so who is doing what, on new years? im attending a lovely get together at friends. i like doing that rather than going out someplace.
random . . . randomness
Unfortunately, DC and Baltimore get crap in terms of NYE bands to go see… I am either going to stay at home, or maybe go out to the downtown area of Annapolis to watch the fireworks (depending on how cold it is).

I've been going out for the past few years and it's gotten tiresome. Even if we hit a fun little dive bar. My friend is having a house party. So, we're gonna grab some dinner and some drinks then head back to his place. Then binge drink forever. Hopefully wake up in time for the Winter Classic.

But what are you going to do in 2019? He's got a track record of being a 4 year guy….

I couldn't see him gone in 4 years unless he wins a National title, in which case, I don't care and we'll name a fucking building after him. I think he'll be there the entire 6-7 year contract and have a successor ready to go if he does want to jump back to the NFL (which I'm __really__ not sure he's going to do). He's not going to do his alma mater that way.
Brian Kelly to 49ers? I can dream.

Anyone headed to the Winter Classic?

Are tickets even possible to get at this point? What would we be looking at pricewise?
Also, we have a hockey thread on the first page. Not random at all!
You were just talking about FOOTBALL coaches in this thread. I do not see why a hockey mention gets an admonishing comment from you.

Also, as to my comments yesterday, we DO have a hockey thread, but NOT a college football one.
I would guess it is probably because college football is not worth a thread.

I must have missed the hockey thread, I remember the Caps one floating around but I didn't want to bump it.
Also, standing room tickets were at 197 yesterday on StubHub and today they jumped to 350. I was tempted at 200 for Standing Room…

I think you do not understand the word random. Random draws from everything possible, however improbable.
Like this list: Mustard, Beets, 23481hjnnaov9, -901maschizno.
Even that's not quite random, but you get the idea. If this were called "Miscellany - not otherwise categorized", then you would be correct in drawing our attention to a more relevant thread.

That's too rich for my blood. Had I not already been to a Winter Classic and was a Caps or Hawks fan, then absolutely yes, you'll love it, but I'm not paying $350 for standing room only tickets to see two teams I'm indifferent about play outside in cold weather.

I still maintain a post on a subject that we have a long running thread covering will have the best chance of being seen by an audience who cares about it if posted in that thread instead of here, but everyone should make their own decisions on such.
