The Phinsider

Wednesday Night Random Thread: Game Day Food Edition

We all have our game day rituals. For most of us that also involves some sort of food and drink offerings. We have seen a few posts in the past highlighting some of our very own Phinsiders game day spreads.

Of course our most famous member, Ohio, is as well known for his fanaticism for all things Miami Dolphins as he is for his epic tailgate parties.

So what is it that you like to serve up to your family or your guest and just make for yourself on game days? What's that one food you can't do without during a game?

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Seriously? TCP, you went with a Hurricanes picture for today's live thread?]

Nothing wrong with the Cane picture.

There is more beauty in there than that beautiful U sign!

Yeah Finhead gets it.
In fact, if you focus on the U sign and look deeper...

You see the focus of the picture… How nice of those girls to help you zoom in on the focus of the camera…

They seemed like friendly girls and I thought that would put everyone in a good mood this evening no matter which

school they root for. Besides Mosul is a closet Canes fan too.

I already knew he was...

That’s why I took the liberty to subscribe his email address for the Hurricanes website to get news and offers.

LOL Man you love crapping where you eat like no one I know.
ROFL

Are you referring to the time where I copied his screen name, avatar, and signature?

Yes as one example.
LOL

I don’t remember too many other examples besides that one…

Yeah well..............
LOL Yes editor Mosul. Its was the best of what I had to choose from.

Not a lot in the “tailgating section”.

GO TARHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who?
The #7 team that somehow is letting the Canes lead them by 5 at the half.
Oh college basketball. Yeah not interested so much.

I guess that’s why the U thing got you today. Total coincidence I promise.

And...

I remember those days when I was a kid… at 12:50 I would go in the kitchen and start making some pizza rolls. I would sit on the couch with my father and my mother would be on her computer. The next 3 hours consisted of me staring at the television and eating pizza rolls and drinking a coke.

A few years later, I moved to Tostitos chips and salsa. When I moved to California, it F’ed everything up. I’d go to a sports bar to watch the Dolphin game, but it’d be at 10am. I was ordering freaking omelettes and watching a Dolphin game with a cup of coffee. No wonder football on the West Coast is so F’ed up. Nobody knows how to watch a game the right way unless they’re watching the late games (1:15pm)!

Yeah I love the western states but that is messed up.
Also fried fish was the normal fare around our house on Sundays. Sometimes if we were going to mix it up it was grilled fish.

Lots of fish needless to say.

Not for us.

We always had whatever was quick so we didn’t miss the action. Now, I’m back to chips and salsa or pizza rolls as I sit in my football room. Man I love that room!

Man my grandmother can fry up a batch of fish so damn fast. Shes a pro and its the best you have ever had.

Usually served with home made tarter sauce, yellow rice, sliced tomatoes and salad. Now when I do it up football wise its usually something on the grill. Ribs are a favorite of course.

Mahi Mahi in beer batter...
No. We never fried the Mahi Mahi. That was always grilled and usually marinated in Mojo Crejo.

Man I love fishing for Mahi. Once you get them in a feeding frenzy they will hit a bare hook. Oh and no the batter she uses does not have beer but uses an egg wash for the moisture. Its great. I promise. As far as the batter its a mix of things and I am not sure what all goes in it.

where u fish for it?
uhhhhhhhhhh the water !!!

sorry couldn’t help myself !

lol i mean what region lol
The Keys.
hhmmm i'm gonna have to go fishing there sometime, but i mostly prefer freshwater fish like salmon and trout.
Yeah thats funny because my new thing is I want to learn how to fly fish when I go up to New Mexico every summer.
I just need to go fishing, period.

It’s been 12 years or so since I’ve gone.

whoa i thought i had it bad with 2 years not fishing lol
Yeah

I never thought about it until last year, when I was in Florida. I bought a rod, reel, tackle, got a salt and fresh water license – and never went.

Oh that blows.
I know.

Wasted money.

My buddy and I kept making plans to go, and they kept getting screwed up for one reason or another. We just never made it.

