RIP U of A...
The Sun Devils win 70-7 vs Arizona.  Damn.  That's worse than cancelling the game, isn't it?  
Fun Fact:  Arizona had more first downs than ASU.
Fun Fact 2:  Arizona lost the turnover battle 0-7.  I don't think I've ever seen that before.

not sure what I'll be eating today, but.........

there's a bit of the white stuff on the ground this morning, so....

I have a shot of Baileys in my coffee this morning

I've invited a couple fellow Husker fans over for the game.

If one of them attends I'll probably simmer some sausages in beer.

Unfortunately, the other friend is in the hospital with COVID.  Concerning.  He was still texting yesterday afternoon.  I guess that's a good sign.

This is the day we normally have our big Christmas Egg Nog party.  60-80 people over the course of 4 hours.  A couple dozen kids running around.

This year, it'll be 4 couples and our kids, the same couples we've been basically "podding" with since May.  

But the menu is the same-- smoked pork tenderloin with jalapeno chutney, scalloped taters, hors d'oeurves of brie with roasted garlic on French bread, vegetables with various dressings, hot apple cider (spiked with rum or Tuaca if you like), and of course, Uncle George's Famous Egg Nog.

I'm in the hospital right now as well, but I'm not the patient. I sent my dad here by squad last night after my mom called. I went over and he was having trouble breathing. He has advanced dementia and a history of heart disease so I called the squad.

I was here most of the night and just got back. The Cardiologist will be here sometime today so hopefully then I can find out what happened. Right now I'm confused. He was short of breath and at least one cardiac enzyme was elevated but his EKG, blood Oxygen, and other indicators were normal.  I'll find out soon, hopefully.

Sounds like the players said "why not promote the interim?" and the president got into all that. 

Logan isn't super close to the LDS epicenter in Salt Lake, but it ain't far either. That'll get you canned real quick in that state.

The original plan for today's menu was to have burgers and try out homemade fries made on a new air fryer.

At this point, given the situation, it might end up being dry cereal even if I do get home.

Egg nog keeps fine in the fridge. I never thought about aging it until Alton Brown did a special on it.  It mellows out with age, but also loses some of its body.  I like it both ways, but when we end up with a little extra at the end of the season, I like to hold onto it so I can do a "vertical" with it the next year.

Tender loin is something i wouldn't smoke because
A) I'm not very good at the smoker
B)Tenderloin is tasty/tender on its own and the smoke wouldn't enhance it's flavor - to me

The recipe is probably not on the recipe thread.  My i s c & aggie wife makes the chutney, I'll have to check with her.  She makes it a couple different ways, sometimes she uses cranberries, sometimes peaches, along with the jalapenos.  I think she adapted the recipe from one that used mangos, and that would probably  be really tasty too.

And bbq-smoked pork tenderloin is wonderful, the smoke definitely enhances the flavor.  It's actually my favorite preparation of this protein by FAR.

When I cook it, I dial in the pit at 225, using pecan if I have some, otherwise post oak which I always have around.  I slather the outside in yellow  mustard and then apply the dry rub liberally.  The rub is the same as my pork spare rib rub, which is 1/2 Bolner's Fiesta Pork Rub, and 1/2 Montreal steak seasoning.  Smoke at 225 until internal temp reaches ~140, which is somewhere between 1-2 hours typically, obviously depends on the size of the tender.

I've never tried eggnog. At least not since I was a youngling. I bought some this year, and some brandy to go along with it. But I haven't been brave enough to pull the trigger.

the guy that runs the golf course does boneless pork loin on the Big Green Egg regularly - at least once a week

easy and VERY good - makes sammiches that are killer at the turn or after your round.

don't need the low and slow to render fat, there's not much.  But with a little smoke flavor, it's much better than from an oven or a crockpot

I grew up hating eggnog, all I'd ever had was the storebought kind. 

When I started dating my now-wife, her family had a Christmas tradition of homemade eggnog, and despite my protests, she convinced me to try it.  Saying the experience was "transformative" probably isn't over-selling it by much.  I couldn't believe how delicious and fresh it was.  And I'll be clear, her German family insists on making it VERY boozy.  The kids are only allowed a tiny taste of this stuff.

