No. Just hyperbole. In fact, I don't think a college football team could beat a pro team inconsistently. If the Bears played Miami 10 games, I'd say the Bears win all 10. Miami would never score. NFL DBs/LBs are just too fast, even if they play for the Bears.

However, I think some of the really good college basketball teams of the past could beat the NBA's worst team every once in a while. Early '90s UNLV. Fab Five. Some UK teams.

Not Miami. I am amazed Coker is still working after that pathetic championship game last year. that team was twice as fast as OSU. I nearly smashed the televsion that night.

No, TM, I don't agree that any college teams today could beat a pro team. However, the Miami teams of the mid-late 80s under Jimmy Johnson could have made the NFL playoffs. And maybe that crazy Auburn team from a few years back that was unbeatable but was under the death penalty and couldn't go to a bowl.

Shit, I think I was in your little group. How great were mushrooms anyway? Can I get somea round here? I recall one time, myself and three grilfriends, who all had these bunting Patagonia overall things (smurf blue and the most comfy thing ever, I still have mine) decided to shroom together and walk around campus in these outfits. I remember doing some scientific experiments in the quad, in the hallway outside the library. Good times. We just dont have fun like that anymore.

and i remember liek twenty of us shrooming in someone's dorm room and being locked into this little room for like eight hours with these people. just laughed the entire time. My friend **and I came out and we sat at the little table in front of the dining hall (wheere they check IDs), next to each otherm, which struck me as being like the local news desk. We sat in front of the menu board and proceeded to do the local news (in the form of the specials on the menu) as people walked by. And nobody blinked. It was all very wink-wink,, we know you are dosed and we will be dosed soon, also. Chaka Bri

A little protected haven where you are surrounded by peole your own age, with nothing to lose, on a paid vaction from mum and dad, all just tripping. I had no idea how good I had it. I miss college.



**who just had her second kid and is a full time housewife. sigh.

Thanks for depressing me Paigow. This time of year I think back to long days of playing frisbee, listening to Allmans outdoors, drinking keg beer and tripping my face off. No bills, no responsibilities, no future concern, no appointments, no worries. There is nothing like fall at an eastern college. You start the day off watching early games and end it listening to a live band play "You Don't Love Me/Soul Seranade" in the basement of your fraternity house while everything is a huge glop of psychadelic colors. And during it all you try to pick up cute college girls. And when its over, you wake up, go take a steam, hit the gym, stop by at a few tailgating parties and do it again.

On the flip side, why did you ever quit shrooming? because you're older and more responsible? That's bullshit. You have to get back to the best place you've ever been from time to time. A little fungus gets me there -- reminds me who I really am... not this freak who's phoning it in in a dull gig strictly for the money.

Shrooms are still big. I buy them every single chance I see them. A few bottles of good champagne, a case of Amstel four or five good friends and a half ounce of mushrooms is still the best party going...

Like Jerry used to say, you have to eat a psychadelic at least a few times a year to "clean the pipes". Its a great form of therapy - reminds you to enjoy life a little more and realize just how insignificant your worries are in the greater scheme of things.

S(I'll eat em every chance I get until the day I die... best harmless party drug ever)D

Concur on all points. When are you coming down to DC again, or should I metroliner up for the hookup? I woudlnt trust the schwag down here anyway. probably glazed in crack.

I think tattooed meathead was Jason and I think they are broken up (based on blurb at end of show).

Michael (model?!) is the angry guy and he is also the madonna/whore guy. The blurb said that they have remained friends despite their angry breakup. Both are single.

Then three couple broke up and the boring bland people are the only ones who stayied together bc Anthony and Stephainei (both very goodlooking but I was getting seasick watching Anthony but he had a very intense sexy vibe) split up.

I also find I lose my filter on mushrooms; if I think you're an idiot, you'll hear about it.

Oh shit, you're right. Guess I had trouble keeping Anthony and Jason straight. Jason and his gf must have stayed together. I missed the first bonfire, which must have been Jason-whomever.

I think the recap on them said they were engaged.

You are like totally my SP!!! Yesterday I felt the first crispness in the air of the year and I ran for a pack of cigarettes. That crispness reminds me of going to Rocktoberfest at Groovy You Vee, wearing my biggest alpaca sweater, drinking beer all day, hitting crafts fairs, watching the boys play ultimate or lacrosse, and then afternoon parties on people's patios, drinking hot apple cider and rum/ or beer, depending on what was on the menu, in Burlington, shrooming late in the day and going to more parties All the while surrounded by the most beautiful boys and girls. No bleach, no makeup, no fake tits, just people as they are. To this day, my ultimate man has the shaggy hair and tall lean body of a lacrosse player. And if i see him in the right pair of faded levis with one of those new englandy sweaters, I just swoon. Fall is just so melancholy, huh, SD? Clearly we would have roadtripped and dosed and hung together in college. I ran six miles to the Grateful Dead (DP 15- slow They Love Eachother, Minglewood, and Half Steo just leave me with a palpable feeling of poignancy bc of the memories ) on Sunday as I felt the beginnings of autumn come on, bc that is where the season takes me, Today it is DP 18. cant wait

And I didnt STOP doing mushrooms bc I got older. As I once posted, my friends got older, I jsut keep staying the same age. But now I have noone to dose with. Sadly, the last time I tripped was at the SHoreline shows in 1995. Perhpas we should meet?

One has to understand that Soldier Field was the biggest shithole of a stadium before this renovation. Any bathroom break required missing almost an entire quarter. They actually had port-a-potties in the stadium to try and fix this problem (didn't work). Plus, the old stadium SMELLED like a port-a-potty.

But, I think most people are just happy they can pee and/or get a beer in 10 minutes. B/c you need to drink A LOT of beer to watch the Bears play.

You have obviously never been to Networks Associates aka Raider Nation. THAT IS the biggest shithole I've ever been in, and there are a lot of shitholes around.

Food? You want food? We got popcorn and tequila, hot dogs and tequila, bright orange death nachos and tequila, and pizza.
You wanna pee? Go before you get there because buddy, you ain't gonna wanna pee in this concrete bunker where the toilets don't really flush so there's pee all over the floors.
Speakers? Yeah, we got 2 of them! 2 whole speakers for the whole damn place. god forbid that you get tickets in the endzone - you'll never hear again.

WHich couple is engaged?

Here is what really depresses me. I think I had the "kill your television" bumper sticker on my car (alonside "US out of my uterus" and eight dead stickers_. Now I live for reality tv.

SD, its an emergency, get down here.

One of the ones that broke up got together again. The first couple who escaped -- she needed time apart -- are together again.

This TI was lacking a certain je ne sais quoi. Perhaps Waheed and Ytossie ought to come back. Or they need some couple to spazz out so much they have to leave the island. Or maybe they need to limit the number of tats on the men--it makes them seem too much like the type to hit on our cougar while answering a cell phone.

And YOU have obviously not been to the late Schaefer/Sullivan/Foxboro stadium, which has all of the worst parts of the former O-ACC, plus actual winter weather and thugier thugs than even the Black Hole.
