Like “Wonderfull”?

Thanks for the Cantwell story and perpetuating the myth of Kentucky. God knows that there are no rednecks (or trailer parks for that matter) in the wonderfull state of Florida. I won’t even bother commenting on Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana and all the other SEC bastions of class, grace and breeding. Give me a frog gigger over a second generation born again Chrisitian anyday. I apologize for using proper grammar and not mispelling any words as I am sure it doesn’t fit with your previously stated stereotypes.

So…in our season opener, UT (weak on D-line and linebacker) faces a running qb. I honestly don’t think my marriage could survive another pac-10 humiliation to start the season. Let’s hope his general “third-string freshman-ness” shines through.

skinnyphatman, we’ve contacted the Gator Club out there and Jackson’s is indeed were they will be. We just haven’t figured out yet if we’ll be ‘Gator Club sociable’ that morning, or ‘dark sunglasses and avoiding eye contact’ at this point.

Thanks Mark, #29. Other than their opening time, the place looks perfect. We were hoping we could have caught a UC game for the hell of it, but I believe they’re playing that Sunday night. I’m guessing the town of Boulder won’t be waking and baking for a SEC opener as well.

Allahver Fist – I suggest you stay in Denver, try Jackson’s. Right across the street from Coors Field. Great sports bar, and close to Lodo, so you could hoof it to another location if necessary. I would also suspect that the local Gator alumni group would have a place where they gather for games (we even have one here for Tech, but the last time I went for the ACC tourney no one showed up, much like the team’s performance against Duke).

Also, Denver is by and large a pro sports town. If it is not the Bronco’s or Av’s no one seems to give a shit. Too much of a collection pot, and CU or CSU have sucked ass for so long no one seems to notice them much. Combine that with the early start time and you probobaly won’t find a real happening spot anyway.

And yeah, the Bolderites are probably more focused (initially anyway) on their wake and bake plans. With your trip to Red Rocks though… Saw REM and Modest Mouse there earlier this summer. Great venue for a show, acoustics suck, but the atmosphere is off the charts.

I thought Jay Z was the gigger man.

Allahver Fist – from what I remember, Boulder’s too much of hippie-dippie college town to get excited about an out-of-town CFB game at 10:30 in the morning.

My bet would be to try the Wynkoop Brewing Company in downtown Denver. They serve a good Saturday brunch, they brew their own beer, and they have a pool hall upstairs.

http://www.wynkoop.com

Only hitch might be that their website says that they don’t open till 11am, although that might just be their weekday hours. I remember them opening earlier for Saturday brunch, although it has been a number of years since I have been there.

Ryno, on the end of that pole is more than likely a trident shaped “gigger”.

In my younger days, hunting “swamp chicken” was an annual event between turkey and deer season. Done in the middle of the night with a 500k candle watt flashlight, in a river oxbow, with at least 2 cases of Bud, summer evenings were spent.

O, btw , pastissada ain’t bad. When in Bolonga, do as the Bolognians do.

Agree on the “Closed On Sundays” bullcrappa.

Since this Post has gone off the rails, could somebody give me some good advice on where I could see the Gators/Hawaii play on tv in Denver or Boulder (8/30)? It will be 10:30am local out there and I’ll need a beer in my hand before kickoff. Should I stay in Denver, or is it worth the short trip to Boulder to watch football in a college town?

I can has knee burger?

I feel dirty for typing that.

Rich brooks thinks your baby talk is bullshit.

No chick-fill-a here in Vegas. There isn’t room for those here, what with the endless selections of applebees and chillis. Sometimes in the same parking lot.

Gawd bless Generica.

#2, that would be a frog gig he’s holding. A long pole tipped with a 3 pronged spear (gig). You stalk Mr. Croaky with a bright light, and reach out and stab him with your gig. Good fun.

Chik-Fil-A has to have some sort of Alien recipe, it creeps into your DNA and then you are sucked into an addiction you can’t shake and you curse it when you can get your fix on Sunday ’cause the Bible thumpin fools are closed!! Hell, whats better than fried chicken on Sunday after church? Explain to me that marketing strategy…..We are religious, from the South, we serve fried chicken products, but ,alas, we are closed on our potentially biggest retail day of the week? People are like zombies with their face placed up against the glass on Sundays, trying to break in……

Really? I seem to remember Orson complaining about the absence of Jimmy John’s.

Well, will still have Runza, and that shit be exclusive. Nobody can take our Runzas!
