i hate it but i'm uncontrollably drawn to it
Fuck off. There have been worse reasons for a new post. Time for a good ol' fashion Monopoly War.

i was originally going to use the clip from Role Models, but I couldn't find the video. Beth: Yes, Wheeler?Wheeler: This may be a stupid question. The Get Out of Jail Free Card: Is that real?Beth: That's a stupid question.Danny: It's real in the game of Monopoly.Wheeler: But Monopoly is based on true events.
who is our target?
so, here's what I'm thinkingi assume we are all pulling in 8 million+ a day now, so once the new payday comes we should be set for cash for this plan.I say we each find some street in the middle of nowhere that's long as fuck (e.g. 191st Tank Battalion Rd). Start building those little buildings. We theoretically could build 140 of those bastards. That should get a ton of chance cards. That should provide the opportunities to bulldoze and build hazards. Just pick him apart that way.
so my new neighbor Christina is a totally strict muslim. Full Hijab and everything. She never even parks near the building for some reason. Her husband has a pretty awesome beard too. But their kids look and act totally normally.Well...I just heard her speak for the first time. She's got a southern accent and just said "Damn it, I forgot to get bread when I was out at Sams" to what looked like her buddy who was lounging in a tank top smoking on her porch.
I completely agree Philco, nice strategy. I'll be on around 10 or so, if you guys are on we can totally fuck him up.
CHRISROBY is the sonofabitch.I'd recommend signing on at 24:00 GMT so you get your payout before anyone else has a chance to sabotage your property. You can sit on the cash afterward.
Wes- We close Oct 23. We aren't sure when we will be moving cause there is some painting to do and we are putting tile down in the kitchen. We will be trying to bribe people to help move probably Halloween weekend or the weekend after that.
Lynnie - Let me know if you need flooring. My old man might be able to get you some good deals.
Hey guys are you on?I have 16M to play with.
I'm here. Lets do some damage.
Will do.I am playing as we speak. I had a chance to build a prison but we need to tear down some of his shit first.
I put a hazard on I-71 to block his biggest money maker.
If you get another hazard, put it on his Whitney Ave.
I really despise Chance cards that take 3.5M.
Brock - i tried to hit him with a hazard on i-71 earlier but didn't have room
I've got a demo card. What do you want to hit? Let me know if you get a hazard card.
hold it till i get one.
fucking accountant just cost me 4.5M
I hate those!
Dude, this guy is sabotaging the properties I have in Nashville. Douche.
i have a demo permit. which street do you want to hit?
Hit Longfield or Evelyn.
on W. Evelyn he has two constructions that protect his street. do you want to hit the stadium and me the library/school structure?
I hit longfield. It was just full and made more money. Hit Evelyn and I'll hit it again if I get a bulldozer.
of course we could just hit two of his biggest buildings that provide rent. I found that he has a honeycomb structure that gives him near $1M per day.
I got another bulldozer. I'll hit Evelyn with it. That'll open the door.
i took out one of his high rise buildings.
back from hockey.
got a sewage plan
I'm down to $300K, so my opportunities for Chance cards is running out. I'll probably get the rest taken from me by some dumbass accountant.
Phil, put it on Longfield or W Evelyn from CHRISROBY
not enough space on longfield. w evelyn is protected
I got a bulldozer. I'll make space on Longfield.
do these things queue up or do i got use them or lose them?
I Just hit Longfield with a prison
You can do some things, but if you get another card, you lose the previous one.
fuck it, i just dropped the sewage plant on I-71 so he's got one more thing to deal with to get that sucker back
...and I'm spent. He still has $16M in cash on hand. I expect some serious retaliation.
Make sure you guys protect your money makers with multiple bonus buildings.
yeah he is going to be pissed. is he playing now?
I don't think he's playing now. Probably waiting to see what we do. All of my big streets have at least 2 bonuses.
fuck him. I got the mother fucking 191st Tank Battalion backing me up
I got a sewer plant, can anybody hit him with something?
Phil, don't waste your money on City Center Cottages. They are only worth $75K and you can put two of the tiny $50K buildings in the same spot. Thus, $100K instead of $75K.
I like the double-screwjob on I-71.
fuck it i'll give him a triple screw job
he has this big ass building in spaghetti junction called the tri-rectangular tower. can you guys hit that?
shit, just opened up longfield with a bulldozer.i was using the city center cottages in so that i could fill up some streets. I'm buying some freaking huge ones down by ft. knox. gotta fill them up to help protect them
chrisroby is back in action...
he's going to be so pissed. He just cleared one on I-71 and I hit him again.
I just randomly got $150K.
I was down to $30K, now I have $150K. Interesting...
who's bitching about that.
I am still sitting at just above $8M
No bitching. Just would like to know how I can keep doing whatever it was I did to get it.
Wes, you are due for one of those $3.5M screwjobs by the Chance card.
i'm about to open up longfield. anyone got a hazard?
CHRISROBY is trying fuck with Phil's rural empire.
you know, that's a shit street. it's like an easy mark for him. i'm gonna let him play with it...
He's got Longfield and Whitney back on track.
i'll let you know when i get something.
i got a demolition permit.does he have any big ass building anywhere?
or does anybody have a hazard?
i can take down his $3M dollar building
I just took down his $3.9M building on I-71 that gives him $1.2M daily. He's going to be so fucking pissed.
he hit me again in the boonies. moving on to another big ass street.
Who wouldn't want to live on FD-1003?
Are you taking over Fort Knox? Do you get the gold too?
wait! it was someone new! DERBYGUY!
uh oh what just happened?
DERBYGUY hit me with a hazard. I don't know if they are in cahoots or not.But I hit him with a prison where you took down his 3.9m building
I don't see him anywhere?
give me a street he has.
not sure. he just was in my alert window thing as doing the do
You can click on his name in the alert to find him.
i have a sewage plant to build.I don't see him in the alert find.
I just got another $80K
you know, CHRISROBY just sold a tiny street to him. Derbyguy just sent all his money to CHRISROBY in exchange for some shit roads.
I thought that is what he was doing. I bet he is both players.
CHRISROBY has made 4 million dollars selling shitty roads to people over the past 5 minutes. What a fagot
i mean, compared to us who are clearly cool.
The game gets reset tomorrow night. Shall we create aliases to fuck this guy up?
found him on facebook. i say we just drive to his house and write "CREATE A FAKE ACCOUNT TO STOP THIS, MOTHERFUCKER!" on the side of it
Exaclty.I think we should. I think natty sci needs to make it their mission that everyone joins and fucks with this guy.
I'm gonna find his mom and skullfuck her.
This is comical!http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/?attachment_id=18275
jesus christ it is horrifying how much i found out about this guy in a few minutes
demolition permit...phil do you have any hazards?
There is a Chris Roby from Central High '96
nope. i did his dresden up though. it's down hill though. no way am i staying up and battling this fucko. i think we've made our point. hopefully when they reset it they'll do a better job of preventing multiple accounts like this
Brock are you stalking him on Facebook?Are you going to taunt him?
He really has to be hating me right now. I just tore down another $2M building.
i'm pretty sure from what i found the dude is pre-law
I just feel like its futile if this douche is just going to keep re-upping his cash with fake accounts.
Unless we can hack his account and sell shit to ourselves. That would be pleasant.
yeah can we contact the game?
fuck it, we should be a terrorist organization and just blow his shit up for cheating.
oh it's futile. let's be honest, it's a stupid fucking game that's going away tomorrow. the goal is to grief him, not get worked up ourselves.
Rambo is on!
Longfield Ave. is open.
oh i agree philco...but this is fun.
got longfield with a powerplant.
and W evelyn
W. evelyn got a prison
i'm running low on funds. got hit by a shitty accountant
Another $2M building gone.
and i'm done.i like that you and brock are now listed as having 117% activity in this game.
I guess its the extra cash I randomly got.
Dude Congress Alley is just begging to be fucked with.
god damn it wes. i sold some shitty property i bought. 8 houses....cooooooooooome on hazard!
Dude Congress wasn't yours was it?
not mine
sorry, i was saying god damn it because you kept me up
Is it worth selling everything to torture this guy?
poor bastard that owns congress alley has a negative score. he has no money. if you build a hazard he's done. that's his only street.i say let him be
So this dipshit built 5 buildings that were all $1M plus without protecting it.I am doing him a favor and destroying it. So far my damage to him is $7.8M. What a fucktard.
i think the dude gave up. no activity. i say we declare victory of the infamous CHRISROBY.
I think Brock started freaking the dude out by stalking him on Facebook.
Phil stalked him on Facebook. Don't put that on me.
i know an absolute shit ton about this guy. all in all he's probably somebody we'd be friends with, after we punched him in the face about being a shit head for having multiple accounts to win at online jeopardy.
Isn't that a rule for being part of Natty Sci? Getting punched? ... or is that just special for me.
We drink, we get punched, it happens.Adrian knocked stewie out on Vampire Stewie night.
I threw stewie into the floor that night too.The boy has survived Iraq and is now in Afghanistan. I'd like to think we prepared him for that just as much as boot camp.
another glouchester house for sale.http://glarmls.com/GLARReports/List...g_id=7914367524with lynnie, cuban, joe and douglas all in that neighborhood i feel like i should do like a real life monopoly and move there myself
Fuck it why not?
pure laziness
With the new Molly Malone's going in there, you wouldn't even notice the difference. Hell, you might even be closer to the establishments.
Where is the new Molly's going in at?
new molly malones is gonna be at the old bw3s that was katty-corner from the old white castle, down near the old sears building.the old bw3s moved into the old halley cooke shopping center, near where the new circuit city used to be.
The new house for sale is across the street from me and about 4 houses closer to browns lane. They have done a shit ton of fixing it up over the past couple years I think..
It is pretty much my house except the stairs fot the upstairs are in the middle of the house and the basement steps are off the side of the house.
There are also a couple houses for sale behind me on Winchester for sale. One is caddy corner to my backyard and the other backs up to Nourbourne estates and is on Winchester and Meridian.
so just got done reading the recap from last night. wow...
last night was the dangers of having a laptop in front of the tv. it can get out of hand quickly.
Philco - I was just thinking how bad a laptop would be for me. Especially on Saturdays when I just want to watch football and blow up that guys shit.
Douglas - it was pretty pathetic to say the least.

Who all plans to make it out tomorrow for Chris and Joanna's birthday?
I'm going to steal this from the writer of barstool sports when he said maybe illness is making him weak but he thought this was interesting:http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/bi...?urn=mlb,190220I like the fact that a 3 year old girl knows more about baseball then matt lauer and merideth viera.
I am going to try to make it out, I have some stuff popping up and Abby leaves for Washington DC on Sunday so who knows at this point.

30TH BIRTHDAY BAMBI WALK TOMORROW!! EVERYONE'S INVITED. I PLAN ON STARTING THE THING AROUND 6. FEEL FREE TO COME OUT AND JOIN US WHENEVER. HOPEFULLY WE CAN TURN THIS INTO AN OLD SCHOOL NATTY SCI EVENT AND TORTURE INNOCENT BYSTANDERS UP AND DOWN BARDSTOWN ROAD.
Anyone that actually wants to start around 6 let us know so maybe we can limit the number of cars on the road. Fuck going green, no DUI's is a good thing, but mostly trying to figure out how to get all our cars from wherever we are.

