And you will be associated with hugs and kisses. And you will mark the spot. And you will make writing Christmas easier." -Mitch Hedberg

I was there in ATL in 2004. Not sure I can pull off being there this time unfortunately. Originally Posted by Blue Blooded-05

Bet MGM has the games at 6 pm Central. I think they're just placeholders, but I hope that 9:59 time is correct! Originally Posted by D-West & PO-Z

X is playing at 1pm Friday per DK. That stinks. I’m sure it will be 8
If I was going to school for school, I wouldn’t have picked the University of Cincinnati. Dontonio Wingfield