Got to get down to the keys. Go out of Marathon if you can. Key Largo is

way too crowded but there are plenty of boats and charters out of Marathon and much less crowded. Also anything out of the Big Pine Key area.

Damn. We need to do a Phinsider fishing trip sometime. In the winter when the fishing is the best.
that'd be awesome
I love fresh water fishing, you can take a stick, a piece of string, a hook and a bobber

dig up some worms ,and eat like a king that night. But I prefer my rod and reel, lol. but still like to primitive fish once in a while.

I am all about saltwater.
i'm all about freshwater.....never been saltwater :(
Me too now , i'm 5 minutes from the ocean and the intercoastal waterway

and I go in the other direction inland about 30 miles to fish, go figure lol. used to fish a lot of saltwater with my dad, but my 1st love was fresh water.

I never freshwater fished until I was like 30 and it was like a big ole meh!
yeah, i like saltwater better...

I’ve only gone freshwater a couple times, so its a small sample size, but from my judgement, I prefer saltwater

so tex where you fish when you come to new mexico?
Nowhere yet but I have watched a lot of guys fishing the Red River

and it fascinates me. Fly fishing is like an art.

Here is one of the steams in that area just north of Red River.

Photobucket

Pretty
Yeah its why I go up there in the summer when it feels like its

a million degrees here.

never been, i fish elephant butte and caballo lake
but i'm gonna have to try it
This is a pic of one of the lakes up there down at the bottom.

Has huge trout and land locked salmon.

Photobucket

your gonna have to tell me where this is?
well, to each their own, I do love to eat a lot of seafood though , lol
count me in in about 6 weeks, we will have it here, and yes tex you will be here
yeah i love rainbow trout and its a peaceful setting
Rainbow trout is my favorite freshwater fish.
easy as hell to clean to
would love to go salt water fishing one day.
And here in Jersey...

All we fish are dead bodies out of the Delaware River. Thank you Camden and Philadelphia…

Oh my.

Sounds like a real nice place!

lol i still rather have a rod
i never tried it i just find a good spot cast and sit back and wait
Gameday food: Redneck Nachos

BBQ nachos, complete with jalapenos, black beans, pickles, and cheddar cheese.

Oh my.
It's good stuff
Yeah I like my BBQ dry to begin with so if there is any BBQ sauce in there anywhere I am so out.
I like BBQ in any form
I'm a dry rub guy myself.
you like to rub what?
Young dogs.

Watch out…

Ribs, brisket, chicken, steak...............
ribs with dry rub are great.

But I am like Earl. BBQ in any form and on any food is very good. I could put BBQ on ice cream…

The place I get the nachos from uses pulled pork BBQ instead of chopped

Much better choice for nachos

I absolutely love a good pulled pork or brisket.

Some of that with some sweet potato fries and sweet tea…

Sweet tea is good with anything
I hate when you go out and you ask for sweet tea...

And they say, “We have raspberry.” Raspberry tea is not freaking sweet tea!!!

LOL... totally agree

Of course, here in NC, when you order tea, it’s a given that it’s sweet.

OMG When I order tea and they start offering me all that crap flavored tea I feel like asking

“did you not notice I was a dude?”.

... and they reply, "yes, you just looked like the type"...
No its just part of the speal but if I wanted some flavored crap I would ask for it.
"flavored crap"

hmmmm, just pour koolaid powder on it?

Yeah I dry rub my ribs but the secret is to season them with a mild marinade before that. Then comes the rub and then the smoke.
I want to get a smoker for my grill this spring.

I’d love to do that for some ribs.

Yeah we use one with a side smoke box. It helps control the heat better. The key to ribs is to not

give them too much smoke. They take hours to cook at a low temp but if you leave them in the smoke the entire time they will taste like ass. You can either wrap them in foil and leave them on the grill or throw them in a very low temped oven for a couple/three more hours.

Sounds good to me! Rec this one.
omg...my mouth is watering
hmmmmmm , texy pooh sitting around rubbing his meat? why did this make me hungry !
usually make some garlic/hot wings when the phins are on TV up here
Where is up here again?
Pennsylvania
Oh you live in hater-ville.

