I started to post.  I had an hour so I researched two separate axes to grind and had all the facts and quotes at hand to post.

Then I thought to myself - eh, who cares?

We're all in the same boat.  Why nitpick?

I can't see you getting all worked up 320.
Moreso the sleeping part.

when I was growing up there was an easy chair in the den that my Dad claimed

he would be awake one moment and fast asleep the next

that used to amaze me.  How could anyone fall asleep in the middle of the day in a chair?

and this was while there was a very exciting football or baseball game on TV

Well now I understand how this happens and one day BC so will you

taking a short nap during the day in a recliner is one of life's little golden nuggets of pleasure

you will one day discover

Supposed to be cool and rainy during the game Saturday morning.  That would normally tend to hinder a passing team and favor a running team.


Unfortunately we're neither a good passing team nor a good running team, so I don't think we're getting any help from the weather.

I think a rainy day favors the passing team in that the receiver knows where hes going and the def dosent

on a slick field that one fact should give the edge to the offense

anyway it sounds good

I've had a nap in a recliner before.  Maybe 2-3 times in my life.  Likely because I was worn out.  It was nice.

I doubt I'll ever graduate to recliner napping on a daily basis.  I would worry about all the life that's passing me by while I just lie there waiting for diabetes and/or cancer.

WVU always tends to be a bunch of lightweight Florida speedsters that were too small to get picked up by the SEC or ACC.  I'll take the bad weather, given defense is our best shot anyway.

And then hope maybe we can run over them a few times when we have the ball.

I'm generally an honest person.

For one thing, it's easier to just tell the truth and accept the consequences than to try to remember some story.  For another reason, there's nothing in my life worth lying about.  I don't hold any state secrets.  I'm not cheating on my wife.  The facts in my life can't bother anyone and if my opinions step on somebody's toes that's just too bad.  They're still my opinion.

But when I fall asleep somewhere besides in my bed, I'm a different man.  I'm a stinking liar.

I'll be sitting on the couch with the missus, watching some insipid Hallmark movie and start nodding off.  She nudges me and say "wake up," and I"m like, "I am awake."  

Next thing I know I wake up in the middle of the night all alone in the living room and I wonder, "why the heck did I lie?"  What's so embarrassing about falling asleep?

But my sleepy mind will do it every time.

Are you falling asleep?  Nope.  Not me.

I don't mind a nice nap in the afternoon, now that I'm a bit older

especially after opening up the bar on Saturday morning - by 3 or 4 o'clock and some food in my belly, I can get a bit sleepy

but, I'm quite disciplined about falling asleep in the recliner at night.  Hate waking up a 2 or 4 in the morning in the chair, so I'm very good about getting off to bed if I start dozing in the evening

I sleep pretty well at night, but seems like I get a fantastic night's sleep when I am sleeping in a strange bed.  I don't get it.

Hotel room?  Ahh yes, I'm out like a light.  Visiting family?  I'm out before my head hits the pillow.  Not sure why I sleep so well in other beds.

But then I pay for it in the morning, cuz my shower at the house rules.  I hate not having my 5x5 shower, with hard water blasting on me at about 120 psi.

Everyone else's shower sucks.  And that goes double for hotel showers.

It's Thursday afternoon and here comes that feeling.  Again.

Yep, that's right, that feeling that we are going to win...  But why not this time?  When have the breaks gone our way this season?  A broken clock is right twice a day.  Even a blind squirrel finds a nut.  And other bullsheet like that.

We can win this game.  We will win this game.  WVU hasn't even played OU yet.  Their numbers are padded.  Our numbers have been minimized.  All we have left is Tech after this game.  We've already run the gauntlet.

WVU is not all that.  I think we can beat them with big boy football.  We will miss Holton Hill, but we got 3 picks last week without him.  Although our overall defense somewhat faltered last week, I'm going to count on that being our down game.

Texas has showed basically zero signs of a run game.  Something (insanity) tells me that we will run the ball Saturday.  Our defense will show up.  Our kicker will connect when needed.

Texas wins Saturday dammit.

Hope you're right.



But I suspect we're just playing Charlie Brown to WVU's Lucy.
