The Sports Report
This weekend was the best sports weekend I've had in a looong time. Some of you may recall the Tennessee debacle from last season in which LSU gave up a 21 point lead and eventually lost to them AT HOME. This year we played at Tennessee in a must win game for both teams. The game started at 3:30...we watched the beginning but had to leave for a wedding reception in New Jersey at about 4:45 (more on that tomorrow). LSU was up 7-0 when we left. Needless to say there was no college football talk at the reception so when we got home at about 12:30 a.m. we had no idea what had happened in the game so we went downstairs to watch the rest. With 2:00 minutes to go in the first half Tennessee pulls ahead 10-7. At this point Andy and I just look at each other like, this game is over. Ridiculous. Unfortunately without being surrounded by rabid LSU fans we've become a little bit of fair weather fans. Also, when you're in the National Championship hunt every year, going 10-2 is a little disappointing. We've watched LSU fall apart twice this season against good teams so Andy decided he was going to save us the agony and look at the score. He walks back to the sofa from the computer with a smug look on his face, trying not to smile. He sits down and I was like, what, what, do they win?? which obviously I can tell by the look on his face. We start watching the second half, Jamarcus throws an interception and TN runs it back for a touchdown. I was like, uh, can you go check the score again because I don't think there's any way LSU can pull this out.Andy finished watching the game but I fell asleep so we watched the second half again on Sunday morning. And they did in fact win even though I didn't believe it until we actually saw the end of the game. It was an awesome game but I'm glad that I didn't watch it live..there would have been a lot of pacing, cursing, and throwing things.
On the soccer front, Manchester United won in decisive fashion, 3-0 and Chelsea lost so it was a really good weekend for Andy.
The Saints won again...maybe one day I'll actually get to watch a game.
The Vegeenas KILLED yesterday!! They posted 175 points...you read that right...175 points. The other team was so scared they didn't even show up. The guy I was playing had an illegal lineup so scored 0 points. It wasn't as much fun since I wasn't really playing against anyone but scoring that many points was still cool.

he had 19 players on his team but we're only allowed 18. I calculated the points and he would have had 63 points. So I beat him by over 100. (insert evil laugh)
Apparently Nick is too busy gloating to blog.
You're the commissioner Joe, do whatever you want.
i also noticed there was no mention of a&m football. tough loss.
