As some may know, I'm a moderator at another board, and I hate that I keep mentioning it. But I have a question for Loungers, and this isn't an indictment, or an accusation, I really want to know. The other site is a cigar site, by the by, and folks there are quite generous with their cigars...

Tigers open the season on Thursday August 30th on national TV vs. the Bulldogs of Moo U. I'm really looking forward to this season, with so many of our big games in Tiger Stadium.
