You Want A Game Day Pre-Party? Check Out Who's Coming.

PrintWe all know (whether some of us want to admit it or not) that the greatest thing to ever come out of Sweden is the band ABBA.
But today we have a chance to top ABBA's contribution to the States in one important way: The Blues could win again and take four points from the Wings and plenty of pride and condescension from all of their greasy, unknowledgeable, unfunny fans.
That, and only that, would be better than ABBA.
So, this is your tailgate/pre-party thread to get ready for the game at 2 Central (on FSN-Midwest; though beware, it's a split broadcast today, meaning that FSN-Detroit has a guy in the booth and will be handling the pre-game and post-game duties. Not just Fuck Detroit today, Fuck FSN today too. Right in the earhole, as a certain reader from Detroit is fond of telling us.).
We'll have a GDT open early for you to migrate to, but for now we give you a little bit of greatness courtesy of Mr. Particle (the genius who also gave us Marilyn Monroe McKee).
Yes, apparently those assholes from Detroit are "going Sweden" as hard as anyone.

I was just thinking the same thing.
Big 10 sucks.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Jim Tressel scoffs at your Big Ten hate.
Also, presumably he scoffs at things like this.
Fuck Jim Tressel.
/bitter Illini fan
One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.
Well done.
I’m watching this Clemson-Maryland slugfest on EspnU.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
3-0 right now
Clemson just hit a 41 yard field goal.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Perfect
I’d say Big 10 sports in general qualify.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Don't you get the SEC Channel down there or something?
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
I figured you'd get Bama-Kentucky or something
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Threading fail.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Yeah, the schedule makers were a bit harsh on the Wildcats
They get fla, Bama, @USC and @Auburn in successive weeks.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Mizzou bye weeks suck
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
You are correct. Actually, three straight non-Saturdays...
Won last Friday vs Nevada, bye this week, then Thursday vs Nubs.
I can’t remember going this long without having a Mizzou game in-season.
Good point
But at least there was something to talk about.
What do you think our odds of beating the Nubs are on Thursday?
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
We are favored by one right now.
Nebraska fans aren’t coming down in droves this year. They looked piss poor against the one decent team they played this year, and smoked three horrid Sun Belt teams. Zac Lee is a terrible QB. If we can stop Roy Helu, it won’t even be close. Nebraska’s passing D isn’t good, and Blaine Gabbert is the best QB they’ve seen. Uh oh.
I think we win by 10 personally. Hard to believe Nebraska hasn’t won in CoMo since 2001.
You pretty much summed up my thoughts on it as well.
Their pass D looked awful against a horrible QB in Tyrod Taylor. Estimates are only about 5k max for the Huskers. The place is going to be insane.
I am worried about stopping Helu, but knowing that they shouldn’t beat us with Zac Lee’s arm, I think we should be able to slow him down.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Helu is a good RB. I'll give them that.
He won’t beat us alone. Nebraska’s WRs are so terrible. Their D is suspect beyond Suh at DT.
I feel like it’s just a matter of time before the Smiths and Coulter have a break out game. Aldon Smith is going to be a star.
Might as well make it the Nub game.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
I have my doubts he will finish 4yrs at Mizzou.
I thought Smith and Coulter were better than Sulak and Chavis last year. Hell, Jacquies and Coulter at least played harder. They were always around the ball.
Will Ebner is another stud at LB.
If he should forego some eligibilty
it will be Sheldon Richardson time, so I guess that wouldn’t be too terrible. I loved Stryker, but he was just a speed rusher and that was it. Plus he was small.
You’re right on Ebner, he’s everything you want in a LB
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
I was at the Texas game in '05...
Vince Young torched us, but Chase Coffman and Stryker went OFF. Chase had a TD pass too after Brad got hammered. It was the week after he saved us in the ISU game in Ames in his debut (Brad Smith was injured again).
God, if I only knew what I was watching at the time.
I was there too,
I remember being proud that we put up 24 points or whatever it was on UT.
Chase Coffman will probably go down as my all-time favorite player.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
And now you're touched on my least favorite Mizzou player
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Switching sports but
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
You sir,
are a true Mizzou fan.
My hat is off to you.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Best part...
I bought up BlaineGabbertForHeisman.com, being afraid some asshole would do the same thing I did to Reesing’s page.
BG’s: $11
Reesing’s: $8
That's brilliant
Nice blog, by the way, I looked around a bit last night.

No No my friend
I can assure you not ALL women from Nebraska look like that…
Some of us look like this:

I said 'most'! Includes my girlfriend as well (from Bellevue).
There used to be Blues fans all the time at Ameristar, you know, when I’d head over that way.
Speaking of fantasy teams...
Anyone hear if it’s Mason or Conkblock today? All 5 of my fantasy teams depend upon it, as does the Thrashers’ web guy’s, because I think that he drafted Conk too.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
No idea
I was wondering the same thing earlier.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Damn.
You’d think that they’d at least post them 2 hrs before game time, if they know, like they do with baseball.
I have to do an emergency re-set of my teams if it’s Conk.

