I should add, in the interest of full disclosure, that I hope Fisher does find some staying power and develop into a yearly rivalry.  Growing up a Gator fan, you learn that in-conference rivalries can be as fun as natural rivalries, like FSU or Cortland.  UF-Tennessee and Florida-Georgia are two of the best weekends every fall.  If Fisher can get past the 6 year wall, which is where other programs have seemed to fall back, this game could become an annual event.

morning boys - morning shift punchin in.
interesting reading from the night shift.

on to a diff subject perhaps?

Mr. N: You can't mean they've closed their doors forever? Yikes! Where will Pep go for a coffee and complimentary hot glazed donut when in Rachacha late evenings?

Pep,

There's one less than a mile from my house here, and the hot light is still on.  If you ever feel like making the trip out, I've got a guest bedroom...and fundraiser coupons for buy a dozen, get a dozen free.  I know it's a bit higher elevation than Alf, but I'm sure they taste just as good.


lumpy,

I'll be there this saterday too.

Interesting -- what teams have hit that wall? I haven't really studied that theory.

+k.

EDIT: Pat, out of curiosity, are you lurking on the E8 board this week because the conversation is interesting or, because you have your finger hovering over the shutdown button?

Jose, I think for the most part all trash talking will be out the window this week...because Ithaca just loss, and honestly I don't care enough to keep pointing out the fact that you lost to Hartwick

MIYH:

What's the elevation out there? Pep is interested in knowing whether Krispy Kreme needs to alter its recipe when making donuts at high altitudes. When Pep's in the kitchen preparing confections out of a box, he's always been curious about the instructions regarding high altitude. I.e. instructions on a Pillsbury Fudge Supreme Chocolate Chunk Premium Brownie Mix state: "HIGH ALTITUDE (ABOVE 3500 FEET): Add 1/3 cup flour to dry brownie mix and increase water to 1/4 cup. .." Does MIYH follow the "high altitude" suggested alterations when baking brownies? What happens if one doesn't?

Pep appreciates the kind invitation...if Pep goes into a Krispy Kreme fit, he may be booking a flight and knocking at MIYH's door.

While this post is (characteristically) off topic, Pep contends that it's being posted in the A.M., prime time for donuts. 

Incidentally, +K for the higher elevation!

Bring a blanket, if AU and SJFC make it past this week and can pass the rest of the season's tests, it could be a battle of unbeatens (OK, far fetched but one can dream).

Almost 5,400 feet.

I've only made brownies here once, and followed the regular recipe.  Maybe it came pre-altered for us here.

Pep,

Forget Denver.  Why not visit Dixie, Krispy Kreme's home turf.  Too bad that moron CEO tried to expand their brand nationally.  He nearly ran the company out of business.  (Apparently, not all yankees were as fond of the Kremes as you and Mr. N.).  If you are ever in Tampa on a Friday morning, come by my office, the firm puts out two dozen of those suckers for us every week and, if you get to a Tampa Krispy Kreme, you can get cuban coffee to wash down your donut, a combination so good it will make your tongue slap your brains out.

im busy alumni weekend that was why i was looking past the bport game.
i think it may end up being the AU game.
a real tester!

Q,

I wasn't trying to start a turf battle!  I feel like we're playing tug-a-war for Pep.  Seems a bit odd.  You gonna make it back for Cortaca?

Had the flight booked but, a conflict has arisen.  Seems like I am going to get shut out of Bomberland this year.

Are you going to make it back twice?  I am jealous.

Iceman did me a favor earlier this season so, I have promised to underwrite the Cortaca tailgate party.  I am going to send him a check about a week out and let him purchase some resources for the festivities.
