Not sure about the tie-ins with those conferences, but Ark State/La Laf would be #2 in their conference, have to assume they have a bid. The Sun Belt teams are back ups for the SEC teams in the PapaJohn's and Independence bowls, so they will get 3 teams in this season. Motor City will probably get ...

Looks like about a 2 min walk from the Springhill suites to the lot, so depending on when I get my butt out of bed, I could be there real early. Might have to leave my wife behind and go back and get her for the game. :wink: Maybe if you are a world class sprinter. Probably more like a 15min walk f...

All of the colored lots are pre-sold, to some extent. Gold and Red would be very hard to get into without a pass, especially for more than just 1 or 2 people.

True NFL inspired arrogance and one of the few reasons I think we have a shot in this game if the defense can show up at all. If that team comes out in base 4-3 and we don't do something to exploit that immediately we're fools. Put some speed in the slot and attack downfield. Get them out of that b...

My guess is Pitt. has been in contact with them and knows more than we do, otherwise they wouldn't have released the 12 O'Clock start time. Or FOX picked the schedule of games they wanted in Aug after it was already announced. It's still listed as TBD on MLB and the Pirates site (the only game list...

I don't see them moving the kickoff from Noon. Even on a Saturday afternoon, the Bucs will be so far out of the race by then that nobody's going to that game. Even if it will be Serbian National day or Orlando Merced bobblehead day or whatever other BS promotion they pull out of their asses. Doesn'...

I don't think that's true, since MLB allows teams to contract their own TV deals. How could one usurp all the rest? None the less, I'll be at this game for sure, it's the only guarantee for me. Minny is a slim chance, but Pitt for sure! While MLB allows teams to contract their own deals, MLB can pl...

I hope to God they control it. A 3:30 start would be awesome. They don't. The Pirates require that the parking lots are clear 2 hours before their scheduled game time. Since their game is at 7:30, the lots must be clear by 5:30, meaning the game would have to start at noon. Unless Pitt and the Pira...
