Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

It's feeling frosty out there! I used the fireplace last night for the first time all year while watching Dune. I'm not sure about the movie, but the fire was great. I have to run around all day - drop my wife's car off at the shop, drive down to Circleville to meet my parents and pick up my heathen kids, take them to some sort of spooky thing at their school. Luckily the Buckeyes don't play until the evening slot.

It's 50°F here this AM. which is about a record low since last winter I suspect.  We have a concert tonight but fortunately there aren't many games worth watching today.  The weather should be near perfect.  We'll go to the local farmer's market that comes to the park each Saturday and probably buy nothing.  There is a nice Italian spot the wife likes called Grana we may do for lunch, they have an excellent outdoor terrace on the roof.  

It's nice to be home, actually, traveling is fine and interesting but I prefer being home in the main.  I woke up at 5 AM and suddenly all sorts of "issues" popped into my head so I got up and made coffee and checked on those issues, none of them serious, and most were not really issues it turns out, things like whether my property tax was really paid or not (it was) and whether I paid some CC bill or not and what happened to those Discover gift cards I ordered?  I did get a letter from the IRS saying they received my response at least and they need more time, which is OK I guess.  

I loathe E Trade.

Mornin' all,got some coffee- black,going to finish last nite's robust Ham & Cheese Hoagie,proper - over the sink.Wonder if the Spoilers can keep their one game winning streak alive in Madtown.Noon game students should be filing in by,I dunno halftime.Hope the Good Guys aren't looking past the Hoosiers tonite

Lots of frost on the pumpkins here in MSP. First hard freeze of the season in the city was last night. 

While we all acknowledge that there is no better trophy in all of college football than Floyd of Rosedale, we will be contesting the River Flats Cup for the 4th time today. It's the greatest trophy in bucket sports. In the event any of you are around the Twin Cities around 9:00, y'all should come down to East River Flats Park and toss some buckets. 

This is the Gophers first 230PM local time start of the season. 

As for the Gophers, Maryland is a team that the Gophers have had problems with for the duration of PJ'S tenure. I think we win, but have a lot of troubles with. 

Did something new this morning. Ran a half marathon distance. Did not think that was anything I would ever do.

Don't plan on leaving the house today, except to walk the dog, and already did that. Watching gameday at UCLA and they're whining that there's actually water in the air, falling from the sky, in SoCal. It's mist, fellas, you won't melt.

Tonight is burgers. Current planned side dish is deep fried onion strings. But my wife may pivot on that as they're a pain in the ass. Could end up with corn on the cob and/or tater tots. 

In Florida this weekend visiting my dad.  We are headed to the beach this morning so my wife can tan and my dad and I can find a bar nearby to watch the early games.

Which area of Florida?