The difference between storebought and homemade is like night and day, it's really two entirely different beverages.  But there are plenty of people that really like the storebought stuff too.  My older brother has always loved it, in fact I'm the only one in my family that didn't like it.

Exactly, it cooks fast and there's no fat to render.  I also only cook it to 140, or maybe even 137 or so, with the carryover expected to get it up to 142-145 or so.  It stays really juicy that way.  As it gets past 150 it dries out really quickly.

I think the FDA even finally lowered their safety recommendation from 160, to 145, if I recall correctly.

Well it has a ton of booze in it, maybe that's why?

A "vertical" is a reference to a thing craft-beer drinkers do.  For beers that age well, you put back at least one per year, of the same style.  So you might get a 2017 Russian Imperial Stout and save it, then you buy the 2018 version from the same brewery and save it, then the  2019 version, and finally in 2020, you buy the current offering.  Then you open them all, pour them side by side, and sample then sequentially.  The point is to see how the age has affected the beer.

I was kind of joking about doing it with eggnog, since there's only two years' worth, but it is interesting to compare them side by side.

Are we all really just confining ourselves to our own small domains, streaming Mandalorian and living for whatever original content Netflix pushes? This isn't as dire as the 2021 depicted by Philip K Dick in "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" (Blade Runner), but, still...time to start posting photos of "my" Klonopin and Lexapro like all the Gen Z gals do across social media?

Wow, I guess I don't understand that rule.

PSU is lined up for a punt. PSU entire line "shifts", the center moves the ball. The trio of back guys rush the line, the punter rushes the line like he is going to take a snap. MSU thinks it's a live play and touches a PSU player.

PSU starts cheering like they drew the opposing team offsides? And gets it.

Iowa up 28-7 on a long TD run; this after twice stuffing Wisconsin's drives inside the red zone. It's clear Iowa really studied Northwestern's success against the Badgers and game-planned accordingly by selling out to relentlessly stop the run and forcing Mertz to throw 35 times so far. Mertz can't shoulder a game, as especially evident by that last, awful interception in the endzone:

Herbie is saying that North Carolina will be the best ACC team not in the CFP (because Clemson and ND will both be there) and they will play highest non CFP B1G or SEC team. He projected that team to be Florida if they don't beat bama or A&M if Florida does win.

I think the secret we've learned about Herbie over the years is that he reacts a little extra spicy to what he sees at that exact moment. Like, he does some stuff well, but he gets swept up in what's happening at that exact moment. He'll say something weird and different tonigh.

The Big Ten question is interesting. We mostly agree OSU is the main name. The Bucks right now have a second-best win of 3-5 Rutgers or 3-5 PSU. They'll end up with wins against 6-2 NW and 7-1 or 6-2 IU. There's a case for it, boosted by what the think OSU is, a case against, given what 6-0 is and what the 6-0 is. 

On the other hand, we don't decide for another week, so the picture will look different. We'll just have to see.

Mullen might be a good coach, jury is out on that I think, but it's possible, but his "attitude" is not what I think is appropriate, in many ways.

They just lost their second game, the playoff SHOULD be irrelevant as a consideration for them now, even if somehow they upset Bama (they won't).  Coaches do better, I think, when they use boring coach speak and don't comment on stuff like this, and don't have players losing the game by throwing a shoe on the field.

He was directing that prolly at tOSU and maybe USC.The Conferences mandated the schedules and to follow certain Virus protocol.Hence no fans in the stands.But perhaps he was taking a flyer on the belief they'd get in with 2 losses because it was an "SEC loss".Considering who UF lost to that wouldn't apply.But IMO one has to concede any contenders coming out of the Big !0,Big12,PAC 12 for the CFP would have to be undefeated.

I feel really bad for the Badger defense.

