that goes through their schedule [unbeaten]. I might be the only one to think that way."

Tuberville has a fairly unique perspective on the situation because his team went 13-0 two years ago, but watched as USC and Oklahoma played for the title. Auburn finished No. 2.

"After going through what we went through two years ago, I'd hate to think that anybody would get left out of playing for a championship after going undefeated," Tuberville said.

"But it's got to be a legitimate undefeated," he added.

Five of the seven unbeaten teams in the AP Top 25 are ranked ahead of the Tigers. Behind them are No. 18 Boise State and No. 19 Rutgers.

"I would like to see people vote for the best teams, not by records," Tuberville said. "Legitimately say, 'Hey, is this team better? They might have lost a game, but are they better than a team that's won all of them?' I vote that way."

Tuberville said he would campaign with his fellow voters on the coaches poll if Auburn winds up going 12-1 and winning the SEC title.

"That's what the system's about," he said. "I get calls all the time. I think it's important that you stand up for your team."

I think they should either be fired or not fired based on their individual histories and patterns, and the two are not really related. I can't speak as to FI because I don't know anything about them. Note how FI kicked players off the team and extended the suspensions on other players. Based on past exprience, I would not expect Miami to follow suit.

Back in the 90s the alumni were all calling for reform (except for a few gangster alum in the NFL) after a Cotton Bowl with Texas when something like 15 personal fouls were called. Regretably they won anyway, but the alumni were embarrassed.

Well they are still embarrassed, and with good reason.

I just hope ex U assistant Schiano doesn't feel the need to answer the call to clean up that mess. He's running a great program at Rutgers and they are giving him everything he's asked for.

DQ is correct, FIU kicked some players off the team and has indefinitely suspended everyone else. FIU has handled it properly.

Miami, however, just went with the ACC 1 game suspension (vs. Duke :laugh: ) and only made it 2 games for helmet swinger, not Merriweather who was seen doing Riverdance front & center.

also get this, apparently Miami-Dade PD had a "kids night out" at the game to promote "join a team over a gang," over 700 kids brought to that game :eek:

There is a reason they don't sell out, and why you don't see many of those 70k median household families at the Orange Bowl even when they are winning and not stomping on the other teams heads.

smaller private school, small fanbase, no history beyond 1983

smaller private school, small fanbase, no history beyond 1983

huge fanbase, few knowledgable fans. most are 'smart hurricane fans' and only show up in the ghetto when there isn't a P. Diddy party in south beach.:p

I wouldn't say the sportsmanship history since '83 is very good either. they've won a lot, cheated more, and had more problems than any other school(imo) since they started gettng good in the 80's. :thumdown: Never have been a fan of the University of Miami in Florida.

[Ankf00]

a "fanbase" of posers around the country doesn't count as a "true" fanbase.

they aren't college football fans, they don't care about who's going to be the next coach, who they're recruiting, who's on the schedule. they're just posers.

they're never going to be at a home game, they're never going to plan on going to a home game, going to a game in the future if they're ever visiting Florida in the fall is not on their list of things to possibly do.



small fanbase.

[coolhand]

Never have been a fan of the University of Miami in Florida.

But I am sure you have been a fan of many other teams. Miami is a small private school that like the other Florida schools has only a recent history of the late 80s and throguh the 90s of being powers. They don't have a Notre Dame fanbase or even a USC sized one.


Miami like the rest of the rest state of Florida is blah.

I've been a fan of 3 teams. OSU cause I lived in Dublin, Ohio most of my life, FSU cause I went to there my first 2 years, and UF cause I went there the last 3 years. Going to UF/FSU really makes for strange feelings during the year, I end those by fully embracing OSU. It's what I've done since I was a kid but thanks for asking.

Also, flew up to OSU in Jan of 2003 to party with friends and visit OSU while going to FSU. So yes, I flew up to CMH to watch a game in Tempe.

The entire state of FLA historically underachieves. I don't hide that or deflect it.

UF lucked into their 1 and only national championship. pathetic.
Miami's record is nice, but their sportsmanship and attitude is disenchanting.
FSU has great history, but Jeff Bowden makes me vomit for what the team could be if not for nepotism.

What is your excuse for the pathetic USC teams, and pathetic PAC-10 teams when you have an even larger talent pool than Texas or FLA teams? I can't wait to hear this backpeddling. . .

But since I've liked OSU since I moved to Ohio at 18 months old, I think you don't know what the hell you are referring to. However, thanks once again for the concern.

As far as new coaches, I would bet Tubberville & Butch Davis are higher on the list than Schiano.


I hope you are right, but rumors in Jersey is that the U is trying to lure him back.