Phil just folded under pressure
it was a high pressure situation. And besides, I was the only one willing to take the mission.
you boys are up late this days. is chris' caps lock key broken or does he mean to yell? given the context the latter would make sense
(936): I think you're the first person to ever call Louisville, KY a "romantic getaway".
I love production turns
I think Phil and Brent need to elaborate.
maroon 5 is coming to bellarmine, everybody rush to get your tickets
maroon 5 is still gay, but I would say compared to Blessed Union of Souls and....never mind still gay.
edoug is up and running on monopoly, i'm gonna fuck around and get some experience before they relaunch it
does it always take two fucking hours to buy a street
Big Worm is up and running again.some streets are more expensive this time around. For example, La Grange went from $1m to $3.1M
When you guys log in post a street name you purchase so I can friend you.
I bought Willow Forest Drive in 40245
i got hunsinger, andrew ct., and sudbury
i got a stadium on hunsinger
talking about a way to start out pissed off, I have already lost about 400K to a shitty lawyer.
Is there a trick to the Bambi Walk? I'm trying to hydrate and eat right before we start so I don't die. I'm tempted to load up my pockets with food items that will soak up booze like animal crackers or something.
the main trick to the bambi walk is to keep moving. you need to attack the bambi walk. it isn't something to enjoy - it's something to beat. you can't lollygag at bars and you certainly can't randomly decide to do a couple rounds of shots and some place and play some pool.clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
My concern with attacking is going too fast and drinking too much beer too quick and then not making it. I would think that an intermediate pace would work best. I don't want to pull any rookie mistakes.
i think there are built in fail safes with that. the first collection of bars are so spread out, and the service is so shitty you are looking at a minimum of 30 minutes per drink if you hustle. our problem has always been "damn, another 10 minute walk. i should get another beer to tide me over! Woooooooooooooooo!" and then by the time we get to Zs pizza we have been drinking two or three beers at each bar and are done by 11pm.
I don't know what the actual Bambi Walk is but I went on yahoo and did a search of bars and eateries and found all of these. It is 32 places. I don't know about all of them or if I missed any.Bambi BarKernsLeft Field LoungeCumberland BrewZAs PizzaBristol?Qdoba?Highland TaproomHideawaySol Aztecas?Café 360?Dittos?Ramsis?Impellizaris?Back Door?Big Daves Outpost?Diamante?Cribstone Pub?Wine Market?Tony BoombozBearnosAkikosCahootsBW3sWicksRenbergers BrewhausOsheasFlanigansMolly MalonesSpinellis?Outlook InnPhoenix Hill Tavern
qdoba on bardstown is like 2 dollar beers on fridays
What is the line of bar vs. restraunt? Do we include Mark's Feed Store because they serve beer? Is it only places that have the name bar or pub in it?
Is there an official bambi walk or do you just make it up as you go?
so in explanation of last night.we tried to implement operation dumbo drop.brent is a lightweight and i was my typical drunk self. we were getting killed at trivia so the attention turned to the girls. there was a semi-cute blond, with a great body and a jean skirt. in our infinite wisdom, it was determined if we could get her to bend over near the top of the stairs then everyone at the table would have an A+ view. We just needed the opportunity to present itself for her to present herself.So I volunteered to be the point man for the operation. Our plan was simple. Monitor her coming in from the door. Once she got there we'd swoop into action. I'd take the full pad of paper in, tear the answer off the pad and accidently drop the pad on the ground at the top of the stairs. She'd be right behind me and couldn't help but assist me by bending over and grabbing the pad. In no way could this plan fail, right?So we did a dry run and it worked out well. But on this run, I purposely bumped into ross thus dropping the pad in a natural fashion. Ross even picked up the pad for me.Well we only had two rounds left to swoop into action. The second to last one I sat and sat and sat and sat. Answers had to be in. In my alcohol induced haze I was drunk confident that someone else had turned in the answer for her. Surely they weren't waiting that long. Plus there was a crowd at the top that would prevent 1) her from being the one to pick up the pad and 2) a good view, so I went to go turn in the answer. She came in moments after I sat down - opportunity lost, but I feel that regardless of my performance that it the mission was not ready for launch at that moment due to the timingWhich led us with only the final question to make this happen. We rushed and answer together and sat ready to attack at a moment's notice. But I was drunk. Brent's yelling shit; Josh is grabbing my telling me to wait. I saw her come in and I paniced. I didn't trust Josh's timing. He was cutting it too close, I was sure of it. So in a rush I hoped up and made me way up the stairs. I tried to pull the "missed the last step, slam my foot into it and drop the pad" but without a reherasal it came off as forced and unnatural. She was surely onto us. She turned in her answer and made her way down the stairs, my pad still sitting there limp and useless.And so was turner as he just stared in quite bemusement at our failures to look up a girls skirt.

oh, do the bambi walk. i think there are an official set of bars that say they want to participate when they do the shirt one. it's really open season. But I think it's pretty obvious what places are restaurants and which are bars.
look at this shit:http://bambinowalk.com/
can you post the official list of bars on the bambi walk?
I don't like clicking on certain links at work.
oh, sorry. not a list for the bambi walk. it's for the bambino walk. starts at BW3s. Ends at Outlook.Or as I call it - Tuesdays.
I have been unable to find a list of official bars, but everything that I have read is that you hit up all the bars on the street. My thoughts are to hit up most places with a free standing bar or have bar in the name of the place. So Bearno's would count for a free standing bar and the Bristoll would count for "Bar and Grille."
These Kanye spoofs made me laugh. enjoy. the Bill O'Reilly one is NSFW.http://www.examiner.com/x-5738-Poli...d-George-W-Bush
So by your definition an O'charleys would count.
yeah, i think it's just a judgement call that you gotta play by ear. what counts is hard to define, but i think we all know a bar when we see one.
I disagree with chris on the Bristol. Is dundee close enough to Bardstown Road, and is the Back Door considered Bardstown Road?
i think both count. But I say any place with an entre over $20 is out of the question.
I agree with dundee and back door. I may protest the Bristol.
Wes, Phil, Jay, Brody, Phil, Lynnie, Douglas...All in tonight?
Joe - That is my plan, but I will have to meet up with you guys after 6. Abby is going Bridesmaid shopping for dresses tonight so unless the Bambi walk is kid friendly (and I don't think it is) then I will be a late arrival.
Good. I am holding you to that. I think the first few legs of the walk will be kid friendly
Joanna's dad took her to the Bambi Bar as a kid
And then she married you. Is that a coincidence?
So you headed in town Jay?
we will be in at some point.
Graymoor Rd. The center of the real estate universe.
Joanna's dad is a Great man.Chris, you'll have to drink two for me tonight. OR...We can "Bambi Walk" from our condo to downtown Nashville on Thursday.I hope you guys warmed your livers up for the next month of killing them.
I'd like to think that I have been trying to practice. I'm thinking since labor day through next weekend that I probably successfully will acheive blacked out drunk every weekend.
I don't know if that is really an accomplishment, Joe. And I'm headed into town right after work, in about 3 minutes.
I take that back, Labor day I don't think I blacked out but Phil and I drink a shit ton between fantasy football draft and a long day of watching UL football. My b-day last weekend was ugly, the bambi walk today and brock's bachelor party. I guess the weekend inbetween bachelor party and wedding needs to be a drunken experience. Wedding I assume will turn drunk. We need a Jay bachelor party soon to follow. Then there is Halloween on a Saturday. Then we have Jays wedding. Then we have Thanksgiving holiday and like a Jay and Wes b-day. Then we have Christmas, Phil's b-day and New Years. Lets just stay drunk till New Years.
When did we quit being blacked out drunk every weekend? It is a shame.
I just bought me a new TV for my basement. Going to move my 46" upstairs.This is a heck of a deal if anybody is wanting one.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...d=1218064394819
how the fuck did i get home
to be honest, everything past akikos is a blur
Joanna has posted evidence that Chris at least made it to Phoenix Hill, so I wonder if there are some interesting stories.Number of establishments frequented?
All of them. Well, we actually didn't go to a couple of the ones on Baxter bc we decided we didn't want to pay a ton of covers.

Its not the specific game that feeds the delusion. Its the schedule. Games at USF and PITT are about the only ones left to stop them.UC is actually outperforming Florida in most statistics.

Hey Wes,Are you getting harassed by anyone yet? If you don't have any specific targets for revenge. This HOBOB dude keeps destroying my Parks. FINISH HIM!
Not yet I am not, but I am going to lay low for a second. Tomorrow at 9 I will be buying the Gene Snyder Freeway. Some jackass already has Shelbyville road who is getting $79M in rent money.I own LaGrange and my rent money is going to be $24M next turn.
Brock that dude is raking in the dough. If we can do a coordinated attack on him sure why not. His biggest money maker on has two bonus buildings.
i was actually going to ask if anyone was pissing anyone off yet, I've gotten a couple chance cards to demolish buildings, but I didn't want to go fuck with strangers at this point and risk retaliation unless their was some kind of coordinated attack

None of the other records either (A) can be broken, (B) matter in the first place, (C) will ever be looked at objectively because of who broke them (and yes, I'm including your 756th homer, A-Rod). But we still have 10 records that matter. And by the way, if someone even hints at approaching Bonds' 73 by doing it naturally ... how great would that be? Something to root for. Of course, it will probably turn out that the hitter who broke out was drinking hemoglobin from dead baby seals while illegally fighting panda bears ... but still.

got this e-mail from my buddy from memphis:"what do you guys have planned for your time in Memphis? Besides your untimely demise of course..."So what is our plan? Note: this may have been discussed on Friday but i was not there.
wes, they feel better about the washington game, but there are still some haters. then there are hater haters. see for yourselfhttp://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/...mp;pg=1&b=1
Pictures from Oktoberfesthttp://www.boston.com/bigpicture/20...rfest_2009.html
Do we really have a plan for the bachelor party besides consume large quantities of alcohol and act like jackasses? We will start by doing this in Nashville and then migrate to Memphis and do it there while visiting Beale St and possibly Graceland. We didn't die in NOLA, so hopefully Memphis won't be any worse unless we are just tempting fate.
Phil, those pictures make me regret not doing the bachelor party in the motherland, Germany. I have visions of "Beerfest" meets "European Vacation."As for plans. We will have at least one, maybe two, Memphis locals meeting up with us at various times, so we have that going for us.Since I finished my monthly lab meeting today, I have a little more time this week to look into specifics for the trip. Right now, all I know is where our hotel is and where the bars are.Do we want to rent a van to go down to Memphis? Does anyone have access to a van? My dad's conversion van is currently out of action or Ty would be bringing that. 2-4 guys are coming down from Cincy and Chip is coming from Bowling Green. From Louisville, Chris, Joe, and Marc are in. I am assuming Phil is in and Jay has been flip-flopping. Jason may come down for Thursday night. There are 3-4 guys from Nashville planning to head out at least Thursday and maybe 1-2 will be coming down Friday.Now you know why its been so hard to nail down a headcount and decide on hotel rooms. Try doing that with 200 people and you have our wedding.
sad clemson fan makes me chucklehttp://deadspin.com/5364207/chris-f...pain-not-really
I'm in, bitches. I'd also be up for springing for an extra hotel room with someone so I don't have to share a bed with another dude. No offense, but I'm too fucking sexy to take any chances with you homos
The attempt to borrow Laura's Expidition that seats 8 was crashed because of damn horses that need to be trailered.
i don't mind driving if people help me out with some gas money. my car gets like 23mpg on the highway. Of course, if there are only four of us it does help out a bit.
the other problem with my car is that it's a manual. Any of you all know how to drive on?
So the Louisville Thursday night crowd:Chris, me, Jay, Phil, Marc. What is Ty doing?
That is a negative for Chris and I on manual. Chris volunteered his Taurus for driving I believe.
What time are you planning on leaving from here on Thursday?
I would pull for 6-6:30. I don't get home from work till 5:15 roughly then after rallying up the troops it would be close to 6-6:30. 180 mile drive roughly? That makes it 9:00 - 9:30, subtract 1 hour for time zone makes it 8:00 - 8:30. I'd say 7:00 at the latest leaving.
I think team Natty Sci should try and win the next Netflix Million Dollar Prize"The new contest is going to present the contestants with demographic and behavioral data, and they will be asked to model individuals’ “taste profiles,” the company said. The data set of more than 100 million entries will include information about renters’ ages, gender, ZIP codes, genre ratings and previously chosen movies."http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/...new-contest/?hp
Hmmm. Car situation could prove tricky, especially with 5 people.I guess the options are my car, Chris's car and Big Jay's car. Jay and I might have the comfiest ride down there. Jay might have the best gas mileage. Chris's is the least likeliest to get car jacked in Memphis. My car has a navigation system and shit. Chris and Jay both drive autos, so that comes in handy. But I don't mind doing the driving. Rather do that than sit bitch for three hours, honestly.
i do know netflix's rating systems sucks. whenever i rate movies poorly i always get 'recommendations' for movies that suck just as bad as the one i just rated like a one star, or recommendations for movies i've already seen
I think with my computer nerdy skill, joe's math skills and marc's movie knowledge we have a decent basis to get "something" entered.But here's my idea for how to rank them.

