Football Saturday

Today was spent mainly in cleaning the house. I cleaned the upstairs, getting at least two bedrooms ready for company in the future and making sure the bathroom looked presentable. I had to buy three banker's boxes so I could gather all the dvd boxes in Kate's room boxed up together and the books and cd cases in the study up. Now both rooms look pretty good right now and I wouldn't have a problem with having company up there.

Meanwhile, Cindy was dusting the living room and I ended up doing a lot of vacuuming and vacuuming and vacuuming and moving furniture around and vacuuming again. Now it is around 10:00 and Clemson and Auburn are in overtime and one of the running backs for Auburn just got his clock cleaned by a cornerback. That put Auburn in a 3rd and ten situation and they couldn't connect on the pass into the end zone and now they have settled for a field goal and now Clemson has the opportunity to score a touchdown and win this thing. I am not much of a fan of either of these schools but I do think Clemson is going to win and they just got a first down on the 13 to help make my point. They are now inside the ten, but have a big, fat lineman down on the field. This has been a war of attrition today.

Georgia and Arkansas (Dawgs and Hawgs)was tight in Athens today. Arkansas had the advantage most of the game, but Georgia caught them, with Arkansas taking the lead at the end, with Georgia throwing a pass into the end zone at the end and one of the receivers just missed catching the winning pass on a jump ball.

They have taken the lineman off on a golf cart. Third and five. They can make a first down. But no, they missed the touchdown on third down. Now kick a field goal and we go again. There was penalty, clicking Clemson back five yards and the field goal kicker missed it. Auburn wins. I have a good number of Auburn graduates for friends, very few Clemson graduates. I guess I will be glad for my friends. Until the end of the season, when the red and black will have to take the blue and orange out.

Well, no more football tonight. Cindy has allowed me all my football allotment for the day. We will be watching a movie until bedtime. Of course, I rarely care much about the west coast games anyway.
