Today is my 60th birthday,

HBD, but why does my little Bday notification box not show it's your Bday today? Did you not want your own HBD thread in the lounge?

There IS an NFL game Sunday. Today is my 60th birthday, and my two adult sons are taking me to the Falcons vs Redskins on Sunday as my present.

While it's true that GA Dome crew has OFTEN "turned around" the Dome from college to pro overnight (Sat to Sunday), but to host TWO college games on that field in ONE day, and the added security, etc, I just don't see how the city of Atlanta was going to deal with that. I bet it was never even considered. Plus, FWIW, it's GA State's Homecoming, and they've got events planned before and after the game as well.

And remember, if those who are suggesting ATL because the USC fans could make it, well, I imagine most of their fans in SC (I'm sure they do have a lot in ATL metro area, but still . . . ) wouldn't be able to make it. They're still dealing with flooded houses and loss of everything, esp those that don't have flood insurance. Football is the last thing on their minds right now.

Happy Birthday SG

Schedule not set for next year yet, is it? Give USCe home games against LSU and Vandy next year if they have to move this year's games.

Stuff like this is why I never mind it if LSU beats us.

Jacques Doucet ‏@JacquesDoucet #LSU band is learning South Carolina Gamecocks' alma matter + fight song, plans to incorporate in pregame, per Roy M King. @WAFB

They don't play the Corndogs again until 2020.

Went to the UF / Vandy game in Nashville in '98 and for some reason our band didn't travel for that game.
So the Vandy band played their normal fight song to their version of the "West" stands - did an about face, marched over to the visitor's section and rocked the Gator fight song for us.
Very classy of them to do that.
I still mind if Vandy beats us.

This just reminded me....our band used to always "welcome" our opponents during the pre-game festivities by playing the opponents fight song, always thought it was cool. I wonder why they stopped.

I remember that as well, really funky when we were playing New Mexico or Akron for homecoming, you never hear their songs.
