Sports Entry Number Three (Roundtable Edition)


i know i shouldn't feel so gloomy about a football game. it isn't even as if i thought alabama would win. i didn't waste time making a prediction for victory through my crimson-colored glasses because in my heart, i didn't believe it. i think i wanted it to be entertaining, though. you would think that someone would have told the team that this was THE game. Yes, you sucked against LSU, but you've sucked ever since you lost prothro, and your coaches weren't good enough to get you through it. But today? Wow. That first quarter was impressive, guys. Pass on first down. 3rd and 15. punt from your endzone three times. way to go. it's like everyone watched your tape from the lsu game but you. sure, you fought hard in the second half. but auburn didn't have to try any more. that was the most boring half of football i have ever seen in my life. you came to a gun fight with a butter knife, and it showed. oh well. just one more loss against a mediocre big 12 or acc team and we can send the golden boy and his cursed and overrated ass on to the nfl and maybe you can build toward a decent year next year. it was a nice tease. 9-0 felt good even though you didn't deserve it. good luck in the cotton bowl or the peach. good riddance.

i need a basketball team to root for. any suggestions? i am going to have a hard time rooting for another badly coached alabama team. the nba, richard hendrix? really? i mean, you thought that was a good idea? who told you? the same guys that were talking up kennedy winston? keep talking on that go phone, kennedy winston. when your minutes run out, maybe you can spend some time wondering what it would have been like to be an all-american this year.

...

if i would have been in your shoes, dude, i think i would have made another choice. are my feelings hurt? yeah, i guess i little bit. i guess i expect every one to act like kiker (of course, it does help me appreciate that there are not very many kiker's in the world.). or like i would like to think i would. not everybody does. good luck to your team. if we play, i will make sure chris thigpen doesn't allow you to score. it's too bad. ...

saturday night live will suck again tonight, won't it?

...this morning was weird. super-weird. not in a bad way. not at all. just weird.

there really isn't anything like a hug from the baby girl.

"night, night daddy."

i can't belive you were at church today. i so thought you would b/c of this post. were you saying you were at the pancake breakfast. we left like 30 min early, so if you were there i probably just missed you. too bad i didn't get to see you.
