The baseball season ended.

Greg Davis called eleventybillion passes of 2 yards or less.

I didn't drink nearly as much as I should have.

Welcome home.

You should have stayed two more weeks, so you could have also missed the Nebraska game.

I guess that I'll have to start behaving myself again. Welcome back, Coach! I'm glad that you had a great trip and a great birthday.

So how much of the record 7 million litres did you drink.

Also, yours?

Firstly, and this may come as relief to close observers of Oktoberfest statistics in recent years, items retrieved from the tents this year again included a set of dentures, which had been absent from the list in 2009 for the first time in many years.

my dentures (and camera) still are in my possession.

Carolyn and i drank 7 litres combined over two days...as i recall. the first day, which was a Sunday and my birthday, getting a seat was impossible so we just walked around and drank at the Augustiner Keller.

i assumed the question meant at Oktoberfest. our daily totals those days was higher if off-site consumption counts.