No offense but as someone that has been to many, many states I rank PA at the bottom thus far. Of course I have not been to Jersey yet so there’s still hope for you.

yeah...it sucks...bad
You are very young. You can still escape.

I guess I was just shocked at how rude people were and when you try and be polite to others they look at you like your an alien. Also it seems much more racist there then even in the south which seemed strange and disturbing to me. And why does everyone look like they are so damn depressed all the time? Oh and if they find out that you are from Texas its only worse. Boy do they hate Texans and I am not even a Texan.

would love to move down to Miami

but I’ll be stuck here the rest of my life.

There are some nice people…not much…but there are some. Your description is pretty damn accurate though.

A lot of places are nice but I will admit that Miami is not what it once was. Too many rude ass people there too.
i'm moving near you then
Careful... it could involve you in sharing a cigarette....
No worries. Just as before I have never smoked so.......
i don't smoke
Do you smoke? You weren't clear

Lol

He does not smoke.
He does not smoke.
I think he puffs....
I am actually thinking of moving about 10 hours further west to get away from the mildly rude folks here

who of course seem very polite compared to those on the East Coast.

you find alot of people rude...don't ya?
Not on a daily basis here but in PA and Miami yes. Very much so.
lol

i guess since I’m from PA…tex thinks I’m rude :(

... and crude...
No but I think many of your neighbors likely are.
I don't mind parts of PA...

I like northeastern PA and love the Poconos. Not a Philly fan though…

Eastern?
western...bout 2 hours from pittsburgh
Oh.

I was going to invite you over into Jersey for some Sunday Ticket if you were near Philly.

haha...thx though
I'm getting hungry now...thanks guys
something vegetarian for me

How are you guys doing tonight?

LOL Dude I added that just for you as a matter of fact.
why thank you tex
what is wrong with you?
I'm Hindu
I love cows

Just sayin’

lmfao

you went there!

Too much?
I don't think so.

With jokes either it’s all okay or none of its okay.

That's what the monkey says about... well, you know.
lol hindus eat fish don't they?
actually pretty much anything but beef, no?
Many like Anish are vegetarians. That is actually very common in India and in the Indian community here.
oh i didn't know that. the hindus i've met were meat eaters just not beef. they can cook some good fish.
Yeah some eat meat others do not. Just like any other religion there are varied sects.
lol not when your catholic.........lol jk jk but for the most part its kinda true lol
Yeah even they have some divisions.
are you religious?
If I am I can't discuss it here. Rules and all you know.
wait we have religious rules?
Its just one of those things we prefer you not talk about like politics.

Often gets out of hand.

yeah, religion and politics are touchy subjects...
I have a friends who's an Indian.....

Her Dad is not Hindu, and eats beef. Her Mom, and never ate beef.

Until they moved to Bahrain. There, she tried a hamburger one day. She decided that the cows in India are sacred and won’t eat beef in India – but outside of India, beef is good.

lol that's an awesome loophole for hindu's. now i wonder if jewish ppl have a loophole for pork?
yeah, my beliefs are a bit kore strict than that

No meat, no beer, no smoking, no onions/garlic

whoa thats pretty strict but good that u dont smoke or drink
Way to apply different ethnicities to cows... lol
yeah, go with what Tex said
Truth be told,....

When in Miami, it’s The Phin Addicts party. I just take the liberty to invite anybody who wants to show up. We do a Pot-luck list via FB mid-week and that seems to have worked well for us this season.

When home,…..I have been known to be the driving force behind organizing some pretty good tailgates. Two seasons ago ( w/ The Phinvaders & the Toledo club ) I got the ball rolling and we had ribs & shrimp. I like the good stuff,….

I swear man I am going to meet up with you at one game...

My wife was just having too many surgeries to get down there this year.

if the Phins are every in Pittsburh I will see you there...if you go.
Yes your also besides being the best tailgater and otherwise craziest fan with the best over the top fan experiences ever

the most generous member here. Thanks for all you do and bring to the site bro!