Offense is a mess. 4th string center. Top two WR out. Top RB out. No chance they could have won. Tough game to watch.
Ya,it started out so promissng didn't know that many starters were out.Well if there's a season to kiss off this would be it.Hopefully Mertz can come together for the program he showed flashes early on

Yes.    They fought hard and their defense held their own.   Weird season.

Mullen might be a good coach, jury is out on that I think, but it's possible, but his "attitude" is not what I think is appropriate, in many ways.



I think we can safely say he’s a good coach. A great, get you to the highest level coach? Probably not, but he’s on the short list for best offensive coaches alive. 

But he is a magnificent shit and a jerk. This has been apparent for a while, but you only get so many points for being nice.

Spurrier could be a jerk, but he was hilariously so.  Mullen isn't funny, he's just a jerk, IMHO.  I hope Bama knocks them into the Middle Ages frankly.

UGA can now "claim" to be East co-champions.  yay.

Oh, it's kind of known. He was apparently so arrogant that he blew a Miami interview a few years back. He put his name in for every job and had to wait. He went 19-7 in two years at Miss State, wanted desperately to leave and had to wait two more years for when he was a third choice. He nearly started a fight, acted like a jackass and then came out in a halloween costume for the press conference. And there was the Jeffery Simmons mess.

And here's the thing, I assume most CFB coaches are some level of jerk. He's on the high end. But I also think he's a hell of a coach. Low effort evaluator and decent, not-great recruiter, but he might be the best offensive mind alive. He is so, so good on that front.

Steve was a jerk with charm. Dan at time has the abrasiveness of a billow pad. But he's quite a coach. Usually a questionable DC hire is a problem, Dan won 80 percent of his games with the guy. (Ironically, Richt went 36-18 with Grantham with 2-3 solid to good defenses in four years, then the bottom fell out that last year)

so not sure how long they stay with Frost but the Gophers were short a lot of "starters" today but the back ups played well.  not sure why Frost plays two QB's.  I thought  Martinez did a great job getting out of the pocket and make things happen.  i thought we would see more plays with either QB running and scrambling
the Huskers will stay with Frost at least a couple more seasons

the first time McCaffrey came in the game it was because Martiniz got dinged.  Of course the playcaller figured the defense would expect McCaffrey to run, so he outsmarter them and had him throw 2 passes.  Obviously the 2nd pass was off target and the TE deflected it to the defense for a pick.  I don't think the 2nd QB played again.

Martinez had 15 rushing attempts, more than any other back.  I'd have rather seen the senior back Mills get more carries.  I'd have liked to seen more rushing attempts and fewer passes.  Especially the 2 throws by McCaffrey.  29 pass attempts way too many against that defense.

As they should,he just didn't forget how to coach.At UCF he couldn't swing a dead cat with out hitting a couple dozen prospects

I think the head coach, the O-coordinator/WR coach, and the QB coach are smart enough.

Gotta get the O-line much better.  Gotta find RBs

Needs smarter players

the defense???  Gonna need much more talent/playmakers

Needs smarter players

I think he plans his newsworthy takes.  He's very comfortable and friendly with the Gator press.  He's also coy about why players are out until after the game is played.  I think he's one of those people who want to keep the program in the news, even if its for a comment like "we shouldda played less games."  It gets articles written about him and the program that wouldn't have been written otherwise.
Spurrier just had a sarcastic sense of humor.  He wasn't as calculated, simply being who he is.

He's an interesting mix:  arrogant, sarcastic, religious, hokey, and willing to poke his rivals.  70 years old, working a nordic track with his shirt off.  Talk smack, but then score 50 points to back it up. 


The most underrated thing about him was that he always took the blame - he always put it on the coaches....even if it was during an insult to a player.  He once told a kid that messed up that it wasn't his fault he messed up, it was Spurrier's own fault for putting him out on the field.
But to the press, it was always, "we gotta coach 'em up better."

He's got poor grammar.  Maybe that helps him in his job.
He should have said "fewer games."

Sure he was charming. He was funny and filled notebooks. In a sport where people try to say nothing, he always said something. 

Didn't charm UGA fans, but there's a reason I know his cracks from the mid-90s.