We pull in demographic data about the zip codes, combine that with the gender and age and we can come up with some really solid racist movie suggestions.We just need to come up with a good list of generic movie stereotypes.
If Ty is coming down from Louisville Thursday we have 6, 3 and 3.
Man, six people throws a serious wrench in the equation.Doesn't anyone have a mom with a minivan or some shit? We can get a minivan from Enterprise for $ 365.76 USD, but we only get 600 miles. .15 per extra mile so that works out to an extra $45 assuming we drive 900 total miles.Assuming about $100 worth of gas, we'd be looking at $500 for travel split 6 ways. So $84 each.

Jay is rethinking coing down on Thursday, so that adds another variable to this equation. Brock, is Ty going to hitch a ride with us? I don't really think renting a mini-van to go to Nashville is worth it. The 15 passenger to Memphis might be a good idea though depending on the price.
Song: he puts it in the wrong hole.http://www.break.com/index/he-puts-...wrong-hole.html
I'm going to toss out another wrinkle into the equation. My grandmother has passed along a set of her furniture to Michelle and I. We haven't been able to get it down to Nashville, but Ty is planning to drive a U-Haul or Budget truck down with the bedroom suit. Potentially, you all could pile into the back of a box truck like a bunch of Mexicans.Other options: my mom has a Mountaineer that seats 7, but she's very attached to it.
if we are have just 4 going to nashville then im more than happy to drive down there, especially if we get a van to memphis. i really just dont want to have to deal with driving for 7 hours hungover on Sunday.
PBR Is Now a Luxury Beer, Sort Ofhttp://newyork.grubstreet.com/2009/..._beer_sort.html
I have a reason to be crazy, but these guys don't:http://cfn.scout.com/2/901294.html
It's certainly possible Cincy could run the table, their schedule doesn't have any major roadblocks, and if they run the table in a BCS conference, then undoubtedly they can't be left out. But at the same time, they can't afford one stumble at all, they won't catch a break that Ohio state or USC or LSU will. They can get in with one loss, Cincy won't.
If UC is undefeated as well as an SEC or Big 12 school and there is a 1 loss Pac-10 team then I see UC getting booted.
It would be hard to argue a 1-loss Pac-10 team getting in ahead of UC since they just went to Oregon and beat State. That's an apples-to-apples argument. Brian Kelly intentionally went out and scheduled as many BCS teams as reasonable in order to offset "conference power" arguments. They play Illinois later this season too.My biggest concern was the trip to USF. UC has kicked their ass the last few years and they'll be looking for revenge; but with Grothe out that shouldn't be as stressful.
If I can get the day off on Friday, I'll drive down Thursday night. I don't want to cancel class, but leaving Joe's house by 7 shouldn't be an issue.
I was quoting ESPN radio, that was not my thoughts.What time is class?
How does this place sound for dinner Friday? Its an all-you-can eat Brazalian Steakhouse. Its a little pricey ($45), but if you sign up for their rewards on the website, they give you an immediate 25% discount.The locals highly recommend it, and its less than 2 blocks from the hotel.http://www.texasdebrazil.com/I'll keep you all posted as the advice comes in.
I just want a shit ton of Memphis BBQ.
second on the bbq.although this all you can eat steak place does sound intriguing. not sure I've got the stomach to put back $45 worth of food though.
derek jeter honored for having fewer career hits than harold baines:http://www.theonion.com/content/new...ource=a-section
this shit reminds me of this comic:http://xkcd.com/589/
Isn't the sheep-wolf reference in the comic in regard to an SAT test question?
That's a classic comic. I might print it out and hang it up.
i always liked the game "he who gets drunk the fastest doesn't have to drive." screw you if you showed up late to pregame, you're stuck as the DD
If you guys want good Memphis-Style bbq. Might want to stick to one of the one that are consistently being rated high. http://www.gomemphis.com/news/2009/...-bets-barbecue/http://www.travelandleisure.com/art...rbecue-joints/1http://www.10best.com/Memphis,TN/Re...rants/Barbecue/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/1513460...24hour_layover/
brock, it's a variation of this riddle:Once upon a time a farmer went to market and purchased a fox, a goose, and a bag of beans. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and hired a boat. But in crossing the river by boat, the farmer could carry only himself and a single one of his purchases - the fox, the goose, or the bag of the beans.If left alone, the fox would eat the goose, and the goose would eat the beans.The farmer's challenge was to carry himself and his purchases to the far bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact. How did he do it?the reference is wolf, goat and cabbage.
However, this place seems to have an All-you-can-eat lunch buffett. http://www.yelp.com/biz/leonards-pi...arbecue-memphis
Class starts at 6, but it is a lab and I can rush them and be out by 6:30 and at your house by 6:45.
What kind of lab are you doing?
so are we gonna' schedule any coordinated monopoly attacks?
I've been letting this HOBOB guy have it. I can feel the back of his skull.
i'll help you out then, i've been looking for someone to fuck with, i've discarded a bunch of chance cards
It looks like he's sold all his property and just amassed a bunch of cash. I bet he'll buy up a bunch of property right before payday to collect the rent then sell it again. Its an interesting strategy because it prevents people from putting hazards on his properties.
the thing i'm running into now is it seems all the good / more expensive streets have been bought up and i'm stuck getting the neighborhood roads
This is the hotel we are staying at. In case anyone wanted to map out puking locations or strip clubs.http://www.peabodymemphis.com/
Is anyone interested in seeing Graceland?Tickets are $28.http://www.elvis.com/graceland/tickets/default.asp
That hotel looks way too nice for one of our bachelor parties. I see bad things happening to one of the Peabody ducks.
that hotel has been a trivia question before
Those last two posts seems connected in some way.
There is no such thing a "too nice" hotel. The Barronne was a halfway classy hotel, but that didn't stop us from punching doors, drinking with Cajuns, and getting horseshit and skittles all over the carpet.
HOBOB can be our bitch.I was so pissed at monopoly by the way. I bought LaGrange road and noticed each house cost $50K but was making $159K in rent per day!!! So I loaded that fucking street up with $24M worth of rent money daily. So I log on the next day and only got $8M in rent...they figured it out...fuckers!I am doing the same thing with Westport Road now.
So we got like 6-7 inches or rain in an hour...Atlanta has got 20 inches of rain in the past couple days with more rain on the way. Crazy.
I'm not in Atlanta so I don't know what god's plan is there.
So far 8 are dead and several more are missing due to the floods. A two-year old boy was ripped out of his father's arms and drowned after the creek around their mobile home swelled quickly. A teenager bet some friends $5 bucks he could swim in the overflowed ditch....he lost.
Is he contractually obligated to pay up after dying?
I don't know, that is a good question. I don't think I'd take an IOU from a dead man.
"I don't take IOU's from a dead man" would be an awesome line in a western
i can't get anything good streets like that now it seems, i looked all over the place this morning but couldn't find any that weren't already bought, i'm gonna look some more tonight
you try the fort knox area? I'm telling you, that place is a gold mine of big ass streets with cool ass names.
Has Ballardsville Road already been bought (Highway 22)?
i believe so yes
what about 191st Tank Battalion Rd?
Phil - what kind of rent are you getting in Fort Knox? It is a 1:1 for the greenhouses and the centers?
got me. i didn't sign back up yet
did we ever get a definitive answer on big jay and ty? what about a van?
I think the answer is that Jay will be going with us if we leave closer to 7. Ty is driving a U-Haul type van down with furniture for Brock and Michelle. No definitive answer about a van. It also sounds like we need to plan some extra time or try to avoid I-65 construction. The last time Joanna and I went that way (July) we got stuck for an hour at the Gene Snyder and through most of Bullit Co. Joanna is saying the construction has moved to Fern Valley and northward.
When is Ty leaving? I'm not gonna lie, Marc, Big Jay, Chris, Joe and I sure as fuck ain't riding ANYWHERE comfortable for 3 or 4 hours depending on traffic. If we could get someone thrown in the van with Ty...
i also have another question. how the fuck is ty getting home?
There are guys coming from Cincy and Chip will be coming from Bowling Green.
I'm going to call Ty and find out when he was planning to leave and maybe one of you all could ride shotgun or something.
I've been checking out prices on renting a passenger van from Nashville to go to Memphis and its like $100 a day. That seems a little unreasonable. I'll keep checking.
$100 a day isn't too bad. We'd be looking at, what, four cars between here and there? It's about 400 miles round trip so 1200 extra miles driven. Figuring 20mpg at 3.00 per gallon and you are looking at $180 in extra gas money. Plus the comedy of being in a big ass van would be worth it.It also have the added benefit of only at least one of us having to function for the three hour drive from Memphis to Nashville come sunday morning.
I can go ahead and book the 12-passenger van tomorrow if people would be interested. I'm estimating that it would cost between $40-45 a person for the van and gas (counting 10 passengers).$99.95/day X 3 days X 9.5% tax (damn TN) = ~$330 + $100 gas = $430 Its funny. The van would be almost 3/4 of what we are paying for the hotel.
From a guy I know:Called DirecTV to complain once again about my broken DVR. Almost cancelled and they totally redeemed themselves with offering no HD/ DVR charges for a year and the NFL package for free.
Any progress on bachelor party transportation?
Dan Patrick is discussing baby names since his intern is having a kid. QB Brad Johnson named his son Maximus. His son is named Maximus Johnson or Max Johnson. Awesome.
Dan Patrick is going to talk about the Max Gilpin/Jason Stinson case with Archie Manning.
i understand the mom's pain, truly, but she's just coming off as a bitter old woman now in all the interviews she's doing, demanding apologies at every turn. and now she's filed a civil suit against stinson, which is nothing more than an attempt to take his money and ruin his life. she can say all she wants that it's not about money, it's about exposing the issue and getting the word out about heat related illnesses, but the case has already gotten a lot of national attention. no amount of money she gets is gonna bring her son back
Don't file a lawsuit, start a charity.Archie basically did one of those back in the day coaches were all hard asses and if you didn't like it get off their field and don't come back.
Plans from Louisville...We pick Jay up from Bellarmine since we have to go that way anyway. We show up at 6 to help encourage his students to move a little faster. We either take my car or Jay's car since Phil's is a stick and that would make rotating drivers a little difficult. Nashville to Memphis depends on if we rent a van. Or I may hitch a ride with Ty (especially if he is leaving early) to keep us from having to drive 5 large grown men in a single car.
The only way that kids name could have been better if it were Max Power.
So when is Ty leaving? Any one hear from Brody in a while? Is he still in? Is Jay aware that we are harrassing him and leaving from Bellarmine? Phil, this sound good with you?
I just called the van place. It'll run $200 for the rental, about $50 extra for mileage, and $100 for gas. I'm estimating ~$38 per person for that.They've got 1 12-passenger left. Should we do it?
I say yes depending on how many of us are traveling from Nashville to Memphis.
I still have yet to get confirmation from Ty on his departure plan, but my dad says he has to work until 3-4pm. So he should swing by my grandma's house to pick up the furniture after 4 and will hopefully be on the road by 5-6p at the latest. He might need a hand moving the dresser, so if someone wants to hitch a ride with him, it may be worth meeting him at the house. Of course, I'd give you all a better answer if he would answer his phone.
I'm counting 10 passengers from Nashville to Memphis.
My other question regarding Ty is how he is getting home. If he is renting the van and driving down there, is he also just gonna leave it there and drive it back two or three days later? Wouldn't that cost him like an extra $150?
With van I think 10 is great. I think we should leave ty in Memphis.
Ty is riding back with the guys from Cincy.
If someone rides down with Ty we still have 5 on the way back.
12-passenger van. BOOKED. ROCK ON.Just talked to Ty. He'd actually prefer if someone rode down with him tomorrow. Any takers.Don't worry about his return, that's taken care of.
So you all are showing up at Bellarmine tomorrow? That would be awesome. I'm not doing a DHMO lab this time, though
we still need to figure out who is driving and if nyone is travelling with Ty.I have a 2 seater and get home from work around 5:15Chris is on vacation with a car that will seat 5Jay has a class at 6 and a car that will seat 5Phil is unknown on time and has a manualBrody is MIA
whatever it takes, i'll make it do what it do.if we are just driving to nashville, that's a piece of cake. i can drive that no problem without needing a driver change.
I can ride with Ty since I am probably the only one whose schedule will allow it. Catholic Charities is coming to my house at 4pm to pick up a couch, so I need to be here for that. Unless, Brock, you want that purple sectional that was in my basement, and Ty and I can load it up and haul it to Nashville. Or anyone else who wants it can take it.
It does mean 5 back in either Phil or Jays car though. Didn't we do 4 of us in a Jetta to Bowling Green for ribs?
I did check to see if Hops was gonna be open in Bowling Green. Looks like they closed down
Chris you are with Ty. Phil, you drive. pick me up around 6 on your way to pick up Jay from Bellarmine. Ready. Break. Wasting a timeout because we don't have enough men on the field. Chris you are with Ty. Phil, you drive. pick me up around 6 on your way to pick up Jay from Bellarmine. Brody is making up his own route. If he is open hit him.
Our lady queen of victory...
Clear eyes, full hearts..
I have a car power converter. Wireless internet adapter will be available too. Joe, you want to bring your laptop or should I bring my old piece of shit that at least has a working track pad?I figure Sunday we can at least follow the fantasy scores on the drive back.
I'll bring mine. Do we have a thing to get the sound through the car speakers so we can watch a movie? I have a decent sized HD screen. You have a wireless internet adapter? That is kind of cool.
Do we have a good option for music in the van to Memphis? I don't know if the van comes with a CD player or anything, but I certainly want to get everyone psyched with some John Williams. Just kidding, but entertainment with 10 dudes in a van might just come easily. Especially if there are donuts.
hmmm, we'd need one of those mic out to FM transceivers for that. I do not have one
I may run to Best Buy or something tonight. If we get that a laptop turns into a CD player running through the car speakers. Hmmm. Maybe I will start randomly putting CDs on my laptop tonight as well.
If anyone has some time, scout some of the establishments on Beale to find out if there are any gems.
so wes, anything going on this weekend? we losers might as well hang out
i have a feeling you fuckers will be spending the weekend getting drunk dialed.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...rp=15&iht=nIs this it Phil?A guy at softball said a place called like the Flying saucer.
i generally expect that sort of thing whenever joe goes out of town. he called when he was pissing on harry carey in chicago, i got a call when free bird came on a jukebox in baltimore, i wouldn't expect anything less
Aside from the fact that I'm not going to be in your car on the way down, Joe, I can bring my Ipod and you don't need to worry about downloading CD's.Places to go on Beale St...I heard stay out of the red areas, unless you want to act out a scene in Animal House. Mind if we dance with yo' dates.
joe - that should work. $30 ain't cheap, but you could throw it into yours or laura's car and hook up an mp3 player down the road. that's what I did with the ol' accord.
Hey, goatfucker, looks liek we may need to stop here for some adult entertainment for you.http://www.silkyosullivans.com/Goats on Beale Street? Yes, they're in the adjoining court yard next to Silky OSullivan, the first Irish pub on the block
I hate to say this, but I'm starting to get psyched. I don't want to put any undue pressure on us, but Coach Genero's last words to me were "Party in Memphis, or I'll die."
Do we need to pack a cooler of anything?
buying some vitamin water in bulk would be a good idea
might i suggest red bull as well? if you're going from thursday to sunday you might need a little boost
Are we bringing booze with us?
I was going to plan on it. Booze that is. And I think some sort of food and non-alcoholic beverage might be a good idea as well.
buying snack food right now
I will plan to pick up some junk tonight.
i just bought a shit ton of beef jerky and breakfast bars
hopefully they show up tomorrow
Preference between powerade and gatorade?
i found the G2 stuff helps best for hangovers. Extra electrolytes, which is what plants crave.
There are Flying Suacer's in both Nashville and Memphis. Nice place! Over 200 beers on tap. I figured we would start the night Thursday at the Flying Saucer in Nashville and then head to Printer's Alley.http://www.theprintersalley.com/I'm going prepare some Skyline Dip. Do we want to bring a couple of trays of taco dip and 10 bags of Fritos. That shit is perfect as a late night snack (or at least as good as donuts and cheese).I think Wes will be the most dis appointed in not meeting by friend Tony from Cincy who I believe is a sniper in the army (2 Iraq tours already). Chris, do you think you could give Ty a hand moving some of the furniture tomorrow? Payton is planning to help, but they might need some help and you are planning to ride with him anyway.
bowl predictions:http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/10108336Jan. 7BCS National ChampionshipBCS No. 1 vs. BCS No. 2Florida vs. Cincinnati
I can help depending on what time he wants to do it. I have to be at my house around 4 for catholic charities.
Phil, this is God's way of telling me its about time you got married. Now, as a gift, Cincinnati will win the national title and Brian Kelly will NOT be the next head coach of Notre Dame.Chris, that should work. Ty says he probably won't get off work until 4, so he won't be over at my grandmother's house until 4:30 or later. I'll have him call you to let you know.

