Do you have any idea how freakin annoying it is to have written about a page and a half in your BLOG and have the power go out? Before you saved it???
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!
So, I'm going to be a gentleman here and try and proceed---if it happens again, that's it...I'm done for now!
The damn storm can't decide if it wants to shit or get off the pot. Its "lingering". UGH. It appears that every person in my family is going to be affected by this thing though....I'm here in western Ft Lauderdale at Casa De Bowdren bunkered down.
My parents in Orlando have headed to a shelter. My sister in Jacksonville is going to hope that she doesn't have to leave her home, and my brother in Ft Walton Bch in the panhandle is standing by waiting to come down and help any of us who need it
(its good to have a contractor in the family)....but WHOOPS! The latest projections say the damn thing might cross Florida, head out into the Gulf of Mexico...and head his way!! Talk about changing your travel plans!
SPORTS ALERT!! SPORTS ALERT!! ABANDON ALL HOPE YEE WHO ENTER!!
Okay, so today is the first REAL day of college football. My beloved Fighting Irish have traveled to Provo, Utah, (currently NOT under a threat from Hurricane Frances--but give it time) and will do battle with the Fighting Mormons from BYU this evening. My prediction for the game is that the hurricane will wait until right around kickoff to disrupt my satellite, and I won't be able to watch the game. Trust me....its fate. "Cruel fate, why do you mock me?"
Should be some interesting games to watch...some blowouts, some upsets...the usual. The hurricane is playing havoc with scheduling, as a lot of games here in Florida have had to be rescheduled, including the long awaited rematch between Miami & FSU, and I'm sure the Noles will give them a great game....and then the kicker will blow the field goal at the end. Hey, it happens every year. Don't blame me. I was going to do a review of the Irish, but I already started that once, and the damn power went out....let's just say, I'm going to hope for a 7-4 season. Anything less than that and the heat will be on Ty Willingham even worse than it is now.
Remember that this is Ty's 3rd season in South Bend, and that's very important to followers of the Irish. Every great coach--Rockne, Leahy, Ara P., Devine & Holtz has won a national title in his 3rd year. That doesn't mean I'm expecting that from Ty--I just dont' wanna see us get our asses handed too us by 30 points again. The list of coaches who did NOT win a national title in South Bend their 3rd season is, uh, slightly less prestigious than the other one. Let's hope for a nice win tonight in Provo....because otherwise, I'm going to be one grumpy BLOG writer.
Later,
jeff
