Let's say for a moment that you're trying to catch up on sleep after a 13-hour work day on a Saturday morning. And let's say that well before the acceptable hour to call a person, someone you weren't even friends with in high school sends you a text to tell you he's getting off the train in South Bend and just wants to tell you so you'll be jealous. And let's say you're not jealous of a person you barely know going to the Notre Dame v Navy game, particularly since the score of that game is currently Navy 14, Notre Dame 0.
This is why I would like there to be a way to block people from calling you or sending you annoying texts at 8:30 a.m. Knowing me, that already exists and I just didn't know about it.
Whatever, all this is to say that Notre Dame is currently losing to Navy, and that is straight embarrassing for Notre Dame and all its opponents this season...
In other news, today's football just isn't that good. BC has a bye, Notre Dame is losing to Navy, and almost every team that matters is playing a team that doesn't matter. I think one of the only good games today is probably Ohio State v Penn State, and I believe that the middle America teams are highly overrated right now.
I mean, I watched Iowa this morning (after being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an annoying high school classmate) and they had four turnovers in the first half AGAINST NORTHWESTERN. It was so ridiculous that I went to Whole Foods to do some secret shopping (and ended up spending like $100 on a bunch of stuff that doesn't go together, and a lunch bag -- this is my life). Now I look at scores on ESPN and am informed that Iowa, ranked #4 in the country, has lost to Northwestern. I'm sorry, what? I recognize every team has bad days, and yes, Iowa played with a backup freshman QB. But the #4 team in the nation should have a backup quarterback better than the Wildcats' starting quarterback.
Northwestern had 239 yards of offense. Not in the first half, no. In the whole game. This is a team that lost to Syracuse this season. Uncool.
Other than that, I haven't got much to say just now. However, I'm calling the upset -- Stanford will beat Oregon today.

There is something that blocks calls and texts at 8:30am. It's called the off button.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your back Miss Sheila. I missed you. Also, 13 hours is not a long day. Then again, the fact that I think that way, is why I quit my job.
13 hours is more than half a day. And it's a long day when you get paid what I get paid. If I made more money I might put up with 55 hour weeks.
