I'm talking people who arn't like Falcon Freak (who I wish we could clone 10,000 times) which would be awesome but there just aren't enough of them. If everybody was a "Falcon Freak" there might not be a problem , but those on the border line fans may think double twice bout driving 100 or so miles to go to a near guaranted win game. Like I said before I hope nothing comes of it. :-\

Well if the Freak can't take everyone, I'll chime in and help out the rest. Usually leave Wadsworth 4 1/2 hours before home games start...but a lot more to get up to Buffalo to meet the bus.

To hell with gas prices...we're BCS busting this season!

Let me tell you something....even with lower gas prices, those people who "aren't like Falcon Freak" weren't coming to every game from Cleveland anyway. Yeah, we have a large alumni base in the city, but there just aren't many people who are going to go to every game from Cleveland. I do it, but I'd like to think I am a little freaky. ;)

There is no way in this decade it will ever cost $80 in gas to get from Cleveland to BG and back. Well, unless we scrap the dollar altogether and start using oil for currency. I imagine that could get quite messy in the pocket, though...
Bleeding you could be wrong on this one.

125 miles each way from Cleveland to BG, that is 250 miles total. My Ford F250, gets 15mpg on the highway, my in-laws Escalade gets 17mpg on highway. So for this arguemnt we will use the Escalade at 17mpg. So that means you will use 14.7 gallons of gas for your round trip.

At the current gas prices af 3.19 per gallon that was the price yesterday, I have not been out yet today. That would mean it would cost 47.00 in gas to drive to and from BG.

Ok, for it to cost 80.00 to get to and from BG gas would need to be 5.45 per gallon, which now in Atlanta gas is 5.67 per gallon, so Bleeding never say impossible.

Well, I guess I figured that most people wouldn't be driving Escalades. :wink:
