1.) So I was on vacation ... and between hotels ... and I was afraid that I might not be able to see this game, and that turned out to be true.
2.) EXCEPT ... I did find the game on the radio, and I got to LISTEN to it instead, all old-fashioned like.
3.) After struggling through a few different stations that kept on fading in and out (an old-fashioned problem for sure), I settled on AM radio and WLBR 1270 (the station of my youth).
4.) Plus ... it was homecoming on campus ... and I was coming home to my alma mater (LVC) for homecoming too.
5.) I have to say, though, that I might want to listen to all the games moving forward, because they are much more exciting when you have to imagine them based on what the announcerpeople are saying.
6.) It also meant that I got to listen to the kick off show and the preshow, what with being a captive audience, which is how I learned about Coach FRANKLIN's four core values: positive attitude, work ethic, competition and sacrifice.
7.) Speaking of old-fashioned things like listening to the game on the radio, I do wonder how we're going to continue when our Linebacker U is now as big as a one room school house due to injuries.
8.) Ummm ... not to get too cocky, but could it be that we are now the spoilers for unbeaten teams who come visit us?
9.) I don't care what anyone else says. *My* player of the week is once again Trace MCSORLEY, because, as one of the announcerpeople said, he has the heart, the head, the arm and the feet -- a perfect QB combination!
In closing, thanks to Dietz and Watson for sponsoring the pre-show (now if you could just work on the texture of your off-brand lebanon bologna product) ... and here's to resting up (and maybe healing a bit) during next week's bye.
