1.) Well *that* didn't go as expected (sigh). Once every ten years, right?
2.) But hey ... it was 64 and sunny, so ... there was that for the fans.
3.) And hey ... everybody loves a parade, so ... there was *that* for the fans as well (PS ... happy homecoming, yo)!
4.) It was a good run ... that whole not letting the opponent score in the first quarter thing we had going.
5.) Of course, our thoughts go out to the injured NU player (and word to the wise, our QB is a big guy ... so you might want to reconsider hitting him so directly like that).
6.) According to the interwebs, that N logo has been around since the early eighties ... but I don't know how many times I looked at the screen and thought it was a purple Z.
7.) I wonder if the opposing teams play Cher's "Shoot you down Jesse James" to get riled up before the game? Probably not very football-y, come to think of it.
8.) It was a very clothing-focused broadcast today ... that one hit literally had the guy knocked out of one shoe ... and the announcerman said that one of the guys was on the sidelines "not wearing pants" ... and then the controversial play that wouldn't have been controversial if the players weren't wearing white shoes.
9.) At the very least ... I still get to say my customary ATTA BOY FICKEN!
In closing, thanks to the schedulers.for making next week a bye ... so that we can recover from today's disappointment ... ah well ... next time there won't be so much QB-under-duress I hope ...
