The Coffee House

[limr]

Wow, Arkansas is up on Mississippi State! But it's only halftime; they still have plenty of time to lose.

And my Vols are up by a TD at halftime, against USC Jr. (South Carolina). Dobbs is looking pretty good at QB--I'm starting to kinda hope our original starter, Worley, isn't able to come back this season. I hate that he's hurt, because he really did "give it his all" every game...but this Dobbs kid just has more "all" to give.

But right now...we just NEED an SEC win! And then another. And then another.

Well, Gators won!! We may have lost our own homecoming to Missouri but who the hell cares because WE BEAT GEORGIA!!!

Well it is good and chilly here in New York and I had to buy a new red touque.

Shot is noisy - I had to use the little micro camera on the laptop. This is as close as I get to a selfie until I lose a bunch of el-bees.

Nice touque! And do I see blue eye, hmmmmmmmm?

Thank you, and yes you do. I got (at least) two pairs of recessive traits: blue eyes & curly hair.
I've never heard a "ski cap" referred to as a touque - thank you for expanding my vocabulary.

I believe 'touque' is mostly a Canadian and very northern US term for ski cap. It's also the gift for the 5th day of Canadian Christmas, according to Bob and Doug McKenzie


I have all kinds of recessive genes, too! My hair is wavy enough to be bordering on curly, and my eyes are green.

 

[snowbear]

Goodnight, lovely ladies. I'm going to call it quits for the night. I'll see you in the morning.

Anybody home?

 

[Gary A.]

I am so full. Dinner was eaten at Naples Ribs. Mmmmhhh good.

Something WRONG with a team that schedules another SEC team for their homecoming game, anyway. ;-)

Win another game, and maybe you all can be saddled with that coach for another year!! ;-)

Well.
There was certainly no keeping calm in the last quarter of THAT game. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to the end of the game before I had to get to the ER. I'm STILL not sure my heart has recovered.

That was a wild last two minutes and OT. It actually brought tears to my eyes, but that may have been from the heart attack as much as anything.

Oh, and as an extra bonus: We actually rendered The Old Ball Coach (Spurrier) speechless. He refused to take questions at the press conference and said, "I don't need to take any questions. You guys watched it, and I need to just get out of here."

I do actually feel for him a bit; the Gamecocks have had a similar meltdown the last three games in a row.

Blue eyes, and RED curly hair.
I'm ALL about the recessive gene.

Not to mention something wrong with Missouri being in the SEC in the first palce

I still want Spurrier back! I didn't see the game yesterday but it sounds like that man's visor must have been thrown to the ground about 56 times in those last two minutes and OT.

Lenny, THIS should give you a pretty good idea of Spurrier's mood the last few minutes:

You got THAT right!

Seeing as how the guy is almost 70, I think it may be a bit of a pipe dream to hope he comes back to Florida. He was always highly entertaining, win or lose, though.

Good morning, everyone. I have awoken from my Benedryl induced coma and I have my coffee. I am almost ready to face the world, or at least my tiny part of it.

I didn't realize the time change was this morning, so I guess it is well into afternoon for Marija.

Sharon: I used to have a few, randomly placed red hairs when I was younger, even in my beard. From my Celtic roots, I suppose.

 

[limr]

Oh yeah, he was lots of so much unhappy.

 

[limr]

Spurrier, not Charlie, that is.

Morning Charlie!
