It’s mainly because I don’t feel like eating the ribs we have in the fridge (and what is wrong with garlic fries? They are fantastic
)
And thanks- I keep hoping I will feel better but…not so much

Poor Colt? Why do you feel sorry for him? He already has celebrity status and is likely to make millions of dollars in the NFL. What is there to feel sorry about? I feel sorry for my blind neighbor…call me crazy.

Macon Braves (RIP)……….Not having Colt McCoy in there is a big reason why Texas had to settle for 2 field goals. I’m sure that they didnt game play McCoy getting hurt on the first possession. Notice how Texas didnt have Gilbert throw the ball on either of those 2 possessions until 3rd down.
.P.a.u.l .L.e.n.t.z

Heath…….I think what Soph meant was that playing for a National Championship is important to Colt McCoy. To work your A$$ off for 4 years only to get hurt at the very beginning of the last game of your career, in the National Championship game, has to be killing McCoy right now.
Soph

Awww, thanks cab. Fries are my weakness.
Heath & tiger, I get that McCoy’s famous, popular and going to make his millions but to get hurt and not be able to play in the biggest game of your career so far? I do feel bad – sucks for him IMO. He doesn’t deserve that.

“I keep hoping I will feel better but…not so much” , I guess Nala and Jim should keep their distance, until you’re better. However, that’s probably like asking a moth to stay away from the fire.
“I agree – garlic fries are yummy.” , Soph, no argument from me. However, we are talking about supper and we are talking about a chef (living at your house).

Texas has no confidence in Gilbert. Run on first, run on second and throw a short pass on 3rd down. 3 possessions in a row with Gilbert in there that this has been the pattern.

Nala seems to have no problem keeping her distance- she is snoring on the bed right now (she will be here when my fries are ready though, no doubt
) and I have yet to get Jim sick so all is good for now
and like I said, I don’t really feel like eating anything big, and certainly not the fantastic ribs (ribs are my weakness…and these are really good)

People don’t deserve to get laid off and lose their house because they can’t pay their bills. Nor does a kid deserve to be born handicap…. in these situations, they don’t have a multi-million dollar contract waiting for them playing a game for a living. I do not feel sorry for McCoy AT ALL.

If Texas doesnt open up the offense, this game will soon become a blowout.
The only logical reason I can see Texas playing this conservative is that they are holding out hope that McCoy will return………and they dont want to risk having Gilbert throwing interceptions.

I get it Heath and I feel really bad for people in those situations. We’ll just agree to disagree b/c I still feel sorry for Colt. In my opinion, just because he has millions waiting for him doesn’t mean I shouldn’t feel bad for him. I don’t know him or anything but I’m sure he’s worked hard to get where he is. Just FYI, I’m not a Texas fan – I honestly don’t care for them.

Brandon—It’s been several years ago now. The Daily Sun was on Watson Blvd just down from the hospital, right next to a CVS back then (don’t know if the CVS is still there or not). I left the Sun a while before they closed and took a job with the Telegraph a while later. They were actually both owned by the same company (the name is slipping my mind at the moment) and the Telegraph just kind of took it over and the offices where the Sun was became where the people working on the Houston/Peach section were based at. Last time I was down that far on Watson (which has been a couple of years ago actually), the building still had the Telegraph sign on the front.

‘Bama has a great team. But honestly, I don’t know that much can be proven tonight, other than the Tide is a lot better than Texas when Texas has a freshman with almost no experience playing quarterback.
I think it would have been a helluva game. But ‘Bama will be national champions, and deserving. Just unfortunate way to finish season.
