Jim H and Hokey said in the booth that the replay officials are not replacements

The replay official in the NFL just tells the crew on the field to review it. The person making the decision, however, is the Referee, who is a replacement official.

The crystal football is the American Football Coaches' Assocoation trophy and has been awarded since before the BCS began. It's not going anywhere.

The regional at UCLA a few years ago was done by Jumbo and I'm fairly confident that it was streamed on CST.

Sadly, it's a complete lottery, so you don't have any advantage over the student who hasn't attended any games prior to postseason play.

Pretty sure it's done by the Student Priority Point system.

Not a Nickelodeon show, but I always wanted to play the "Grand Prize Game" on the Bozo the Clown Show on WGN. Wasn't that the game where you tossed ping pong balls into the 6 buckets, and there was a $50 bill in the last bucket?

---

$100 bill and a trip to Disney, actually. It was fantastic on the 40th Anniversary Special, Bozo kept finding clever ways to cheat so that the contestants won all the prizes (which were naturally upped for the special show). I wish there was a clip on YouTube...

As for the show I'd be on...look at my name.

I'm going to be in Gainesville next Saturday and I was going to try to go to the baseball game. The UF website won't let me get 4 tickets together anymore, and the cheapest I can get them on StubHub breaks down to $17.50 per ticket.

Has anyone been to Gainesville before for a baseball game? Can I just buy a general admission ticket at the stadium? That would save a lot of money.

TIA

I for one wish they would go back to the original seasons with tough physical challenges and no food, no water, no help.

---

Of the first 5 seasons, the only one where they got no food was Marquesas, and the beaches there had grapefruit trees.

Also, the challenges back then weren't NEARLY as complex as today. The first ever challenge? Swim/run with this raft and light torches. The second? Eat a bug. That's it.

In my opinion, One World is a fantastic season. Normally at this point in the series, I don't know who everyone is because people get so little airtime (Rick, anyone? Remember him?). But this time, I do know everyone - it's quite nice. Whoever said this season is one of the best since China is right, I haven't had this much fun watching a season since then, with the possible exception of Heroes vs Villains.

he was the best player in the game so far in terms of strategy...

So you think that telling Christina to jump into a fire or quit the game is good strategy? Because I sure as hell don't. He is nowhere near the best this season strategically.

That's something I hate about Survivor fans these days. They automatically think that a big move must mean good strategy, when it is more than likely not the case. The best strategy is to get to the end with the good will of the others, and Colton failed miserably at that.

How much of a sisy are you that a man calls you an oompa loompa then reveals that you are on the chopping block and yet you are right back up his arse the next week?

To be fair, Colton called Leif that in a confessional, not to his face. In all likelihood, Lief had no idea he was called that until he saw the show last week.

In other news, Tarzan is freaking hilarious.

The Brits have some great contributions: Doctor Who, Top Gear, and QI to name a few
