For those who want/care/can. June 12 is a Sat. Right now the plan is Hooligans in the Latta Arcade uptown. The US v Eng match starts at 2.

I suggest getting there about 3hrs or earlier before. Word of caution to the casual fan. If you wear something US related, expect major heckling from the Brits. Be prepared to be amazed at the audacity of the 3 Lions fans and how they will dance to just about anything. Be amazed the sheer scope of alcohol consumed. Be amazed at the sheer need for dental work as well.

If you are in, let me know so I can keep coordinating with some other folks. Right now we are close to 20.

Even if you hate the sport, come on down and party and learn about the beautiful game and have a blast.

There is one Huddler who has interwebz immunity for being IN a wedding and not GOING to one. You know who you are.

I can't wait and I look forward to a month long celebration of the beautiful game and tons of chatter on the Huddle. :D

Can't afford to go down there, though I wish I could.

I can, however, do the bold part.

a few questions...whats the TV situation like there? Checking out the website, the place looks very small (understandably), so id hate to go for the game and not be able to see poo.

What about food?

The owner told me they are bringing tv's out in the courtyard. Im going tomorow during lunch or so and scope it out some more.

Foodwise it's a pub but I will double check on that.

Husker is IN a wedding. And I have to show some restraint and not send him any updates of the match.

I will post some more details tomorrow.

They say they are serving breakfast and lunch. Match is at 2. I will talk to the both the owners of French Qrtr and Brevard Court. I know those guys and see if they will be open. I think I can talk Danny into being open that day.

      2025 College Football Thread

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      UNC's football relevance has always basically been, "Hey, remember how great our basketball program is?" To extent that has worked but they have never been able to capitalize on that towards being a legit ACC power. The closest was Mack Brown 1.0 and that was stopped by prime Bowden FSU. TBH, they should have utilized all these resources they just poured into Belichick into, IDK, a legit college football coach? This is one of the more insane uses of that kind of money I have seen in CFB, which is no stranger to insane, irresponsible uses of money. The SEC and Big Ten have already shot themselves in the foot. The model they are operating on only works if TV revenues continue to go up. Well, demographics aren't working in their favor. Economics either, TBH. The NIL didn't change very much, if you notice. The haves still have and the have nots don't. The only difference between pre-NIL and NIL was the money being below the table and above it. College athletics has never at any point been about fairness. It's the most dramatically unequal system in all US atheltics. My only hope is that the collapse is swift, dramatic and most importantly SOON. I would like to see the rebuilding of this all to something closer to what it was 40-50 years ago. Regional and not such money grubbing nonsense.

      Hendon Hooker signed to practice squad

      By Waldo · Posted

      Meh Dalton looks washed. He was good for at least 1 entertaining game a year but Im not sure he even has one of those left at this point. His game style and old age hasn't been a good combo IMO.  Not going to compare him to Hooker because Hooker is another longshot to ever be worth a #2 spot. At least he isn't Plummer I guess. Young better stay healthy or they could go backwards in wins with those 2 options this year.