This is a useful guide. I noticed that there is a Pat O's in Memphis. Rock you like a hurricane!http://www.bealestreetonline.com/clubs.htm
Wet Willie's?
Beale Street might be the nexus of the bar universe. Should we try driving the van at 88mph down it?
Ty mentioned that Alfred's on Beale has a deal where you pay $10 or $20 for a wristband and get unlimited drinks at multiple bars for a certain period on Friday night. I've tried to find this info online, but have been unable to find anything.I'll touch base with the Memphis contacts to confirm this.
I got lil chocolate donuts, chips, powerade and cokes.
best buy looked at me as if I was retarded asking about an fm transmitor for a laptop.

So I just got back from watching "The Hangover." Michelle was insistent that I see it before the festivities begin tomorrow. She's a keeper."I will punch an old man in public!"
Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was trying to warn you, Brock. Has anyone confirmed that Brody is going?
text conversation between chris and I:Chris: "did Brody call you?"Me: "no"Chris: "I told him to call you or phil."end of story.
It sounded to me like he was going to go, but we was waffling a little. He was supposed to call Joe or Phil to confirm since they would be his ride.
What is there to waffle about?
Dude, Brody. Come on.
There can't be anything better to do in Louisville.
Brock only gets married once, hopefully.
If you need a good excuse to miss a bachelor party road trip we can come break your jaw.
Touche' Joe.
Maybe there is some reason he is not allowed to cross stae lines. Are you on some kind of probation where if you enter TN you become a fugitive of the law?
sex offender status will do that
Sorry guys, I did call Phil last night as instructed and am ready to go. Don't count Brody out.
way to grow a pair.
I always knew Marc was in, it wouldn't be a road trip without Brody there.The Legend continues...
I got a call from Budget this morning. The were not going to have the 10' truck available, so they upgraded it to a 24' truck. Ty said screw it, you all should just pile into the back of that mother and get the party started early.
I'm ready to go. Are you all still coming to Bellarmine at 6 or so?
Stay safe fellas....have a good time.
Yet to hear from phil, but that was my plan. I haven't packed anything yet, but I can do that in no time. I am sure it will be leave to get to Bellarmine around 6. What lab are you in?
i'm alive. barely. i think someone roofied me at spring st bar
Glad to hear you're okay, Phil. I'm in the Norton Health Science Center on the 2nd floor down at the end. I forget the room number, but just listen for my voice.
wes, how you do start building grid buildings and the big shit? i saw you've dropped a couple of those and I can't figure out how to get those
I like how Phil warmed up for a weekend of drinking by getting plastered at Spring St. Well done, well done.
Who is going to be the one who dry humps a tiger?
Brian Guinn sends his best to us all and hopes non of us die.
Ask him if he wants to go.Are you all planning to pull up in a big black van and kidnap Wes?
MASTER..MASTER..MASTER OF PUPPETS ARE PULLING YOUR STRINGS, TWISTING YOUR MIND SLASHING YOUR DREAMS.Is that the right song in Old School?
Do we need to kidnap lynnie as well?
yeah, master of puppets is in there, so is total eclipse of heart"Once upon a time i was falling in love, now i'm fuckin' fallin' apart"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0302886/soundtrack
Brock, can we go to the karaoke strip club that you spoke of when you were last in town?
I talked to Chris about it and he said the reviews from it were less than flattering, but who the hell gets online and writes reviews for a topless karaoke bar?A heads up. Nashville is BYOB for adult establishments and apparently they charge you to serve your own drinks. Not that we would visit any of these filthy places since we are up-standing gentlemen and plan only to sip scotch and play cards.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find the A-Team van to transport us to Memphis.
Douglas - when you build a building you can scroll over and select different buildings. You might have to be a certain level to gain access to it. I think I am level 3 right now. So just keep building houses and stuff till you can access them.
I'd be willing to pitch in a few dollars for Natty Sci to buy their own A-Team van, deck it out all sweet inside and use it for future excursions.Since we are all moving the way of "kept men," we'll have to take road trips every once in a while. Who wouldn't want to do that in an A-Team van.
An A-team van will be the first purchase for G&S Pharmaceuticals...well after we start raking in billions so we can squander a few bucks here and there.Shit, I might be even willing to hire Mr. T to drive that bitch around.
Hell... we can probably clone Mr. T just to drive us around in the A-Team van.
How much do we owe for the hotel and van and who do we owe the money to?
I'm estimating the hotel will run $60/head for the weekend and the van + gas $40/head. I paid for it all, so I will be the one whom you should pay.I can't give exact cost on the van because there are extra mileage charges, so I over-estimated a little, but since I don't know how good the gas mileage is, I had to estimate gas costs as well.In any case, I think $100 is a pretty inexpensive weekend trip.
I just hit the ATM in my building and will bring a check for you so I make sure you get your money. I don't want to leave you hanging.
My future wife is a social worker, so I am about as far from being a kept man as a guy can be.
I think he was refering to the fact that pretty much all of us our now gay little bitches in serious relationships (not having a sugar momma, like the term implies). In that respect, you are about as kept as they come.
I thought he was being sarcastic.
i hate being a gay bitch now, especially when i'm the only gay bitch left in town while you fuckers are off having fun. but seriously, have fun, wish i could go, don't die, unless there's gonna' be a keg at your funeral, in which case it'll be sad, but at least there's beer.
Actually, Jay may have moved up a few notches on the "kept/gay" totem pole. At least he's allowed to go to a bachelor party.
Brock, where is your brother
I'm in town.
Have fun, I leave for Peru next week and can't afford a mini excursion before I go...bummer.
You guys have fun, wish I could be there. Try not to kill yourselves and don't get arrested...bail money is low right now all extra funds are going towards gettng a house...maybe Wes can help out if you get arrested for killing the hooker/stripper.Someone throw their drunk ass up against a brick wall for me!
Are going to play the thunderstruck drinking game? That seems like a good way to get pumped up before we go out.
god is out to get me today.
fuck yeah bitches
My first Sailor Jimmy. The night has begun.
Douglas - did you ever figure out how to get the grid buildings?
Nashville. Well done.
wes - not yet, i am a level 3 also, so i don't have a clue how to get 'em.
Whenver you build a house what buildings do you see?
green house up thru nova tower block
Do you see the arrows that you can click on? Looks like a triangular wedge?
nope, my home computer sucks though, and i can't check it at work so maybe it's something there
Ha ha. 75% have hangovers.
well done gentlemen. where did you all party in nashville?
Awesome work fellas.That is your problem Douglas - there is an arrow that allows you to scroll to different buildings.
I expect a higher percentage tomorrow!
wes, daemonsan and ylozitskiy must die
Preparing for death.
I agree. Daemonsan is on my shit list.He hitme with a hazard but I should get $30M+ from rent and my goal is to just fuck him up.
Douglas I just got $41M in rent money. Let me know how you want to hit that bitch?
I figure I am going to start destroying his bonus buildings and then his biggest money makers and build shitty buildings on his shit.
Douglas - I am taking out Daemonsan's bonus buildings. I killed three on one road and hit his biggest income producer with a hazard and am working on the other road as well. You should do the same.
i need to get rid of the hazards that bastard put on me, he fucked with beulah church road, which was one of my good money makers, once i get my shit back up and running i'm gunning for him
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footba...p&type=lgnstebow and others sick, had to fly seperately to UK for the game, might as well try and grasp for straws and hope for a respectable showing today
Douglas - I'll help remove some of your shit.
Make sure you wash your hands afterward.
Douglas - It won't let me demolish your hazards.
Brock - shouldn't you be drunk?
Shouldn't you be in Memphis?
Yes I should be.But why aren't you drunk?

