Damn it, Ritchie, you knew what I meant - Bama is favored by 4.5, so -4.5. -/+ what's the difference, you guys are going to win by 7.

OK, then I am guessing young is the characteristic of note?? I'm up for that, without question.

Bama loses.............................Jamie you are deluded....come over to the purple side.

OLS · 11-01-2011, 11:53 AM

Not even close, Mike......They wear swimsuits more, but the genes are in Bama's favor, I'm afraid.
NOW, they DO have more fat women per capita in Bama than FLA, so you have that, anyway.

Cocktail parties ain't the only thing done outside for the Florida-Georgia game:

Surely there was a more secluded spot that did not require jumping a 6ft fence??

rizzle · 11-03-2011, 09:46 AM

I've been putting a lot more thought into the game, Brad. Bama still wins.

Powers · 11-03-2011, 12:09 PM

I like the Tide at home as well, but I'm staying away from bettin' on this one

SvilleKid · 11-03-2011, 01:13 PM

The game DOES present me with One BIG problem!!! I will be driving my wife back home from Mississippi Saturday night, on a route that normally takes us thru T-town, and probably right around 10:30 to 11:00 pm. Exactly when I figure the game will be over!!! All routes that by-pass T-town are back-roads. Twisty, rolling, two-lane roads thru the woods type back-roads. And will add at least 50 more miles driving.

Is the extra driving time, on less than optimal roads, in the dark, a better option than "after-game" traffic on the interstate and/or U.S. Hwy 11? Keep in mind that I will be going with the traffic flow all the way into Birmingham. And I've done that trip in game traffic several times before (my old hunting club was west of T-town). There are ALWAYS wrecks. I'm thinking the normal drive time from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham of 45 minutes will be a minimum of 2 hours (and could be 3 or more if there are major accidents). And I absolutely hate driving in heavy traffic. It turns me into a werewolf!

I'm thinking of an alternative route out of Greenwood, Ms that will bring me into I-22 (between Bham and Memphis) way up near Hamilton. Then, just north of Bham, back roads over to Springville that avoids all the commercial areas that would have "after-game" fans.

Needless to say, I will not be watching the game live, as I will be driving from about 7 pm to just after midnight (normal time), and probably more like until 1 am, given the need to avoid the game traffic. Oh well. At least I have the game set to record on the dvr. And I have satellite radio, so I can listen to the game the whole trip.

Roll Tide!

OLS · 11-04-2011, 06:33 AM

You KNOW that is some bad traffic, if you have ever been trapped on I-20 at those times, before and after are
just awful. First I have to question being on the road at all. This is a game you sit down and watch. I have
turned down plans to go places on Saturday and declined on the off chance I have car trouble or get arrested or
some random event keeps me from the TV at the appointed hour.

But obviously you have to do what you are doing, or you wouldn't be doing it during the game of the century. Me,
I'd stop at a motel and watch the game then get on the road. Or you could Zen out and listen to the post game
shows on the radio in traffic. Maybe you will even make great time and miss the traffic, or they go to overtime,
(which would KILL ME). It's not like you will be stuck in traffic cause of some idiot motorist, you will there waiting to
get home, among your fellow Bama fans, who will need your support to get over the loss while they also sit in traffic.
You can listen to all the Bama folks on the radio, slamming the officials, or the LSU cheating players, or even the fringe
ones who call for Saban's head. Heck you can even call in to the radio show yourself and tell them not to feel bad
because it's only a game after all.

I hope it works out for you, Kid...

OLS · 11-04-2011, 06:41 AM

You normally go through Starkville and Columbus? Wow, there is NO good way to go from Greenwood to Birmingham.
You could invent the flying car.
If this is all about not missing church in the morning, I'd tell em not to lay out your good suit.
Stay in MS a few hours longer, stay overnight, get on the road a bit earlier than planned.
That is a terrible challenge of just trying to avoid Tuscaloosa...nigh on impossible.

rizzle · 11-04-2011, 08:31 AM

Yeah, man, I'd watch the game in Mittippi and drive back in the morning.

On the map, an alternative route by veering off at Greenwood and going thru Winfield to I-22 only adds 6 miles over my normal route. However, the roads will be two lane, and 45-55 mph, vs U.S. 82, which is almost all 4-lane and 65 mph. The alternative route would also give me the ability to by Bham to the north over backroads (between Brookside and Springville) that I have driven on all my life. And, I'm familiar with the Alabama parts of the alternative route, having run it a hundred times going to family reunions in NE Mississippi. So, it's not ALL bad news or unknown road!

Staying not really an issue if that is what I want, since my wife's travel nurse company has her an apartment set up. I just have a really good king bed at home (verses a half-way queen at apartment). Plus, there are some family issues concerning my elderly mom. I am a night person, used to staying up to one or two am most nights, but hate the mornings. Plus, morning driving will be east, 5 hours into the rising sun.

Also, thinking things thru, if we leave Sunday morning at normal "get-up-for-work" time, we will be thru T-town about the time the RV's all are packed up and hitting the road. And when the people staying over on Saturday night head back out. So, Sunday mid-morning traffic after the game will be nearly as bad as Saturday night.

My intention is to NOT even listen to the game on the way home. It is being recorded, and I do not mind watching it delayed. My children have orders NOT to let us know the outcome. We can then watch the game off the dvr (and I can fast forward thru the commercials and the useless pratter of the mindless announcers. I swear, the commentators have gotten so bad on TV, I often watch the games with the sound muted!

Took the Tide with the 4.5 points. I'm seeing a 20-10 score.

Took Ark at -4.5 and Vandy at +10.5.

rizzle · 11-05-2011, 02:18 PM

Enjoy your last few unbeaten hours of 2011, OLS.

OLS · 11-05-2011, 05:58 PM

LSU wins this game three ways.

1.) Best kicking game on the field. Brad Wing is King. We are going to plant you guys so deep on punts that you will
have little chance to get out of your own end against our D.

2.) LSU defense has more big plays

3.) LSU QBs make fewer mistakes.

I look forward to EACH and every one of you popping in tonight to offer your congratulations.
Now let's get ready to rock.

-----

Uh-oh, Mike the Tiger fell down on the running out to the field....this might be bad, haha.
