I am stupid- I didn't see it at first...

I also don't want to wish the spring/summer away, but I can't wait for football season...

You're worried that it isn't?

We have 'thru' as a word recognized by M-W, for crying out loud.

That's a nice addition.

One thought: Could it be a few pixels less tall -- and lower on the page -- so that it lines up with the banner better?

not totally sure how the pixels work, though if Grant has an exact pixel height for me, I could probably fake something. This program is freaking sweet!

I noticed that this countdown assumes a 1:00 eastern kickoff versus Wisconsin. Has that been finalized yet? If not, has anyone heard anything about TV coverage?

I can't believe we still have over 4 months until kickoff. I would gladly skip summer to get to September 3rd right now.

I can't find anything for sure (either BG's or Wisky's official site) about a gametime, but I swore I heard somewhere that it was a 1pm kick. Its a pretty easy fix once something becomes official. If its later in the day, I feel sorry for my liver.

Actually, no... I can't. LOL... because that image, the "Banner" actually goes from the top of the basketball to the bottom of the chinstrap. The Flash thingie has to either be flush with the top or flush with the bottom (w/o getting into a whole lot of new frames and crap that I just don't have the time or desire to mess with.

It will stay where it is and the size it is (which is actually already half-a-dozen pixels smaller than the one TG sent me) and you will like it!

So is one of my all-time favorite albums!! "In Your Eyes" is in my top 5 songs of all time... and the lyrics for "Don't Give Up" are awesome!!

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

...

'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing

...

don't give up 'cause you have friends
don't give up you're not the only one
don't give up no reason to be ashamed
don't give up you still have us
don't give up now we're proud of who you are
don't give up you know it's never been easy
don't give up 'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong

Dang.

Anyway, I'm going to assume you can't make the first six rows of pixels on that thing a dark, dark brown

-- and credit you with a job well done. It's a nice addition.

Actually, it seems to have disappeared on my machine, but I'll assume its just me.

Again, nicely done. Seriously.
