I cant wait!!

I just came to the site to see if there was a post about this since it is coming up soon and here it is! I am glad you posted what time it starts too, this will help as I am sure I will be drunk with disappointment by the Lions draft picks.

How many are you ordering?

Will be ordering at least three so far, one for me, one for the hubby over in Afghanastan, one for my brother (doesn't read much but is a huge football fan so this should get him reading :) maybe I should get another for the US troop I know too... hmmmm will these be able to be shipped to APOs?
