The Center of the Universe

Is obviously Tallahassee, Florida.

The two most important things on the radar screen go through here:

  1. The election results for the State of Florida will decide the next president.

  2. For a chance at Oklahoma and a BCS title game berth you have to beat the Seminoles in the computer rankings.

  3. Hi Opal.
    Not bad for a little old one-horse town with 7 known dopers!


When I was in the Army homosexuality was illegal.
Then it became optional.
I’m glad I left before it became mandatory! :eek:

Looks like Miami just beat them in the computer rankings. Sorry 'bout that.

And for the record, Alumni Hall at the University of Notre Dame is The Center of the Universe. Thank God I lived in St. Ed’s.

Nope – Miami inched up a few decimal places on strength of schedule. The computers still like FSU.

And upon playing Florida this weekend, FSU will likely wind up with one of the top 3 toughest schedules. If they beat UF the computers will continue to like them and Miami will be unable to surpass their strength of schedule.

:wink:

You’re all full of spittle. I am the center of the universe… and dammit, I’m tired of all you wimpy lil’ galaxies floating around me!!!

Now, I hate to burst some bubbles here, but the center of the universe is Mississippi. Shocked? You shouldn’t be.

Our River seperates the Nation.
It was the wild west, at the turn of 19th century.
While fraud, hatred, envy, jealousy, greed and envy are rife in this nation, we serenly move along.

And…

The last time a #1 team came to the SEC, we kicked their butt.

Y’all may be the center of the universe, but the sun shines out of my @ss and don’t any of you forget it!

So that’s why the air smells so bad :smiley:

Rumor has it that the election misqueues in South Florida are really just practice for the BCS campaign.

“Miami: WE’RE NUMBER TWO! … Wait, Recount”

Tuesday night, Bobby Bowden on 60 Minutes II - it just doesn’t get any better than that!

No, THIS is The Center of the Universe. I’ve always thought it was a little too industrial-looking, but to each his own.

Reporters that descended upon Tallahassee to cover the election fiasco are being kicked out of their hotels.

This weekend is the annual FSU/UF game. With the possible exception of the FSU/Miami game, it is usually the biggest game played in the state.

Many ticketholders of both schools plan their trip to Tallahassee far in advance to ensure accomodations. Some boosters have had their reservations in place for a year.

To meet these obligations, hotels are evicting anyone that does not have a confirmed reservation for the weekend.

Uh, Mr. Rather… I’ve got a toolshed you can borrow. Well, rent – for $150.00/night.

Cleary this IS the center of the universe :wink:

Sorry, SPOOFE, my friend, but:

  1. The Universe is infinite.
  2. Therefore, from where I am, the Universe stretches infinitely far, * in any direction*
  3. Hi Opal
  4. The edges of the universe are equidistant from where I am at any given time, I am the centre of the universe, Q.E.D.
  5. The fact that I am in Tallahassee just lends weight to my arguments.

Hey Southern, howyadoin?

You know, I will admit that the center has shifted for a short period of time. Enjoy your fifteen minutes buddy, it could not happen to a nicer guy.

We will be expecting it (the center of the universe) back by next week. Please wrap your little re-counts and ball games, and send us back that center, so we can get back to some serious liberal agendas here in S.F. with the full attention that the center of the universe brings with it.

Hi Sili,

A very broad brush has painted me as some kind of right-wing, bigotted, homophobe. (Check out the pit.)

Be careful my friend. Your kind words might get you colored as well.
Oh yeah, wife also lives here. When the center of the universe shifts here in the next few days, the center of my universe will still be Tallahassee, Florida!

:wink:

Three of my very favorite posters here: Michi/Cyndar, GolfWidow and TroubleAgain are from Florida.

If that ain’t the center of the universe, it’s the center of cool SDMB posters, at least as far as my opinion goes.

That business about electing a president? Small potatoes.

They do seem to have good football teams, though.

Hey Southern, I saw that thread (just posted a quick reply there too), but I will say that one thing strikes me about many of those who say that tolerance is what it’s all about: they are just as quick to be intolerant of anyone they perceive as being in disagreement with them. Humans, go figure.

BTW, the center of the Universe has decided to stick around in FL for a while, but please be sure to send it back soon. The liberals around here in CA are getting antsy, you know they need to be the center of attention…
