OMG, I corrected the post. I had no clue who actually sang that POS song but should have looked at the caption.

At least Asia and Europe are part of the same land mass. Both bands suck and both bands were heavily influenced by the Beatles and the Monkeys.

Tribe4SF runs it now AFAIK and Bonarae kicks in if there is a need for help unless this has changed.

If things are the same going forward it will be up to either of them to post up the day by Noon ET. If that day is not up by Noon ET, it falls to the first person that can create the post in the exact same titling and fashion that they have shown as the parameters for the post each day.

Haven't spoken with Tribe4SF yet, nor has he been seen posting as of late. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Patience, my children. The Great App State Countdown is coming. It's a memorial. Be reverent!

[Tribe4SF]

The Countdown will begin on May 24. Pointed to Thursday Sept. 1 kickoffs.

I thought we always used the traditional Saturday games as kick-off day, not the early Thursday game....... or am I mistaken?

Dang if being influenced by either the Monkees or the Beatles means a band suck that means that we need to ban 85% of the songs made after 1970 xcoffeex.

Also can anyone think of any song by Asia that sounds like Come Together or Daydream Believer? Or any Beatles or Monkees song that sounds like Heat of the Moment? Cause I cant.


Anyway, sorry that got off topic. Please don't kill me Ursus. :D

The common theme that runs through all of those songs you mentioned is that they all suck equally.

We set our countdown to the week where the majority of FCS schools will start their season, not the Kickoff week. FYI. xtwocentsx

I was under the impression that zero day was always the first Saturday of the season as well.

[POD Knows]

And you listen to...?

The voices in my head. :D I will throw some stuff up on the music thread when I get time but I like a lot of different stuff, blues, 50's R and B, Metal, Southern Rock, Punk. Pretty much like anything except the real commercial stuff, hip hop, Beatles, any band that had it's own TV show.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

The zero day is the first Saturday of the season when the full slate begins. Early games of any kind are not the start date.

September 3 is the zero day this year correct? I am going to try and the put the countdown clock back up this year and I don't want things to be all over the place with days left...consistency on it would be nice.

I'll pm tribe4 and see what his take on it is.

Yes. Sept 3rd is the first Saturday of the season this year. There is quite a few damn good match ups that weekend as well.

Has the rules committee issued a formal statement as to the methodology that is both unambiguous and nonpartisan?

So if the countdown is not to the first game (kickoff game), is it to the first full weekend? And if it is the first full weekend, is it to the first game on Saturday or the first game that weekend? And if it is to the first game that week, when does that weekend officially start? Saturday, Friday or Thursday? Because if it is Thursday, then my Bulldogs take on Mercer in Macon on Thursday, 1 Sep at 7PM which precisely 103 days and 27 minutes from the time I post this.

God I am going to love being retired.

Yes, all this has been decided and for general clarification for all it is realy as simple as this.

Zero day is the first full Saturday of games shared by the vast majority of teams...in this case Sept. 3rd, 2016. Since Saturday is zero day then it really doesn't matter which game is first that day as we are an unrefined bunch and we utilize unrefined techniques. xlolx

I realize your post was in self depricating humor style but figured it is a good chance to help out anyone not really getting it.

Home boards are a great place to do these things and make it fit more precisely to your particular team if it falls just a bit outside the parameters in any given year.

No. He is redundantly great, so it is non-redundant.
