    Well, yeah, when making that comparison, sure. It's been 25 years since I lived there. It was fine for what it is and the surrounding areas, but I certainly don't miss it. All of my family except a brother still lives out in that area now, but he'll be gone in a couple of years.

    Fun fact: Last year was the first year since 2000 that the BC Eagles won more games than the Patriots.

    Well, the Patriots play 17 games, so that's quite an accomplishment.

    Given the circumstances, I wonder if it's just that Florida State is allergic to Irish people.

    I’m amazed more wasn’t made of the fact they stayed an extra day in Dublin to sightsee. Isn’t that the sort of thing you knock out at the start of the trip?

    Wow, seriously? That's stunning. Even if you want to make the argument that they could still take the extra day and have a full week of prep before the Monday nighter. Plus who's in the mood after a loss?

    I am surprised nobody has come up with a Big10 knock off of the SEC shorts.

    This is more in the vein of Roll Call, but Annie Agar's meetings are usually pretty good. She does NFL versions of this too.

    I’m gonna guess they never thought losing was a possibility when they put together the itinerary