He is very well connected to HS coaches in FL and Jersey and it has greatly helped him recruit from those states. That is an ability often overlooked if your program is not well thought of as either competitive or ethical.

He is a coach who apologized the one time he cursed at his players and he demands the same of his team. He has crafted a team of selfless contributors and does not tolerate big egos.

Last week against Navy he pulled Rice just seven yards short of a record setting eight straight 100 yard games. He let Rice know that he knew he was close to the record but wanted to save him in an otherwise blowout game. The kid said, "That's OK, I just want to win."

Refreshing. I could see why Miami might want some of that.

So Shalala is on Mike & Mike this AM defending the suspensions, and it turns out she hasn't even seen the tape of the incident. :irked: WTF? How can you defend your actions whn you haven't even seen the evidence?!? :saywhat:

Either she hasn't seen it, which is inexcusable, or she has seen it and is lying, which is inexcusable.:shakehead

Everyone on planet has seen it, how is it that the one person responsible for disciplining the team and players has yet to see it?

She openly admitted to not watching it during a press conference yesterday, and had to call the show back to clarify a comment she made stating 'we watched it frame-by-frame.' She's a politico, so the ignorance is almost understandable. :saywhat: :shakehead :(

An oldie, but a goodie. For Ank from my friends at the super secret husker board.


University of Texas fan on Game Day
A chronology of events for Saturday, December 4, 1999, and the early morning hours of Sunday, December 5, 1999:
6:00 Arise, play the Eyes of Texas and Texas Fight at full-freaking blast

6:20 Get in car, drive to New Braunfels

7:30 Tee off (me and a buddy were the FIRST tee-time of the morning)

8:50 Turn 9 (crack open first beer)



8:53 Crack open second beer

8:58 Crack open...(you get the idea)

10:30 Finish 18 (holes, as well as beers), sign scorecard for smoooooth 95

10:35 Headed for San Antonio (Alamodome - Nebraska vs Texas)

10:50 Buy three 18-packs for pre- and post-game festivities

11:10 We decide we don't have enough booze, so we double-back to a liquor store and buy the good ol' 750 ml plastic bottle "Traveler" Jim Beam

11:50 Arrive at the tailgate spot. Awesome day. Not a single cloud in the sky. About 70 degrees.

11:55 I decide that we're going to kick the ***** out of Nebraska.

11:56 I tell my first Nebraska fan to go f!!k himself.

12:15 The UT band walks by on the way to the Alamodome. We're on the second floor of a two-story parking garage on the corner (a couple hundred of us). We're hooting and hollering like wildmen. The band doubles back to the street right below us and serenades us with Texas Fight and The Eyes of Texas. AWESOME MOMENT.

12:25 In the post-serenade serendipity, 50-100 grown men are bumping chests with one another, each and every one of them now secure and certain of the fact that we are going to kick the ***** out of Nebraska.

1:00 The Nebraska band walks by on the way to the Alamodome. Again, we hoot and holler like wildmen. Again, the band doubles back and stops right below us to serenade us, this time, however, with the Nebraska fight songs. Although somewhat impressed by their spirit and verve, we remain convinced that we are going to kick the ***** out of Nebraska.

1:30 I begin the walk to the Alamodome, somehow managing to stuff the "Traveler" and 11 cans of beer into my pants.

1:47 I am in line surrounded by Nebraska fans. They are taunting me. I am taunting back, still certain that we are going to kick the ***** out of Nebraska. I decide to challenge a particularly vocal Nebraska fan to play what I now call and will forever be remembered as "Cell-Phone Flop Out." Remember flop out for a dollar? The rules are similar. I tell this Nebraska jackass that if he's so confident in his team, he should "flop out" his cell phone RIGHT NOW and make plane reservations to Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl. And then I spoke these memorable words: "And not those damn refundable tickets, either! You request those non-refundable, non-transferrable sons-of-b!tches!" He backs down. He is unworthy. I call Southwest Airlines and buy two tickets to Phoenix, non-refundable and non-transferrable. Price: $712. He is humbled. He lowers his head in shame. I raise my cell phone in triumph to the cheers of hundreds of Texas fans. I am KING and these are my subjects. I distribute the 11 beers in my pants to the cheering masses. I RULE the pre-game kingdom.

2:34 Kickoff. Brimming with confidence, I open the Traveler and pour my first stiffy.

2:45 I notice something troubling: Nebraska is big. Nebraska is fast. Nebraska is very pissed off at Texas.

3:01 The first quarter mercifully ends. 9 yards total offense for Texas. Zero first downs for Texas. I'm still talking *****. I pour another stiffy from the Traveler.

3:36 Four minutes to go in the first half: the Traveler is a dead soldier. I buy my first $5 beer from the Alamodome merchants. While I am standing in line, a center snap nearly decapitates Major Applewhite and rolls out of the end zone. Safety.

