Shod?

Long as it's not appropriately shoddy. 

[MikeDeTiger]

The schedule this weekend is stupid.  Texas and LSU play at the same time.  And, to boot, they both play at the same time as Ohio State vs. Indiana.  

Great.  Every game I'm interested in, all at once.  

Like.....the 2:30 or 6:00 slot couldn't have taken at least one of these?

@2:30, Alabama @ Tennessee and Auburn @ Georgia have a historical significance to them that makes them sound interesting, but.....they're not going to be good games.  70+% chance I turn them off before the half and go do something else.  Missouri @ Ole Miss might be something.  Sounds weird to say, but zero interest in spending time on Penn St. vs. Michigan.   

@6:00, I'm 50% interested in Arkansas/Vanderbilt in the same way I can't look away from a car wreck.  But....nah.  Wisconsin @ UCLA has turned out to be more interesting than I suspected, so that's probably the solo game for that slot, if I haven't found something better to do.  

@10:00, Nebraska and Oregon.....I mean, ok, yeah, sure, but......10:00 pm.  I'm in my late 40's, not my early 20's.  Even if I want to, ain't gonna be up watching that.  


Hmph.  Grumpy Old Fart status, achieved!

Why is this on the grumpy thread, you ask? Welp, I'm probably not going to see any of them.

Grandkids will be in town, which goes on the happy thread. They are 3, 3, and 5. We'll see. Maybe I'll get to see the later ones, unless they wear me out, which has happened.

Those people are not your friends and are terrible human beings.

That could be a good thing, depending on the concourse you're in. Some good eats in that place.

I'm at gate F7 across from stanley's kitchen and tap
Not hungry or thirsty 

[MrNubbz]

 I'm really getting tired of these twats bringing their comfort mutts everywhere. Stopped to get some cash at the bank and a woman with her furry sidekick right next me. I was filling out slips and discussing transaction while my other eye watching for that thing to lift it's leg. I asked the teller if I may wheel around a pony keg next time I'm in as this would releases all the stress I felt stopping there - he didn't seem to mind the idea.

[FearlessF]

A pony kegs says that you share

Terminal 2 is just OK, but Stanley's is solid.

I had one of these. Really good.
