ahhhhhh, college football section....where good posts go to die

cool, yea the last dinner plans came down to ACME or Red Fish - so we will plan for ACME and then Red Fish if weather is bad or wait is beyond terrible we booked a city trip/katrina trip with Celebration Tours instead of doing a swamp tour (winter) - so hopefully that will let us view a little more of the city than what we will accomplish walking around FQ and uptown... Thanks again for all your help in helping us plan our trip...ill def let ya know how it turns out! looking forward to the Big Easy

some have never had oysters so want to try them there...but apparently the grilled oysters are unique to ACME or something? (im personally not into oysters at all - i will be eating my fill of shrimp) - but if you say its worth the wait, then ill back off trying to talk them out of it.......and about the wait, if we go at peak hours and the waits long, I can go get a hand grenade (the drink) or hurricane and bring it while I wait, correct? that actually sounds like quite the plan

question for NoSaint (and anyone else in New Orleans or who has a suggestion) my group really wants a fresh seafood rest. night (I told them, its all fresh seafood) - but they particularly want oysters...they seem to be set on ACME Oyster Bar...my question, is it worth the long wait? we are going for dinner one of the nights, so it will be packed (probably sunday night) - is there another, better oyster place option that I can sway them too rather than ACME?

thought I would dig this bad boy up for all of us Irish fans... historic night tonight, im feeling pretty nervous right now.....even though we have had a hell of a season, I still hear a lot of people claiming ND isnt for real, and "wait till they play Bama" - well heres the chance LETS GO ND!!!

now THIS is my style

wellll, this was supposed to be a good game

not a good start by seattle's much loved defense

YESSSS, I have prevailed : ) (suck it 26cornerblitz)

really cool that they put Lewis on the field for last kneel down....classy move Harbaugh

this thread should be merged with mine, with mine taking the lead as it was posted one minute before this copy cat abomination : )

the battle of the athletic rookies QBs - and two over achieving defenses!!! should be a good game!

lol, niceeeeee

His D-coordinator at SU was Scott Shafer....not saying he will come along with Dougie Fresh (he may be offered the head job at SU or somewhere else) but I dont think he would be a bad choice at all - was the d-cord at Stanford under Harbaugh, Harbaugh said he was "one of the most creative defensive minds in football" - of course his friend would talk him up, however, Stanford had a top 10 D in the country under Shafer - d-cord at SU, brought them from in the 120's in total defense to a top 20 unit... his self described defensive style is: "Scheme is overrated, I've always believed that. What's not overrated is getting your kids to play with great effort, great attitude and great enthusiasm. Those are things we can control on a daily basis, and that will be my primary goal. . . . The philosophy of our defense is attack-oriented, attack and react. We want to be a defense this is multiple, that is always putting pressure and forcing the hand of the offense. We want to be a penetrating defense. If you're going to (ask) what our objectives are? The one thing we want to do is stop the run, force them to throw the ball on first down, create negative plays on first down . . . and get ourselves in position to force them to throw the ball. Get them one-dimensional. We don't want to be a defense that sits back. We want to be a defense that creates turnovers and scores touchdowns" It does look as if he fits the mold of "balls so big they scrape the ground when he walks

I thought it was amusing

hahaha, OK....the facts: Lewis's white suit worn the night of the murders was never found, witnesses described said man in a white suit with a knife.......Lewis and his two buddies were put on trial for the murders, Lewis copped a deal to testify against his two buddies in exchange for immunity (probably told his buddies he would "take care of them" monetarily), then all the witnesses stop talking/cant remember anything....Lewis pays the victims families an unspecified amount of money to settle out of court in civil suit.....where theres smoke, theres fire baby.... but you can keep living in a fantasy world where the baddest man on earth didnt get away with stabbing two people

lol @ trestman love....dude didnt coach football, he coached canadian football I do agree about "exhaustive search" being the wrong term, however....perhaps intentions were an exhaustive search, they interviewed Marrone and thought "jesus, this IS the guy, no doubt about it" and signed him.....he was being interviewed by other clubs

i LOVE ray lewis - fave football player of all time, sad day that this is his last NFL game with that said.....he still killed people with a knife, and I dont care

Brian Kelly "leaving is not an option" haha, keep dreaming.....

I agree that I think Brian Kelly is the coach to be had, with that said..hes NOT leaving Notre Dame, period (maybe ever, until they fire him)

lol @ OP saying "with 100% certainty Russ Brandon comes to this board" ....classic....im sure if someone asked Russ what his favorite bills message boad is, his response would be "ummm...what? im trying to run an NFL franchise here man" good stuff up in hurr

tell that to Dareus.... and Spiller...he has to come out because hes winded : )

why are you surprised? Astrobot just said he thinks Te'o will go number 1 overall, lol....anything is fair game with his proejctions after that comment and to Astrobots earlier comment on page 1: no, I dont think Te'o will even be on the Cheifs short list at number 1....unless its b/c of a trade down possiblity tell me again though...when was the last time a LB was the first overall pick in the nfl draft? (answer: Aundray Bruce in 1988, who was a pass rushing LB thought to be the next LT - went on to have a SPECTACULAR 42 game career, and before that it was our beloved Buffalo Bills drafting Tom Cousineau in 1979) new regimes usually = new QBs (but in this supposed weak QB class, I woulndt be surprised if they DONT go QB - i just cant fathom a LB goes number 1)

russ is cheap!!!!

one reason I am high on Chip Kelly - dont know if I really do think hes the best choice for us - is because he is widely viewed as being the BEST "practice coach", in that he gets the most out of his players each and every practice...its all minute to minute scripted and as the above article talks about, very rep intensive and go-go-go type atmosphere....even if Kelly adapts his offense (which he will have to, and he will) for the NFL - he can still bring with him this uptempo, most bang for your buck practice....something ANY NFL team can benefit from I guess what it comes down to for me (and hopefully for our franchise if we want to hire him) is: how will you adapt to the NFL, who are your proven coordinators, especially on defense, and can your attitude jive with NFL players as opposed to just college players....if he has acceptable answers for all that, im more than down with Chip Kelly being red, white and blue