This place is dead and we are not at liberty to discuss details of putt putt and go karting.
We did do a good job at the Rendevous. Could sound like a shady club or bar but it is actually a decent BBQ and rib joint. We had a party of 10 and the guy walks up and says do you have anybody that can't eat meat due to health or religious reasons, we said no and he said "all right I am ordering you all an order of ribs, 2 pitchers of beer, and the 3rd is on me." He made us make his job extremely easy.
can you disclose the amount of pukers?
One that i know of.
Sorry Jerome, my WRs decided to play this week.
Monopoly NewsIm planning on a coordinated attack on "Sir Coy" if anyone is interested, Tuesday or Wednesday night.
i'm in, what's your user name?
Im the FlyingSquirrel.
Operation: Bury the NutI'll post when the attack is eminent, code word for the attack, "Walnuts."
Brent - I'll be in too!!Give me a streetname you own so I can add you to my friends list.I got $70M in rent money today....so I plan on getting $100M tonight and wednesday....we can have a lot of fun with that when wanting to fuck with somebody.
Douglas did you ever figure out how to get more buildings?
There was some karaoke involved too, and we watched a little football. Nothing terribly exciting. My liver is still be recovering though and I think I'm suffering from a touch of DT's today.
Nice. yeah wes, I did, the arrows don't show up on my shitty computer, nor do the pictures of the buildings, just the names, so i just have to click where the arrows would be
don't know if you've noticed by the way that we're in the top ten for the louisville area, you're like 3rd, i think i'm 6th or something
All in all, I'd give the go-karts and putt-putt a BIG thumbs up.
Fucking A, we own this shit.
Don't forget the duck marches. Those were spectacular
Man, Chris and I were so out of control that they thought we were gonna make the ducks fly away. But we just were there to enjoy the majesty of it all.
it's a shame not everyone took the tour of suburban Memphis either. Got the real local feel of the place.
Phil and I upscaled it one night. The club had a velvet rope.
I'm still thoroughly impressed that you still got to go on the tour despite Chris' attempts to foil it.
THIS IS WALTER!!!

joe - that place was impressive. i've never seen a bar in Louisville that could get away with serving drinks of that sort.
clay travis' articles are usually pretty funny. this one as he battles comcast was goodhttp://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/20...seeing-crimson/
I do have to say that was one of the best Denny's and Denny's waitresses ever.
Thank you, Brock, the Walter comments make a lot more sense now.
I think I may have found a great hangover cure...drink about a gallon of water before you go to bed. Of course, you have to be able to hold that much water down too.
I coulda told you that, drink as much water as you possibly can, at least 3 glasses, and pop a tylenol PM so you sleep in later. i forgot to do that a couple weeks ago after i went out drinking for joe's bday and literally went to bed the next night still very hungover.
Phil and I met a very nice person who wanted to discuss biochemical engineering, discrete mathematics and cross country and we had a long intellectual conversation.
I own E. Burnett and Pindell
It's a bad idea to mix alcohol and tylenol. The liver can't keep up with detoxing that combo. Ibuprofen is a lot less toxic to your liver especially if your using it with alcohol.
no shit. it usually is ibuprofen, i just use tylenol pm when i get to actually sleep in. i guess i won't anymore.
Douglas, want to play softball tonight at 7:30?
some good stories on deadspin's failgate this weekhttp://deadspin.com/5369428/the-legend-of-the-vest
I'm a little disappointed Chip didn't get to tour the suburbs too. Valhalla Mother F#$%ers!
joe just asked me about it, i got kaelyn tonight, i need notice. i don't have kaelyn next monday if you need a player
training wheels are a thing of the past. neat demo of a new tire for a kid's bikehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbfe..._embedded#t=110
i tried the buffalo chicken sammich at subway.$2.40 for 6". I got it with spinach lettuce, tomato and a little bit of the light ranch. Not too shabby
Brent when is operation "bust a nut" going down?
Tommorrow around this time, I will have plenty of money and I want to destroy that guy...all his big streets need to go down.
Jake99 is another dude that fucked up and tried to sabotage me last night
I just wanted to thank the guys for showing me an INCREDIBLE time down in Memphis. I've finally shaken all the cobwebs out from getting less than 8 hours of sleep for 3 days, but it was worth it.
ROAR!!!!!
Brock-Remember, no sleep to Brooklyn!
yeah i have a couple dudes that are fucking with my shit.....i just shake my head.
Similar to the words of Brock, if people are fucking with your shit make sure they wash their hands afterward.
if they're fucking shit, they should really wash their dicks too
this morning i was up to #5 in louisville, not sure what you were wes but i'm guessing you might've moved up to #2
Some people like animals others like filth.
Since Brock is getting married, how soon till he becomes obsessed with monopoly?
Pretty freakin' soon.I am #3 but that is probably because I lost $26M in taxes last turn. If I ever find my accountant I am going to bring a world of pain to them.
Note the time and day bitches...but I am actually leading in Fantasy Football. I never lead Fantasy Football.
I put up plenty of points just can't win.
How about USC RB's hand slipping dropping a 275 lb bench press on his throat?
Yeah I saw he was in surgery yesterday, do you have an update?
I think they said he was stable now. It was like a 7 hour surgery or something crazy like that.
That makes me want to stick with Smith machines for benching.
As far as monopoly obsession: I've been into it since it started. Hell, I still play online RISK as often as normal life allows. Michelle is still marrying me despite these obvious nerdy flaws.
The only reason I am doing so well in fantasy football this year is because of how awesome my team name is.
monopoly is addicting, sarah is annoyed whenever she walks in the office and sees me on it now. it's worse for me b/c i can't check it at work, and now that i'm making like 80 million a day it's tough to spend all that quickly, especially when your computer sucks ass
Chicks love the cincinnati bulldozer.
What about the Memphis Bulldozer?
or the cleveland steamer?
Douglas I know what you mean. Conversation between Abby and I last night.A "Hey can I use the computer when you are finished playing your game?"W "Sure, not a problem" as I chuckle.A "Why are you laughing?"W "Well dear it's going to be a while. See that building I just bought? That cost me $500K, and if you look into my bank account I have $94M so I am going to be a while."A - rolls her eyes
Do you think that USC running back ended up with a tracheostomy?
I'm to the point now where i just buy 2 mil. dollar buildings b/c it takes too long if i don't
is that where they put a hole in your throat?
Yes
I could see a USC football player liking the Cincinnati Bowtie (not brock's definition).
Yeah that is what I am doing now as well. You don't get the 1:1 return for your investment, however, you make a lot more rental income over a shorter distance.
By the way, tomorrow night at Tony BoomBozz's Highlands Taphouse location (Bardstown and Eastern Pkwy), between 5:30 and 7:30, it's all you can eat/drink beer/wine/pizza for $15. Sarah's sponsoring a team for the light the night walk this weekend and she set up this fundraiser there tomorrow night.
jesus. i think i get a $1.75 in rent money right now in monopoly

Tonight at 10:00, Sir Coy goes down, he probably thought our war was over, mwah ha ha ha.
i'm on here right now, i won't be in an hour and a half, what's a street he owns? i'll try and hit him early
"fire tower road" is a big one, also "clermont rd"
Douglas take out a school on one of his streets, I have a sewage plant to drop
okay I am on now...who are we fucking up?
okay, ive broken the front lines and made his streets vulnerable, Sir Coy...let's get'em
awesome when i start getting chance cards count me in. I started out with $124M in rent...lots of fucking around to do to this bitch.
I've spent $40M and still haven't got a chance card yet.
Blows, I got like 3 demolitions in a row, then I got 3 tax bills in a row
Cash, I dont want cash, I want fucking prisons, damn it!
This game gets fucking addicting
Wes, you still in the game, he's protected Clermont already, come on man
Brent I have spent $50M dollars building shit and still haven't got a chance card.It's karma man.
$70M and no chance cards.
finally a factory
I've been lighting Sir Coy up...fucker.
I hit him with another factory on Clermont
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
I think Clermont has like 5 hazard buildings
I just took down his school on Bernheim entrance road so he has zero bonus buildings now.
Nice one, I just saw that, we need to hit is other one pitts point rd
I just took down his $6M dollar building that gives him $1.4M in rent each day. He's gonna be pissed on over that one.
Brent where do you want a prison at?
I just created more jobs on Battle Creek Road, economy is booming. I hear there are a lot of vandals on Fire town Road.
That'll give'em 2 on 3 of his biggest streets
I hit Clermont again with a prison because it was his biggest income generator...now he has 3 hazards to deal with on that road.
Next demolition you get hit pitt road, its protected and a big money earner
yes sir will do.
Pitt Road is ready for prisons, sewage plants, and factories
Dude I am almost out of cash.you going to be on tomorrow night?
Mmm, I dont know...ive been selling streets and buying them again to generate cash and building houses for chance cards
I've got $75M to spend.
He's back to full strength, fucking bastard.
Because he's probably cheating with multiple accounts.
For some reason it doesn't matter if you have hazards on your street, all you have to do is build a park and you can get your rent again...weak.
Hmmmmm, that is weird. I thought you'd have to bulldoze that shit first.Does it reduce the amount of his income at all?
didn't know that, i'll have to try that
i tried to get that dude last night but i never got a chance card to demolish anyone's shit
although some chriswporter guy tried to fuck with me by hitting one of my streets that doesn't get me hardly anything, just annoying as hell, so now i gotta go back and fuck him up, especially b/c he's in the top 10 too and gunning for me i guess
Can we refer to people's properties as something other than "shit?" The homo jokes are just too easy.

