  1. Be wary of grouper prices that are suspiciously low. Because the supply of Florida grouper is limited, the price is generally around $11 to $13 per pound wholesale filet value, and the retail value -- the price paid by consumers -- will be even higher. Prices that are considerably lower likely mean that the fish is not grouper, but instead is a substitute species of lesser value, such as basa, Asian swai, sutchi or tra catfish.

     

    Florida seafood industry experts say you should expect to pay the following approximate prices for Florida grouper in restaurants:

     

    High-end, white tablecloth restaurant

    Entree: $21 to $27

    Sandwich: $13 to $16

     

    Middle-price restaurant

    Entree: $16 to $20

    Sandwich: $10 to $12

     

    Lower-price restaurant

    Entree: $14 to $16

    Sandwich: $8 to $10

    If you're in tourist trap heaven. I can have a grouper sandwich with fries and slaw today at Daddy's Grill here in Oldsmar for $5.50.
  2. Doesn't WVU return most of their team?

     

    UC is headed in the right direction. They will not compete this year , as GT said, and I do not think they will be a serious contender in the next 2 to 3 years.

     

    Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

    Slaton and White are Juniors, but I have a feeling that Slaton may opt for the NFL.

     

    By the way, UC fans, sit back and enjoy this growing part. To me, it's the most fun.

  3. Naturally I'm hoping for a South Florida win, but here is a reality check.....

     

    Last year Slaton was injured coming into the game and was re-injured in the 1st quarter. They, WVU, did not have Devine. Once the run was taken away from the Mountaineers, the Bulls pinned their ears back and came after White. George Selvie had a field day, but White was still able to rally WVU late and USF had to hold them off.

  4. Louisville's season seems to have ended when they lost to Kentucky. No winning tradition that pushes them to bounce back against Syracuse. One good national level performance year and done. Coaches ( John L, Petrino) leave a mid level program that overachieved with fans that can't fill a 40,000 seat stadium in the conference opener? The old guard of football teams must think that Louisville was a one hit wonder. This is a lesson in what it takes to build tradition. Win all games you should and bring it in games you shouldn't. Do we still want to build the upper level?
    Wow! I guess you don't want my UL/USF tickets either? :D;)
  5. As a USF fan, I'd love nothing better than to see the Bulls win the BEast. However, as a realist, I can see them dropping all 3 conference home games to WVU, UC, and UofL as well as road games to Rutgers and Pitt. Cincinnati is good, very good.

     

    One thing I've gotten from this season so far, is that nobody, absolutely nobody, knows what's going to happen next. As someone who loves college football, that's as close to heaven as I can picture.

  6. What about Oregon? Oregon beat Michigan 39-7. If ORGEGON can do that, what do you think Wisconsin, Penn State, and Ohio State will do to them? I see Michigan going 6-6 maybe 7-5.

     

    And I don't see them beating Ohio State at the end of the year. By that time Boeckman will be better, so will Wells and Robiskie, and the D will be even better. If Michigan can't stop App State's offense, I feel sorry for them when they have to play against PJ Hill and Wisconsin, and Wells and the Buckeyes.

    You're assuming that Oregon would not do that to the rest of the Big 10. The Buckeyes had trouble with Akron, who they should have blown into next week, and it took a late comback by Wisconsin to beat UNLV.

     

    After the way the vaunted elite teams of the Big 10 were thrashed by their competition in the Bowl games last year, there is a question hanging out there as to whether the entire conference is a good as advertised. The OSU - Washington game will answer part of that question. However, if the Maze and Blue can win the conference title, which I can't rule out, they'll be ranked. For the TV ratings for the Rose Bowl, if for no other reason.

  7. I have been monitoring the site most of today and the only packet losses I'm getting are from a DNS server at Abovenet Communications in New York. I've got about 8 hops through their network to get to BGP, and there appears to be a clog there. However, this slow down has not prevented me from getting on and posting.
