Rude

Yoo knew the scenario. Win out and Bama makes it “regardless”. and Florida state may beat Georgia. I’d expect many Georgia guys going pro to sit out the game. Not playing for a championship leads to peeps not playing. If you sit out and you are in a playoff, I wouldn’t draft you!!!!

How bout them eagles. Gonna get whooped again this weekend.

You see it in college basketball seeding. If you lose your star, you get seeded lower. I just feel bad for Michigan having to play Bama game 1. There’s no one I’d want to see my team play less than a Saban team with a month to prepare. Rick you may be unhappy about that but you should be upset that Georgia didn’t get in. They had a perfect regular season. Unfortunately they don’t have a scrub to play like Iowa or Oklahoma state or a decent but not elite Louisville. Bama played a hard schedule. Unlike Michigan and Ohio state they scheduled a legit non conference team. The lesson Michigan would have taught peeps is play only 2 top 30 teams all year and if lucky and win both you are in. That was one of the worst schedules you will see. Bana finished 5-1 vs top 17 FPI and 6-1 vs top 30 FPI teams. Ohio state was 2-1 vs top 30 FPI and all 3 were top 10 rated. Michigan was 2-0 vs top 30 and Maryland was their 3rd hardest team they played per the FPI. https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi but yes thank god the are going 12 team.

I took Washington money line +280. I chickened out and cashed out knowing Oregon got the ball to start the 2nd and were gonna score to end the 1st and was happy getting paid at +150 even though much less happy with the final result. this year would be so freaking awesome for a 12 team playoff. Florida state will be in with a win but they are only 2pt favs over Louisville and we deserve better in a playoff. Several teams that would be favorites over Washington and Florida state will be left out and if Bama wins they won’t get in even though they would finish 5-1 vs top 17 FPI teams. Michigan will finish the season being 2-0 vs FPI top 30 teams. They are good but played only 2 teams all year that were decent. They are rewarded for not scheduling a Texas or notre dame or Florida state like LSU and Florida. The 2nd best record in the NFL is 9-3. If you play enough good teams you will lose. This year Ohio state, Oregon and Bams won’t be in. Bama’s BCS rank was set where no matter what they aren’t in. Texas is -16 today. If they lose and Bama wins and Florida state loses they may but it’s a long shot for a 12-1 team who played more top 20 teams than anyone. They got penalized for playing Texas. Michigan avoided any risk and was rewarded. Boo. This is really the 1st year that there wasn’t a really clear picture of at least the best 3 teams. We had a Michigan state at 4 who was garbage. Had a Cincinnati at 4 who wasn’t really a 4. But the top 3 or last year the top 4 were the true best 4. This year not necessarily. Oregon and Ohio state and Bama would all be -7 or more vs Florida state. thank god this is the last year of 4 teams only. Next year gotta win 3 or 4 games to win it all. Me likes

it’s good they have 6 months prep to work up 4 shows worth of graphics. We watched a YouTube of the whole U2 show and on TV we were like this is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. id love 1st row center balcony. I think your whole peripheral vision is visuals there. We saw some back row vid that was still super cool but you could see where the screen ended but I’d want to be closer being engulfed in wonder.

so last night at my parents for dinner my dad asked me about helping him get eagles and steely Dan tix for St Louis. I’m like that sounds like a cool show. Well upper level were $300 with fees and lower level that wasn’t platinum were $400 min. They are retired and see a show or so a year so they didn’t flinch but seeing 300 a ticket upper level made me flinch. $600-$1500 face for floors. Insanity.

It was the 45th anniversary of this show originally played a block away from the Riviera. Unfortunately someone told me that 45yrs ago the dead played uptown right over there so I knew it had to be the show. I knew no songs to be played but taking away the deduction I enjoy was a bit of a let down. When I saw Jeff’s white TB-500 on the stage that made it a lock. As always DSO rocked it. It’s almost hard to review shows for me now just like it is to pick a favorite song. We had drinks post show at the uptown pub and they had dead playing. An employee comes over and asks us what song we want to hear. I’m like this show playing is fine. She’s like but what song is your favorite that you really want to hear now. I said I don’t really have a fav dead song or one I need to hear. This show you have playing is perfect. I think she was sorta confused by that. I have 80 fav songs and each one can get me going. If she said which song don’t you want to hear this second, I could maybe give an opinion. I think non deadheads have a tough time wrapping their heads around the fact that we can just play a show and accept what songs come next vs having a greatest hit that everyone needs to hear. At van morrison at the end he said I guess we have to play brown eyed girl. He wasn’t thrilled to be forced into that and everyone got up to dance/sing but he wanted to avoid a riot….

