Today's college football thread
Wake Forest is playing Navy.

Which school would you rather see lose?

The alma mater of John McCain or the alma mater of Jesse Helms?

2. The game's in DC, I suspect mass transit will be the preferred way to get to the game
You'd have to be crazy to subject yourself to DC traffic, in a car or on a bike.

3. I would never cheer for a team based on anything to do with politics
I really don't care who wins this one.

10. You can't get into Wake unless your house looks like this
Unless of course you're one of the many people there on some sort of financial aid.

Honestly, I've known a lot of people that went to Wake that weren't particularly wealthy.

11. The kids I knew that went there were pretty wealthy.

It might be perspective. I was a navy kid in Norfolk/VaBeach.

That looks like Newport, RI. I lived there too.
