Anyone Watching Football? Having an Adult Beverage?
Temple vs #5 Cincinnati 7 PM
Charlotte vs FIU 7 PM
Morgan State vs HOward 8:15 PM
Stanford vs ASU 10:30 PM
I spent 4 years in Cincy studying at the Conservatory of Music. Stayed another 4 years after that - great town! In fact it was barely Ohio, which was nice.
It's amazing seeing Nippert full of fans. I was never able to witness that in the late 90's.
Enjoy some football and evening libations, all!
October 8th, 2021 at 7:33 PM ^
We also have Temple / Cincinnati on here.
Unfortunately, my days of adult beverages are over for reasons I've shared here before (with a super bonus discussion on Twitter a few months ago). There are fake adult beverages fortunately, as well as Diet Coke.

Athletic brewing is making great NA beers and they just opened up a new brewery in San Diego. I think they started in Jersey. Recommend them very much.
October 8th, 2021 at 7:41 PM ^
Nothing wrong with that! Cincy looking rusty, until the Temple miscue on the punt return. It looks like a curb-stomping about to happen.
October 8th, 2021 at 7:40 PM ^
Damn, I was about to start this damn thread. It's about time. I'm sitting sober in my "East Lansing is a Women of Negotiable Affection" t-shirt about to pick up some IPAs. It's time to fucking drink!
October 8th, 2021 at 7:44 PM ^
In the latest Ubran thread to be deleted, I was about to ask someone to add an evening game post. I am normally too lazy to do this... what is your IPA du jour?
October 8th, 2021 at 9:13 PM ^
Having a Cold IPA by Wayfinder. I have Fremont fresh hops, Humble Sea, North Park Brewing, Beachwood, and Kern River coming up.
October 8th, 2021 at 9:23 PM ^
That’s quite a spread!
October 8th, 2021 at 7:43 PM ^
Don’t mind if I do.
October 8th, 2021 at 7:45 PM ^
I'll be watching both Cinci/Temple and Stanford/ASU.
Enjoying a few Modelos with lime tonight.
October 8th, 2021 at 7:47 PM ^
I recently found Sam Adams, Cherry Wheat. Made with Michigan Cherries, fortunately a year round beer. I can't get enough.
October 8th, 2021 at 10:12 PM ^
Made with actual cherries? The last time I had a Sam Adams beer with cherry they used artificial flavoring and it had a bit too much of that cough syrup aftertaste. Otherwise a decent beer, though. (Disclaimer: my body starts to attack itself when I eat gluten, so I haven't had real beer in almost a decade at this point.)
I lived in Cincinnati briefly, I still have some friends there and I enjoy visiting. It's much better than Columbus, which has grown a lot over the last thirty years or so. Unfortunately I spend much more time in Columbus because it's on the way to my mother-in-law.
October 9th, 2021 at 10:57 AM ^
Bummer on the non-beer front!
they’ve got it dialed in on the flavor. Says they are using Michigan Cherries - no cough syrup flavor. Highly recommended to those who are drinking beer! (Sorry…)
October 8th, 2021 at 7:46 PM ^
Just finished eating dinner and poured a dram of Knob Creek Single Barrel Select. Cheers to all of my fellow MGobloggers ???
October 8th, 2021 at 8:27 PM ^
How exactly does one pour 1/8 of a fluid ounce?
October 8th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
I’m drinking a bourbon outside and can pour +/- a quarter cup at a time. Getting ready to head in, get a cube of ice, pour more, and watch baseball. Only a few more weeks left for my favorite sport.
October 9th, 2021 at 12:38 AM ^
With a children's syringe?
In Scotland, one dram is 25ml or approximately one ounce. It's "a shot".
October 9th, 2021 at 12:50 AM ^
Um, I don’t think that word means what you think it means
October 8th, 2021 at 7:47 PM ^
Enjoying a Jackie O's Bourbon Barrel Aged Black Maple now listening to some Ween after an afternoon of doing a mock voir dire for an upcoming trial. Voir dire is by far the most difficult part of trial (for me at least) and I'm glad I have that part of this trial pretty nailed down ~1.5 months out from trial. Go blue and beat the Cornhuskers!
October 8th, 2021 at 8:31 PM ^
What's your favorite Ween album and why is it 'Quebec'?
October 8th, 2021 at 8:40 PM ^
Quebec is, in fact, my favorite Ween album. Why? Because Zoloft, Transdermal Celebration, Happy Colored Marbles, and Captain along with the rest of the album.
1. Quebec
2. Chocolate and Cheese
3. White Pepper
4. The Mollusk
5. Pure Guava
October 8th, 2021 at 9:43 PM ^
I just read your sentence about “Voir dire” about 10 times while hearing Joe Pesci in my head
October 8th, 2021 at 9:47 PM ^
Haha great movie. It's, surprisingly, one of the more accurate law/trial movies out there.
October 8th, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
I'm flipping back and forth between the Rays v Sox game and the UC Temple game.
So in about 5 years after Fickle is coaching somewhere else, we're gonna find out that UC was paying these players and all these wins are going to have to be vacated?
I refuse to believe that he is that good of a coach
October 8th, 2021 at 8:33 PM ^
Alternatively, one could argue that Cincinnati is an easy place to win at to begin with and even a slightly above average coach can take that program to a surprising level.
October 8th, 2021 at 9:28 PM ^
Senator Tuberville nods in agreement.
October 8th, 2021 at 10:24 PM ^
Cincinnati is a good stepping stone for ambitious coaches. They've scheduled games against P5 opponents (both Michigan and Ohio State recently, along with a good chunk of the B1G over the last twenty years), but at the same time their conference schedule is weak enough that if they have a half-way decent team they can win a lot of games.
They've managed to move a number of coaches onto bigger and better things in recent years. Some of them have been successful (Mark Dantonio and Brian Kelly) and others not so much (Butch Jones).
(Hotel Putingrad brought up Tommy Tuberville, who was definitely an exception to the up-and-coming coaches they've been hiring. Tuberville managed nine wins his first two years and four wins his last two.)
October 8th, 2021 at 7:59 PM ^
I’ve had a couple shots of Fireball while watching the Cincinnati game.
October 8th, 2021 at 8:01 PM ^
Got Cincy/Temple on as a visual thing. The real action: listening to Propellerheads and enjoying some Long Trails (Vermont's finest). About to chew on part of a huge mushroom cap and catch a friend's jazz combo in town.
October 8th, 2021 at 8:11 PM ^
Living the good life

