I knew the first one was filmed at Arizona in Tuscon, subbing for Adams College. The movie is not streaming anywhere... and I don't have my worn old VHS copy from the 80's I taped off HBO or Showtime.

That might have been from the sequel?

I know Revenge of the Nerds very well. Very well. The bleachers in Tiger Stadium was sealed off from the rest of the stadium. Underneath the bleachers in the lower deck was where they stored things so you couldn't go down there. In the rest of the stadium you had street level concourses/concessions as well as at the top of the lower deck. If you sat in the upper deck you used those. But if you tried to walk all the way aroudn the stadium they had chain link fences with an attendant near each side of the bleachers. It was like being in prison. It was the lower level concourses that had some hallways and doors that you could sneak through. It was cold and damp everywhere and had a smell mixed of onions/peppers/beer, and probably piss. Coleman Young famously shut down the bleachers because people were getting rowdy. We sat there for opening day in 1995, after the strike, and the season started later so it was nicer out. Things got crazy as fans were kind of rebelling. Women were flashing people. People ran on the field.

This will be a tough series. Going to be a beautiful weekend though. Little chilly tonight but it's date night for the wife and I. Tomorrow I get to see Sturgill Simpson.

We would do that with Larry Herndon. We joined what was called the Pepsi/Tiger Fan Club. Have no idea what it cost, couldn't have been much, and you got a few Tiger tickets in LF and a gift. Larry would acknowledge us then we'd argue over who he was smiling to. Did a lot of exploring at Tiger Stadium as a youth. We found the clubhouse, then ran as fast as we could.

There’s no zealot like a convert

Jesus.... the Rockies are bad.

She was mistaken. She had him confused with another American candidate. She's happy enough with this fella.

The Chicago diocese had it's issues. Sadly it's just part of the legacy of the Catholic Church.

the right people don't like it. I've seen enough.

I was sad to see Kemp go but I was like 8 years old so.... whatever.

I don't know this for sure but I'd bet Skubal is in Detroit today resting for tomorrow. Teams often do that for the SP when there's travel after a night game.

One of my images of him is in his shorts with the White Sox. They hated that trade. Imagine how we'd feel if we didn't end up with Austin Jackson or Max Scherzer after trading Grandreson?

The boss of this family says your gonna be pope

I did see a tweet where he chastised the VP for "ranking" who we are supposed to love.

my wife says he's conservative

yeah agree. And beyond the one year wonder he had some notoriety but fans got over that through the years.

Dwight Lowrey died young, Tigers still played in Tiger Stadium, they flew a DL flag on the pole for him. Dave Bergman Willie

seriously about to cry....

I can't put my finger on why but I like Trey Sweeney. I think he's going to have a fine career and deliver a key hit in the playoffs one day.

good cuz we'll be there

"Virtually"

Everthing I learned about football came from that game. We weren't a football family so didn't watch much and the Lions didn't offer much incentive outside of Billy Sims. My older sister and her husband had it so I would play it when at their house.
