Never did have the Blue Bell.
Watched the Orville on TV.
Now watching F1 Mexico.
Then it'll be lights out.

Go Tide!

Trojans Play Arizona at 7:45.

The Tide remains undefeated but LSU was on their game last night. Never had a chance to see any of the USC game but I did see they won this morning. All they were talking about last night was Georgia being number one, over Alabama. It's going to be funny when Auburn beats them next weekend. Won't knock them out of the East but it'll take some of the wind out of their sails.

The whole sleeping in on the DST switch is a joke when you have kids.

So...anyone want a biscuit?

Or maybe a homemade link of maple sage breakfast sausage?

Hosers! Been a busy few days. Have some things to get done this morning then I’m going to hunker down with something in the crock pot and a relaxing day at home. Ran all day yesterday from one thing to the next. Was on the go from 6am through 10pm doing both chores and fun stuff so I’m a little beat today. Set the clocks back last night which always throws me off for a few weeks afterward.

If anyone is in VT, check out ABC 22 Burlington beginning next month, my goddaughter will be the weekend sports anchor/reporter.

Morning, Dave.

Morning, hosers.

It's easy, easy like Sunday morning 'round these parts. Having coffee, chillin' with the kitties.

A good Sunday morning to you all, hosers. I woke up at what the clock was telling me was 6:20 am, but my body knew it was really 7:20. Up and out the door for my morning walk. Encountered no one, always a plus.

Temps have been a little warmer the last couple of days, but this should be over by Wednesday. Leaves are starting to change in the back yard, lovely to stare at.

This day has lazy Sunday vibes already.

So many nice pictures of the Friday concert ... I really have a hard time to decide which are the best ... here is the bass player:

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Last night Gary watched one of the most horribly long football games of all time. Firstly, a 7:45 kick-off time, (screw you Tv people ... this is college football not strip bar by the airport. This is about collegiate spirit, student scholars, sportsmanship, Trojans on horses ... not money. :cool-98:

)

The game lasted four hours. Largely to the refs dropping flags before, during and after every jammin' play. Gary does not remember more penalties in a game. Each penalty required to be reviewed ... In the Second Half, the refs had more air time than the quarterbacks. Between the penalties and the reviews, the refs simply ruined the game and destroyed all the momentum and rhythm of both teams.

Gary had tickets, but Mary Lou caught a bit of a bug so thankfully, we watched the game from home. Otherwise we would have rolled into our driveway well into Sunday.

Even the crowds got into the penalties.

From Sports Illustrated Max Meyers:

" ... I’d be hard-pressed to discuss this game without the dumpster fire that was the Pac-12 referees. After a solid first half, the refs took over in the third quarter. Whether it was stopping play to discuss a possible penalty that they wouldn’t end up calling or reviewing a targeting that clearly didn’t happen, the zebras ruined the flow of the game. At one point in the third, there were five booth reviews in three minutes of game clock, and two of them were incorrect targeting calls. The mild-mannered Clay Helton was whistled for an unsportsmanlike conduct after running onto the field pleading with the refs to review a potential Tate fumble. Sure enough, the original ruling of Tate being down was overturned, but the penalty was regardless upheld. USC was flagged for a bizarre taunting penalty after a play that would have resulted in an Arizona fourth down, but kept the drive alive instead. Pac-12 refs needlessly turn exciting football games into a time-draining experience, and it’s a major issue that Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott needs to address going forward because of how much it hurts the product."

Gary is still upset about the refs.

Any time you’re discussing the officiating instead of the plays is not good.

In the first half, SC dominated Arizona. They contained Tate to about 50 yards and ran at will over the Cats, (not around). They would have killed them in the first half if a 60+ yard scoring run by Jones, wasn't called back and a stupid Darnold pass wasn't intercepted in the endzone (SC was 2nd and goal on their 2 yard line).

In the Second Half Arizona made some significant adjustments unleashing Tate. Gary think Tate run up about 250 yards in the second half. Between the Arizona adjustments and the refs, Arizona tied the game in the fourth quarter 35-35. Then, the normally inconsistent Darnold got consistent, scoring two easy TD's. The refs ran out of air-time, so they quit tossing their flags and SC sat on the ball to run out the remaining minutes on the clock ... thankfully. (Gary thinks that Clay Helton wanted to get to bed.) The refs ruined what would/should have been an exciting slugfest between two talented teams. The refs turned the game into a feature about themselves and not about football.
