What are their general feelings about the game Saturday? Do they expect to win or are they dejected over the QB situation?

I was in the car for a few hours today, so I got to listen to local sports radio. The radio show hosts are very scared of our game. They said they don't care if it is an ugly 1 point win...they will be relieved to get out of there with the W. They were raving about our O-line and how it always seems that we have a bunch of experienced 23 year olds. They want to see their D-line vs. our O-line and think it will be a battle. They mentioned our running attack and how many different formations we run out of...that it's scary and hard to defend. They were all talking about a low scoring defensive game....17 to 13-ish. One of the hosts was saying he played Shipping Up to Boston about 40 times this week....they all love the Boston accent and any Ben Affleck/Matt Damon Boston based movie. They also said if anyone is going, to go get some great seafood. They said that Phil Steele was on their show yesterday and he predicted a 2 TD win by Clemson, but they don't think that's the case.
My husband thinks it's going to be really close game. Without Watson, he's very concerned. Cole Stoudt has a sprained AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder. They might throw in a little wildcat action with RB Adam Choice.
PS - Clemson's O-line is being held together by duck tape. They've had a lot of injuries.

I am currently wearing mine in a cracker barrel in CT. Drive up is hell today on 95.
shockdoct {l Wrote}:Which route are you guys taking?
On Saturday morning, it is usually fine if you take the Hutch/Merritt to 91 and then one maneuver to avoid the Charter Oak Bridge in Hartford. By taking Hutch/Merritt, you might briefly sit in traffic before the 287 interchange, but you avoid all the construction on 95 between Stamford and Fairfield and the normal New Haven interchange mess.
With the head of the Charles this weekend, I could see there being a backup at the newton exits, but it is probably quicker to take 95 to Route 9.
For the way home on Sunday, the mass pike is usually without traffic with a departure before noon, but if there is the normal backup on the 90/84 interchange, just get off the Mass Pike (either exit 10 or 10A) and take route 20 to 84.
Although after yet another miserable Sunday drive through CT on both 95 and the Merritt/Hutch, I am just going to start taking 84 to 684.

Over the years I have taken each route you mention. I prefer the Hutch/Merritt route, but sometimes I have to stick with 95 because I stop at my buddy's house - he lives just off 95 near the Mass./RI border - and bring him up too. This was one of those times. Once I got out of southwestern CT all was good.
I made fantastic time on the way home - 4 hours 30 minutes from just north of Providence to Bryn Mawr.

Hutch/Merritt route is definitely the way to go with all of the 95 construction, but you just have to keep an eye on a traffic app as one accident on the 2 lane road creates absolute gridlock.
On Sunday, I have found with a departure between 11 and 12 that you can sail back to the city without traffic. As with the USC game, I left the south end closer to 1:00 yesterday and 95/15 were brutal even using shortcuts.

I am going to Brooklyn via 3rd ave bridge/FDR. Assuming there isn't an accident on the FDR, that route is smooth sailing once you get on 278.
Issue with Henry Hudson on a Sunday is you have to deal with GWB and/or tunnel traffic and I would anyways still have to travel cross town at some point.

Nope, my route would be terrible for hipster land. Hutch

I wear my skinny jeans under my whalepants.
One alternative route I have discovered for heading north is 87 to the Cross County to the Hutch. Allows you to avoid all the people taking 95 across the GWB.

you should join the eo section in the upper deck endzone above the band / student section. don't get 'down in fronted'.
only negative is you have to walk downstairs for the bathroom
