  1. I re-watched the Maryland game on LHN twice this week.  After watching, I convinced myself that we weren't as bad as I really thought and that despite a slow start, we would still be a decent to good football team this year.  Then I watched the Tulsa game and have been brought back to reality.

    Mangino does and always will deserve a statue for this one achievement.  And it's borderline bind moggling.  To this day, 10 year later.

    It would take 30 years to mine enough metal to finish such a statue.

    This is the type of game that will serve as fuel for the rest of the season. This year will be special, this team will be special.

    I believe in this team and I’m behind them 100%.

    I don't know what the hell you were watching, but from what I saw we couldn't beat off.  Our shit just got pushed in.

    I need to be convinced to see a reason for optimism.

  4. FedEx took credit cards so I didn't burn my cash on alcohol.

    I found a place that sold some alcohol during the rain delay.  

    Other than that, I don't know what the positives were.  That was really, really bad.

    Just think of how much worse it will be in years to come when the SEC has had as much first hand experience with aggy that the SWC and B12 had.

    It will just be glorious to read and hear about.

    This is exactly the kind of exposure aggy was looking for when they made their 100 year decision.  I'm so happy I have so many more years of laughter remaining.  Must say it again...No Takebacks!

    Another good part 
     
    -If Fisher is terminated 'without cause,' he will be paid the full amount remaining on his contract. 25 percent of that would be in a lump sum paid within 60 days of his termination with the remaining balance paid in equal annual payments through Dec. 2027. Fisher would not be required to mitigate the University's payments by seeking new employment and, if Fisher is able to secure another job prior to the end of his contract, the University is not entitled to any offset related to his new employment agreement.

    Even on the aggy curve, they got bent over.

    More Colt.  I'll never forget that run.  I think people underestimate how athletic Colt was.

    People do.  He came right after Vince so it looked different than what we were used to.  I don't think anyone appreciates how fast Colt was.

    OK I'll bite.  We are staying on Georgetown at the Embassy Suites (have 3 kids in tow, needed space and walkable neighborhood for restaurants, etc).  Kids are 3, 5 and 7.  Getting in late Fri and me and 2 kids are doing the game Saturday.  Otherwise staying around Sat afternoon/evening, all day Sunday and probably heading back to NE not too late on Mon.  Rec's for must-do with that age group?  Air and Space museum is a given.  Seeing some of the cool big monuments as well.  But what else?  Good restaurants to go to with kids that are not far from where we're staying?  And also, what is best method for getting to see all the sites with 3 little ones and pushing a stroller?  Should we just drive and and park or do public transit?  

    I would still do Metro because you'll spend a lot more time trying to find a parking space and getting your kids in and out of it than you will getting your kids on and off Metro.  Plus, they think trains are cool.  If it's a small stroller, it can fold up and go up the escalators.  If not, most of the Metros have a working elevator. I raised twins here and we Metro'd everywhere with a big double stroller until they outgrew it.  Even with a broken elevator, it was a lot easier to fold it up and haul it up an escalator than dealing with parking.  

    As far as museums, Natural History is great for kids.  The Building museum near Gallery Place was awesome when mine were young but I  honestly don't know if that's still the case.  Things may have changed when they started charging for admission.

    As far as restaurants, I'll let someone else answer that one but Embassy Suites is walkable to a lot.