Foxsports gives the best front courts in college basketball for 2009-10.http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/...718/The-countryUNC #1UK #2ND #18First of all, UNC is going to be good but they lose TH so there goes a lot of production to replace.UK is ranked high because of freshman help....no way I'd rank them #2 to start the season.ND should be #1, because you can put Frankenstein's Monster out there with any two other people and he is going to eat you up. He is the most amazing non-athletic freak I have ever seen play basketball. He scores, he rebounds, he blocks shots, and he shoots the hook shot.
wes, what kind of UK fan are you? you know UK is supposed to be ranked #1 in everything preseason by default. where's your sense of entitlement damn it? we shouldn't be ranked as high as #2 b/c we should be ranked even higher
Douglas - trust me it is there damnit.....but I want to take it back from the basketball world and not just let them hand it back to us. I want these young guys to be hungry and not complacent. I want to seek and destroy and have them kneel before ZOD!!!
Anyone have a recommendation for the cheapest place to buy a good lawnmower?
Joe - check out the little lawn mower place over in that shopping plaza by Bellarmine for a good mower at a decent price. Cheap lawnmowers that can kind of do the job, go to Sears.
so i signed up for monopoly again. Slowly taking over the Adirondacks. I'm already in 4th place (out of 4) for the region.I noticed the dude you guys where going after had $80,000,000 in the bank. You gotta wait until he has no cash on hand to launch the assault. Otherwise it's too easy for him to build back up. With 80,000,000 he could build, what, 1500 little houses? That's enough chance cards to last a lifetime. Just gotta put in the time and dedication.

guy at work's cousin heard while playing golf at Cardinal Club that Tubberville has moved to Louisville and is getting hired after Friday's loss to Pittsburgh.
Just like Spurrier was tailgating in the green lot at Commonwealth. And that was from the Commonwealth Usher.
brent, this max of 4 RB and 5 WR is KILLING me in the legends league. Two of my good RBs are hurt. I had to move around players to the point I had to pick up a second DST just to have a valid roster
there are some bat shit crazy rumors.joe, you get my e-mail yesterday?
Then again, Gruden, Fulmer and Marriuci all have the job too.
It was a good email.
Yep, and we all know how close UK was to hiring Parcells.
lol
one of the notes for the Louisville game made me chuckle:--Just a reminder that U of L has designated Friday as a "Black Out" game. So wear something black...shit, storm the field if we win, I don't care.http://www.cardchronicle.com/2009/9...ragstache-links
Philco - When you make a new post can you use the picture in the link of Tebow on his back? The SEC did not include that hit in the UK vs. UF highlights, basically like it never happened. We are all witnesses.Why you don't want the SEC controlling the media.http://johnclay.bloginky.com/2009/0...trol-the-media/
So what's the over/under on Kragthorpe still being UofL's coach?
How many times has Tebow been sacked in his career?
not enough
Apparently UK's Taylor Wyndham is now a cult hero for delivering that blow to Tebow and knocking him out of the game.
So what your saying is you read today's paper?
I don't get the paper. But I did read cj.com and been on youtube with that hit.And speaking of the paper. They want you to pay to read Bozo the clown.Not gonna happen.
him and eric crawford
Phil, I know what yoiu mean, LT2 is pretty much on the bench for 6 weeks and Thomas Jones isnt producing right now, which leaves me with Fred Jackson and Donald Brown, wtf? I asked him if I could put LT on the IR the other day, he said he didn't really know what the IR was for, so I told him it was for keeper leagues but I thought it was worth a try.
CJ had a big article on that kid today.
Is it worth reading?
The should write an article on the knee of the Florida player that actually knocked Tebow out. Btw, our team name for trivia last night was:"Tebow has been concussedTebow has risenTebow will jump pass again"
this cracked me up:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/pic...turns-sour.html
Phil I actually don't know if the knee knocked him out or if it was Wyndham's helmet under the chin. What I do know it was a damn good hit and then Tebow got lucky he didn't break his damn neck when his head snapped forward. It was kind of erie to watch Tebow lay on the ground after that hit, only because he has taken hit after hit after big hit and still gets up. I love the trivia name though.
Tebow outwieghed the guy that hit him. It was obviously the knee that knocked him senseless. It was a nice clean hit though.
Joe, so I threatened to cancel my DirectTV and they laughed, "You're under contract buddy, go ahead...(background in muffled voice) hey guys, check it out, another chump that wants to cancel while he's under contract (room full of laughter)...so you were saying, sir....that's what I thought, is there any thing else I can help you with today" "How about taking this giant satellite out of my ass you sodomizing son of a bitch!""Not a chance, have a great day, thanks for calling DirectTV"Yeah, so much for getting a discount, but I did cut my bill by $50 by canceling all the premium channels, with the exception of HBO, gotta have entourage, good news is my contract expires 8/10/10 which means I will only endure a $20 charge if they don't get Versus up and running by July so I can enjoy Phil Ligget and the Tour de France. If they have it up, then I'll keep it.
thats bullshit

The food isn't that good. They had fruit, coke and coffee.

Guinn started an arguement that Chris Redman's senior year was the greatest KY HS team of all time. I had to point out that they didn't win state that year. He changed it to Redman's Jr. year that they had teh best KY HS Football team ever.
Nice one. Redman and Ibn Green. Who else did they have?
Tony Driver and Rashad Holman.
Brock/Michelle - Are you all registered anywhere other than Target or Kohl's or is that it?
Tony Driver was pretty good, not sure who Rashad Holman is.

I posted this to ITV. It was a big hit, besides the one fucker who gave me 1 star:Just downloaded the new patch and just wanted to give everyone a heads up on some stuff that they fixed for Louisville:* New barefoot kicker models added. Really they've been there all along, they were just taken out in NCAA 1987 when people realized kicking barefoot was stupid.* New shoulder to the face tackle animation. Chris Campa only tackles this way* When playing against Louisville, play calling tweaks have been adjusted to be more true to life. Louisville will now only run between the tackles with speed backs, run tosses with power backs, run the option to the short side of the field, and run play action passes on obvious passing downs with the QB throwing across his body.* Cory Goettsche is now Louisville's only "impact player"* Removed the option of going for 2 from the playbook for Louisville
If you Monopoly goons have interest in bugging someone. Kenito who owns Chamberlain Lane has been a thorn.Is this the first time a Trinity-X game has been played on a Saturday? What does that say about UofL football?

Rick Bozich just announced rumor of Froman starting at QB. Deinitely going to play.
i'm illiterateif only there was a "bring your drunk brother to work" day
when the froman rumor started someone asked "Any info on who's gonna fill the hole on special teams?"
another good comment was "Being coy with injury reporting & who's available & ready to go, wearing all black...we're playing friggin' Ninja Ball. Look out now, Pitt!"
wow, so wrong
i still can't believe they played his ass on special teams.the follow up comment was "surely we have someone with a redshirt to burn that we could put in for a few plays"
Will Darius Ashley see the field again? We screwed him and burned his redshirt last week so a transfer is going to hurt.
Ashley had his redshirt burnt a few weeks ago when they put him in for a play vs Kentucky. He just didn't get any stats.

Brock, what do you need, 42 points between Crosby, Grant and Rodgers? Go Vikings!
Douglas is down by 3 points. Tonight he has Adrian Peterson going, and I have Percy Harvin and the Vikes defense.Basically, I need Favre to be greedy and hit Harvin with 2 or 3 TD passes or the Vikes defense to get a couple INTs and TDs.
Joe, since you scored 61.5 points with Tynes, Walker, and Rivers, I like my odds of 70% of that with more talented players. Granted, they are all on one team, but the fervor of destroying Favre may be on my side.
I'll let them play it out on the field. go Vikings.
That's why we play the game.
i'm just looking for adrian peterson to display his spurtability and unleash some more of his upside potential tonight as they play it out on the field

Turwaith owns the gene snyder expressway with 4 bonuses. I am gonna teach this bitch a lesson.
Safety!!! Suck on that Green Bay.
If Green Bay would have converted that 2-pt conversion, I would have beat Joe then and there.
Punt. Game over Joe. 1.5 points.
Wes, I'll be taking 1st place back. Thanks for keeping it warm for me.
The best thing that happened to you was that Green Bay had to start slinging the ball to get back in the game. If Minnesota keeps throwing with Favre you never get those 33 gimme points.
of course next week 1/2 your team has a fucking bye....so unless Philco steps up (and Drew Brees is sitting due to a bye) then I will claim it right back.
I am just surprised I keep winning with my awesome WR corps of Devin Hester, Percy Harvin, and Santana Moss.
Of course what is awesome is that I am #1 and only #4 in points.
I am in 7th but am #1 in points. This is bull shit
Sorry Joe. Lots of excitement with zero results.
fuck adrian peterson and his shitty 55 yards, i didn't draft him for that type of production, fuck him
and wes, chriswporter has fucked me with me too, we've traded a few hazards and shit, but he hasn't completely pissed me off yet, monkeytees is getting on my fucking nerves though
I haven't hit chriswporter yet. The other two I am focussing on.Turwaith owns Gene Snyder Freeway and I plan on ruining his bonuses and hitting that shit hard.

Looks like my list is like Joe's fantasy football team. They both get out of the gate well and then it lacks luster.Off to work.
Douglas, you got 6 of 7.
Dan Patrick show had a brilliant idea for the Twins - tigers playoff game today in Minnesota. Have Favre throw out the first pitch to get the crowd into it and the Tigers have no shot.
Which player do you least see play for a new team: Tom Brady, Kobe, Jeter, Peyton Manning
tigers, that's the 7th
Jeter
Just for spite, I'd like to see Boston buy him.
Padres and tigers have. The 7th is the rangers.
i was thinking them, but figured they'd had won one
Brooklyn Decker is on Dan Patrick show. She said worst pick up lines are the ones that play on her name being Brooklyn. Dan immediately said, “no sleep till Brooklyn?” Touché Dan, touché.
Dynamite drop in.
the old BC coach is apparently in front of gruden and tuberville..http://www.cardchronicle.com/
nope
this pic cracks me up http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/06/b...6milk.html?_r=1
i've been right where that pic was taken
Hey card fans, was it this funny when us UK fans were dreaming of a new coach?
it's even funnier knowing how close the dreams came...
Big Tuna just needed to let the ink dry.
Douglas - not going to be a good night against USC for UK. Both our starting corners are out.
How many games does it take for Tubberville to beat Kragthorpe's total wins while at UofL?
12
it's not like i was that optimistic about south carolina in the first place
although s carolina is missing their top d-backs too
When is the last time UK beat the ole ball coach? 1985?
too long to remember.just heard something on the radio i hadn't even realized, brett favre became the first player to beat every NFL team.
oh, and bellarmine basketball is preseason #1:http://d2basketball.com/cgi-script/...0023/002349.htmnot sure what kind of bizarro sports world we're living in now, favre's a viking, BU doesn't suck, and UL, not UK, is in charge of the coaching rumors in the state
i don't believe spurrier has ever lost to UK, as a player or as a coach
by douglas' bizarro sports logic, UK should get the win
They are due.

