FFS. 

Sorry, y'all. This one's on me. I was hoping everyone would just treat that as a throwaway comment...

My bad.

Hence my apology. I didn't want it to go political. But I should have recognized I was baiting the hook. 

I shouldn't have said it.

Whoever cleared out the junk that I assume sprouted up, not making me grumpy. Good job.

Got my foot crunched by a HS football player in cleats to night. That'll have me grumpy.

Mid-size. Inside linebacker. Probably low 200s. Doing better than I expected.

Can we agree on this?  Stop the bands from just blaring their horns leading up to the snap?  I fucking hate it.  Play your songs, etc, but the noise just for noise-sake can go to hell.

A/C stopped working. Got "lucky" in that the tech can come out Monday morning to check it out. Unlucky in that it's supposed to be around 90 here today.

Eh, let the crowd provide that.

The only time I've witnessed fake, pumped in crowd noise was in Starkville back in '99 or '00.  It made sense, because they had a high school stadium that's since been expanded.

The blaring horns thing is like nation-wide and sucks.