You need an ALL OF THE ABOVE option on your poll,....
yeah, but can you get all of that in the stands

it’s not like you are actually at home watching the game like the rest of us mere mortals. LOL

LOL An Ohio selection? I know people do multiple things but its more a question of what is your favorite.

What would you have if you could ONLY have one thing?

Large wings , marinated in special herbs and spices and their own juices for about 12 hours

then dipped in mamma’s special recipe breading and deep fried in peanut oil till golden brown, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm , mmmmmmmmmm, it will make your tongue beat your gums to death!

does espn cover the combine?
Like a blanket!
smart@$$...

so use to being home and watching it on NFL…only get ESPN at school here

I don't think they do

NFLN covers it

Yeah I would hate that. I have this idea where someone should sell tv online. Like an entire cable service online

that you could steam like netflix. When is that going to happen so we can take our TV with us anywhere?

wings 1st sausage 2nd and anything barbecued 3rd and sometimes pizza lol
all , perfect football food ! ^^^
Riley Reiff, eh? Bring it on
if they draft him in the 1st, they better take tannehill in the 2nd if he's there
I think Tannehill is extremely likely at this point
Mel Kiper made a lot of good points about our offense in that mock
he'd better be
Wait ... we have an actual Tannehill supporter in here!?

Shut the front door …

Ummm...

It’s already closed.

Im with you as usual.
Osweilwe has more upside

Plus he’s a fucking giant.
That being said I do like Tannehill

i think we have a better chance at going after Tannehill because of Mike Sherman
Agreed

If anyone knows him it’s his coach

yupp

and you can kind of do the same thing with Matt Flynn, so…

it’ll be interesting to see what we do…

if we go after Flynn I trust coach’s judgement on him…

yes, yes you do
I have a feeling we are going to go Manning in FA

The Reiff in round one, and Tannehill in round two.

Now, if they could find a way to make the numbers work, and land Mario Williams as well, I wouldn’t give a crap about what else they do in the draft. I would be sold on the offseason.

Mosul would just walk around all offseason with his eyes glazed over
Reiff will be greeted with the typical B.S. from everyone here

But he’s the most money offensive tackle to come out since Jake Long, imo. I would absolutely take him over Kalil.

And if anything should ever happen to Jake Long, we could just flip the two tackles and carry on.

Dude...

If we pulled off that offseason, I probably wouldn’t be able to post. I’d be going out of my mind.

I would be that stupid fan you see on YouTube just screaming and jumping around.

The fat kid with the Darth Maul lightsaber?
I might just be....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii2gZBQxH0Y

This guy probably dropped dead during the Super Bowl
Probably.

Although, I might too if Miami ever one it.

Is that a sandwich?
Im late to the party. What's up fellas
Just getting started.
wassup, people?

I like burgers on game day… and all other days…

nice Canes pic up there...

…they are playing (and beating) UNC right now… hope they can keep it up

SHUDUP!!!!
Ban hammer for finzrule
what???
Dont worry. Its only a rumor that Mosul has ever banned anyone.
lol, does he hate UM or love UNC?
Heels
got it... sorry

my intent was not to make you mad…

…if it makes you feel any better, its a 5 point game…

Gotta love the U
tie game now
I know ... Bleeh.
those offensive boards by the Heels are killing us
No, I'm fine.

Just trying to figure out why the Heels hate being a high ranked team….

don't think they hate it, considering they just took the lead...
Because Roy Williams is Satan
Why did that double post? WTF?
it didn't

i don’t see a double-post…

No...

Satan is in Alabama.

Mostly love UNC but he is also a Canes fan.
...im guessing you hate the Canes?
why???
Because you made him sad and he does not like being sad.
but why is he sad?
Because he is moody. I don't know.
Tex, please tell me it popped up that I banned you.
y would u ban tex?
if you did, he wouldn't be able to tell you
and why would you ban him?
Because he said it was a rumor that I had banned anyone.

