On a new vehicle, I will do dealer financing during the negotiation process to get the lowest possible price on the car. I don't care what interest rate they come back with because I pay if off within 45 days of pulling off the lot. Going into debt on anything that depreciates is just dumb.

Took an hour and 45 minutes to go 3.4 miles to the entrance of our neighborhood. I've been going to AU sporting events for 50 years and never experienced anything as poorly handled as tonight. We paid to park in the west lots but upon arrival there was no one on site to scan the parking pass. When exiting, there was no university or police personnel on site to direct traffic. It got to the point after an hour that some people took it upon themselves to get into the middle of the road and take over traffic management. It appeared the university wanted to maximize profits by cashing in on parking fees but not actually paying anybody to work the areas. Then once we eventually made it onto East University, traffic in the left lane was backed up from the intersection of College all the way to the intersection of Dean waiting to make a left turn onto College. Fortunately, we were able to bypass that by going down the right lane and then turning into the gas station past the Publix to go around all that mess and then behind the Publix to get back onto College. At that point, traffic was backed up all the way from 280 to the Waffle House. Just incredible for what was now 1 hour and 40 minutes after the game had completed. Not sure why the university and city decided to not implement the standard post football game traffic management plan tonight. They took a great event and left everyone thinking the town is full of incompetent leadership on their way out of town.

Make sure you bring chairs and get there when the gates open.

There is no bringing chairs allowed. The university has setup chairs in the Terrace and a nice set of bleachers behind them.

What's the latest they would start a second game today? Would like to win today and be able to rest up for double header tomorrow.

Carter has killed a couple of innings with his terrible at bats tonight. Hopefully the pitching can hold up so those wasted opportunities don't cost AU the game.

We recently bought a Lexus that has this, it is the worst. BUT, it doesn't have the ridiculous auto shutoff thing. But the monitoring system watches your face and sounds an alert if you look to the side for longer than a second or two, I hate it.

Wife's Lexus has that feature too. After a drive down the beach and that thing dinging every time I turned my head to make sure each lady in a thong was a safe distance from the vehicle for me to proceed, I went into settings and turned that crap off.

A&M type collapse.

At least Wimp stayed in his age bracket when banging and beating employees. Nate is just living his bammer white trash dream.

Heading west on the highway with both kids and wife in my truck and a truck towing a flatbed trailer heading east is sliding in the median heading right for us. As he veers to his right the trailer becomes airborn and collides with us just below hood level. A couple of inches higher and it comes right through the windshield killing me and the wife and most likely both my kids in the backseat. Was lucky as hell that I had opted for a truck with a 4" lift. Felt like it was in slow motion despite the whole thing likely taking less than a second with absolutely no way to avoid the collision at 70 mph.

Stings losing to a team that completely fell apart the last 10 games of the year but was still better than UK.