Who wants to come to a wedding?!I've just received 8 regrets in the last 4 hours from people who already said they were coming.If you didn't get an invite to the wedding, you are getting one now.I'd rather have friends there than old people. 6:30 @ Kye's. Let me know by email.michelleandbrock(dot)schweitzer(at)gmail.com
Spurrier owns UK.He'll go to Lowe's to buy a mop, a bucket and some duct tape to build a QB that can beat us.
I'm starting the Gruden / plane rumors on the internet. Let's see what kind of traction I can get...
here's my flight. i'd post it to the free boards to try and add fuel to the fire, but i want it to grow organically. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/...1410Z/KSTC/KSDFit's like my little rumor baby
That's awesome philco.
Surely Gruden would rather coach than be a pretend coach/analyst.
Philco - how is operation plane tracking coming along?
Fantasy Football news - Michael Crabtree signed with the 49ers and Braylon Edwards was traded to the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets.
Thanks for the heads up Joe. I picked my draft pick back up.
I don't see Crabtree doing much, Braylon Edwards could be an interesting one.
I agree with you Joe. I just picked up Crabtree because I drafted his bitch ass. I figure if there is any chance he plays he is going to be on my bench.
Oh and besides, considering Devin Hester scored me 0.5 points this past week....am I really losing production if I play him?
Hester did leave the game with an injury.

Apparently the BU basketball team is ranked #1 in the country for Div II. Who is getting season tickets?
Did you hear Bellarmine basketball is preseason number 1 in NCAA Div II?
douglas on Tuesday, October 06, 2009 at 3:31 PMoh, and bellarmine basketball is preseason #1:http://d2basketball.com/cgi-script/...0023/002349.htmnot sure what kind of bizarro sports world we're living in now, favre's a viking, BU doesn't suck, and UL, not UK, is in charge of the coaching rumors in the state
Well shit. I guess I should read what other's post.
others
i believe the original post was overlooked and deserved further discussion. I'd be up for heading up to watch a game or two up at Bellarmine.
Awesome Philco, we should do that.On 12/12 they have Indiana University Southeast at home and on 2/20 they have Southern Indiana for homecoming.
Take a look at the schedule and let me know what you think.http://athletics.bellarmine.edu/sch...spx?path=mbball
Season tix are $90 bucks and that gives you 15 home games.
$120 for reserved seats (chairbacks)

you mean about kraggy?
Priorities for an Alabama football fan:1) Roll Tide2) Familyhttp://deadspin.com/5376552/alabama...football-season
Has Tubberville signed the contract yet?If so, be prepared for field position football.
If I were Jurich I think I'd go after Mike Leach of Texas Tech. He has a dynamic offense and the Big East isn't built on defense.....so why not make it fun.
I love Joker but I kind of wish UK would make a run at him.
Of course, being the OC under Hal Mumme isn't going to get you back to Lexington, even if you did blow the whistle on the operation.
Douglas, is this right, your birthday is today and B-mac was the 6th or do I have it completely wrong?
Philco - Is there one coach you like more than the rest being rumored to UofL?I think it is pretty obvious that Krags is or should be gone. With that horrible 3rd QTR UK had he still didn't win the game....and then the losses to Utah and Pitt. If I were a UofL fan I think my list would look like this:Gruden - Young and dynamic coach, would be an all-world hire but does he want to coach college and would he stick around long-term?Mike Leach - Of course TT recruits itself being in Texas, can he pull the Texas recruits North? Jag - Ex BC CoachFulmer & Tubberville - Big name coaches that are very good coaches, but older and maybe not so exciting to watch. They build their teams around solid defense, a strong running game, and owning field position. Running off guard or tackle isn't pretty, but if you have the line and a power back it is methodical and effective. These guys will get W's in the win column and probably "The Ville" off the front of the jersey.
Bobby Bowden
yes, my birthday's today, b-mac's was the 6th. sarah got me guitar hero: metallica and a gift certificate to fritz's to get a massage from another woman. who says women can't understand men?
asian school girl?
not sure if it's the bunny ranch where they'll all line up in front of me and I get to choose, but that would be nice
I believe the list right now is Gruden, TT, and Charlie Strong.
btw, this is what I was told on Monday and it seems to be true. This is the rumor I was mentioning earlier:http://louisvillesportsbuzz.wordpre...-told-hes-done/
if you all didn't see the article on Gillispie in the Herald Leader today, it's a good readhttp://www.kentucky.com/826/story/968001.htmlHarrellson verified to our own Jerry Tipton the rumor that during halftime of last year's game at Vanderbilt, the sophomore forward was banished to a bathroom stall, apart from the team, apparently as punishment for poor play.Then after the Cats' 77-64 loss to the Commodores, Gillispie ordered Harrellson off the team bus and into the team equipment truck for the long ride back to Lexington.
this was on jay bilas' blog today about some new rules for the season:The Food Police: An NCAA memo went out to member institutions awhile back about bagel and bread spreads. In locker rooms all over the country, programs have fruit, energy bars and bagels, which is legal. However, according to the memo, providing cream cheese and butter is illegal. I'm not sure what this rule is all about, but I would love to have been in the meeting room to hear the discussion when it was decided.
UK basketball held a Women's clinic last night where they had women come and meet the players and staff and all that good stuff. Anyway, Calipari apparently extended a special invitation to Jeannine Edwards (she of "that's really a stupid question" fame), and she showed up. I found it funny Cal's throwing not so subtle digs at the ex coach
hey joe, you see one of the headlines on deadspin today?"George Lopez Is This Year's Frank Caliendo"Didn't you send that exact text to me yesterday? I chuckled.
I texted that to you and Cuban. Cuban was trying to make an over/under bet on the number of references to George Lopwez.
Bobby Bowden is a great coach. I just figured nobody would give him another chance after his stint at Auburn.
Bobby is FSU. Are you talking about Tommy or Terry? Which one is Clemson?
tommy
for what it's worth, my boss's dad is out at the cardinal club today, and the word is kraggy is stepping down after the game this weekend and gruden's the man
My cousin's baby's momma's nieces babysitters dad is Tony Dungy's barber and he said that Tony Dungy is interested.
someone posted this on ITVI just had lunch with a guy who's barber's son drives a truck from Rumpke. According to him, Kraggy's house will be taken off of their route at the end of December. Since Rumpke bills quarterly, this has to be true.
I must say UK fans do coaching searches way better, spreading rumors and innuendo is all part of the fun
ha, well, i have the salary AND the location of Gruden's home search. Not only that, but I can tell you the golf courses TT has played at.What's Wes talking about with Auburn and Bowden?
Oh Joe mentioned Bowden.
Sorry Joe mentioned Bobby and I thought about the former Auburn head Coach Terry Bowden.
Cuban - What's the latest on the board trustee wanting Bobby gone.
well then where the fuck did he play golf at? Things like this need to be spread around the city like a violent wildfire. The more details the better
Orlando Cabrera is no Bo Jackson:http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/bi...?urn=mlb,194747

So how long till John Gruden bypasses Klusterfuck on the wins list?

at least comedy central
I like the Phillies style. Pinch hitting, proffesional hitter, Matt Stairs. He walks and in to pinch run, yesterdays winning pitcher, cliff lee.
Joe - you just needed to play for the Phillies to showcase your abilities.
I don't know how I drank that half a fifth of bourbon last night
what the fuck did you do?
Why a half a fifth on a Thursday night? Once upon a time, I remember doing that. Calling in today?
I was at home and bourbon sounded good. I made it in to work. Caught the late bus in with Cuban. Basically I took an hour of leave this morning.
was laura at least home with you or were you that guy drinking by yourself? If you're going to celebrate my birthday, at least invite me to the celebration...
Laura was drinking wine. Don't have a glass of wine before or after bourbon. The 2 don't taste good together.
Wow Joe, sounds like you are already married and drowning your sorrows. Are you okay?
Top 10 Most Annoying Sports Fans.#8 Duke Basketeball Fans"Every Friday night, just before Dick Vitale pleasures Mike Krzyzewski under the scorers table, a collection of nerdy Duke students pitch tents outside Cameron Indoor Stadium and stay up all night playing board games while waiting in line to watch their team make yet another glorious run to the second round of the NCAA tournament. They put on full blue body paint, jump around like a bunch of meth addicts for three hours, and then wonder why the school’s virginity rate is right on par with their field goal percentage. The average Duke fan is like that kid in elementary school with a collared shirt and pleated slacks who asks the teacher if she forgot to assign homework, while his Mommy tells him that “people are just jealous of how unique and talented you are” when nobody comes to his birthday party at the Planetarium."

Petty, stupid stuff that adds up and gets annoying.
Yeah I know how that goes.Is Brock having an open bar tomorrow?
At lunch I went to Borders and read some magazines. There is a mountain bike that is the same brand as Phil's bike that has a bottle opener on it. Awesome.Also, Louisville needs an urban free ride park. It is basically like the skate park but for mountain bikes. They looked awesome in th emagazine.
I really hate Rick Bozich. Why must this assclown pick up a stick and poke Spurrier before UK plays them? Oh that's right, because he is a UofL loving cockgobbler.Sorry for the rant.http://www.courier-journal.com/arti...t+made+Spurrier

anyone make it to the breakfast at that hotel today. that place must have looked ROUGH
The breakfast area was clean @ 10am when I stuck my head in to look.I was wondering what people would have been grossed out more by: the 500 beer cans and spilled beer or the 2 Crave cases from White Castles. The after-party lasted until 5am... and we still made it to the brunch, which was ridiculously delicious.

Columbus was a great man, I earned this day off because of his sacrifice.
if columbus wasn't a dipshit and missed south america by hundreds of miles, you'd be working today. that's deep
What is that supposed to mean? He was looking for Asia. If he hadn't stumbled across the "New World," someone else would have, and we would be celebrating that person who raped and pillaged natives while spreading disease.
Columbus day is definitely the stupidest of all federal holidays. No question about that. We might as well get Arbor day off too.
so my hockey team got our butts kicked last night. So we were down 6-4 and they got a garbage goal. So I'm sitting on the bench and my buddy Eddie goes "At least our game had more offense than the Bills v Browns game". I chuckled.
Holy crap. I am so excited about this article that I'm posting it before I even read it. So my argument about Vick is that what he was doing to dogs was never that much different than us paying $50 for a ticket to watch football players beat the ever living shit out of each other.Well great minds think a like.