So I banned him, then unbanned him.

lol thats a lil aggresive
don't mess with Mosul, he's a military man
Teach them your serious

I like it

No I missed it.
he probably unbannned you before you tried to post a comment or something so it didn't effect you...
Damn!

Too quick on the unban hammer.

What's up with these "deep, dark secrets" that we had going on in Miami from 2005 to 2006?

Was Sandusky working for us or something?

OMG, one more comment and Tex reaches 96,000 on Phinsider

that’s unheard of

Winning!
doh!

still short of 100K

you better hurry before Mosul resets your account, haha

No hes too cool to do something like that.
well, you have already eaten your words today...

Mosul DID just ban you, so you never know…

But I did not even know it.
I'm back!
Thank god

I was worried

no need
I will alert the press
aren't you technically a part of the press as you are a confronting author/editor on a phins news site
well, technically, it's a fins "blog"

so no…

that's debatable

It’s between both, we do have breakin news, like a news site, and we also have opinion articles, like a blog. We are technically both.

true, true...

…but it is labeled as a “blog”

but yes, there are many people who just read articles and do not bother to comment, using this as a “news” site…

so it goes both ways…

I suppose you could argue that point
Technically beside here he is part of the press.
Yes. I am an assistant editor at a newspaper
I think I should ban TCP and make him get a new login....

Just so he has to start his comment count over.

that and so he doesn't reach 96 grand...

…he’s at 95,999

better yet, so he doesn't reach 100K

lol

lol, that's just mean
Any chance that you people will reward me with a Matty in 2012?
what happened to "no campaigning"?
lmao,how about the self promotion award ! lol
hahaha!
I see what you did there

And I am a higher-up. I’ll do what I want

not if you campaign like that...

lol

Are you under 18?

If so, stay away from my award damnit

I'm 17

you better watch your back, punk

Don't worry we're both gonna lose to Anish
yeah, it'll either be Anish, Kdog, or AlejandroN

unless if they are all over, but Anish just posted he’s under, so…..

yeah, I have the next 3 years to win it, I'm 15

And I think kdog and alejandroN might be 19

OMG, and you've been here for a while, too

if that’s true, then you should win the award…

Agreed Anish deserves it
thanks guys, appreciate it

But really, it could go any way.

LOL, to be honest, though

you are one of the biggest names on the site…

i think Kdog would beat you, and maybe AlejandroN, but if they are 19+, i think you win no contest

that's the thing

Hey dog! How old are you? How bout alejandroN?

lol, put it up as a fanshot and you should have an answer within the next few hours...
I wonder who would be up for rookie of the year though

I could have a shot, if not a chance.

who are the notable rooks?
besides you, of course
What about me?
aren't you like 45?

and not a rookie?

No I'm not that old damn it.
44?
No damn it.
I believe it's 38?
I'm sorry... 43?
Still high.
40 flat?
Close.
I'll go with what Anish said.... 38?
Yeah ok. Im 38. I like that.
alright....

sorry about that, lol

LOL Its fine. I really don't care.
i assumed it, but i like to apologize anyway...

…my personality. i guess…

yay! I'm right!
lol, thanx for the assist
any time bud
42
the question was answered already; he's 38, lol
Your a rookie?!

That’s another loss

he's not

he’s been here longer than me… i think…

I doubt you qualify, you've been here for at least 2 years (I think)
But I had not been here long enough the last time they came up and now

I have been here too long? I want justice!

this is true....

talk to Mosul about it… he’ll probably know the answer…

How on earth am I notable?

You would beat for gods sake,

well, I'm not a rookie
I'm technically a rookie, since I've been around for less than a year and I wasn't around for the last mattys

What are the criteria to qualify as a rookie?

less than a year as a member, I believe

so if you are in fact a rookie, you should win that, too

yeah, I registered last summer, so I qualify.
well, that's at least one Matty for you.... unless if we are forgetting someone...
Wait on that.

I am going to ammend the ROY rules, I think…..

in what way?
I haven't figured it out yet.

