Probably won't go to the game unless we find tix for dirt cheap, which probably won't happen.

Just gonna sit at a bar and watch, any suggestions?

karen lotz;1309577 wrote:haha I've been to Purdue, Michigan, and BYU. Not one of those games was comfortable at any point. They are more fun, especially this year with how the crowd has stayed into the games, but you're right about not being able to take too many more of them. I almost bought tickets from ND this morning but just couldn't do it. Will have to settle for the Wake Forest game.

Of course no charges were filed against the ND students because they are protected everywhere.

PITTSBURGH -- Three Pittsburgh football players have been charged with simple assault and conspiracy in connection with an incident last month involving three other students, one of whom reported he was hit in the head during a brief confrontation on the street. Online court records don't list attorneys for the players charged in the complaint filed by city police on Thursday: running back Ray Graham, receiver Devin Street and defensive back Lafayette Pitts. The players were not arrested but have been mailed summonses to appear in Pittsburgh Municipal Court for a preliminary hearing on the charges Jan. 9. Pitt released a statement Friday indicating the players are not suspended and are eligible to play Saturday against Notre Dame (No. 3 BCS, No. 4 AP). "Those individuals have denied any involvement with the situation and have offered to speak with authorities, although to date they have not been questioned or received any court documents," read the statement from Pitt's athletic department. "We take matters of player discipline very seriously and will continue to cooperate with any investigation. However, we will not, and hope others will not, rush to judgment on these misdemeanor allegations. "All three players will remain active members of our program while we gain more clarity on this situation." Graham, of Elizabeth, N.J., is the Panthers' leading rusher with 622 yards and seven touchdowns. Street, of Bethlehem, is the team's leading receiver with 50 catches for 695 yards and four scores. Pitts, of East Pittsburgh, is also the team's top kick-returner.
