Thanks for the heads up, Metz. What are concessions and stuff like? I think we're in section 8 (don't have the tickets in front of me) row 91. The concessions and restrooms have improved. They've got Spot's stands right behind you in the south concourse, along with regular concession stands. They r...

Not the Browns, unfortunately. The Gladiators were awarded Cole in the AFL One dispersion draft according to this morning's PD.
Couldn't find a link on their stellar website, though.

I used StubHub for the first time and was a little skeptical- 5 tickets in Section 102, Row B for $5 each. Sounded too good to be true.
But, I got them this week and they look legit. I guess I'll find out at the gate...!

From today's PD- some of the same info, but it shows a little more of his character:

Is that the Bacardi Rum symbol at halfcourt?

What a great find!

Here are a couple tributes from Arizona and Missouri- no mention of his ties to our area, but still a nice capsule of his hard work: http://www.azcentral.com/sports/ua/articles/0129smith.html http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/bernies-extra-points/bernies-extra-points/2008/01/a-thank-you-to-larry-smith/

I saw that, too. Not a very favorable review. What's he got against brown?

For uniform geeks like me, his Uni Watch articles are great.

Looks like we'll be able to see some MAC games on the local channels:

Did the floor look any softer?

Thats a good question, if NIU and Buffalo loss today, all three of us are 3-13, and since we split with UB I don't know how the tiebreaker would work According to the tiebreakers posted on the MAC website, it's head to head, then winning percentage vs. ranked opponents in the conference. I am assum...

Blurb in today's PD (couldn't find the link) says Steve Sanders has signed with the Browns and has been allocated to NFL Europe.

As for SB menu I've got some bratwursts. I'm thinking of throwing them in a crockpot with onions, garlic, and beer. I've never done them that way, but I've heard it's pretty good...don't think I'll be hitting the grill with highs in the single digits. Not planning on having anyone over this year, s...

+1, 87. I wanted to make the reference, but held off.
I threw the alley oop, you slammed it home. Nice work!

We made a few batches recently, and I've got some oatmeal stout, porter, and a few holiday ales left. I've been hoarding those, because they are so tasty...

So what do you do for the Super Bowl? Any favorite recipes, traditions, etc.? We usually try to make things associated with the teams playing and/or where the game is held. This year we're making Cuban sandwiches with ham, pork, swiss, and pickles to represent Miami. Chicago has more to choose from,...
