A Bollman For Your Thoughts? SOC 11/10/18

Woke up to it being COLD.  The dog's water was frozen, the faucet was frozen, and the space heater was chugging along.  The dogs themselves seem completely impervious to any change in temperature and zoomed around like mad as always.  Maybe they will calm down.

Fellas, it's a great day for some chili.  May have to hit up the store to find the odds and ends to put in said chili.  We'll see if the beans are marked down.

Lots of everything on the line today.
OSU, Michigan, still in playoff mix and East division mix.  OSU must win to still have chance at both.
Maryland is 5-4 and plays Hoosier today.  But they finish with OSU and PSU, so a win today is their best shot for a bowl.
Indiana is 4-5 but finish with Michigan and Purdue.  They need two wins and today is their best shot.
Northwestern is in the driver's seat for the West.  Iowa must win today to have a shot. Wisconsin and Purdue also have a chance and needs wins.
Illinois and Minnesota are both 4-5. Minny has Purdue, Northwestern, Wiscy.  Illinois has Nebraska, Iowa, NW.

Plus all those game I listed outside the conference can impact the playoffs.

Heck of a fun day for it to be cold outside and all warm and footbally inside.

A whopping 14 degrees here in Omaha this morning.  Heading to Lincoln shortly.  Glad we have seats in the club level.  I can tell the ladies in our group will head for cover inside.

Man, it's cold here, almost down to freezing.  Bright blue skies though.  Friends down from Cincy visiting, he's a Big Buckeye fan.

We'll be walking around trying not to die of exposure.

Going to reach 78 here today, but today is the rescheduled trip up to the apple orchards at 4000 ft, so at least we'll get a little taste of the cold. By which I mean "under 60" lol

[GopherRock]

It's a balmy 10 degrees here in the Twin Cities. Pulling the pork shoulder we put in the slow cooker last night, then going to throw some buckets.

In grand rapids Michigan today visiting my parents. 28° and very Highwinds plus lots of snow on the ground. As I said back in September a team that can pass but can’t run is not going to do well in November

Chili is on, hope it cooks well into the OSU game.  Today's chili is brought to you by Aldi's, specifically aldi's country beef ribs.  I'm pretty sure they ain't ribs, but not entirely sure what they are.  I threw some sausage in the pot, too, because I cooked it for the girl's this morning and had a few links left over.  Other ingredients - tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, onions, jalapenos, chili powder, and cumin.  Sadly no beans, but hopefully the tomatoes will piss off the chili purists.

Also god damn figured out I had a small cut on my finger while dicing up the jalapenos.  Youch.

Serves ya right for putting all that nonsense in your "chili", and for even considering beans. Next time you'll know better.

Awake 3 hours ago, still another hour before kickoffs. Counting the days until I move back West and can roll out of bed to Big Ten and SEC games already on.