Or, maybe I will add a Sophomore of the Year award to make up for the lack of a ROY from last year.

that's probably a good idea...
If K-Dogs eligeble it gets interesting

Beyond that, blowout!

lol, don't be too sure about that

But thanks anyways, lol.

keiths over 18

I think me, you and maybe kdog and alejandron(I’m not sure if they are 18 or 19) are the main contenders

and finzrule apparently
nah... you guys will definitely beat me
Your gonna destroy me

Its not even fair really

rec'd for the pic of the hotties.
OMG LOL @ ur avatar pic

of the Delocated ad, hahahaha!

Yeah, why did you decide to bring the Delocated into your daily life after so many fanshot campaigns against him?
seriously...

i guess he wanted to get used to it faster…

…i think he got a little TOO used to it…

My Anti-Delocated campaigns got shot down...

After my stripper was deleted, I went with the old adage: “if you can’t beat em, join em…”

this UM-UNC game is stressful
I know!

Stupid mistakes are killing us

no score for like the last 3 min...
I can't believe UNC hasn't put this game away already.
yeah, this game shouldn't be close...
and that should do it
24 offensive boards...
can't expect to win when you allow that...

btw, how old are you?

i know this is random but we are having a conversation about you above

Lmao I'm 17

One of the youngest of the seniors lol

ah... there we go...

so you, Anish, and possibly Kdog are the only competition for the younster award…

kdog is in college, so he's probably 18 or 19

He won’t qualify either way as I believe it is below 18, not 18 and below.

ooooh, okay....
so it's me, you, phinsphana and finzrule for now, maybe kdog
I think k-dog is 19

Not exactly sure though

I'm gonna lose.....BAD

So too all my supporters, all 3 of you. Vote for Anish

lol, thanks
anyways, alejandro probably deserves it more than me anyways

He’s a front page writer, and it’s his last year, while there’s always next year for me, or the year after.

well, nothing against Alejandro, but

its all about the best candidate, not about how many other years you can win the award…

while idk how it would go between you 2, I wouldn’t base it off that, lol

to be honest, I don't think myself or phinsphana have a chance,

nothing against you, phinsphana, but these guys are just bigger names here than us, lol

Oh I know. It's not that big of a deal though
Ahhh... sleeping baby
How are things going?
Going pretty good

getting adjusted. Sorry I haven’t been posting. I’ll have one ready for next week.

No problem.

You have…other obligations right now.

Hopefully I'll be able to cover the combine in depth
Hopefully....

Because between you and KMB, you guys are the prospect/college scouting guys on the site.

Go UCF! lol
I can agree to that

I would rec it if I could

nice ill keep a mental note of it
i'll rec it for you...

…I don’t care for UCF, but it’ll represent your intended rec

Are you a senior?
thanks, are you set as to where you are going?
yea

FIU… the explanation is a couple comments below…

yea, i saw it. a couple of my cousins want to go there
Are they playing now?
no, they play on Saturday

yo do you know where u are goin to college? did u get any letters yet?

Yea I got into UM, FSU, and FIU

Still not sure on where I’m going though, each college has its own advantages…How about you, are you all set on UCF?

my parents won't let me leave Miami, so i'm off to FIU...

…I won’t get a scholarship to UM with my 3.3 and I’m not gonna play 40K per year to go there, lol

My dad went to FIU. Its a good school.
yeah, underrated school. its in the top 3 in FL for a lot of areas
He did fine. In the end a degree is a degree. Its what you do with it more then where you got it from

a lot of times.

exactly

the name helps, but it doesn’t make or break you…

Sure the name might open a few doors in the beginning but what you do after that will define you more.
yeah...

and i’ve got a job lined up in an accounting firm starting this summer, and I could continue working there, so I think I’m in pretty good shape in terms of that…

Haha yea my mom is freaking out whenever I tell her I'm leaving

So I’m basically in between UM and FIU…it’s basically a money thing. Btw what shool do you go to?

Belen, HBU?
No way, I go to Columbus lol
aww, damn, I hate you now, haha, jk

that’s cool man, were u at the basketball game last month?

