Saturday: September 15, 2007 - I'm in your pocket, disrupting your passes
Dear Jeff Bowden,
I'm sorry. On behalf of all FSU fans, I'm sorry we blamed you singularly for FSU's problems. After watching Jimbo Fischer's offense "dismantle" Colorado last night I realized what you must have known for a while--all of the players that should be starting at FSU are sitting as 2nd and 3rd stringers on the University of Florida sideline. I now more fully understand that even Peyton Manning would not be able to win games for the Noles. The offensive line apparently just has some sort of fundamental lack of understand that they're there to block. Whether that's helping pop open holes for the RBs or protecting Weatherford, they just refuse to do it. So Jeff, I'm sorry. It wasn't you--it was your players.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but certainly FSU's troubles begin and end at the offensive line. I think it's a combination of poor coaching of the line, bizarre play-calling at crucial times, and an overall lack of talent, especially compared to our orange-and-blue clad neighbors to the east. There were flashes of good things to come last night (see Smith's TD), but the O-line HAS to get better for the 'Noles to have ANY shot at double-digit wins again. - Mike
You're right about the woes of O-line. Thank God Mickey Andrews' defense showed up last night. - Mark
To be fair, Colorado is much better this year and has two players (Dizon and Wheatley) on defense that are pretty good players at important positions. It was a win-win (or a win-lose) for me, and it was hard to decide who to root for. In unrelated news, I am finally ripping all of my music to the computer and lo and behold, I found a couple of CD's that I believe belong to you... Want them back?

09-02-2009: I think I have the swine flu. I think I caught it during the Counting Crows concert then brought it back. I took the liberty of passing it along to 100+ college students in the hopes of teaching them a valuable history lesson about settlers and smallpox blankets (right Steve?) I actually do feel a little bit better today but I've also slept away the gross majority of the past three days. Tomorrow I have to go back to school and I can't call in sick so by 10am I'll know how bad I have it depending on how many students I inadvertently killed on Wednesday.
Football starts tonight. Thank God. Too bad I'll be asleep and have to miss the first two games. On Monday Tim and Chris are going to come over to watch FSU whomp Miami. Back to bed.09-02-2008: Ok, seriously, we're playing MarioKart tonight at 8pm. SERIOUSLY.
I got sick last night around 10pm for no reason. Just a regular cold but it came out of nowhere and by the time I woke around 2:30pm this afternoon it had almost totally gone away. Weird. I ordered ESPN GamePlan yesterday so now I can watch up to six college football games at once. This is grossly unnecessary but really, few things in life are really all that necessary. The Cubs can't clinch a playoff spot fast enough--my big TV awaits!
I also picked up Ab last night and she and Chompy covered my bed in dirt after running around in the clay before coming in. Speaking of clay, I read that some people crave eating clay while pregnant. Weirdy. Since I'm phoning in today's entry, here's a video that's worth the watch (with FSU alum Richard Simmons no less).
I took the day off blogging but only because I was thinking of you.09-02-2006: After laboring in coal-mine like conditions for the past 11 months I was pleased to get Labor Day off. Over the weekend the only major thing I "accomplished" was buying a new TV for my office. I got it at Home Depot of all places but I wanted a 15" LCD and didn't want to spend $350 at Best Buy for a crap-brand when I could spend $250 at Home Depot for a Magnavox. The TV it replaced did not change channels or allow you to adjust the volume more than once a week. Usually each Sunday I'd decide what channel and volume to watch for the week and then hate my decision to choose Lifetime (hey, Fraiser was on) on near-mute. The new TV is nice and it looks good next to my two flat-screen monitors. Booyah.