The place was packed on a Friday night. Gotta think DSO could pull off 2 shows here. St. Louis is a direct southwest flight from most cities. It’s also a great dead town and the crowd is always good besides the peeps trying to get me to sit so they could see. Sorry bro I’m gonna dance all show. 1st time at Dso I’ve been asked to sit. Many times I’ve been asked to sit at non dead shows but they get the same reply. And once I’m asked to sit, I have no choice but to dance. Bring on security or whatever, I ain’t sitting now. I personally love Dso doing late 80s and 90s more than any other era. Maybe I like the darker dead jams or the shredded distortion. It’s my fav. It’s like if the dead was ar their peak in 1991 when Dso plays it. When I see the setup that’s Brent or later i get all giddy. Fantastic show. Any show that starts help slip Frank is ok in my book.

He’s like dead on 80’s Jerry. He has that whimsical twangy Jerry down. That seems like a horrible explanation but like Jerry’s playing on Althea. It’s sort of a whimsical style and Zach has that perfected. I haven’t seen him since before dso in Colorado prob 6-8yrs ago with Melvin but my thoughts at the time were that he was dead on the sound of 80’s Jerry.

Nope. You have to buy the package to get in. Can’t buy at the door. It’s why show days are double the price of before and after days.

That’s why I like CashorTrade for buying or selling. They don’t release the money until you have the tickets

They sound like a jazzfest funk band that has a DJ sampling as well. Interesting groove but I’m very partial to jazz funk and the New Orleans sound. Wish I could take up residency every year for 2 weeks starting the last week of April.

Chris’ brother Steve?

that’s true for sure but we have to catch Dso when they come close and can pop an up and back yo Indy for Hyryder on a Saturday. Pretty happy to get 5 shows on this tour but 10 shows a year from Dso ain’t enough for me and that’s as many I’ll get of Dso for the next 3 years or so and maybe once a year pop a plane for dso. Life changes for me. Plus I’m freaking tired raising a wild man. At 9:30 I’m like let’s go to bed and look over and she’s snoring on the couch already. What’s funny is people think us catching a measly 10-12 Dso shows is soooo many lol. Meili thinks it’s the end of her fun days. Compare us to anyone yoU work with at the hospital and we do wayyyy more stuff. Hell most of America hasn’t gone outside a 50 mile radius of home in the last 5 years. we are the privileged and spoiled

Michigan-4.5 Bama-10.5 locks of the day. Bama is now at -11 or -11.5 but got it in early my long shot bet is ole miss money line to win at Georgia +400. That 10.5 spread is way too high. Brock bowers may not play. The spread would have to move if he’s ruled out. Georgia has limited weapons without one of the top skill players in college. They are loaded on D as always though. That will be the game of the day as Michigan wins by 17+.

One of my favorite dead shows at my favorite venue. Every show at the Pabst we’d get there early to marvel at its beauty. The balcony rails are cushioned red velvet. There are no seats more than 70 feet from the stage and the sound is immaculate in the opera house. Sucks that this was the 1st Pabst show we’ve missed in 8 years. Unfortunately it would have been a 1 off Friday show. Perfect place to do this show from one of my go to 69 runs. damn dave you got a good one. Maybe see yoU next weekend in the Lou or Chicago.

12-5, 12-5 5-3. That’s I think the best record in nfl since 2021. That’s a guess. Maybe you have a slightly better record but that’s way above average

The fact is your defense stepped up and beat the right tackle clean for the 4th time. Your defense won the game not him losing it. You guys scored TDs on 4 of your 1st 6 drives. Our defense got us the ball back true but they put us in that bad situation. You got pressure on the QB over 50% of his passes. That’s an insane high number and it’s the same number Tampa did when they destroyed KC. Protect the QB and you can win.

you’ve been on a bender lately. Good for you. There was this fake schedule of all these dead bands playing the sphere in 2024 over a few weeks that would make me a Vegas resident for a while.

you mean the rookie TE that didn’t stretch it across for a TD. The false start then the RT whiff. Dak carried this average offense. He carried an offense who can’t run the ball at all. You won at home. Now he’s 8-4 against the eagles. He still owns you.

It’s awesome to go to your room at set break. It’s one of those things when they piss you off how you never give them business again. I’m sure many peeps have hotels bars and restaurants they won’t frequent. Now I’ll likely be at the bar lol

The moonrise is the most uninsulated hotel I’ve ever been. You can hear quiet conversations all down the hallway. We were harassed and harassed by management and even when we went full whisper he said we can still hear you. I told him to stop harassing us and he left us alone but I’ll never stay there again. The bar downstairs is great. We’ve had hopslam on tap, evil twin brewery Molotov cocktail on tap(13%), and I forget the 12% stout we had. Every time we’ve been there they have some amazing high abv beer on tap. Unfortunately they eliminated the couch seating in favor of all tables so it doesn’t have the cool post show lounge we got used to there.

My mom would toss me 10k and I’d blow 2k with Mei at the strip club. The 3rd Saturday we were together hit a bar then strip club. She loves them

now you deal with the Garappalo 24m dead cap for next year. At least it’s an easier out than Daniel jones, Deshaun Watson and Kyler Murray and you didn’t leverage your future for Russell Wilson.
