Hi there. Some quick thoughts as we head into the weekend but first "upset special" time. Last week was a case of ass whooping. Both Kent State and the Arizona Cardinals got spanked. However there was a lot of bad football last weekend as many big time programs needed that extra scrimmage time before conference play begins by guaranteeing a big check to some average Division 1AA program and just embarrassing them. Don't lie Ohio State, Louisville and Miami don't tell me you thought these teams were gonna be national title contenders when you scheduled them. However most big time college programs are guilty of scheduling cupcakes. Got to keep the alumni and student body happy with big wins, right boys.
This weeks upset specials are the East Carolina Pirates knocking off the North Carolina Tar Heels in Chapel Hill for your college upset special, and the pro take the Chargers who are home underdogs to defeat the "How 'bout them Cowboys!"
Three weeks into the high school season and of the local teams we cover I'd have to say Queensbury is the best of the bunch, but we'll see how good when they take on the defending state champions in Burnt Hills this week. How come some teams every year just re-load while others are constantly stuck in quick sand?
One coach I always feel does the best coaching job every year and the record doesn't always show it is Kevin Stimpson of Fort Edward. That small group of kids he has always seems to play hard and are fundamentally sound. Love watching the Forts play.
One last football note. I wish I could have been there to watch last Saturday, but my alma mater Franklin Pierce now plays "Sprint" Football. It's a lower weight version of regular football and the boys from Rindge NH took on Cornell in a game that is played every year at Saratoga High School. They won 13 - 6. Then I get home and see Rutgers on Bristol Tech beat Arkansas for a second straight year. In the mid '70's, Rutgers took on the Tennessee Volunteers and the Vols coach was asked about them and he replied, "What's a Rutgers?" Still love that quote. I hope you SEC boys now know that us Jersey boys can play some big time football too! Remember we invented the game, it just took 140 plus years to be good at it.
More and more we're becoming one overly sensitive, politically correct, screwed up nation. When kids can vandalize a vacant home by having a party that the Delta House from Animal House would be envious of, brag about it on social media sites and then these kids parents can sue the home owner for calling the kids out for doing it and spinning it so the kids are the victims, something is wrong! Good for Brian Holloway.
Is it just me or does, "The Mother" who Ted will end up with kind of remind you both in looks and personality of Lilly?
Bad news single guys, Kaley Cuoco from Big Bang Theory announced her engagement. My good friend John Pratt was a little depressed over that one. Welcome to my world, JP.
If you haven't been, Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt in South Glens Falls is the real deal! It is scary good stuff. Take this recommendation from a hard core foodie who knows his stuff. If you're on a date, or if you have a family treat the spouse and kids and enjoy a frozen treat from this place.
Got apples and pumpkins and I'm searching for a pumpkin ice cream recipe...Leccese out.
