The Fresno State @ Colorado game was cancelled because of the flooding in Boulder. No one cared about that either. So cancel the game already.

I cared about that game. I had money on FSU winning straight up with 7/3 odds. So don't give me that shit about "nobody" caring. Vegas cared, dammit.

Excellent point.

Every time Navy plays at home it takes me an hour to drive from my house in Eastport to my friend's house in West Annapolis or to Heroes Pub. It's about a mile and a half. Yet another instance of the government shutdown improving my quality of life.

Confusing the Air Force Academy with West Point, headline writer?

I clicked on the thread only to see why they'd scheduled it for so early this yr.
