Uh, when a guy is in Orlando riding Space Mountain with his daughters, do you figure he has any right to demand anything? Except maybe a new pair of newts?
i am worried about space mountain and the tower of terror and all the other rides that whip you around. i am hoping my son ian, who is shorter than squirrel, will not be tall enough to ride, so that i have an excuse to bail. . .
been a long time since my wife and i last rode real rollercoasters. we went on two at universal today - hulk ride and dragon challenge. both were fun - lots of corkscrews and loops - but i still haven't recovered my equilibrium 3+ hours later. tonight's drunk is gonna be extra fun.
I think LSU wins on account of them having the better/more diverse offense. Jarrett Lee is the pick-six machine he was as a freshman and Ruben Randle is a first round talent-level stud at WR. Odell Beckham Jr. is pretty good too. It's easy to forget, but John Brantley passed the ball very well before he nearly lost his leg to Courtney Upshaw. At the time of his injury, Brantley had 190 yards passing and had driven Florida inside the Bama 15 twice (also threw a 50 yard TD pass). I think LSU can move the ball on Bama's secondary with has a lot of big names, but lacks consistency, imo.
Bama's run game is stronger, and I believe Trent Richardson is the best player in the game but I'm not sold on AJ McCarron or Bama's receivers outside of Marquis Maze. Bama's passing game is almost exclusively screens to their backs and short to intermediate throws to their two TEs.
I think it's close, obviously, but I'll take LSU on the road.
mccarron worries me, too. and i don't think bama's really played a decent offense yet, so their defense, while really good, may not be as phenomenal as their reputation indicates. i, too, think lsu wins a close one.
god damn, but trent richardson is fun to watch. and alabama's defense is playing its ass off, especially given the field position these moronic kicking decisions have created. i don't know if that's grammatically correct, but it's true.

ReplyDeleteYou sure he can get on Space Mountain?
ReplyDeleteFirst trip for zbaby to the emergency room for stitches. I'm not looking forward to this.

ReplyDeletehulk ride smash! dave, suck it up and let your self get thrown around. so what if i can't walk today.
ReplyDeletemaryland football, worst team in the fbs or worst team in all football?
jerry sandusky, you sick fuck. allegedly, of course.
ReplyDeleteAnd that video is like a mentos ad.

ReplyDeletemark, there's a flock of wild turkeys outside my hotel room. what's the proper floridian protocol here?
ReplyDeleteI assume you mean the actual animals, yes? If that's the case, get your gun.
ReplyDeleteAnybody have any predictions for Bama-LSU?
ReplyDeleteSince I asked I'll give mine:

ReplyDeleteLSU 20, Bama 17
ReplyDeletebefore you 3 shmucks, i hadn't heard anyone picking lsu other than 3 buddies of mine, also shmucks.
ReplyDeletegoing bama....27-13
can't believe no one is talking about the notre dame/wake game. come on people.
ReplyDeletemy pick is mostly designed to not jinx the tide. i really have no clue. about the game and life.
ReplyDeleteclear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
my movember mustache is coming along nicely. have a huge sales call on the 17th. big decision to come.
ReplyDeletethis penn state coverup is sickening. had no idea they were a catholic school.
ReplyDeletewhat's the likelihood you'll get the deal? keep the stache.
ReplyDeletewhat's the status of these underwear picks k.q. the wife is anxious.
ReplyDeletei don't love alabama's strategy of playing for the 50-yard field goal.
ReplyDeletelike i said.
ReplyDeletethat's 3 kicks. 9 points for those of you slow at math. if you bet on lsu you have to be in good shape.
ReplyDeletego irish!
hey, field goal!
ReplyDeletegod damn, but trent richardson is fun to watch. and alabama's defense is playing its ass off, especially given the field position these moronic kicking decisions have created. i don't know if that's grammatically correct, but it's true.
ReplyDeletewould be cool if kids under 3 knew we get an extra hour tonight.
ReplyDeletethe bama INT and nd td happened almost simultaneously...that's good shit
ReplyDeleteNotre Dame finally looking decent.
ReplyDeletethat is until you speak
ReplyDeleteUgh.
ReplyDeletewhatever happens w/this game and the career of tommy rees, he will without question end up the all time leading turnover maker in nd history
ReplyDeleteIf Tommy Rees had to play either of these defenses, he would throw 8 INTs in the game.
ReplyDeleteHey, throw some more picks, fellas.
ReplyDeleteverne just said "stretch the chain" heh heh heh
ReplyDeleteIf you're a big program like Bama, you have to have a second-string punt returner. Maze is clearly hurt.
ReplyDeleteKirkpatrick flailed like a Spaniard. Get upbitch.
ReplyDeleteBam a should've burned a TO w/ 90 secs left.
ReplyDeleteNo way Bama does anything here.
ReplyDeleteI think we can safely say that the loser of this game will end up ahead of Boise in the rankings.
ReplyDeleteSorry Idaho.
I bet the final score is 6 to 9.
ReplyDeletemark - you talked about everything but "the kicking game"....WOW!!!!
ReplyDeletefuck.
me.
running.
LSU kicker misses this, maybe?
ReplyDeleteOk St can't take themselves seriously if they give up 45 to KSU.
ReplyDeleteThat K State/Okie State game looked awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat OK State game was ridiculous. Also, Boise tied at 14 in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteWatching those two at the same time was odd. Almost two different sports.
ReplyDeleteYes. Those two games on dueling TVs was an odd juxtaposition. I like defense but I'd at least enjoy a TD or two.
ReplyDeletewaaay too many mistakes by alabama to win that game, including a number of significant ones by the coaching staff. tide defense deserved better.
ReplyDeletei'll give 50/50 odds that we see these two again in the national championship.
