QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 16, 2007 -> 04:27 AM) yes And make sure he does Billie Jean. I still remember hearing that cover and not realizing it was THAT Billie Jean until he did the chorus, and I freaked out (cuz MJ was good pre-whacko days). I'm really looking forward to the Cornell show. Its been said that on this tour, his sets have been running 2.5 to 3 hours long, something I surely won't mind one bit!

What a ridiculously crazy college football season so far. We(South Carolina fans) have been cautiously optimistic towards 2008, when the schedule really sets up nicely for us......then 2007 turns out like this so far. Not sure what to think. We are doing the epitome of "winning ugly", depending on a fantastic Defense to carry us through, whilst a RS Freshman QB learns the Spurrier ways...I'm enjoying the ride so far, premature or not.

I should have been rooting against UK in that game, but its REAL hard to cheer for th thug-ball LSU plays. So I'll say that I love last weeks win over UK even more now.

Pale, they have the talent at the skill positions, but the UNC O Line has to improve, and I'm sure it will.

I'm more than a tad embarassed by that 2nd half performance by us. Spurrier went into Lou Holtz conserve the lead mode for some stupid reason, and it took every minute of the game to win. 7 games into the season, and still yet to play an all around solid game of football.

I loved Spurriers comment about North Carolina this week, per JOEDY McCREARY, AP Sports Writer ...... And then there's that little matter of settling the score between Spurrier and the North Carolina fans who felt he ran up the score on the Tar Heels in clinching a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference title in 1989 -- the last time Duke was a football champion -- then rubbed it in by snapping that famous (or infamous) photo. Davis claimed to be unaware of any bad blood between the Tar Heels and Spurrier, but the Gamecocks coach defended the snapshot by saying the Blue Devils were celebrating their title, not the margin of victory. "Anybody accuses Duke of running up the score, they ought to be embarrassed," Spurrier said.

Went to see the Foo in Charlotte on Friday night. 2 solid hours of Foo goodness. Another solid show from Grohl and the boys, granted it would take a HELLUVA shiotty show for me to say bad things about Grohl, Hawkins, Shiflett and Nate. It was interesting though, they had Pat Smear on stage as well, from early Foos guitar fame. They also had a violin/cello player, piano player, and a 2nd drummer out with them. It REALLY made things sounds fantastic. I think I'm gonna put a power weekend of concerts together, and before anyone even says it, yes I know most of you won't like 90% of the people I'm going to go see. Saturday, November 4th - Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Seether in Clemson, SC Sunday, November 5th - Cute is What We Aim For, Plain White T's, Gymclass Heroes, Fall Out Boy (not a fan of most of these, but I've wanted to see FOB a while now) in Clemson, SC Monday, November 6th - Chris Cornell in Charlotte, NC

Thanks Illinois for ridding us of one more overrated Top 10 team

Official College Football Thread
I'm convinced SC deserves to be about #15 this year so far. But what can you do when teams keep losing agead of you? And BTW, not sure why you think Florida is the almighty, end all 1 loss team....who ISN'T overrated so far then hmm? Georgia is a solid team, Kentucky wasn't a #8 team, most people know that as well. So after SC beats Florida, is that gonna be "an overrated Florida team" too?

Yeah yeah, overrated blah blah. All we can do is beat the teams that are on the schedule. Besides, being the most overrated still will belong to Wisconsin.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 06:33 PM) Any thoughts on the new Foo Fighters album? I'm biased Heads, but I like it. Its a different type of CD from track to track, not just 3 minutes of radio playable rock x11.

going to some place named the Cricket Arena in Charlotte Friday to see the Foos yet again. They announced and sold out the US cities for the tour with very little time between ticket sales and actual shows.

We'll see what Kentucky really has when their passing offense faces off against the #1 Passing Defense in the nation thursday night. If my boys take Kentucky out, everything sets up VERY nice for a SEC East Championship run.

OK, I bought My Name is Earl Season 1 from Best Buy to pick up on my way home from work. I've never seen the show, tell me I did the right thing?

As of right now, there is only a 7 episode, mid season replacement order on for Jericho, sadly. So fans have to be sure to do all they can to tune in live during the 7 episodes, so that it continues.

New Television season
Its back, but as I have heard, only as a midseason replacement for some other failed show to come. They will gauge(no pun intended) the viewing ratings then, and go from there. That was the last plan I read, but it may have changed. It was such a crock for that show to ever get cancelled, and then in its place, CBS produces some drivel called Kid Nation?!?! GMAFB

Hah, I was gonna say something like that. We(South Carolina) like to change unis about every 2 years it seems, it gets old as a fan, you can't create any 'tradition' or prestige when you want to change crap every 1-2 years.

BD, you can make it to where you and your friends, or anyone online, can jump into the middle of your game of Halo 3.

I've been waiting for Jericho for a LONG time. Was part of the campaign to bring it back after CBS unjustly cancelled it. Others on my list include.....nothing really. I don't watch much syndicated TV. Maybe The Office if I can catch up with it in time. I was able to not see 1 episode of Heroes until the entire Season 1 came out on HD DVD, and then watched it all at once. I'm a big fan now, but trying to wait for that to happen to Season 2(I know, long wait in store). Oh, and I watch any Gordon Ramsey show as well, he amuses me.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 07:09 PM) Gamespot gave Halo 3 a 9.5 out of 10. I'm not a big Halo guy, but sounds pretty fun. It IS fun Tony, take it from a first time Halo player. I enjoyed it thoroughly, solo campaign was a bit short, but online is going to be great with Halo

Halo 3, beaten in 1.5 days. But I will say it was a fantastic game, and loads of fun to play. I'm sure that anyone that buys it will not be disappointed.

Does it make you envious if I tell you I'm about half way done with Halo 3 already? It was delivered to me today(Saturday). And before you say "Yeah whatever, it doesnt come out until Tuesday." I will say that it was a Pontiac "Be the first to own Halo 3" contest.

This just in.... *Newsflash* Mississippi State's QB is absolutely god awful. 4 INTs in teh first half. Now, LSUs defense is good, but he is making some VERY bad throws. Luckily for Miss. St, their defense is a quality unit. Only 10 points to show for 4 turnovers so far.

Hmm, alot of the reviews read the same so far. Zombie couldn't decide between remaking the original, or making a prequel, so he did a sham job of doing both. Dampens my excitement over the project a little bit.
