Summer has ended, long live summer (8/31/19 SOC)
« on: August 31, 2019, 08:26:38 AM »
At long last, and after half the the B1G has already kicked, we actually have the first real Saturday of college football.  My wife is getting antsy for us to go hit the gym, so I must be brief.

Noon
FAU at OSU - Fox.  Obviously I will be watching this game to see how the new coach, new quarterback, new defense appears against the Lane Kiffins of the world.

South Alabama at Nebraska, ESPN - Frosty year 2 starts and Nebraska facing big expectations.  Will check the score to see how they fare.

Howard at Maryland, BTN - The Locksley era begins

Akron at Illinois, BTN - Will Love survive?

Indiana at Ball State - How will the new Hoosier offense look?

3:30

Duke at Alabama, ABC - Doubtful Dukies will be up to the task, but how will the Sarkisian offense be for Bammer?

Idaho at Penn State, BTN - What will PSU's QB look like?



Northwestern at Stanford, Fox - Possibly very fun game to see how the Wildcats look after winning the B1G West last year

7:30: 

Middle Tennessee St. at Michigan, BTN - Obviously seeing Michigan's new look offense is the lure here

Oregon v. Auburn, ABC - Trying to see the Oregon hype but just not seeing it

Miami(OH) at Iowa - Will Iowa still be Iowa?  Probably

Kickoff at 7 PM.  Brisket went on the pit at 6 AM, should be done around 4 and it'll rest until we serve at 6. Pork spare ribs will go on at 12:30 or so, also to be done by 6.  Gonna smoke a couple of pork tenderloins toi go along with all that just for fun.

My i s c & a aggie wife tells me that some people are bringing sides and appetizers.  I'm not sure why, but I'll let them have at it. :)


Football is back, baby!

I consider Labor Day to be the last day of summer. Although it would technically be Sept 20, according to the Sun. 

But definitely not the Saturday before Labor Day.

brother in Round Rock has had the smoker going since 4am

I'm baking skinless brats in the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes

he suggested I should be using the smoker he bought for me, I suggested that I wasn't getting up at 4am!

Bloodies pre-game, brats at halftime

should be 6 or 7 of us crammed into my small livingroom

Ole' the Day

My wife is begging for patacon, which requires very ripe plantains.  Anyone have a good source on that?  I tend to have to buy them and wait forever for them to ripen up.  I guess I need to check out the Mexican grocery store.

Baby backs are on the docket. Mac n' cheese, baked beans and some fresh veg will complete the meal. Gotta hit the farmer's market in a bit.

Having company tonight, so today will be a lot of cleaning the house and preparing. Although I need to run to the homebrew store so might hit Barley Forge Brewing for lunch which is next door.

Menu tonight of tri tip, asparagus with hollandaise, roasted red potatoes, and grilled pineapple with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Not sure I'll turn on the TV. After last night, I'm just too angry to watch.

That was one effective fake hand off on the read option. There was not a single Owl up that left side of the field.
