Not a bad idea. Do you think that game will be sold out before 12/31?

I've never been to Carter Stadium before. I wonder how large it is compared to TCU's stadium.

Alot of people will be there, but it shouldn't be sold out. We got flyers in the mail last year for the game and I think the cheep seats run to $15. I think it's $40 for sideline seats.

That's not a bad price at all. I may check it out if I'm in town on the 31st.

I'm looking forward to the big game next Mon. between my RU and Canes' NC St.

Also, I'm sure you're looking forward to Boise State vs. TCU tomorrow night.

Heres to hoping the ACC wins all their bowl games. So far Wake Forest started off right beating Navy.

And go Texas Longhorns!!!

TCU should take care of business.

What I'm worried about is how the Cowboys will do against Philly..... but that's another topic.



Good luck for both of you.......

Great game by TCU! I was watching the first half while at the gym and TCU was stinking it up. I left after Carrot Top threw another INT and the big defensive lineman took it to the 10-yard line. By the time I finished my workout, ran an errand, got home, ate dinner, and turned on the TV, it was more than halfway through the 4th and TCU was on top! And they kept the 17-16 lead. Well done. This should obviously put them in the top 10.

Damn, ND is kicking HI's ass so far (28-7).

AZ has a pretty good football team. I saw them on TV beat Cal. back in Oct. I think Cal. was ranked at the team.

I knew HI's defense is nothing to write home about, but I figured they'd have enough offense to beat the mediocre ND, esp. since it's in HI. Damn. Maybe Charlie W. is fired up since his job is safe once again. I hope you didn't bet too much $.

No Im in a bowl pick'em so I picked Hawaii in this game but hopefully it wont hurt overall.

Like you I thought Hawaii would put up some points, I mean Notre Dame lost to Syracuse. I also figured spending time in Hawaii might be a bit of a distraction. Looks like I guessed wrong.
