And the Spartans Shall Fend the Raging Beasts (SOC 10/12/19)
« on: October 12, 2019, 07:26:32 AM »
In a span of ten days we've gone from brutally hot to now 40 degrees and wet.  Luckily, soccer is over, I've got plenty of firewood, and I'm contemplating what to get for some good eats.  Something that will cook low and slow - might try my hand at some barbacoa like substance if I spy a good chuck roast out in the wild.  Also have some dried chilis on hand I should probably make a run at.

Very very nice weather here, perfect really, though we need some rain.

I watched the first half of the UVA-Miami game and wondered whether UVA's offense was that inept or Miami found some D.  UVA looked OK between the 20s.

I went to bed, it was boring, I see not much changed in the second.  This somewhat hurts Notre Dame's image, but they have Michigan yet to play.  If ND loses to Michigan badly, they will drop of course and that hurts UGA's imagery.  Of course, this sort of syllogism doesn't really work in CFB, but we have it.

Georgia's gonna be fine, win all the games and you're in the CFP.  I don't see anyone in the SEC east that will beat you, and the Aggies certainly aren't going to beat you.  Who else do you play from the SEC west?

Thursday high was near 100, Friday high was around 51 and it was raining.  Afternoon high today around 68 and sunny, should be a glorious day, wish I were up in Dallas for the game.

UGA plays at Auburn, hosts A&M, and of course plays Florida.  But if they are 12-1 and win the CG, they should be in despite optics.

The key remains beating Bama (or perhaps LSU).

If they lost to South Carolina or someone like that, well, they don't deserve it.

A beautiful morning in the Twin Cities. 31 degrees, snow showers, and a SW wind 15 gusting to 25 mph. 

Going down to the Flats around 11.

The Pride Festival is this weekend, across the street from me in the park.  We went over and walked around some last year, it was "interesting".  Mostly folks out and about enjoying the nice weather and getting some drinks and food from food trucks (these are festival food trucks and not nearly as good as the usual food trucks).

I'll be watching football and tomorrow we're headed up into the mountains for a few days.

I may go up and turn on SEC N because they are in Athens today apparently.  I'm not sure how long I can stand to listen, but whatever, the crowd may be fun.  It's an early noon game today.  I kinda like getting the game "out of the way" in a sense, but noon crowds are not as lively of course.

I wonder why that is, I've been up since 6 AM.

Yes.  Beautiful crisp morning,   My wife and I picked up a 5# shoulder as the butcher was closing last night.    It is now on the Egg,  I went with a carolina style rub.   Also making chicken stock and my hot and spicy chex mix.    That stuff's like crack.    My folks are in town, and we have a bonanza of college football today.

Since we're not up at the Cotton Bowl for the game this year, we're doing "State Fair at home" so we've got the deep fryers ready to go.  We'll be doing corny dogs, tater tots, fried oreos, fried twinkies, and funnel cake.  I've also got a special treat, I've got some chopped brisket and cheese that I've stuffed into homemase flour tortillas, and we're going to deep fry those as well.

Should be in a complete food coma by 2.  Wish me luck.
