1) Southern Illinois in the fall has a lot of perfect weather and the Shawnee National Forest next door

3) Great tailgating
4) At least a dozen wineries within 10 miles 5) I have 25 acres for bonfire/party/camping/RV and base of operations

Is the ex-O-lineman going to get a small block of tix or is it tailgate and then every man (or bandl) for himself?
Don't mistake the shitty play of the football team(and basketball and lacrosse) for the lack of scenery and entertainment around town.
I can prolly get a block of tickets fairly cheap if enough people are going to come.
I'm there man. Just make sure you get money from these deadbeats first so they don't kill ya when they cancel at the last minute due to some bullshit excuse.

Potential pitfall, though there are other parking lots, is that the parking lot I normally park in is going to be completely closed due to the construction of the new arena.

We're 5 miles from the stadium and I have a friend who does civil unions for Jon and Alex. We'll tailgate like Romans and hit the wineries after the game. Close out the evening shooting pool at Fuzzy's Tavern.
Sunday we can all gather in the pasture and derive inspiration by reading Thoughts of Chairman Mao and chanting political slogans to banjo music.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

Why should the settle for a civil union ceremony in some cow pasture in freaking Carbondale when they can have an official, recognized, marriage in the state of Iowa.

I live in the most liberal state and we can't even get the homo-gays married WTF? Jon needs to get the hell out of that anti gay-mexican territory called Arizona, oh and they don't like blacks there either. No MLK day until they took away the super bowl. then poof MLK day. I don't get how the US allows a state to do that. Hell they don't believe in daylight saving there either. Bunch of haters! In CA you get your ass kicked for not being tolerant of other belief, race, orientation, unless you wear a sign saying you're a pastor/priest and you're not down w/ gays cuz god told you.
PS ESPN just said Fiesta Bowl might lose BCS bid status because they were giving kickbacks to politicians and skimming off the top. Where is the Fiesta Bowl. AZ territory

Because they would have to be in Iowa and die of boredom in the cold. And SIU whupping UNI at home, yet again, would put a damper on the festivities. We need a game that will be interesting.

The Banjo originated in Africa, Z. Check out the Carolina Chocolate Drops if you want to see some hot Banjo.
And why do you keep axing me if I'm black?

You live in Carbondale.
And SIU has won 1 game at UNI in the last 20 years.

There are maybe six guys on the team that can remember losing a game to UNI.
Fourteen starters back, seven from the MVCs best total defense.

I'm thinking we're gonna do something for the EWU game on Sept. 17th. There may be a few surprise guests coming in for that game so when I get more information we'll get the ball rolling on this one.

I'd agree if UM were more centrally located. I think the Mississippi River is a good middle ground, so that means SIU or UNI, which really isn't much choice.
UNI - Cold, dark, remote; fat chicks, indoor field.
SIU - Great weather, new stadium, poontang galore, wineries everywhere.

I agree about UNI, but that's just because I refuse to every step foot in the hell hole ever again.
What is the closest airport to SIU?
From Towson you've got BWI a stone's throw away, National less than an hour south, Dulles about an hour+ south, Philly about an hour north...
