maybe the mayor is a big billy joel fan?

 

[Buenos Necas]

Whaaat? Omg, what a let down! imabigbillyjoelfanandsecretlylovethis

 

[PaulProteus]

Cool. I like Billy Joel. Still doesn't require the mayor, but she's sort of right in the Billy Joel megafan demo wheelhouse.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Jameis Winston not charged. Pretty much what I expected. Duke, prepare to lose by 40.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

jameis winston not charged. Pretty much what i expected. Duke, prepare to lose by 60.

fify.

So, if FSU, tOSU and Mizzou all lose, the National Title game will be a rematch of Bama//Auburn.

Wouldn't that be incredible*

* - For some of us it'd be incredible, to everyone who doesn't speak with a drawl, it'd be the world's biggest troll face

 

[DaveG]

FSU ain't losing man, I even say this as someone that pulls for Duke football (mostly legit, part trololo)

 

[Guy]

Yeah, FSU ain't losing. OSU on the other hand might, depending on if MSU decides to show up.

 

[Unsustainable]

I'm pulling for MSU and Duke

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

To be fair, everyone was going on and on and on about FSU last year, then they went out and lost to the Pack. I give Duke a puncher's chance at least.

I mean, they're bad, but they're not *STATE* bad.

Has anyone done the canes college rush? Going to the game tomorrow and plan on using that promotion

 

[HisIceness]

Interesting the "big name" was Billy Joel who I know has performed at PNC before and has toured in recent years.

At least it wasn't Justin Bieber.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Not this year, but in years past. I think this year:

- $25 lower bowl, $15 upper bowl
- It applies for every game.
- you need a college ID
- It can only be done an hour before the game
- you must enter the arena immediately after buying the ticket.

It's a great deal regardless

 

[AntonFromAppState]

Do they run out of tickets?

 

[Unsustainable]

Damn I hate these ASPCA commercials even more after I had to put my dog down.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

[Anton Dubinchuk]

So not a great group for the US this summer.

Thought maybe we'd have something to be excited about with this team, but unless we can beat Portugal it looks like our World Cup will end pretty quickly...

jozy altidore needs to turn into the second coming of pele

You know what's scary?

He wanted to play in the NHl.

“I grew up in Wisconsin loving hockey. I mean, I started when I was three years old on skates. I played all over—in Canada all the time, all over the U.S., over in Germany for a 10-day tournament. Hockey, honestly, was my first love. The excitement, the fast pace, the intensity of the game … I still love it to this day. Really, I had to quit. It was financial. I have two younger brothers and we were all playing on a travel team, and it was extremely expensive. My family is a middle class family. When I grew up and learned how much it actually cost for us to play hockey, I could not believe that my parents let us play as long as they did.â€

Hockey is way too expensive and is one of the reasons it struggles to grow.

After five years, I finally had someone swear at me for wearing this jersey today.



After half a decade, my decision to troll more subtly than a Brett Hull jersey is finally justified

 

[Sasha Cares]

wow... ****ed by FIFA

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Hockey is way too expensive and is one of the reasons it struggles to grow.

I don't see any other solution than how hockey is currently run. You need equipment and ice time, and both are products that are bought and sold. It really *isn't* that expensive for the average player though.
