Title: And the Gophers Will Surround the Lion (SOC 11/9/19)
Post by: MaximumSam on November 09, 2019, 06:21:51 AM
Winter has arrived in Columbus.  It's 26 degrees and the heat is running and the dogs are cold.  More importantly, my wife is working and I have the girls.  One of their little friend's has a birthday party at 1 pm.  This travesty shall not stand.

It is arriving here as well, it's already chilly, but we're headed to a hard freeze shortly, low of 23°F on Tuesday.  I think our lowest last winter was 22°F.

I'm not used to this any more.  Looking forward to the Minny game, I'm quite interested but not hopeful.  I wonder if the Gophers won how far they would move up.  They are ranked low because "they haven't played anyone", so if they beat "someone", would that move them into the top 5?  Nope.

Finally back on the grass at the East River Flats. 30 degrees here in MSP, and looks to be quite nice today.

I'm waiting for an SEC team to be dispatched to the Hoth system in late November. 

That said we've had all kinds of weather at November games since moving outside. Anything from 50 and sunny to 15 and super windy and snowy.

In the 20s here in WV as well. Supposed to get into the 40s by the afternoon. I have nothing planned but watching football all day. We are in that small window where softball is done and basketball hasn’t started yet. Gonna watch as much Penn St-Minnesota as I can but WVU-Texas Tech gets my attention in the noon slot.

Then I’ll settle in LSU-Bama and whatever I can flip to through the afternoon and evening.  Heading out to get some wings to throw in the smoker.

Actually, the only real snow game that's been at the New Brickhouse so far was the Monday night Vikings game in 2010, after the roof of the Metrodome fell in. That was a ton of fun, even though the Vikings got crushed and it ended up being Brett Favre's last game.

We somehow have a symphony tonight at 8 PM.  The wife wants to go even though her surgery is Tuesday (we have to be at the hospital at 5 AM, half hour drive).

She can barely walk, so I will drive and park at the symphony about four blocks from us.  We do have a HDCP thing now.  I hate how those get abused, I'm not going to use it when it's just me driving.

So, I'll miss the Dawgs' game with Mizzou.  Ten PM temperature is predicted to be 41°F here.  MIzzou had a real chance this year to do what Baylor and Minny did, but instead they are 5-3.

This is pretty much my viewing template as well, save for sticking to the Penn St Minnesota game. Driving up the road to my brother’s. I don’t know if he’s grilling or ordering pizza again. Hopefully we open some windows because it’s Southern California with temps not lowering below 60.

Correct I have a former coworker friend that went out on disability - back/neck.He seemed much more distressed at work but drives around and gets in/out of his truck with a lift kit no problem.But he pulls that parking card for convienence all the time.Another friend has the HDCP Card also but only uses it when he drives his son around who's had heart surgery

We had a friend in Cincy whose Dad had a HDCP license plate.  Her dad passed away and she kept the car and the plate even though she walks just fine.

Most of the folks I see in the spaces are just obese.  I understand some can't walk at all, but most would benefit from a bit of perambulation.

Gotta hit the gym this morning, and then watch Purdue @ NU. After that we're taking my FIL out for his birthday to Docent Brewing, followed by dinner at Richard Nixon's favorite Mexican restaurant. I've got the Texas @ Purdue bball game set to record, so I'll watch that as soon as I get home.

Hoping for two Purdue wins today!

I'm lucky when it comes to Xmas gift shopping

My daughters both need money!  Easy, usually a couple little somethings to wrap and put under the tree and then the cash.

I also get something for my ex mother and father in law, good people

and then there's a golf buddy of mine that likes to exchange gifts.  I've told him that it's not cool for dudes, but he won't listen.  He's getting a hard travel case for his clubs this year.

easy

I probably should get my daughter's boyfriend something.  He got a case of Bud heavy out of my stash in the garage last year.  might be the same this season.

Yes, it was a good play, but really? Against Maryland, it just looks weak.

Against PSU, or Wisc, amazing play.

Maryland is a mess.

Maryland fans whining about what this team is doing vs last years, forget that we had to nfl-caliber offensive lineman leave as well as senior leadership, along with Matt's gimmicky offense.

I don't think that PI was nearly as clear as some of you think.  It was an underthrown ball that the receiver had to turn around for.  Plus Winfield was right there for it.  Had it not been a pick....the PI may have been more clear.

That's 19 TDs scored in a row by freshmen. I wonder if that's a record or approaching one?

So, do we conclude that Alabama is mediocre (relatively) having not been tested and losing big?  Or that LSU is a juggernaut as they have been tested now.

If this stands, I'd have to move LSU to #1, not that it matters of course.  Clemson to #3.  I'd probably rank the two Pac teams ahead of UGA (if UGA wins).

Is LSU and OSU that far ahead of the field?