Yea that was insane

The two student sections was more fun than the actual game haha

yeah, it was, lol

even though all those damn free throws we missed was super stressful for us, lol

Yea the last 2 minutes of that game was all free throws

Btw who was that kid that elbowed our guy in the face? I heard it was some sophomore

oh, so that's what happened!

all i saw was one of your guys throwing punches with our guy walking away so I assumed that he shoved him or something…

i was surprised your guy didn’t get ejected, though…

and he’s a sophomore, but idk his name

Yea it got intense towards the end

The father of our player got thrown out of the stadium because he was heated

LOL, I don't blame him
yea, the first two years are basically your basic classes, so it wont matter until your 3rd year, so u can transfer over too
yeah, tow more years to polish the resume and convince the parents to let you go
yea lol, my mom is kinda freaking out.

i keep telling her im only going to be 2 or 4 hours away (depending on where they move, or 22 hours if they stay in VA lol) so i can visit them on a 3 day weekend or break

lol, that's true...
yea UM is really expensive. Even with me being out of state it would still be 10k more than UCF.

My parents r trying to get a job in Florida though so after a year i can get in state.

Where would you go for that first year?
ill still go to UCF, ill be on campus.

They will either be in Miami or Jacksonville. We have to wait a full year before we get the instate tuition.

Ooo ok

I visited UCF last year, it has a really nice campus and has an awesome Wellness Center

yea, i did a quick tour of it while i was in Miami to go to one of the games for Thanksgiving break.

I wanted to visit UM but then i was reminded by my family the price lol. I saw the outside and from what i saw it was pretty nice

nice u got into Miami. wasnt that ur #1?

yea, i really like the campus when i visited down there and its pretty good in Engineering. Wish i could have moved back down to Miami though lol

Yea it's my number 1

But I got a really good scholarship for FIU, and a $8,000 scholarship for UM, which makes it really expensive still…I need to find a job! And yea the campus is amazing

I gotta go

Might be back later
Also you should do a live thread on the Mattys, it seems to be a fun topic

peace

And the Matty nomination posts are practically day time live threads anyways.

We are looking in to that.
Thats Mosuls deal now.
Why is is breaking news that Jeremy Lin had 10 points and 13 assist?

Lin-Sanity is almost as bad as Tebow-Mania

double double?

13 assists is pretty good. I think its mainly because he is tiawanesse/chinesse. My who is asian never used to watch sports but now he is watching it just cause he is asian lol

well, 13 assists is a lot...

i wouldn’t say its worse than Tebow-mania… Lin is actually good

Yea I think Lin can be a very good PG in the NBA

I’m just saying that Rajon Rondoand Steve Nash can put up those numbers and not be mentioned. I guess him being Asian and a big underdog has to do with it.

yeah, and he just recently exploded, so there is buzz around this guy...

…if rondo had the same numbers that Lin has had over the past 2 weeks, it wouldn’t be heralded, obviously, but since this guy came from nowhere and has a great story, he is being closely watched at the moment…

quick question time

Luke kuechly or vontaze burfuct? I choose kuechly as he reminds me of Zach thomas, not the most athletic guy, but incredibly smart and great instincts. Thoughts?

Vontaze... dude is a beast

Needs to mature, but Wake, Dansby, and guys like that would keep in him line and teach him to be a pro

Kuechly all day
I always take the more brilliant prospect over the athletic specimen
The first thing im going to do at UCF is find a way to watch the Dolphins. After that everything will fall into place
bring a small tv, that's what I will do
i need the Jags or Bucs to move to LA so i can watch the Dolphins games in local TV. I dont think they show them unless the Jags or Bucs arent playinh
NFL Season Ticket
yea, but u would need direct tv rite? i dont think they will allow that in the dorms.

Im thinking about getting the NFL sunday ticket to go and watch in on the laptop.

AH! I keep getting the name wrong! Sunday ticket, lmaoo

yeah, that would work, though

Yea i think thats what ill ultimately end up doing. Maybe go down to Miami to watch a game once
yeah, ur gonna have to buy league pass because up in Tampa you gotta watch Josh Freeman's hair, lol
i mean season ticket...

