We'll see how this goes... There'll be alcohol and football, so it can't be that bad. The games of interest to me are Pittsburgh at Utah and USC at Hawaii.
Sorry but I will be joining various other Seattle area Hokies for drinking and watching multiple games (I hope no preseason NFL) at our regular Hokie bar. I will be twittering until my batter runs dead.

How is everyone getting to the game? My friends and I were thinking of taking the metro to Landover and walking.. anyone know if this is a bad idea? We want to start at ~10am so we're gonna grill and booze somewhere in Arlington til ~3 and then head over.

Do you HAVE to be at work at 8pm Tuesday morning or something? Based on past Redskins games it will take at least an hour to leave the stadium parking lot. Probably longer as most people leave during the 3rd Q at Skins games...

I don't get ESPN 3(60) so no seeing the Wake game, which I would so be watching if it was on. As far as getting to the game Monday this what you have to do - Live out of town.
When talking to a friend months ago he said get out here for the game and I will take care of the rest. I am flying so I will have no car. We are actually having a designated driver to and from the game but guess who it isn't - this guy. So the next time there is a big game on a school night, just relocate for a month or so before hand, problem solved.

See I would do that but myself (and all my friends who are coming) just graduated in May (or are finishing up their last semester)... So we're in Arlington now and there's no way we're going to find somebody to DD for us haha. I think the metro is the only option for us

only watched about 45 mins of the socar/somiss game. socar's rb looks pretty solid. how long has steven garcia been there? i swear he was taking snaps behind center when i was in my super(duper) senior year in bburg like 5 years ago...

Phone charger
I got a battery charger for my phone and it's been the best $35 I've spent recently. This can charge my phone like 2.5x: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017KH6OU
Monday
How is everyone getting to the game? My friends and I were thinking of taking the metro to Landover and walking.. anyone know if this is a bad idea? We want to start at ~10am so we're gonna grill and booze somewhere in Arlington til ~3 and then head over.
off tomorrow
hurricane winds and rain .. make driving around work (water/flooding) too dangerous.
hell yes!
driving to the game and then driving home 4 hours!
Why drive right home?

oldest daughter
first day of school, kindergarten 4 ... well, i call it glorified day care ... the wife wants me in attendance, so i can watch her cry.
BeerControl
Not staying the night? How are you going to enjoy 100 beers if you're driving home after?
I'm Assuming...
The beauty of the designated driver. I remember when Barney Gumble was my DD one evening. Like, woah!
on good behavior
monday.
thinking rustico or churchkey sunday night.
Wake Forest
I'm assuming everyone is watch Wake Forest on ESPN3.com?
Rattlers vs. Swagger
Who wins?
Swagger Always Wins
Unless it's raining.
Prerequisite to kick off
Do yourselves a favor and read this: http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2010/9/2/1657904/football-season...
can't wait
for pitt game ... i hope utah takes it to them.
i like watching wannstache get angry, looks like he is crapping his pants.
Utah better win and cover
No ESPN3
I don't get ESPN 3(60) so no seeing the Wake game, which I would so be watching if it was on. As far as getting to the game Monday this what you have to do - Live out of town.

Riding the Metro after midnight is an absolute shit-show, prepare yourself for some good times.
Slobberknocker
Presbyterian makes Wake look like '01 Miami. Awful, this game.
I'm back ladies and gents.
I have brought PBR.
Laundry
So many flags in the USCe So Miss game, hooray for Utah-Pitt.
did you bring some for the rest of the class?
i want a pbr. i'm at the office "working" aka - finishing up shit i HAVE to do before leaving for DC tomorrow AM while working on a special project while USC vs Southern Miss plays on ESPN3.

