Any publicity's good publicity, right gals?

My favorite comments seen so far:
"Hear they snatch a lot of HRs" and "I think we found it boys"

yeah, thanks for this, because I was just wondering and hoping this is perhaps an American regional difference? (and I thought the Brits said it "primmer")

Hey UVA. What say you?
(see, it's not that hard)

Also, nice burn:
"Some schools, like the University of Virginia, have turned to the time-tested higher education strategy of delaying controversial decisions by creating a committee."

Remember, it's ok to vote for just two. (Probably a smart move, too.)

I realize this isn't near the top of the issues of the day, but was anyone else thrown by the setup here?

What is up with the tablecloths and presidential seal thrown on at the last minute? Like the local school letting grandpa pretend he’s president for a day (and are the gold cloths all dirty?)

My theory is someone mathed and made it just short of what the average person needs, prompting one to buy that second actually unnecessary bottle.

As long as we’re here … what about the 2-packs having the same size Day/NyQuil bottles? Has anyone ever used close to the same amounts of each?

Oh I was worried about this as they were all gathering up near the end zone, but it wasn’t until quite a bit later we saw an ambulance and then again quite a bit later fire trucks.

Is there any update?

That was possibly the most fun & exciting football game I’ve ever seen. (And yes I also saw that other UVA / FSU game.)
