Sweet merciful baby Christ. I'll take being down 14 right now.

You aren't kidding. And UW gets the ball to start the 2nd half. Extremely fortunate for those 2 turnovers.

I'm just aching to see mcswerrly get his ass kicked.

I don't see it staying at just 14 for long sadly. Both sides are playing like they are deer in headlights. The offense has been offensive to watch. Doubt they get more turnovers to help make it look closer than it has otherwise been in actual play.

 

[The Oldtimer]

You're looking different, OT

LOL, yeah I lost an avi bet to Mall.

Off to a wedding reception. Better have the game on. The wife is a huge football fan si hipefully her new spouse is too.

Now that is a young kids game, going out to bars and such. I suppose if i didnt have a wife and 3 kids i might do it but even when i was younger i always opted for hosting (when iw as single too) at my place cheaper and didnt have to worry about getting home, plus my bed was always there.

Well I still haven't hit 30 yet so that's my routine lol. It's super expensive though. Posted a thread about how I spent $300 in one night just on drinks at expensive Seattle bars.

That's why I'm staying home to watch this game. Didn't want to blow a bunch at the bars. I'd easily rack up a tab of $100+

Looks like Washington's Oline coach made adjustments

 

[kburjr]

Far from a daily drinker, and way far away from a Whiskey drinker.

Just need some for friends that visit. Thanks for the mention. I'll try to check it out.

Another good Jameson is the Caskmates. A stout finished whiskey. About the same price as regular.

UW is heading in the right direction. Playing top competition in Bowls and starting to get top tier guys. Got to start somewhere.

 

[TheDman875]

He is a good/nice QB. Not a game-changer.

Frustrating in big games I'm sure.

Very frustrating. He gets rattled a couple times and turns to dogshit.

Yea that was always my thing!! well that and of course here in nebraska you cant partake in other things that i did in the younger years

With how bad UW just got outplayed, they are only down 14. Nothing insurmountable. Lets see if Petersen can make some adjustments

 

[kburjr]

Why? the vanilla is not even strong, quite a subtle flavor. I actually had a coffee beer the other day (mind you i despise coffee) and i didnt hate it, cant remember what it was might have been a porter also (i dont spend premium money on beer i can see through, if i can see through it ill drink the cheap stuff)

Just didn't like it. Can't remember why. I like Leinie's bocks and double bicks

 

[seahawksfan234]

Another thing i am not on board with, whats the deal with IPA's ? if you are going to go with local craft beer i find stouts and porters so much better tasting the darker the better in my opinion

I'm not a huge fan of dark beers. I really like IPAs because I think they have a lot of taste to them. For me, dark beers really fill me up and don't have the alcohol content of IPAs most of the time. I really like IPAs a lot. I should expand my pallet and try more dark beers though.

In Seattle our craft brews are generally a collection of IPAs and they are absolutely delicious. If I lived somewhere else, I'd probably feel differently though.

All this talk of drinking, i have been saving monday for being hungover not sure if i wana wait anymore, might send the wife to the store and get some beers, might just drink some rum, might just drink my water so conflicted now.

Make a decision!!!!

 

[seahawksfan234]

You still have 30 minuets of play left to play, I think your O will be fine, the problem is your D, it’s getting pounded like a prostutes vagina

That's the biggest issue. Even if the offense gets their shit together, I haven't seen a Husky defense perform this poorly in the last two years.

Most dark beers i drink are 6% or more...and filling you up keeps you from drinking too many too fast

Weren't people saying that at half time of your bowl game last night? How'd that work out.

PSU has been clearly dominate in all 3 phases of the game so far and there is little sign any of that will substantially change.

Of course 14 points isn't entirely out of it just on pure points to time left, but UW just didn't bring their best today and it has shown. It would take a pretty weird turn around to make it a game at this point.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Beer drinking Tequila shooting people that I've know have been batshit crazy.

Course, I've only known 2 of them, and they were female, so maybe you can make some improvement on that measure.

I am batshit crazy.

I was looking for Nick Holt on the sideline after that long Barkley TD. Bad flashback there.
