Anyone talking sports out there?

Football is just rolling in -- any Buffalo Bills or VT Hokies fans out there?

Buffalo is putting together a respectable team. If they can get their offensive line put back together they will become a force to reckon with. Peters needs to end his hold-out, and renegotiate while he is in camp.

The Hokies are ranked, but does anyone know their strengths this year? They have quite a few ranked teams from the ACC, so it will be a tough year.

Just thought we should get some sports talk going....

GO BUCKEYES!!!!! :#1: :#1: :#1: :#1:

Sure...
 

Re: Anyone talking sports out there?
 

Sorry Kahuna. At our house it's Go Cubs Go!!! Hail Purdue and Rocky Top.

Re: Anyone talking sports out there?
 

Kahuna--- Wouldn't a subway series be neat? The media would hate it. Enough reason, right there, to hope for one.

Re: Anyone talking sports out there?
 

Rocky Top? I am the Lady Vols biggest Colorado supporter. Been to most Final Four's over the past 15 years. I was in Tampa last year when they pulled out 2 big wins. I got my ticket notice for next year last week. Go Lady Vols

Subway Series
 

Yes, a subway series would be neat, SallyJo.

But if I was able to get a ticket (my son is in a position to help), that would mean I might have to go up to the north side where the streets go in all those crazy directions and don't have block numbers. It's a lot easier to figure out where "The Cell" is at 35th and Shields than that outdoor tavern named like chewing gum surrounded by all those streets with names--Clark, Addison, Waveland and such. It gets too confusing for us south siders to go up north.

I hope that the Cubbies get there this year. But if they don't, hey--anyone can have a bad century!

Go Sox!

Kahuna I've always said that if the Cubs could win the World Series I want one hour to celebrate and then I can die happ. I'm getting a little nervous. We pass Comisky Park, sorry I can't get use to calling it Cellular Field, every time we head into Chicago. We went to a game there a year or two ago. We wanted to see the new stadium. It's nice.

Cologal Glad you like our Lady Vols. Pat runs a great program. We were in Tampa, also. Hope to go to St. Louis next year.

Re: Anyone talking sports out there?
 

It's a good thing this thread is on the political forum because anyone that thinks the cubbies can win a World Series is as full of IT as the politicians.

AND speaking of FORUMS........ why don't we have a "SPORTS TALK" forum.
There's one for books, movies, fun, feminine and on and on.

GO BREWERS.. :#1:......... 6 more games against the Cubs !! evil6

Re: Anyone talking sports out there?
 

YEAH! 040 040 040 Cubs fans here too! :#1:

Tennessee Basketball
 

I spent a few days in Knoxville this summer where our granddaughter was participating in Destination Imagination. Several events needed the capacity of Tennessee's Thompson-Boling basketball arena.

Wow! What a facility! And based on the pictures on the walls, banners and such, it's pretty clear that the place was"built by the Lady Vols".

I was so impressed by the size of the place that when I got home I made some comparisons with my favorite, the University of Michigan. What is as amazing is that the entire Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, from top to bottom and including the outside concrete walkways around Crisler would fit inside the arena at Tennessee. I mean inside the arena portion, not just inside the building itself. Amazing. And a real tribute to Pat Summit and the ladies who have played in the orange and white.

How tough is it to get a ticket to the Lady Vol games?

Re: Anyone talking sports out there?
 

Thompson-Boling arena holds 25,000. I think tickets are readily available, unless they are playing UCONN or something. Tickets for the football games aren't so easy to come by.

Re: Anyone talking sports out there?
 

Maybe we can carpool....I have my tickets. Already have the hotel outside St. Louis near my sisters place. Do you to up to Florida when the Lady Vols come down? I'm planning on it.

Re: Anyone talking sports out there?
 

They don't play UCONN anymore...Rutgers was a sellout but someone of my friends got tickets for that one.

Did you here that UCONN lost the number 1 recruit....she when to UCONN left and then decided not to return.