Coming to the BSU game
Will be my first live Hokie experience since the USC game. Holler for a fuckin dollar.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Agreed
Sweet, 8 pound, 6 ounce baby Jesus must have wanted me to witness the carnage in person.
which one am i?? ;)
BA
i don't know who you are, sir...
but mr. box, that is a sweet ass avatar.
What can I say?
I hate snow.
dont worry all
I am here, and I brought beer
sigh
i hate watching the gamecocks.
always so boring. Pitt/Utah soon!
Gonna miss most of
the UConn/UM and LSU/UNC games now.
Going w/Mrs. BeerControlOffense and 2 friends to the ODU game now.
I don't think
LSU-UNC is going to be much of a game anymore.
Yup
Especially since UNC will be without up to 16 players....missing key defenders and RB's!
yeah
that's partly why i decided to go.
do wanna see uconn/missagain.
probably gonna regret ut
but just ordered the college football dish package haha
What do you get with that?
Please say every effing game.
da U
Anyone watching Miami steamroll FAMU? Seems like they had one good drive at the end of the 1Q but nothing since! OTOH going through my selection of pumpkin beers....Schlafly, DFH, Weyerbacher, etc
beers
so far.
new belgium ranger ipa
stone ipa
bells 2 hearted next.
Slamming
PBRs
Gross
I'm not coming to your tailgate if Pabst is the exclusive sponsor.
What beer would you like to sponsor the tailgate?
Beer
Pretty much anyone that isn't owned by ABInBev or Miller Coors....but wait...they don't have to spend millions convincing people to drink their water!
Cans are cool.
YL light is studly. Honestly anything but PBR.
13-7 Utah
Fail
You are missing out. Might as well be drinking water. Unless you are playing some awesome game...
I like good beers too...
But there's a time and place for everything. Can't a man just relax and and enjoy his cheap beers?
when drinking an ass load
i usually have a couple to a few good beers before i settle in being drunk and on the cheap. of course those days are further and further apart.
now on shiner bock, my summer cheap beer.
Norfolk St vs Rutgers
Damn....this game is sucking in every aspect....the teams, the announcers, the referees. Wow...need me another beer.
haha
i asked bruce feldman if stud OL recruit Henderson for the Canes was closer to 3 or 400 pounds.
he answered in DM that he was down to 355. he won't help this season, too fat.
only watched about 45 mins of the socar/somiss game. socar's rb looks pretty solid. how long has steven garcia been there? i swear he was taking snaps behind center when i was in my super(duper) senior year in bburg like 5 years ago...
long enough
to be arrested 3 times.
2 in the summer session before his r-fr year. hah.
and of course,
the conversation has turned to beer. shocking.
its halftime
on the only decent game in town. I would really like a Pitt beatdown. They still owe me from 2003.
2002 hurt worse for me (go to hell ronyell)
although watching kj ball out only to see the defense so completely shit the bed was annoying as all get out. made thugass rod rutherford look like a worldbeater. thats it, no more talking about the year that never was.
2003
Such a disappointment KJ went ham, we played musical quarterback and the defense started quiting on the family.
And???
Are you really surprised? None of us live close to a distillery so we resort to talking about beer.
Let's Be Clear
No matter what happens in this Pitt/Utah game we know two things for certain.
Pitt is NOT a very good football team and Dave Wanstadt still sucks at being a football coach...
My Utah +3 is suddenly looking not as awesome
Also my beer of choice tonite is simple Rolling Rock
hahaha timeout fools!
WTH
Psych!!!!
This game is fuckin awesome.
That was absurd.
Once the kicking team is set, timeouts should not be allowed from the sideline.
totally agreed...
Bizzaro world
Pitt gets help from Bizzaro world and one pissed off and sick to the stomach Utah coach...hahaha...
I think that whole set of stuff f'd with Utah's head...they got to shake that off they look dejected.
these announcers make me want to watch the game on mute.. he just called overtime "sudden victory"
hahaha
FINISH HIM
Damn...I hope Monday is this good..
Whittingham forgot to say, and then that one timeout I f'd up on...he got his A$$ saved tonight
haha then the reporter called him out..nice..
USC goes for two again.
That's three times in a row now for those of you keeping score at home.
Late Night Reading

Wow
Hawaii almost made it back there....has USC forgotten how to play defense this year? What a shootout...

Well you don't just find swagger on the street, its a cultivated skill. Love the ginger hippie getting tossed from row DDDD to YYY at 0:13.
