Remember, Penn State vs UCF kicks off at 8:30 Eastern. For the west coast, this means you can justify drinking as early as...well I'm pretty sure you could just keep going from Friday night without stopping.

So I'm in state college today, and was looking forward to trying one of those places that was featured on a Todd Blackledge segment.

Only to find out half of the road is shut down and couldn't go :smith:.

Still wow...Beautiful Area. Really need to go to a game here sometime.

Which road were they working on? You probably could have got pretty close then used your walking legs

One right in front of the Austrian Bistro. (which I really, really wanted to try).

I was really tired so I gave up.

A shame you didn't post that earlier. There's a parking garage right behind it that you can access from a road that isn't being worked on.

I had to fight the guy in there to get a to-go box. That was an odd night. Good was pretty good, although I'm not a fan of sauerkraut in general.

Tampa dropped right before the split happened and it turns out that Boston University was never a IA team.

Of all the states I've driven hundreds of miles across or observed from the window of a train, West Virginia or Western Virginia is probably the prettiest. South Carolina was the blandest. Western Ohio is the ugliest.

It is god-awful. And I didn't even mention Columbia being in the middle!

This is the part of South Carolina that made me declare it the blandest state!

All I remember between Columbia and Charleston is "pine trees" and "straight road."

I'm bothered by people that think they'll lift PSU's bowl ban. Unless they do it, like, tomorrow, I don't think it's going to happen this season.

I assume they have to announce that kind of thing before the season starts.

Go tell that to all these people down here that love the Confederate flag and do the whole "The South will rise again" thing. They aren't celebrating people who lost a battle, they're celebrating losing an entire war.

I do make fun of them.

I drive by a statue of a Confederate soldier (which is facing south so his back is turned on the North) that says "They died in the consciousness of duty faithfully performed" on it. Until a few months ago, my town had a law that new north-south streets had to be named after Confederate generals. Then go read the lyrics to Virginia's semi-official state song and make this face :stare: Some people just don't know when they're beat.

Although I shouldn't talk. We challenged the British to a rematch over a War of 1812 incident.
