    I'd really love to hear a general breakdown of the Wazzu/Washington relationship. I've always read about how it's cultural between the Cascade divide and all that, but I've never read much from actual fans about it.

    Are there a bunch of them on the Coast? Are there many Washington people in Eastern Washington?

    All I know is Mike Price had no issues in Pullman and within about a week everyone in Alabama knew he was creating on sorority girls at bars on campus. I'm guessing he didn't suddenly develop that behavior on the red eye flight over. So, they must be pretty damndd isolated. And ignored.

    Some schools call their rivals a backup option for the sake of putting them down, but in this case it really is true that the one thing all the students at UW and WSU have in common is that they applied to UW. (see uwrejects.com) When boomers went to college the academic stature was more comparable but UW really took off and has been hands down a superior option for everything the two schools offer in common for decades now. This gathers failures and rare late bloomers from across the state and assembles them in Pullman. There are other state schools, like Western Washington U, which are a step down from UW academically, but can still offer you a full university experience without having to go to WSU, so this futher funnels a special type of retard to Pullman.

    Spokane is a decent sized city but outside of that there is not a lot going on east of the cascades so a lot of coogs move back west (accordingly you find relatively few Huskies in Eastern Washington). WSU has tried playing football games in Seattle before to make it easier for their fans to attend games. They have a hard time filling their 35,000 capacity stadium on campus. The real passion for coogs is not any successes they achieve, which are few and far between, but rather Husky failures. They live to try and upset us in the Apple Cup. That is their one joy in life and unfortunately their pathetic, miserable lives gain the sustenance they seek occassionally.
    Good stuff Son, very good stuff
    If your life is as empty as ours here you can waste your time listening to a recent podcast by our illustrious posters @CokeGreaterThanPepsi @Tequilla and @Dennis_DeYoung

    The Apple cup talk starts around 7:55 and captures some of the feel of the cultural differences and how they are really second rate.

    Unfortunately Atlanta has really cleaned up downtown, and hipsters are even moving in to that area, so the classic shoot outs and crack deals aren't nearly as prevelant. Really destroying the culture.

    I suggest Clermont Lounge for those types of activities. It lives up to its billing and chances are high you'll receive a lap dance from a 47 year old right next to Jon Ham or Robert Downey Jr.

    Is it on Peachtree?

    "fvck" is the original Latin usage, so it mvst be OK
    Cheetah is on Spring Street, right off of Peachtree. It's in Midtown. You can grab a chili dog at the Varsity then go (insert chili dog sex joke here) at Cheetah.

    Clermont is on Ponce a mile or so east of Midtown.
    If you're dropping chili dog jokes, you need to STAY. You belong here.

    I didn't want to leave anyone's favorite off so I left it open so that everyone could use their own personal favorite.

    Diversity!

    Us Bammers enjoy paying attention to college football nationally.

    Unlike the rest of our conference who clings to our robe begging for morsels, we don't need or want to chant SEC SEC SEC all over the place. We are the SEC. So, we cast our eyes Westward looking for the next threat to the throne, and there be ye Huskies.

    I've always liked Washington from afar. Awesome stadium, badass colors, seemingly passionate alumni base. You guys ain't half bad.

    Fvck you though

    Any Husky who knew enough to use a Mike Dubose avatar in an elaborate ruse would get two thumbs up from me

    Did any of y'all go to Baton Rouge a few years ago?

    Yep ... great trip ... had no expectations from the game whatsoever ... made the inevitable anal plungering that much more enjoyable.

    I went to Baton Rouge, but I live in the "Land of Cotton" close to ATL (at the time I was in Dallas).

    They yelled "Tiger Bait" at us and we had Seven Win as our coach, so we were completely fucked. It was around my bday so mostly an excuse to go carouse in NOLA and fucking carouse we did.

    Baton Rouge is no joke: ask Boosie. Even he moved to ATL.

    It's a different place for sure. Bucket list trip (I went to the Saban return game in 2008), but not on my return list.

    Speaking of Coach DuBose, I dated a girl in the Shaun Alexander era whose dad was a huge Bama booster (not like top level, but gave ~50k year) and I was a big Bama fan pre-Saban. Those were fun teams to follow. Antwan Odom and all those DTs out of Memphis you guys paid for.

    I even went to Shreveport for Saban's first Bowl Game vs. the Buffs. That was my first experience with actual Bama fans. I'll just let that one sit there.

    Anyway, sad to see what's happened to the program under Saban.

    The Tiger Bait didn't really bother me after the game because we were ...

    Before the game we tailgated with a fairly well connected City of Baton Rouge employee (I'll just leave it at that) ... we ran into this person on Friday leaving our hotel and he insisted that we attend his tailgate. We went to dinner and ran across another person inviting us to their tailgate ... when we said that we couldn't because we already accepted an invitation to another tailgate this second person laughed and told us it was the same tailgate.

    Long story short, there had to be 300+ people at this tailgate and the stories spun to my Yankee friends (like @Dennis_DeYoung I had also lived in Dallas for a time) had them shooting looks at me as if to say that the stories that I had been telling them over the years that they thought were complete bullshit perhaps weren't so bullshit. I laugh any time I talk to those on the trip about the South and the good ole boy network.

    When your seats as a visitor are at the back row of the stadium seemingly 10k feet in the air ... it's hard to muster the desire to want to go do that again.

    That being said, going to a game on a Louisiana Saturday Night should be on every college football fans bucket list.