3:56 Halftime score: Nebraska 15, Texas 0. I wish I had another Traveler.

4:11 While urinating next to a Nebraska fan in the bathroom at halftime, I attempt to revive the classic Brice- ism from the South Bend bathroom: "Hey, buddy, niiiiiiiiice c**k." He is unamused.

4:21 I buy my 2nd and 3rd $5 beer from the Alamodome merchants. I share my beer with two high school girls sitting behind me. Surprisingly, they are equipped with a flask full of vodka. I send them off to purchase Sprites, so that we may consume their vodka. I have not lost faith. Nebraska is a bunch of pu$$ies.

4:51 No more vodka. The girls sitting behind me have fled for their lives. I purchase two more $5 beers from the Alamodome merchants.

5:18 Score is Nebraska 22, Texas 0. I am beginning to lose faith. This normally would trouble me, but I am too drunk to see the football field.

5:27 I call Southwest Airlines: "I'm sorry, sir. Those tickets have been confirmed and are non-refundable and non-transferrable."

5:37 I try to start a fight with every person behind the concession counter. As it turns out, the Alamodome has a policy that no beer can be sold when there is less than 10 minutes on the game clock. I am enraged by this policy. I ask loudly: "Why the f**k didn't you announce last call over the f**king PA system??!!"

5:49 Back in my seats, I am slumped in my chair in defeat. All of a sudden, the Texas crowd goes absolutely nuts. "Whazzis?," I mutter, awaking from my coma, "Iz we winnig? Did wez scort?" Alas, the answer is > > >>no, we were not winning and we did not score. The largest (by far) cheer of the day from the Texas faithful occurred when the handlers were walking back to the tunnel and Bevo (the Texas mascot) stopped to take a gargantuan ***** all over the letters "S", "K",and "A" in the "Nebraska" spelled out in their end zone. I cheer wildly. I pick up the empty Traveler bottle and stick my tongue in it. I am thirsty.

6:16 Nebraska fans are going berserk as I walk back to the truck. I would taunt them with some off-color remarks about their parentage, but I am too drunk to form complete sentences. With my last cognitive thought of the evening, I take solace in the fact that if we had not beaten them in October, they would be playing Florida State for the national championship.

6:30 Back in the car. On the way back to Austin for the basketball game.

8:00 Texas-Arizona tip off. We can still salvage the day! I crack open a beer. It is warm. I don't care.

7:12 We have stopped for gas. I am hungry. I go inside the store. I walk past the beer frig. I notice a Zima. I've never had a Zima. I wonder if it's any good. I pull a Zima from the frig. I twist the top off and drink the Zima in three swallows. Zima sucks. I replace the empty bottle in the frig.

7:17 There is a Blimpie Subs in the store. I walk to where the ingredients are, where the person usually makes the sub. There is no one there. I lean over the counter and scoop out half a bucket of black olives. I eat them. I am still hungry. I lean further over the counter and grab approximately two pounds of Pastrami. I walk out of the store grunting and eating Pastrami. The patrons in the store fear me. I don't care.

8:01 We are in South Austin. I have been drinking warm beer and singing Brooks and Dunn tunes for over an hour. My truck-mate is tired of my singing. He suggests that perhaps Brooks and Dunn have written other good songs besides "You're Going to Miss Me When I'm Gone" and "Neon Moon" and that maybe listening to only those two songs, ten times each was a bit excessive. Perhaps, he suggests, Icould just let the CD play on its own. I tell him to f**k off and restart "Neon Moon."

8:30 We arrive at the Erwin Center. My truckmate, against my loud and profane protestations, parks on the top floor of a nearby parking garage. I tell him he's an idiot. I tell him we will never get out. I tell him we may as well pitch a f**king tent here. He ignores me. I think he's still pissed about the Brooks and Dunn tunes. I whistle "Neon Moon" loudly.

8:47 I am rallying. I have 4 warm beers stuffed in my pants. We're going to kick the ***** out of Arizona.

9:11 Halftime score: Texas 31, Arizona 29. I am pleased. I go to the bathroom to pee for the 67th time today. I giggle to myself because of the new opportunity to do "the bathroom Brice." There are no Arizona fans in the bathroom. I am disappointed. I tell myself (out loud) that I have a "Niiiiiice c****." No one is amused but me.

