      - oh yeah, but still, that likely clocks in at least around $1,500 for the day here (considering how impossible getting 8 seats together would be.) - TFox Dec 3, 06:40 3
        
        oh, we're meeting at the bro's house at 5pm for the big 'tailgate' which is really 'backdecking' - Elf Andie Dec 3, 06:41 2
        
        you'll still pass a ton of tailgaters on your way in, i'd assume. -- nm - TFox Dec 3, 06:41 1
        
        i don't know if we do that here - we don't have a big lot around the stadium... -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 3, 06:42

The New Jersey Nets lost their 18th game to start the season.....I wonder if they can string together at least 4 more to top the Baltimore Orioles' - Will Hunting Dec 3, 05:43 15
- and I thought the Raptors were sucking... -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:02

        Oh, right. It was when they came home for the next series that it was fan appreciation day. -- nm - Inigo Dec 3, 06:30
        
        yup, and that was not even a bad Orioles lineup. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 06:23 1
        
        Yeah...our pitching sucked no doubt...but any lineup with Murray and Ripken should be able to do something. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 06:25
- what's the NBA record for any losing streak (whether it started the season or not)? -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 05:44 2

  - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 05:46
Mel Kiper Jr has Clausen as the #1 QB on his Board...doesn't he suck? Or does the ND record reflect on Weis rather than him? -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 05:06 4
- They have a good offense this year with some skill players and an experienced line. Their defense is abysmal. - Will Hunting Dec 3, 05:12
- Their offense was good, terrible defense though. He was a solid college QB and could potentially be a good pro. - Don Homer Dec 3, 05:09 2
  - *punches Don Homer in the eye* nm -- nm - Clausen Dec 3, 06:02
  - your IM was my thought as well. -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 05:23
