  1. That unnecessary roughness no call on the first Minnesota turnover turned out to be huge.  Turned into 3 points for Denver, which was the difference in the game.

    The SEC decision to only play conference games in 2020 spared ACU and North Texas from the aggy steamroller, and kept them from running that total to 19 (presumably) 

    As usual, the rest of the SEC conspires to thwart aggy dominance.

    You'll take your November game against Lamar and like it.

    Nah.  I don't mind scheduling someone like Louisiana-Monroe or some other lower-tier FBS program in that slot, but scheduling Lamar would be shameful, just like aggy scheduling Abilene Christian is shameful.

    To me that all adds up to a road W provided we don't run into some bullshit 40 MPH wind with a -5 windchill. 

    The Saturday high in Ames is predicted to be 58, so temps should be in the 40's at kickoff.

    NWS forecast for Ames tomorrow night -- good football weather. 

    Saturday Night

    Mostly clear, with a low around 33. West southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.

    Always makes me laugh that people act like the guys (or girls) they went to middle and high school with and formed long-lasting friendships with should be dropped just bc they went to aggy.

    Yeah, but how much of the "cult"ure is built upon their insane drive to set themselves apart from and above their big bro: "varsity"?

    I'm from a family of ags. The answer is "all of it."

    If it's still possible to order the "Don't Care, Got Jimbo" t-shirts, you'll be able to knock out all your Xmas shopping at once.

    An aggy told me "a hall of champions doesn't necessarily mean championship trophies. It's about the spirit and tradition of champions."

    They look at shit that is unrelated to champions.

     

    As if they would know about the "spirit and tradition of champions."

  8. Need recs for a good restaurant off the Strip -- something unique and/or where the locals hang.  Can be any kind of cuisine.  Already have Piero's lined up one night, but need something for a second night.  Have done Lotus of Siam (which is outstanding) the last two times we were in Vegas, so looking for something different this time.
