With no football this fall,
- Thread starter TwinDegrees2
- Start date
Probably getting to know the ACC and SEC football teams better this Fall.
I still have serious doubts they actually step on the field.
Hopefully get in an overnight sailboat trip or two before the weather changes.
At my age drinking contests with myself will result in multiple "one tank trips".
Do normal Saturday chores and think about the would have been games in the back of my head. Oh, and continue to give covid the finger.

FirstDownB is spot on. the greatest community of upset people are the wives of all B10 fans as there will be extra time at home.
One's own wife...or someone else's? I would not advocate the latter, but just want to make sure.
The gal in your picture....hell with the wife. She should know you can't pass that up!
I wish I didn’t have to rotate my phone every time you post. I guess I’ll just have to get used to it.
For you "West Coasters"....here you go...
West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta
The first thing Tualatin, Oregon has going for its uniquely weird sport is the title: West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta. Add the word “regatta” to the name of any boat or yacht race; the regal nomenclature gives the event instant cred.

Located just outside of Portland, this town lives up to the “Keep It Weird” slogan. Every October, participants dress up in ridiculous Halloween costumes and race across Tualatin Lake inside huge pumpkins.
Eat your heart out, New England. This is how the Pacific Northwest does Halloween.
ONLY ON THE LEFT COAST.

10. Lawn Mower Racing
Do not let the comical name lawn mower racing fool you. As funny as the concept is, the sport itself is equally intense.
The major difference between lawn mower racing and go-karting is the vehicle itself. Unlike a go-kart, a lawn mower must maintain its engine and chassis (frame).

This mini-sized style of racing originated in the UK. After a group of friends became fed up with the unavoidable cash vacuum and huge startup costs of auto-racing, they came up with this new sport. Whether the event takes place on a flat track or off-road, lawn mower racing is a hit.
Not convinced? It’s grown so much that Lawnmower Racing Mania 2007 is a real Xbox game. That’s legit.

Cycleball
Cycleball, or “radball” as it’s referred to in German (probably because it’s so sick, bruh) looks very much like a game of soccer… but on bicycles. It’s a two-on-two competition with riders using fixed-gear bikes without a freewheel or brakes.

It’s hard to argue that, at a glance, the sport looks ridiculous as competitors whack a ball around with their bike. Don’t be fooled, though. This picture alone shows just how acrobatic and crafty players can get when trying to save or score a goal.

Those pumpkins are pretty small compared to the ones raced on the pond in Ludwigsburg, Germany, as part of the world's largest pumpkin festival, an event that should be seen by all to be believed. The world's largest record pumpkin is frequently there. The year with the life-size dinosaur sculptures made from pumpkins was amazing.

I do miss living in Stuttgart, but no Purdue football!
If you're close enough to go, this is unbelievable. 5000 pumpkins...all sizes...all hand carved and electrically lit in a Louisville park. The pumpkins are replace every five days. https://www.facebook.com/louisvillejackolanternspectacular/
At least we have high school football so far. Will be enjoying Friday nights under the lights.