He's done it all year.  
LSU fans poo-poo the Brady angle, giving all the kudos to Burrow, but I'm not buying it.  The difference from last year to this year is night-and-day in terms of play-calling and the overall style of play on the offense.

Yeah, I was meaning to note that LSU has been tested even before this game with UF and Auburn, and perhaps Texas.  Now, presuming they hold on, they have 4 very nice looking wins, one very tough one on the road here.

After this game, they have @ Ole Miss, Arkansas, and A&M.   Eleven of us could beat Arkansas this year.  Maybe the let down trips them at Ole Miss, but I doubt it, and A&M is not scaring anybody much.

They should be 12-0 going to ATL unless Bama manages some huge come back.  Turnovers have obviously been a big factor.

2 things:
a - I'd like to play left tackle or FB for our game vs Arkansas
b - LSU is more likely to score 60 than Bama is to come back.  LSU isn't going to sit on this.

I still might take the Hogs by a point over Rutgers this year.
I recall some awful Illinois teams...depending on what you consider "decent program" that year UCF went winless between successful seasons was bad.  Most of the crap seasons are all crap programs - Oregon St, Vandy, UK, KU, Baylor, etc....

Are comparing UGA with whoever the BigXII's 3rd-best recent program is?  Really?

Well, that would be Texas.

Texas 28 Georgia 21

I wonder if anyone guessed anywhere close to that Bama-LSU score.  I probably would have guessed around 27-24.

The rankings will be interesting.  Minny certainly showed they are not a schedule team, a team that is only 8-0 because of schedule.  I wouldn't drop Penn State all that far, but do they have to be behind Minny?

We'll see how much Minnesota's helmet keeps them from the 'in' crowd of undefeateds.  The herd mentality would be to put them one spot ahead of Penn State, but the helmetocity of the two is so diverse, it makes you wonder.  And it'll be interesting to see if the 2-loss Florida and Auburn teams stay ahead of the Gophers.  


Laziness and herd mentality are strong...but helmet (or lack thereof) may be stronger.

I'm not sure how I'd rank teams today even if I put a ton of thought into it.  PSU went on the road and played a "tough" opponent close at the end.  UGA lost at home to a pretty bad team in 2 OT.  Then you figure UGA has a couple nice wins, PSU has one.

It would be remarkable for a team to jump from 17th to say 8th, but they might (Minny), 9-0 is a something these days.  Baylor has no nice wins at this point.

Beating Iowa is always satisfying. 

I'm getting somewhat resigned to 9-3, considering how good Minnesota's offense is. To some UW fans that's probably a disappointment, but I don't know this Badgers team has the playmakers to be as good at it seemed at the start.

Yep, some of that heard mentality coming into play.

They're season is so interesting. It's four games of playing super even with not that good teams. Then four games of beating backup QBs senseless and running over so-so to bad teams. Then this.

And based on standard poll logic and the tendency to react to the moment, this puts the legitimate sheen on all that.

Fire everyone.  Second game this year we are going to lose because we surrendered a 4th and 16 in the final two minutes.  The defense isn't worth crap
Looking at the highlights, they seemed to pick on the one CB with the WR with 15 letters in his name.  And I'd put the loss on Lewerke, based on what I saw.  First, he got lucky his failure to recover the bad snap-fumble didn't cost them, and then that last INT was atrocious.  It feels like he's been your QB for 6 years now, and he's making that mistake late in a game?

It's been over 24 hours, and I don't think it's sunk in yet. I mean, every time the Gophers have been in a spot to do something like that in my lifetime, they've been unable to come through. Until they did. It's very surreal. 

I completely screamed my voice out. Whatever little was left before the final interception was gone shortly thereafter. I still sound like ten miles of bad road. I wasn't crying, but there were a lot of happy tears being shed. The crowd was as good of a crowd as I've ever seen at a game. 

No rest for the wicked, though. Gophers haven't won at Mordor since 1999, and I'll not believe the Badgers are out of it until the clock reads 0 and the crowd is back on the field parading the Axe around. 

What a day.

The wife's surgery went well.  They excised a substantial mass around her hip called a "pseudo-tumor".  They sent samples to pathology but it almost certainly is benign.  He replaced her ball with a new ceramic coated ball.  She was reacting to the metal fragments being thrown off by her old hip implant.  That was irritating her sciatic nerve and causing part of the problem.  The surgeon said her nerve looked fine and her bone structure was fine.  They did all this with an epidural.

She was up and walking earlier.  They gave her some oxy as some pain was starting up.  She is overnight at the hospital.

So, good news on the wife front.  She's a great gal even if she is a furriner.

Shes says her pain level is zero and she took no oxy today.  That's good news.  She has a walker and a knee brace and is getting around slowly.  This is similar to hip replacement surgery, though it was "hip revision" technically.  She managed a quick shower this morning.  I taped cellophane over the bandage.

So, she is progressing well.  She's a bit "tough" because she seems to have a high pain tolerance.  I'd probably be crying like a baby.