9:41 I walk to the bathroom while drinking Bud Light out of a can. Needless to say, they do not sell beer at the Erwin Center,much less Bud Light out of a can. I am stopped by an usher: "Where did you get that, sir?" I tell him (no *****): "Oh, the cheerleaders were throwing them up with those little plastic footballs. Would you mind throwing this away for me?" I take the last swig and hand it to him. He is confused. I pretend I'm going to the bathroom, but I run away giggling instead. I duck into some entrance to avoid the usher, who is now pursuing me. I sneak into a large group of people and sit down. The usher walks by harmlessly. I am giggling like a little girl. I crack open another can of Bud Light.

9:52 I am lost. In my haste to avoid the usher, I have lost my bearings. I have no ticket stub. I cannot find my seats. Texas is losing.

10:09 Texas is being screwed by the refs. I am enraged. I have cleared out the seats around me because I keep removing my hat and beating the surrounding chairs with it. A concerned fan asks if I'm OK and perhaps I shouldn't take it so seriously. I tell him to f**k off.

10:15 After the fourth consecutive "worst f**king call I have EVER seen, " I attempt to remove my hat again to begin beating inanimate objects. However, on this occasion I miscalculate and I thumbnail myself in my left eyelid, leaving a one-quarter inch **** over my eye. I am now bleeding into my left eye and all over my shirt. "Perhaps," I think to myself, I'm taking this a bit seriously."

10:22 I am standing in the bathroom peeing. I'm so drunk I am swaying and grunting. I have a bloody napkin pressed on my left eye. My pants are bloody. I have my (formerly) white shirt wrapped around my waist. I look like I should be in an episode of Cops.

10:43 Texas has lost. I put my bloody white shirt back on my body and make my way for the exits. I am stopped every 20 seconds by a good samaritan/cop/security guard to ask me why I am covered in blood, but I merely grunt incoherently and keep moving.

10:59 With my one good eye, I have located the parking garage. I walk up six flights of stairs, promise that when I see my friend I will punch him in the face for making me walk up six flights of stairs, find the truck, and collapse in a heap in the bed of the truck. I look around and notice that traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights, and no one is moving. I take a nap.

11:17 I awake from my nap. I see my friend in the driver's seat. I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights, and no one is moving. I am too tired to punch my friend. I call my friend a "Stupid c**ksucker."

11:31 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights, and no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid c**ksucker."

11:38 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights, and no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid c**ksucker."

11:47 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights, and no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid c**ksucker."

11:58 I am jostled. The truck is moving. I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that traffic is beginning to move on the second floor. I jump out of the truck, walk to the edge of the parking facility, and pee off the sixth floor onto the street below. My friend looks at me like I just anally violated his minor sister. I turn around pee on the front of his truck while singing the lyrics to "Neon Moon."

12:11 We are moving. We are out of beer. I jump from the truck and go from vehicle to vehicle until someone gives me two beers. I am happy. I return to my vehicle

12:26 We have emerged from the parking facility. We make our way to my apartment and find Ed sitting on the couch with a freshly opened bottle of Glenlivet on the coffee table in front of him. We are all going to die tonight.

12:59 We have finished three-quarters of the bottle of Glenlivet. We decide it would be a wonderful idea to go dancing at PollyEsther's. Ed has to pee. He walks down the hall to our apartment and directly into the full length mirror at the end of the hall, smashing it into hundreds of pieces. We giggle uncontrollably and leave for PollyEsther's.

1:17 The PollyEsther's doorman laughs uncontrollably at our efforts to enter his club. "Fellas," he says in between his fits of spastic laughter, "I've been working this door for almost a year. I've been working doors in this town for almost 5 years. And I can honestly say that I ain't never seen three drunker mother f**kers than you three. Sorry, can't let you in." We attempt to reason with him. He laughs harder.

1:44 We find a bar that lets us in. We take two steps in the door and hear "Last call for alcohol!" I turn to the group and mutter: "See, dat wasn't that f**kin' hard. Day don't f**kin' do that at the Awamo...the awaom...the alab...f**k it, that stadium we was at today..." We order 6shots of tequila and three beers.

2:15 Back on the street. We need food. We hail cab to take us the two and one half blocks to Denny's. The cab fare is $1.60. We give him $10 and tell him to keep it.

2:17 There is a 20 minute wait. We give the hostess $50. We are seated immediately.

2:25 We order two orders of fried pickles, a Cobb salad, a bowl of soup, two orders of Blueberry blintzes, two Reuben sandwiches, a hamburger, two cheese stuffed potatoes, an order of fries, and an order of onion rings.

2:39 The food arrives. We are all asleep with our heads on the table. The waiter wakes us up. We eat every f**king bit of our food. Most of the restaurant patrons around us are disgusted. We don't give a f**k. The tab is $112 with tip.

2:46 I'm sleepy.

9:12 I wake up next to a strange woman. She is a waitress at Denny's. She is not pretty.

HOOK 'EM HORNS, BABY!!!
