How did you determine the game of the week? I wasn't expecting to be in it. I can't believe I forgot to make picks last week. I could have sworn I did it. Oh well, "I" won. THURSDAY Utah at TCU FRIDAY Houston at UTEP SATURDAY Oregon State at Louisville West Virginia at Maryland Mississippi at Vanderbilt Wyoming at Air Force Michigan State at Notre Dame Oklahoma at UCLA Alabama at South Carolina Miami of Ohio at Kent State Akron at Middle Tennessee State Wisconsin at North Carolina Tulsa at North Texas Fresno State at Oregon Florida State at Boston College Tennessee at Florida Miami at Clemson Mississippi State at Tulane Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the Houston/UTEP game? 42 Tiebreak #2: How many rushing yards will Utah's Quinton Ganther have against TCU? 132

Although other places such as Gamerush do not, GameCrazy usually calls you regarding pre-orders.

I hear "Wax Ecstatic" on DirecTV's alternative station quite often. I love that song. I'm a big fan of 90's alternative rock in general. Also, my favorite Spice Girls were Emma and Mel B (I think it was mel B... The black one). And oh my sweet Jesus, Emma is hotter than ever now. Speaking of Everclear, Milky... you make me feel like a whore.

I'm not getting into a long-ass argument about this like I did in the older Ashlee threads, but she most certainly can sing live. The Orange Bowl and SNL were two isolated, yet unfortunately nationally publicized incidents. Ignorant Ashlee bashers and other people who just don't like her or even that type of music cite those as examples to prove how "horrible" she is. I've seen at least a dozen of her live performances, and she is more than competent. I'm not saying she has a great voice, but she sounds about as good as she does on the record.

Thanks. I've been waiting for these. Aside from Jordan/Benoit, these are all matches I want to see. I can see them doing the title change back to MNM here. That needs to happen, even though I like Heidenreich and Animal in small doses.

I've been growing impatient waiting for "This Thread Is Ghey"... Although it is quite refreshing to see that a discussion can be had about this stuff by a group mostly consisting of heterosexual males and everyone's so open.

The Lion King was the best, and still holds up to this day. I once watched El Rey Leon, the Spanish version, in my sophomore Spanish class while stoned. Thatw as quite the experience.

Haha, yeah. I mention deals I found out about at CAG or the Xbox Live leagues I'm in quite often. I had planned on posting this deal sooner, but it just slipped my mind.

I've played 3 games so far, and I love it. Well worth the $20, and that's coming from someone who knows jack shit about hockey. The only negative was when I tried playing online, the lag was unbearable, and I know my connection was fine because Halo 2 and Madden ran smoothly. Now I'm 0-1 after the drop, though.

I've never been much of a hockey fan, although I loved older games such as NHL '94, NHL '97, NHL Breakaway '98, Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98, etc. However, the labor dispute has actually caused me to pay attention to the sport, and I plan to watch this upcoming season. So really, others will have more to add here, but I felt that we needed a topic to discuss EA Sports' NHL '06 and 2K Sports' NHL 2K6 (and that Wayne Gretzky NHL game for PS2, I guess...), both of which were released on September 6th for PS2 and Xbox. An Xbox 360 release of 2K6 is scheduled for November. I've heard that 2K6 is not as good as in previous years, and that NHL is improved. I'm considering picking up 2K6 for league play, as it is only $20 and I like 2K Sports (NHL '06 is $30) but I want some opinions first.

I've always assumed that CanadianChick is very pretty in that girl-next-door sort of way. And I think you scared Lushus away with that post, heh.

You really expected better from a guy who proudly posts pics of things like him posing with cigarettes, booze and rubbers? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now there's a guy who gets it. I just never liked Radiohead. Czech sent me several of their songs, I didn't like a single one. As far as I'm concerned, they're horrible.

Pretty good. I got to wrestle on two OVW shows, (OVW house show kinda things, not the OVW TV show). Mike Mondo is a really cool trainer and nice guy. I also met a girl I fell in love with, she's 16, and we're getting married when she's 18. Her older sister is Eugene's (Nick Dinsmore's) ex-girlfriend, and they're still really close. I'll be returning to Kentucky in December. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congratulations! Sounds like you had a good time. I was curious as to how the training went because I have trained in the past and hope to start again when I gain some muslce (at 125 pounds, even hitting the ropes hurts). We actually have a fair amount of people here who have trained... Apparently, Franchise has, along with Hollywood Spike Jenkins, Scroby, and, eh... someone else. JST is a referee in a Canadian fed.

Boredom.

I am the type of guy who has never had any desire to do anything sexual with a man, yet I can and will freely admit if a guy is attractive. Milky, you are one sexy motherfucker.

Sorry, I have no idea about the PS2 downloads. I'll ask on the GameFAQs NHL 2K6 board now and post here when I receive an answer. Anyway, I finally got the game last night. I went to the Riverside, CA, Best Buy and didn't see it on the shelf. I asked a girl working there about the game, and she spouted off some crap about how "someone else bought the license and they aren't making 2K games anymore." She was still very nice (and pretty attractive) so I explained the whole EA/2K deal to her and said that NHL 2K6 was indeed released. I then saw a copy of the PS2 version and showed it to her. She asked a guy there about the Xbox version. He was like, "Yeah, we have plenty, but we can't sell them til Thursday." But she winked at me and was like, "You've gone through enough trouble and you've been extremely nice, so I'll grab you one from the back." So now that I have a copy, and I'm going to officially join the Cheap Ass Gamer league and probably play a game before work. If anyone wants to get in a agme on Xbox Live, my Gamertag is MattYoung.

I don't know the name, but I believe it's performed by Saliva.

At any rate, my 2 copies of Mario 64 were stolena long with my other N64 games, but I just purchased Mario 64 DS from a guy on Cheap Ass Gamer for $17. I'm also trying to buy SMB Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 from a guy on here, although I have the NES version already. I went to the Best Buy in Riverside, California, last night. It is one of a handful of BB's to sell used games. They had only maybe 25 titles, none of interest, except for one- WWF Raw for the Sega Genesis. I love that game but had never owned it. I had satisfied my 16 bit rasslin' fix by playing Royal Rumble on my Genesis. Needless to say, I picked up Raw for that price, complete with case and manual.

I read about this sale at CheapAssGamer days ago. I went to the BB in Riverside, California, last night after work. They had nothing from the list for GBA, GameCube, or Xbox that I wanted, except Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls, which I managed to snag for $10.

That sucks. I'm not registered at the board, but I enjoyed reading it on occasion.

Radiohead has very little actual talent. They've recorded maybe 3 decent songs in their entire existence.

Nope, not really.

Fixed.

Milky is one of the only males who could pull off that britney shirt.

I was talking about it as a real-life thing, how it might be cool. Kotz told me to post it here, so obviously he has something in mind that will make this come off a lot better than it sounded when I wrote it.