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
I'd be surprised.
Murray plays his goalies on back to back nights a lot. Crap, he played Legace back to back right when he came back from a concussion.
Now Detroit, well, I wouldn’t be shocked if we saw Howard, since Osgood was sick yesterday, though I’m sure that any instances of him barfing in his hotel room were probably caused by us.

no problem!
Well, actually it’s a bit of a problem for me, since, unless 20 Cent puts a hit on Vokoun, I’m assuming none of my goalies will be seeing any action this week, so there’s an automatic 2-4 points for you!… ah well…
Apparently I need it...
This is the most blech start I’ve gotten off to in fantasy hockey ever. I know we’re only 2 days in, but good lord.
At least I’m kicking my dad’s ass in our head-to-head league. He deserves it.

Goal for the cabbie lover.
2-0 hawks

Not a Kane fan...
… but him scoring and Vokoun losing helps one of my teams out immensely. I’ll deal.

Has hockey really been on Versus for 5 years?
That’s just sort of depressing.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Five years...
… of Christine Simpsons boobs and Brian Engblom’s hair.
There needs to be some PR surrounding this, stat.

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
I have debated the question...
Christine Simpson is more Holly Rowe, yet there’s no way I’d touch Holly Rowe. Give me a beer or two, and I would do dirty things to Christine.
I guess that’s where the line has been drawn.
I would not say the same for Engblom.
Unless doing dirty things to him is taking him to Great Clips.

Is there a place where Blues fans meet up in near the arena before todays game? I unexplicably got the night of.

It was mentioned on the site somewhere yesterday
But for the life of me I can’t find it. Sorry :(
Alright, off to start my main activity for the day: drinking.
Tailgating at Neyland, then to the game tonight. Go Blues, and I’ll watch the DVR.
Enjoy yourself
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Sweater of choice.
The (no name) third jersey won it for me yesterday. Who do you say I go with today?
-Clown Suit Hull
-MaCinnis (with the C)
-Jackman
-Tkachuk
-Weight
-Or do I keep the streak alive with the third again?
The only time I lost wearing Al Mac’s number was the final playoff game last year.

I went with the Blues T-shirt yesterday
but then I went to see Zombieland and don’t feel like wearing the shirt that I wore to the theater. I have quite a situation.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
I'm wearing the T-shirt & sweatshirt from yesterday too...
How was Zombieland? I want to see it!!

Absolutely hilarious.
I would go see it again, I think.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
fantastic!
I was hoping it would be good, and they didn’t show all the good parts in the trailers.
Might need to smuggle in some alcohol to make it even better

They definitely didnt
The whole theater was applauding at certain points, it was great.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Dug out my lucky pre-clown jersey...
… the one with that still inexplicable hint of red. Just enough to make you wonder why, but not horribly distracting.
Between this and my lucky Kovalchuk Army shirt, today might be a decent day for my teams. Maybe. Because my wardrobe DICTATES THE OUTCOME OF THE UNIVERSE! Muhahahahahahahha.

I'm wearing my Oshie jersey for the first time.
We’re both kind of nervous, kind of awkward, but if I just think of baseball, it should last a while.
Well...
I guess that’d be more fun than lying back and thinking of England.

IF I was to wear one today...
It’’ll probably be my Walt jersey…(but thats out of desperation. We’ll start with what I wore for the win yesterday)
I’ve never had good luck with the Oshie 3rd Jersey we got last year…
This year’s investment: I want a Backes Jersey

I thought I was doing well to have two jerseys.
I have a Tkachuk white and nameless home.
I guess I need to step it up.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Two suggestions
One, ebay. You can find older replicas for under $30.
Two, Christmas. Let your loved ones (and Santa Claus) get your jerseys.
Well,
mine are kind of community jerseys between myself and the fiance.
Before he got me the Walt jersey for X-mas the first year we were together, I wore his white MacInnis jersey…thats always our fall back for saving games from the clutches of evil
For rec hockey league this winter I’ll either wind up wearing 42 or 7. It’s been 7 the last two seasons, but maybe the awesomeness of the 42 will help me out

4-0 hawks
I’m turning it off.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
Did you guys hear....
They can’t drink beer INSIDE the arena where the Blackhawks & Panthers are playing?
Sucks to be those assholes!! Whats the point of being AT a hockey game without a beer in hand at all times??
Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!
I didn't figure
Scandinavians would be so stingy about the beer.
I am The One Who Shall Remain Avatar-less.
I guess thats why
the entire arena looks empty between periods because everyone runs outside to drink beer. LOL

Wait... wait...
WHAT?
If I were a Florida fan, I’d need a beer by now. Vokoun’s laying an egg. Good to see he’s all bi-polar again this season.

Barf
Chicago wins. Panthers looked like ass the ENTIRE game

Well, at least we know FL's gonna blow.
I wouldn’t be too shocked that, if Vokoun keeps doing whatever weird on-again/off again crap he always does, the Panthers wind up in last place in the SE. Seriously. Tampa has way more firepower than they do.

The keg has been delivered to the Game Day Thread. Get a red cup and go there.
