Just spoke to the daughter...her and her husband are W&M grads...and she's got a big decision...

They want to drive up to Philly for the game...about 3 hours one way...

But they have friends coming into town...do they skip out on the friends who don't care about the Tribe...

We will see... :mrgreen:

I doubt it...I'm saving my last kitchen pass for Chatty, in hopes the Tribe makes it...

I will most likely make it there... :thumb:

I ahve a Towson buddy up in Bucks County, I'm thinking about going. I hear Nova tickets are harder to get than Towson tickets.

Should be a great game to watch. Seeing I don't get ESPN2 it looks like I'll have to watch it on ESPN360.

Come to think of it though I think I'm going on a pub crawl that night so maybe I won't get to watch the game.

I think it will be pretty good. I actually got a busy signal when I called the W&M ticket office this morning. :shock:

We have a ton of alumni in the Washington to NY corridor. The athletic department is doing a good job of drumming up interest via emails. They've chartered buses for fans to go up from Williamsburg (and announced it earlier in the week than the one that went to SIU).

Yeah, I guess. Sorry SF.

I was at the Towson Villanova beatdown, and decided I would root for them in the playoffs. Plus W&M was throwing on us in the last minutes to run up the score to 31-0.

It's 2.5 hours from Baltimore to Willaimsburg, and an hour to Philthy. 3.5 hours.

499 - every time a Towson fan commits to cheer for Nova, two Nova fans drop out in horror of a public school graduate attending their game.

Interesting turn of events considering the ante is a Busch Light. I see his offer and raise him a Keystone Light :lol: :lol:

Yes, we passed 7 times in 17 plays in the 4th quarter. Four of those were by our backup QB, Terrance Schmand, who rarely gets to play and needed to work in a real game situation, not just practice his handoffs. 2 of 3 passes by RJ Archer came early in the 4th on 3rd and long. I can't address if Towson was playing a prevent-the-run defense that begged for a dump off to a wideout.
