Football News

As I've talked about before, I am very superstitious about football in terms of where I watch the games, what I wear while I watch, etc... and I think I've finally figured out the pattern for this season. It's probably too little too late but at least I have established that there is a pattern. We can't watch the games live at our apartment. We've watched live at bars and they've won, on tape at our apartment and they've won, and not watched at all and they've won, but the two times that we watched the games live at our apartment they've lost. I was also scrapbooking during both of those games so that could be another variable.

This past Saturday we hung out at Chuck and Christina's before heading to a bar in their neighborhood to watch the game. Well, I watched the game. Andy spent a good bit of time outside playing ping-pong. He seemed to think that a 28-14 lead going into the fourth quarter was enough but, as a life long LSU fan I know better. When I go somewhere to watch a game, I want to watch the game, not fart around. This is the exact opposite of when I watch a game at home. If I'm at home, I have to be doing something else at the same time, hence the scrapbooking. If I'm at a bar I just want to watch the game. I was hoping the ping-pong was over when Christina hit the ball into the outdoor fireplace but unfortunately they had another one. Of course the LSU win was tempered by the fact that Tennessee lost when we really needed them to beat Arkansas. Thanks for nothing Tennessee.

In fantasy news, the Vegeenas beat the second place Suspicious Package this weekend. We are now on a five game winning streak. The last time we played each other it was the first week of the season and I won by three points because a glitch in the scoring counted punts returned for a touchdown twice. We had a big league meeting two weeks ago and voted to only change the scores going forward so I keep the win. I'm firmly in second place now record-wise but I have scored the most points in the league. Thank you Ladanian. Next week I'm up against the first place team, Cactus Maximus.
