Me and assassin were supposed to but I'm an absent minded **** and forgot to buy tickets....
I'll probably go to his and watch it.

I know it doesn't mean shit but "how bout them Cowboys?"
I forgot how it feels when one of my teams annihilate the opposition.

Haha. Fuck Hayne.
Prescott looks really good. If our O line and Dez stay healthy, I think we'll be alright. Not another 8 and 8 season.
I'm interested to watch Ezekiel Elliott. See what all the hype is about.

Tickets are still available. I thought about going but then saw the prices. No way I am paying $70 for crappy tickets to a college game. If it was NFL I would happily fork out but not for a college game, plus I am going to the states in December/January anyways so gonna see the big 3... NFL, NBA & NHL while I am there

The college game yesterday reminded me of when a game was brought out to Sydney in the 1999 in the still fairly shiny new Olympic Stadium (Chargers v Broncos i think).
Anyway, ticket sales were poor (mostly expat americans and some curious Aussies but i think tickets were also quite expensive) and fearing a half empty stadium (the joint held 110,000 back then), promoters went to uni campuses giving away a heap of free tickets on the proviso they had to go and create atmosphere. The tickets included a gatorade and hot dog (just what one wants in the morning).
My mates who were still at uni gave me a ticket, but i got really drunk the night before and missed the game. I called one of them around mid morning and they had already got home again, getting bored by all the stoppages and some getting crook from the bad hot dogs. I guess to someone brought up on a diet of rugby league and aussie rules, the stop start nature takes getting used to.
So it was with a bit of trepidation that i agreed to see a college game in Atlanta with a mate in 2003 (Georgia Tech). I must admit I was impressed with alot of the atmosphere, (there were 40,000 people there on a Thursday night), despite not being able to have a beer and during the quiet bits (and there were a lot), the cheerleaders were right in front of us and quite entertaining.
I like watching American football on the tele now and then these days but only as a highlights package. There are some amazing skills and physical feats but just too much downtime between plays for me. But on a freebie i'd give the live experience another crack

Haha. I had to talk.
He's out until at least mid year.
Cowboys D needs to step up. I have absolute faith in our O line (IMO, one of the best in the NFL) and we have plenty of strike weapons so I'm not worried about our offense.
Ezekiel Elliott was an animal on the weekend. Can't wait to watch him play.

Better hope Prescott stays fit cause you guys just signed Sanchez as your backup. Haha that is almost as bad as us signing Vick as our backup to roethlisberger!!!!

It doesn't matter who you sign because the Packers are winning it all!

We might not win it but I think we will surprise a lot of people this season.

Haha. BS. Sanchez is a better 2nd string QB than the dog killer.
IMO, NFC east is the Giants' to lose. If their game plan/Odell Beckham stays fit, it's theirs.
I have a massive soft spot for the Cards and really hope they do well again.
The Packers of Green Bay are also one of my favourites thanks partly to CM III so I hope they go well and their conference is theirs to lose, too. Is Lacy still a fat fuck, though? Haha.
