very cool! I had actually found (and immediately messed with) something similar that just showed a big number for days left 'til kickoff, but I could never get the formatting or colors to work quite right with my site...

We've used that code for sports and Tax countdown clocks. It's always worked well!

I've never found one that has such a good text box around it, most of what I've found just have the clock with a line after it, or some pre-fab look for a birthday/wedding/whatever.

this one looks like it has potential! *grin*

So, do I go to the key-punch machines in the BA building or Math/Science to create my card deck??

HEY!!! DID YOU FORGET SOMEONE??? Hmmmm???? :shock: Just kidding! I am looking forward to seeing you too!! It's been too long!!!
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

"Michelle,
I hear you guys have a picture I might want to see. If you can, bring it to the game, I would love to take a look"

Laura,

Unfortunately I started a new roll of film for photo day so I'm not even close to have finished yet. As soon as I get it developed I will let you know.
ROLL ALONG!!!!!

Isn't that countdown clock an hour off? Going by that clock, kickoff would be at noon local, not 11:00 as advertised.

Just hate for anyone to miss the game, that's all...

Good luck to the Falcons!

:D

The clock is set for eastern time, which could account for the difference...

12:00 eastern is 11:00 central. It's still an hour off.
