Maybe they'll set some baskets up on Poe Rd...then it will be accurate.
How wil factman blame this on GC?

According to your official web site "Yes, so much". It is scheduled for February 22nd.

So who won the pool in this thread. Who bet that it would take 4 posts before Factman made a GC comment. I had 8 posts so I didn't win. Seriously, I don't think there has ever been a thread that Factman has commented on that didn't include a GC reference. Why don't you just blame GC for the editors error at the BG News. Is it his responsibility to proofread the paper.

I don't think gmartin has your sense of humor, Flip, but then again, not many do!
Maybe GC got the baskets up, but "security" or is it "tin soldiers", wouldn't let anybody watch!

Not much to watch. But it will get interesting tomorrow when our new GM will fire our coach. And sometime before the draft we will release Peyton, yeah you heard that correct, we will be releasing Peyton.

E-mailed the marketing department about this suggesting they send out a mass e-mail to remind students to come tonight. I remember the BG News being a good publication when I was there but it seems like they make a lot of careless mistakes now and their redesign looks much worse.

I don't understand why the University doesn't send out mass text messages to the students the day off the games. Set up a system similar to the emergency alert system and send out a short text message. If only 1 out of 8 students attend the game that would still more than double our student attendance.