October 8th, 2021 at 11:46 PM ^
Worked as a park ranger for a little bit on the E side of Mt Mansfield about 10 years ago and loved me some Long Trail brews. Double Bag is a favorite but my fav VT beer was Switchback Ale.
Cheers
October 9th, 2021 at 12:01 AM ^
Oh, hell yeah. I LOVE Switchback. Had a couple of those at the spot I was at.
October 8th, 2021 at 8:20 PM ^
I know they are now up 17-3 but Cinci sure doesn't look too great in this game. That muffed punt was useful for them.
Welp: Stopped watching after that returned opening kick of second half and looks like not exactly struggling. Definitely a good defense.
October 8th, 2021 at 8:25 PM ^
Not watching football, but the wife and I are on our third bottle of wine. Good thing it’s a late game to rrow
October 8th, 2021 at 10:21 PM ^
Looks like the wine is impacting your typing!
Chhers ?!
October 8th, 2021 at 8:46 PM ^
Watching the Red Sox here in Boston with some Laguintas IPAs. Oh boy, tie game as I type this!
October 8th, 2021 at 9:05 PM ^
I currently live in Rome, Georgia. We have a minor league affiliate in town, which totally got me back into baseball.
On a Delta flight in recently watched, “Long Gone, Summer”. McGwire and Sosa’s HR tilt chronicled in a super inspiring documentary. Highly recommend it.
Also, love laguinitas. Good choice.
October 9th, 2021 at 5:57 AM ^
Hey, Mr. or Ms. Thor. {May I call you Hammer?) I’ve been to Rome, Georgia, spent a few great days there!
October 9th, 2021 at 10:27 AM ^
haha! Curious what brought you here? It's a destination, for sure. We've lived here about year now. Love the slower pace of life.
October 9th, 2021 at 11:13 AM ^
October 8th, 2021 at 8:50 PM ^
No. Yes.
October 8th, 2021 at 9:01 PM ^
I appreciate your succinct response. ?
October 8th, 2021 at 9:08 PM ^
Finishing my last two Oberon. Watching Black Widow with my daughter in a minute.
October 8th, 2021 at 10:17 PM ^
Oberon
yummmmmm!
October 8th, 2021 at 9:26 PM ^
Forgot about D’wan Mathis playing for Temple
October 8th, 2021 at 9:31 PM ^
Drinking some Spanish red from 2011 and watching the Squid Game.
October 8th, 2021 at 9:49 PM ^
Just started this as well. Very good.
October 8th, 2021 at 9:37 PM ^
Drinking All Day IPA and as a Temple alum watching this team will compel me to drink several...
How I miss you Al Golden, Matt Rhule at 10th and Diamond. Not you, Steve Addazio.

was looking at tomorrow's CFB line-up. interested to see if rutgers can give sparty trouble, sparty being a 4.5 pt favorite. PSU v. iowa should be good. but i just noticed that the michigan v. nebraska line went down us being to 2.5 pt favorites. i get that nebraska deserves more respect than their record indicates, but us being only a 2.5 pt favorite seems like a very slim margin.
October 8th, 2021 at 9:55 PM ^
I’ll be checking out PAC 12 after dark