…league pass is for NBA, lol

Also what ive noticed is that college basketball is a little more exciting to watch than college because you can tell that the players try to win as a team.
college is more exciting than college?
College is more exciting than NBA, my bad.

Doing hw and this at the same time is wearing me out lol

gotcha... lol

people say that all the time, but I personally prefer NBA, i find it more fun to watch…

…it probably has to do with the fact that I know nothing about college basketball and know a lot about the NBA, but I just prefer it…

I like watching the Heat play too when they play a good team and i know it will still be a good game by the 4th quarter.

College basketball seems to always be close throughout

exept when ranked teams play garbage teams, lol
o yea, but for the most part its close

and they play a lot of conference games which are must wins

true, true....

still, though… even though the reason and rationality is with college, I think I will always prefer NBA….

…just preference, i guess…

yea and the Heat will deliver championships which is always a plus for the NBA
Yes of course except for the times that its not and then its something else all together, I think!?!
i think it could be to that its lower scoring so it usually comes down to the last few minutes

Also in the NBA the Heat usually blow other people out so it isnt a game till the 4th quarter

I guess...

…I still like the NBA better, though…

one thing i really don’t like about college is that the shot clock is 35 seconds… I have always hated that, things move so slow when you are used to the 24 second shot clock….

yea, plus the 2 halves is pretty strange in comparison to the 4 quarters in the NBA
also true, but i don't really mind that

its more the pace of the game…

o i see, yea its a lot more passing too
But the first 3 quarters are always exciting

Especially when you have Eric Reid and tony Fiorentino calling the games. Also, the post game interviews are always pretty funny

yeah, Eric and Tony are good announcers

Chris Bosh always makes the interviews fun to watch… did you see his slip up the other day?

Yea that was hilarious!

“I think we did good, I think we did real good, GOOD SH*T”

that was awesome...

…Jason Jackson saved it, though :(

hahaha

Is Tex still around?
Yes, I just saw him wandering around.
I haven't seen him

thank God

Check the bushes. Just sayin'!
I'd rather just think he's not here
I found him. Thanks
darn

i was hoping we wouldn’t….

alright, guys I'm outta here

waking up at 6 AM sucks, and the longer I stay here the more it will suck, haha

btw, Alejandro, before I leave...

were u able to get tix for the Belen-Columbus baseball game???

Where did everyone go?
Here

Just hanging out and watching TV.

I would love to win a Matty...

too bad they don’t have one for the most controversial Phin fan.. I would definitely be in the running there… oh well…

or the most creative sig?

for the Wizard of Oz reference sig? or avatar? for the Rex Ryan foot loving avatar… or my Sanchez surrounded with the hot dogs avatar I used to have…

I don't think so. Your not really controversial or at least I am missing it.
I used to be ... people used to say everything I said was the craziest thing ever...

like back when I suggested that we move John Jerry to RT and Vernon Carey to RG… about the 3rd or 4th game of the season in 2010… people went crazy… we couldn’t possibly have Carey switch inside.. Jerry couldn’t play outside.. you can’t just switch offensive linemen around because they are completely different positions… Then in 2011 we restructured Carey’s contract and moved him inside to RG… then at the end of the season when Jake Long was out we had no choice but to play Jerry at LT… he did pretty well… he actually did better at LT then I would have expected.. but there you go… apparently I do know something … about something…

Its just an opinion. It cracks me up how twisted people get over opinions. I mean some people take the shit to heart

and seriously get pissed off like we have any real say or power over what happens.

I don't care what I get a Matty for really...

I just want a Matty….

the lowest rec per post/comment percentage?

like I said… as long as i am in the running for a Matty

I don't have one either. They all go to Nicky it seems.
Thats surprising...
I would have thought you won at least a few...

I knew Nicky had a couple …

Nicky has like most of them at least once. Just go to the full list.
in case you missed any of that...

Salsa Cheesedog...

Start with a Nathan’s hot dog(the only hot dog I will eat)
add some salsa
put the cheese on top…. and nuke it long enough to melt the cheese.
