American Airlines will just allow anyone on an aircraft these days I guess.

I had to fly from Columbus to Dallas for a very important business meeting.  My company bought the plane ticket.

What's with all these young whipper snappers walking around the airport as if they own the place?  They walk around with their iPod earbuds in and yapping on their cell phones about this "Rad night" they had last night all the while not even paying attention to the fact they're blocking walkways!

Anyways, I get to the gate to board the plane and I'm boarding really early because I want to make sure I get a carry on luggage rack near myself.  Although, of course you have the people that get there late and wander around looking for a spot for their oversized luggage that they probably shouldn't have been allowed to carry on in the first place.  There was one your rich brat that stood out in particular that walked around clanking his large backpack into seats left and right looking for a spot for his huge backpack.

The punk finally goes back to his row and wouldn't you know it, he's sitting right behind me!  Now I'm going to have to put up with this brat kicking my seat all flight.  He then goes to sit down and nearly punches me in the back of the head trying to get into his seat.  That was the last straw!

I shine up my bald spot really well hoping there will be a nice glare coming off it from the open window and then lean my seat back as far as it would go.  I then stretch back nearly smacking him in the face as I stretch my arms above my head.  That'll show him I bet.

Anyways, later in the flight this loser gets up from his seat.  I nearly thought he was a hijacker how long he stood.  I then notice the cart in front of him blocking his path, but the idiot starts spouting off nonsence such as "RESPECT MY AUTHORITIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" and other stupid things.  He then dropkicks the cart out of the way and says "I went to Highland Park and I'm better than you, get out of my way!"

That was the last straw.  Myself and a couple other passengers got up and made sure he couldn't get out of the restroom the rest of the trip due to his rudeness.  We nearly left him though.

Oh well, I just wish the young people of today had more respect for people and the companies they serve.

Not a lot of huge games on tap today.  Biggest ones seem to be:

Oregon St @ (19) Penn St - Paterno had to suspend a few more players, can Oregon St bounce back from their loss to Stanford last week?

Ole Miss @ (20) Wake - Jevon Snead walks in to try to take out Wake who is looking like a favorite in the weak ACC.

Cincy @ (4) Oklahoma - Oklahoma should take care of business if they come to play, but Cincy will be up for this game.

(8) West Virginia @ East Carolina - Can they pull off the upset yet again, WVa is looking somewhat vulnerable.

Miami @ (5) Florida - Miami has been down for a few years, can they open up this year with a win at in-state rival Florida?

Stanford @ (15) Az State - Stanford beat Oregon St last week who many had picked to do good things this year preseason, can they jump out and beat Az State this week?

(15) BYU @ Washington - BYU should take this one, however recent years they've seemed to slip up in an obviously winnable non-conference game.  Can they go up to Washington and take this one to further their season?

My picks: Penn St, Wake, Oklahoma, East Carolina, Florida, Az State, BYU.

As for me today, it's TCU's first home game (Despite against I-AA Stephen F. Austin) so kicking the season off right by going to the Rahr & Sons brewery around 1, then tailgate, then be in the game in time for the 6:00 kickoff.

I tried looking at the Rangers website but they do not seem to have any information pertaining to the park and ride (I can imagine why given that it's free and they don't make the $12 a car off it).

Anyways, I was wondering what the basics of it are since I've never used it, but have considered it to avoid the $12 charge if I ever decided to go to a game on a day I may not be able to find someone else to tag along.

Where's the lots that you go to meet the bus and all that jazz and when do the buses start running and how long post game are they running?

Any help would be great, and I'm sure tehre's others out there that it could benefit that maybe didn't even know of the option.

Tonight is as close to a must win game as you can get in my opinion.  Go down 3-0 in the series and you've got a mountain to climb.  Win tonight and you bring the series within 1 game.  Ideally, Stars probably need to win both game 3 and 4, but let's focus on game 3 for now.

No word yet on whether Lehtinen will suit up, it seems that if he doesn't Chris Conner joins the lineup.  Hopefully Lehtinen is in there.  Seems that Barnes will still be out for the Stars and Franzen will be out for the Wings.

Overall, the Stars looked a lot better in game 2, but couldn't get their shots on net.  Hopefully tonight they go on net.

GOOOOOOOO STARS!  We need this one tonight.

Liverpool goes down 1-0 early on a goal off a corner kick.  Losing to a non-league team at the moment.  What say ye scousers?

Rafa is looking a bit perturbed at the moment.

Hey all, just wanted to post here since I know there's quite a few Stars fans here.  I'm starting up a Stars blog over at wordpress, and hope to eventually move it over here (Although they require a bit of writing first from what I gather).

I've got the first post up about the new team uniforms released today, and over the coming days will be taking a look at how the roster is shaping up with a look at each position.

It'd be great if anyone interested would check it out, leave any suggestions (The layout will have to be something that waits a bit since you have to pick from their layouts, but this one fits the Stars colors at least) as well as any comments about the posts themselves.  Any links to the blog would be appreciated as well and will link back as well, already posted a LSB link.

Hey, not sure what we have for Blackburn or Everton supporters here, but I know Hypoluxa is also a Blackburn supporter like I am.  I also saw hinduplaya say he was an Everton fan.

Anyways, I think hypoluxa and I decided we were going to meet up this weekend at Fox and Hound in Arlington (Just a little northwest of the I30/360 interchange, just off Collins St) and wanted to invite any other Blackburn or Everton supporters, or anyone else who would want to come watch a match.

Game is 11am.
Fox and Hound address is 1001 N.E. Green Oaks Blvd.

It should be fun, I'll be there in my Blackburn jersey

Who here still does hattrick?  I just re-joined and got a team.  Down in V.94 of USA.  Definitely have some work to do on my team.

Is there still a group to join of Ranger boardies?