Chris - this is the word on Mike Hartline's knee injury from the UK game this past weekend."NO torn ACL. MCL tear, PCL tear and cartilage"Is that good or bad? And how long would recovery take?
Jerome Bettis missed only 1 game with a tour MCL.
torn
Hartline being hurt might be the best thing for UK
no it's not at all, for this year anyway. for next year, only if they bring in newton and he gets reps under his belt for next year, but for this year, not at all. he's the best QB they've got this year, hands down. people were just getting on him b/c he had two bad games in a row, against the #1 and #2 teams in the country mind you. he was playing his ass off against s. carolina in the first half, even the guy that replaced him said that was the best game he'd ever seen hartline play
Hartline did play a great game against USC before he got injured. What really pisses me off about the injury is it came on a play that SHOULD have been blown dead (delay of game penalty).
and they're saying 3-4 weeks out minimum
but most likely gone for season
Thanks for the update Douglas.
i forgot who it was, eric crawford maybe, that brought up what if that had happened to tebow, gone done on a dead play. there'd be sports reporters having heart attacks while they wrote about it
everybody die?
I think so.
Douglas are you still playing Monopoly? I keep logging into my account each day so I can get my rent money but that is it. Right now I have $1.5B in my account.
yeah i am, that's a nice little nest egg right there
I think I might buy some shit tonight, but I'll be there all fuckign night spending that much money.
just buy monopoly towers that are like 100 million or something apiece, won't take long
Ah good point.
I need another holiday.
i'm still waiting for my first one
i have no idea why nor do i care. my hockey magazine had an ad from warrior for their gloves with hot chicks on it. I went to their website to look at their gloves because i am a sucker for girls.there is a video of them. they are easily the two hottest chicks i have ever seen in my life. no jokehttp://www.warriorhockey.com/media/eraser-girls/
not good info here. I read two separate articles about chicken wing prices going up.Buffalo Wing Prices Get Out Of Controlhttp://www.cnbc.com/id/33292248?__s...ag*&par=RSS‘Boneless’ Wings, the Cheaper Bite http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/13/b...my/13wings.htmlSomeone referred to it as the "era of peak wings"
There is just something inherently wrong requiring a fork to eat wings (boneless).
anyone interested in a good mountain bike ride today?
On call, but the rest of the week should be good for me.
I need to do something today to loosen up after playing 3 outfielders in a softball game last night. I'm a little sore from all that sprinting and throwing. Nothing like beating a softball team of white trash rednecks by a 10 run mercy rule in the 5th inning in the playoffs with 1 less player in the field and taking an automatic out every time through the lineup. We pulled a walk off scoring from 2nd on a tagup with the last batter of the lineup before the automatic out to get the 10 run mercy rule. We celebrated and they argued with the ump then a wife yelled from the stands lets take this to the parking lot. It was beautiful.
Turner's...you've got to love it.
You know we're going to lose our first game next week.
Just like last season?We need 10 players first.

looks like the freshman is gonna' start on saturday vs. auburn for UK. helluva way to say welcome to the SEC, on the road against a top 25 team
Newton or the other one?
Newton, Moss had should surgery and isn't ready yet.I don't like the idea of Newton starting, I'd like to see him get worked in gradually.
It will be interesting to see how his decision making is. He is obviously a more imposing figure but Mike was doing a decent job at managing things against USC. Figures he'd get hurt after we finished the toughest part of our schedule.
Anybody had any confirmed swine flu cases at work yet?
actually a daughter of a lady i work with got it
so has anybody heard of Drake? Is he supposed to be cool? apparently he's gonna be at big blue madness. damn i'm getting old
Who the hell is Drake?
a rapper
apparently two top ten hits over the summer
Drake was on some TV show then put out some rap album.
No swine flu.Drake is rap that is WDJX rap not real rap and the radio killed it.
The name isn't familiar. What songs does he do?
best i ever had is one
Gruden to the Redskins
Ah now I know who Drake is, but that's not rap music is it?Big Tuna to Louisville?
Joe is that just the rumor mill with Gruden or did the skins ink him?
rumor mill, but it's been picking up steam...and r.i.p. captain lou albano
rumor just heard on ESPN radio. When skins fire Zorn he will be their top candidate.

Classic NFL Plays Tecmo-izedhttp://yepyep.gibbs12.com/2009/10/c...ays-tecmo-ized/
Douglas - UK received a commitment from Eric Simmons today. He is a non-evaluated HS player that plays opposite the oppose corner of UK prospect Darius Robinson. He is 6'0", 190 pounds with 4.4 speed. I haven't found much on him other than he has something like 6 picks this year.
Douglas - UK commitment Raymond Sanders' football team is playing on ESPNU at 6 pm. If you get bored, you can check out one of our future players.
non evaluated? how does that happen?
the correct term is under the radar
He hasn't been evaluated by Scout or Rivals meaning a 1-star on Scout and a 0 star on Rivals.He camped at UK and ran a 4.38 40 yarder there, but was consistently in the 4.4-4.44 range.
Phil, what was your 40 out of high school?
Here are some Under Armour Combine Numbers. #90 is Simmons.http://combines.underarmour.com/res...ts/Atlanta.html
My best time was a 4.65 at the height of track season - timed by a really bored coach wondering why a CC guy was interfering with his football players during track practice.
opps, 4.75. My bad.
joe / chris, your mom's in the neighborhoods section of today's paper

I'm just glad she wasn't quoted in the article talking about estrogen and psychiatry
Does she basically believe the greater the levels of estrogen in the body the more crazy you are?
One women has 3 sons and they joke on her and say she goes to knitting for eh estrogen.Another woman said knitting is cheaper then a psychiatrist
Well I survived and Douglas you would be right in Bolivia the Yungas road and I read somewhere it was like 3000 deaths per year but now they kind of limit the traffic on the road, there are only a few trucks going through and I think they are nuts.
Dre Bly fumbles his interception. Way to go jackass.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k3sA0_29DQ
boiling point already? read this shit. I'm irritated with the performance, but damn I'm not ready to fire anyone yet. Listened to the local talk radio today same stuff. overrated as a recruiter is my personal favoritehttp://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/
Shit if you guys are firing any coach I hope UK is hiring them.
NFL Network reports if UL vacancy arises Gruden top guy.
he did go fishing with jurich after all
It is on Sportscenter, NFL Network and the internet with legitimate sources.
i believe it, they seriously did go fishing two weekends ago
A rumor I did hear was that Jurich was attempting to fire Kraggy last season but a deal could not be met on the buyout. If everything comes out and Jurcih pulls this off, I may regain some respect for him.
RIP ... Captain Lou Albanohttp://www.newsday.com/entertainmen...-dies-1.1523986
I heard the Big Tuna joined in on their expedition.
What does the Big Tuna have to do with anything?
just referencing the rumor mill
I really don't consider it a rumor any more that UL is interested in Gruden. I believe the NFL Network and ESPN made that pretty clear by saying UL officials said....
I heard Big Tuna joined them.
The funny thing is about the Big Tuna, is he really was very close to coming to Kentucky. I joking say he justed needed to let the ink dry, and yes it was that close.Personally, I hope Gruden stays in the NFL. And if Gruden avoids UofL like the swine flu then I hope Mike Leach stays away as well. After those two, I really don't care who they land.
Joe, what do you mean "if Jurich pulls this off?" Firing Kragthorpe and hiring Gruden? Jurich is about the best thing that has happend to UL athletics ever. His Kragthorpe hire was a little weak, but he made hires that brought recognition to the football team. He got the basketball team turned around. (Of course Denny Crum's situation could have been handled better.) The baseball team has made its way out of obscurity and to a World Series. Women's basketball final 4 (not that anyone cares). Kraggy was a little blip on the otherwise fine resume of Jurich.
The respect I have lost for him over the handling of the football situation I would gain back if and when he dumps Kragthorpe and hires a respectable replacement and quits with the i am standing behind my man.
Word on the street is that "I am standing behind my man" is simply to show potential hires the loyalty they will receive from the athletic department should they take the job...
With the excess of NFL coaches available, now is the time to go for the glory.
One thing to keep in mind with gruden is that as long as he doesn't coach in the NFL, Tampa Bay will pay him $5 million a season for the next three years. He could coach at Louisville, ND or wherever and be basically paid $8 million a year. He goes to the Skins, he won't get that kind of money.
no shit, hadn't heard that
Fuck, I'd sit on my ass and collect 5 million per year. When that runs out I am sure there will be a lot of coaching opportunities in college or NFL.
Jurich has helped out UofL athletics tremendously. Kragthorpe knows the game of football and is a decent coach. He has won some pretty decent coaching awards at these clinics and shit. To be honest, he was a guy I was hoping MB had on his shortlist if Brooks left before naming Joker HC in waiting.
I'm calling bullshit.
Michael Bush is getting some good press.He's on the homepage of The Onionhttp://www.theonion.com/content/index
Some dude from the onion av club has a youtube channel called "Great Moments in Ownage"It's awesomehttp://www.youtube.com/user/ZODIACMOTHERFUCKER
Calling bullshit on what?
"To be honest, he was a guy I was hoping MB had on his shortlist if Brooks left before naming Joker HC in waiting."
we arent talking ex-tulsa basketball coaches here.
if i am not mistaken, the OC at Tulsa was the genius, not Kraggy.
Anyone else following the news about the 6-year-old in a balloon?http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/15/co...loon/index.html
Louisville did get a commitment from 3-star #126 ranked WR Stephan Robinson. He is a 5'9" waterbug type WR that is dangerous in the open field. I wanted UK to offer him, but we were recruiting him at DB.It will be interesting to see if Patterson follows him to UofL. I know Tim Patterson has grade issues and more than likely will need to be placed, however, if he ever gets to campus you have a fantastic football player.
I think an NFL coach is a bad idea, unless it is a situation like Saban, Petrino, or Pitino. They are good college coaches who failed in their respective professional sports and probably have no interest in going back to the professional ranks. Gruden was a successful NFL caoch whao may drop a college team in a heartbeat to get back to the pros. A good college coach who has made a name for himself may still defect, but isn't necessarily as likely.
Gruden can build the program for 3 years and bail so we can hire a new Kragthorpe to fall back to where we started.
I am serious. Kragthorpe was suppose to be a real up and comer, just like Gillispie. Atleast your coach wasn't coaching drunk.From the wiki so you know this true about his early career.Kragthorpe earned a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1988 from West Texas State and received his MBA in 1989 from Oregon State University. He then spent more than a decade as an assistant coach at several colleges. At age 26, he became offensive coordinator under Steve Axman at Northern Arizona University. He left in 1994 to join Matt Simon's coaching staff at the University of North Texas. After leaving the state of Texas for one year, serving as quarterbacks coach under Dan Henning at Boston College in 1996, Kragthorpe came back to join R. C. Slocum's staff at Texas A&M. He served as quarterbacks coach in 1997 before replacing Steve Marshall as offensive coordinator in 1998. Texas A&M won a Big 12 championship in 1998.In 2001, Kragthorpe left the collegiate ranks to become quarterback coach under head coach Gregg Williams for the Buffalo Bills. He trained quarterback Drew Bledsoe. who had arguably the best season of his career in 2002. In 2003, Kragthorpe took over his first head coaching position, succeeding Keith Burns at the University of Tulsa.
Depending on your point of view, you also have to give Jurich and Kragthorpe a little respect for cleaning up the program. If we're not winning, we better at least not have stupid ass headlines in the sports page for inexcusible behavior. And we don't have a complete douchebag for a coach like the last two. Of course, I'd trade a few shenanigans for a goddamn winning season at this point.
UofL can go get a guy like Tommy Tuberville or Phil Fulmer and they will win in the big east. They will bring with them a power running game and a very good defense which may not all that sexy to watch but it wins games. Actually maybe they can't get those guys. UofL fans are as bad as UK fans in football. The only problem is we fit more into our stadium so our boos grow louder.
I think Kragthorpe has done a pretty decent job considering he had to clean house when he got there.And don't put that on Jurich, he did let Willie Williams in the door.
That's the risk you take hiring an up and comer. Hire someone who has already made a name for themself. That's the mistake UK made with Billy G and UL mad with Kraggy. UL had a chance to entice a better coach when they were on top of the Big East, and build a strong program beating up on not so good teams. Now that's not going ot be so easy.
I agree Chris. If Jurich wasn't so hell bent on hiring Kraggy maybe things would have been different.
I'm sure Kragthorpe would have already kicked Jennings and Smith off the basketball team.
There are multiple people on here that have "accidentally" tried to fight a cop.
I wouldn't kick those guys off the team. They got arrested for resisting arrest. I am sure most of us would get arrested for resisting arrest if we were ever to the point of getting arrested.Just sounds like a bad situation to me and I bet the undercover cop was being a dick....because that's what most cops are that are at social gathering at 1 am.
