Okay, Besides Auburn Football...

[Snaggletiger]

what griped your grippies about this weekend?  What did you love about this weekend?  I left work Thursday about lunch, sick as a dog and pretty much stayed that way until yesterday.  Consequently...or fortunately...I watched a ton of TV over that time period.  Admittedly, this is one of the best times on planet earth if you're sports fan in general.  Think about it. College football is in full swing everywhere..except at Auburn.  The NFL cranked up this weekend.  Major League Baseball is coming down the stretch with a ton of spots completely up in the air.  The US Open Tennis Championship was in the semis and finals. The PGA had a star studded event in the BMW which had all the top names at the top of the leaderboard.  Even NASCAR's race at Richmond was the final race to decide the final spot in the Chase. Something for every fan.

I think I watched some of every one of the above.  I even love tennis.  Used to play it all the time.  Which brings me to gripe #1.  Listen ladies, every time you swing a tennis raquet, I don't want to hear some primal orgasmic scream come out of your mouth.

HUH-EEEEEEYYYYYYYY

HUH-IIIIYYEEEEEEEE

HUH-OOOOOAARRRHH

Golf fan.  Let's be real clear about this.  There's not one golfer on tour...not ONE...who thinks it's motivational or even super keen, for 5 of you to holler, "GET IN THE HOOOOOLE" on every single swing, chip or putt.  Now to be even more clear....if it's a Par 5 and the hole is over 500 yards away....I'm pretty sure it's not going in the hole on the drive.  Mmmk?  Thx

I discovered that I used all my sports related Mojo in the past three years...  I blew my wad.  Saints, Auburn, and the Cardinals.

All of this season is my fault.

I watched nothing.  Happier for it. 

Played two rounds of golf Sunday since the humidity went from 90% to 10%. 

Shot 98 in the first 18.  Shot 82 the second 18.

Turned off the game at ½ time and blood pressure went down-Weather was perfect in the Dallas area so the wife and I took the train to one of our local watering holes (Trinity hall) Irish pub and sat outside and drank a few and then went down the street to a Rockfish and had dinner and then gave some thought to going over to SMU and catching there football game, but figured I had seen enough bad football so went back to the Irish pub and drank some more. Sunday got up late, lounged around and had a late lunch at a Tex-Mex place in Upper Downtown. Except for the game it was a pretty good weekend.

Oh man, Friday, I really wanted an egg salad sandwich and I was just obsessing about it and I was like, 'Man, I'm gonna make one of those.'

So Saturday, I went out and got, like, a dozen eggs and then I boiled them all and I just, I spent, I dunno, probably three hours, like three and a half hours making, you know, the mayonnaise, and the onions and paprika and, you know, the necessary accoutrement. And then, by the time I was done, I didn't really feel like like eating it.

I want to talk about Jen Brown...she has weird sideline manner. She speaks in these hushed tones...like somebody is really injured, or everything is a secret...or as I said at the time, like she was reporting at a funeral.

I guess she knew more than I did at the time. 

Anyway, she's ok to look at but that shit was weird.

I loved that besides the Auburn game (fuck me), every game I watched was competitive and entertaining.

Florida-Texas A&M went down to the wire, and Georgia-Missouri was close until the end.

See, I got a lot of satisfaction from those two games.  Don't have a dog in the fight with any of the 4 teams.  But there was just something about all the hype surrounding A&M and Mizzou coming in to the league and how they would both kick some ass and show the world.  I especially loved the Mizzou lineman talking smack about how if they execute, no SEC team can touch them.  Then they go out with those butt-fucking-ugly ass uniforms...in front of the most fired up crowd in Missouri history..talking shit and jumping around all night...only to lose by 21 points.

I realized that I don't have one gameday shirt in my wardrobe that I feel is not cursed.

I realized that I had a lot of shit to do around the house.  Got most of it done during the second half of Saturday's game.

BIL story...but when I'm not at the game, it's always family at my house for AU foosballz.  This guy is a HS coach and watches shitty game film til 1:00 a.m. He endures horrible football year round.  Start of the 4th, he got up and said, "I need to cut my grass"  Walked out.  I just held up a beer...see ya'.
