Where to start today? Oh, I’ll get to the sports news in a minute.
Yesterday I was feeling really worried. I called, texted, and emailed Ms. Sexy X. I got nothing. I had to go to work at noon. Sigh. I was texting a friend when I went in and at 1201 I’m wondering why he just blew up my phone with 3 text messages in a row. As I opened it I realized only one was from him and the other two were from Ms. Sexy X. FINALLY! The message was a double but it was an important update. I’m not sure why she didn’t update me a lot sooner but it made sense. I don’t know. I was still feeling down. She surprised me by sending a picture later in the day and that made me super excited. She knows how to make me happy. :-)
After work I went to my friends house where we grilled some hotdogs and had chili cheese fries. I got the Nathan’s brand on MSX’s suggestion and they were very good. They were juicy and tasty and on sale but normally expensive. I think it’s very similar to the Angus Ballparks except the latter tends to have a tad bit of a spice or taste to it… I can’t explain that but can taste it. I was stuffed. We watched the Boise State vs Oregon game. That game was PAINFUL to watch. BSU was just ramrodding Oregon but they couldn’t finish. They missed two field goals so after their first score they opted to run a two point conversion which worked wonderfully. There were a lot of fumbles in this game and a pick or two. Boise State would find a way to put Oregon in a great position instead of sealing the deal. Oregon, however, managed to find a way to fuck up every single time. They just kept shooting themselves in the foot. They didn’t even get a fucking first down until 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. What about their star running back LeGarrette Blount? He was sitting at negative yardage on about 8 carries. Does that name sound familiar? It might. He’s the one that promised an “ass whoopin” earlier in the week. He’s also the one that’s all over SportsCenter now. Not for his play… no he had a horrible negative 5 yards on carries for the game. It was his attitude afterwards where a Bronco linebacker (Byron Hout) gave Blount a sarcastic (taunting) pat on the back. Blount turned around and cold cocked him in the jaw dropping Hout out. What the hell? Then he was getting into fights with his teammates who were trying to calm him down. As he walked by the stands, the BSU fans jeered him and he turned around and almost went into the stands. He had to be pulled back and escorted by staff and cops. I swear he pushed a cop too. What class. His apology afterwords rang hollow. I hope he’s suspended the rest of the year.
There were some good plays in the NFL. Michael Vick can return by the 3rd week. He ran in a touchdown against the Jets. He also threw a pick. The Pittsburg Steelers’ new run specialist Stefan Logan ran one to the house yesterday. He’s already proving his value. I think he has potential for – dare I say - FOUR TD returns this season and major yardage on top of that. He’s small and fast and with our special teams making holes… it’s over!
I’m sure other things happened yesterday. There were two impressive one handed picks on the college level that you can find on SC’s top ten list. College ball officially kicked off with that game last night. Saturday is looking solid with a line up of Ohio State & Navy (really? Will the triple option and cuts hurt OSU?) then the Georgia & Oklahoma State plays. After THAT, you can watch Brigham Young & Oklahoma and there’s even one more game – Alabama & Virginia Tech! The highlight reel will be smoking that night, I bet.
I’m trying to keep a positive outlook on things here. I don’t have a college team but I do love watching a good game. The weather is fine, not too hot nor too cold. I have a persistent cough that’s annoying the fuck outta me. Luckily, it seems I’ve stopped coughing up phlegm. Blah. I’m still a bit worried and I’m definitely lonely and I miss her so much. This is hard on me. What to do, what to do?
Here’s a GREAT sign that made me laugh during the Oregon/BSU game. It’s extremely appropriate given how badly the Ducks sucked it up.
