Eliminate all conference games. And have a 24 team playoff, rewarding strength of quality wins, especially on the road.

With the playoff conference championships for the P2 don't matter so the conference record doesn't matter. So let teams play the rivals their fans want them to instead of stupid random mega conference matches.

And add a 7 home game limit as an extra disincentive against playing 12 scrubs at home.

Nürnberg is really popular. It is the home of lebkuchen and the bread for the bratwurst is really good, like the old reising pistolettes.

Here is a good article to have your browser translate with a bunch of suggestions around Munich.

If you come in one calendar month for long enough and your group is small, get a deutschlandticket and you can go anywhere on the local trains, even to Salzburg.
Drivin n cryin is seriously underrated.

You will be there during Christmas market season, and Brno was named the European Christmas capital.
Orlando was appealing because it could support the park year round and has two north south highways nearby (I-75 and I-95) providing access to the midwest and northeast. The Northshore could support the park pretty much year round and has two north south highways nearby (I-55 and I-59) providing access to the midwest and northeast. It wasn't unreasonable.

The funniest scenario is BYU, SMU, Boise St., and Army all win out but LSU sneaks into the championship game and wins, but ends up the 6th highest-rated conference champion and gets left out entirely.
Wycombe has really fallen off from almost being in the Championship last year. Now with the Couhigs out, are they going to continue falling?
Chronological order - though I think they generally have been getting better over time.

Cricket and rugby has always fascinated me, but I have no idea how they are played.


Cricket is sort of like baseball with two bases and you stay up and keep batting until you're out - just keep switching sides. 4 runs for the equivalent of a standing rules double and 6 runs for the equivalent of a home run.

Rugby's just football without the forward pass or downs.

Now for the actual rules? Yeah, that gets complicated, but so does trying to explain things like intentional grounding.

You're not wrong. The dude who bowled the super over works at Oracle.

This result is insane. Bigger than Chaminade over Virginia. More far-fetched than the Miracle on Ice. The only thing I can think of that comes close is beating England at the 1950 World Cup with another bunch of weekend warriors. It's like your neighborhood's pickup team took down the 76ers in the NBA playoffs.
If you like the Easter Vigil, don't miss the long-form Pentecost Vigil if you can find it.
Had to scroll way too far for Elmer's. I used to love their chocolate fudge eggs. I think they no longer make them or the other cream eggs like maple nut.

Raising Arizona is perfection. To hear Edgar Wright gush over it and its companion piece Evil Dead II and how it inspired Hot Fuzz is worth it.
Looks like Army started it and these are the dominos per MLive.com.

Army joins AAC and drops Wake Forest.
Wake can't add a 2nd FCS team and cuts a deal with Michigan State and the Cajuns.
