^ Hey, at least you're getting a new basketball arena. Yay?

It's tough to argue one fact. In the history of the BCS, regardless of how they actually got there, an SEC representative playing in the championship game has only lost once...to another SEC team. So, basically, they tend to always win the "out-of-conference" game that means the most....against teams from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and former Pac-10, respectfully. Sadly though, Miami hasn't won a damn thing since they entered the ACC. We were members of the Big East the last time we won.

^ Pretty much. Sad ain't it?

I'm okay with the green and "Grabber Blue" Mustangs. Those colors have history, and the current designs are "modern retro," so they make perfect sense. I'd prefer the green to be closer to the Lime Gold of '68, but it'll pass. The Camaros still look better anyway.

^ It makes it even worse when you have to listen to Buck and McCarver announce it. Shoot me.

Awesome work, guys! And yay for a Lou appearance!!

^ What, you're not a fan of the ghetto temporary steel scaffolding look? At least the colors are pleasing. That's all I got though.

I give it bonus points for the name alone.

^ ...or trying to enhance the thrill factor of Aquaduck.

Did either of your balls (hehe) jump the fence on this hole? I remember years back when we played here that three of the four of us had our ball take a funny bounce and jump that fence....almost like it was meant to happen. One ball was lost forever. Fun times.

^^ Well I'll be damned. I think those are my shots of BOAS. To have caught a rare image of that creature makes me feel like Abraham Zapruder or something. Yay me. Let's be honest though, they definitely rigged that thing to become a "cult classic." Twenty years from now, Adam will be taking 300 pictures of BOAS merchandise at a Disneyana Convention somewhere.

I'll comment when Google Translate finally figures this out.

And by "huge," you mean the best team in college football reminding their opponent that they're still just "the other Bulldogs" in the SEC, and just as marginal as the ones in Athens.....right?

Quote of the Year.

Holy crap, that lobster claw looks huge....and delicious! Awesome report, Joey. I'm SO sad we missed it this year....along with all you guys. If I had a dollar for every "21" post that day, I could've bought out the park and made it a private TPR F&W event.

Haha, yes! Disney, I hope you're reading this.

This is PERFECT for the park. I'm interested to see what they're new pricing will be though.

Doesn't this apply to most of the SEC though? It's really just about the tailgating for the perennial SEC pretenders....which is still pretty much acceptable to me.

Great report, guys! Even as a Disney fan, there's just something about DCL that doesn't "grab" me....and I really can't put a finger on it either. The ships look AMAZING, the food looks AMAZING, and I'm sure the service is AMAZING too, but I've just never been that interested in a Disney cruise...and we've even had several opportunities to sail at half price over the years. It's weird. I LOVE being surrounded by the overload of everything Disney while at WDW or any of their other resorts, but the idea of taking that atmosphere offshore just never really appealed to me. Then again, I'm just strange like that. Without question though, the Animator's Palate, stateroom screen "portholes," and several other unique touches looked very impressive. You mentioned you were surprised they hadn't brought that restaurant experience to any of the parks yet, but I'd have to say that it's kind of cool that they haven't. In fact, having it unique to the ship is one of the bigger selling points that would maybe win me over one day. And I'd still like to know what you paid for KT on the black market? With her loving the beach, I'm convinced that's not Alvey blood. Oh, and it's a scorpion.

They probably wouldn't bother, because the dbag driving it probably hasn't even redlined it once.

He's had one good postseason. One. I judge him based on that.

More great aerial photos of the New Fantasyland area, as well as what's going on at the old Skyway location.

^ Agreed. The 20K reference is well done. That's a shame. I appreciate a nice soft opening.

I can't blame 'em for holding onto the location. I'm not completely sold on "retail" ever flourishing in that spot, but when Boomers is finally leveled (which it will eventually be), there's plenty of land to be developed. It'd make a nice spot for a new Cowabunga Bay.

^ Agreed. I have Atlanta imploding at some point. Good team, not great. ^^ I actually think the Giants really are that good. I can't name another team that can pick and choose which game to show up for....and simply get the job done. They've seriously perfected the art of cruise control until the traffic picks up. Then they put it in gear and go. It really is pretty impressive, and to me, it's all because of that D-line. As long as they stay healthy, I can't find much of a reason to bet against 'em again this year. Seattle v. San Fran should be fun though.
