Football Finale
Well this weekend was the Championship game for my fantasy football league and to say that The Vegeenas lost is an understatement. They got DESTROYED. The game was pretty much over after Tiki Barber scored 42 points on Saturday night so I didn't even bother following it on Sunday. The final was 145-66 I think. I am still proud of myself that I finished second in the league, considering this was my first season. The best part is that I won $75...well, actually just $40 because I never put up my money at the beginning of the season. The other downside is that one other person hasn't paid yet so I've been forced to collect my winnings from them as punishment. Oh well, it's still $40..if I ever get it.In other football news LSU plays Notre Dame tonight in the Sugar Bowl!! Very exciting!! Everyone that I've heard is predicting that LSU is going to win which makes me nervous...I like being the underdog. I don't want LSU to get hyped up too much.
As an unfortunate distraction from the Sugar Bowl, Nick Saban accepted the coaching job at Alabama today. I don't want to be pissed about this, but I am. I mean, rationally I know that Saban doesn't have any loyalty to LSU, to him it's just another job...who cares. But he lead LSU to a national championship which was a huge deal, especially to people who have been following LSU all of their lives. Saban left to take a job in the NFL...that's fine...I understand exploring other opportunities, but then to turn around two years later and take another college job, in the SEC, at ALABAMA...it just feels like a stab in the back. Once again, I know this is irrational, and my main fear is probably that he'll bring AL back and they'll start beating LSU again. It also makes me mad that two weeks ago he emphatically said that he had no interest in the AL job, just like he said about the Miami job when he was at LSU, but then they throw bags of money at him and he changes his mind. Coaches need to learn to just shut their mouths when asked questions like that...it just makes the decisions they make later look suspicious.
OK, done with the ranting, I'm over it...
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!
