Thoughts about the last 48 Hours...Apple Cup Edition

Going to try this again, sober this time. I have no qualms about diving right in and continuing my promise for more posts; since I am more than willing to admit writing about one-self to one-self is the first stage of insanity. Actually, I believe writing about one-self following an 0-10 football team 4+ hours to the Eastern parts of nowhere might be the final stages of insanity, but we can leave that for later when I travel to a different state to watch an 0-11 football team make football history.

Yes, I remain dedicated to one of the worst disasters in human history that finds new and interesting ways to remove crucial parts of my soul.

Things that have improved my life over the last 48 hours:

*Road trippin’ with the old man

*Derek & The Dominoes Live at the Fillmore 1970

*Friday Night Husky Drink and Appetizer Specials at TI Shenanigans in Spokane (say Shenanigans one more time)

*Bartender Matt at aforementioned restaurant on Friday

*The genuine hospitality of the good people of Spokane employed in the hospitality industry *Iron & Wine on ‘Austin City Limits’ and Western Idaho PBS
*Alumni Bus Leader Erin and her genuine enthusiasm for keeping track of a bus full of intoxicated Dawg Fans
*For relaxed booze regulations on the Cougar campus and allowing a full bar restaurant 500 feet from the stadium
*Martin Stadium, for reminding me that there are alternatives to 70,000+ stadiums and making me feel attached to the game without a $200 ticket
*To the wonderful healing (day) and blackout (night) power of Theraflu Liquid Cold Medicine *Great weather, capped off by a perfect 10 for November 23, 2008
*Road trippin’ with the old man

Things that exist, neither for negative or positive in my life:

*Sheryl Crow
*Cougar Fans and Washington State University
*Beer that requires fruit
*Fish N’ Chips
*Red Lion Inns
*Camouflage
*Prime Rib and Bartender Matt on Saturday night at above mentioned Irish named restaurant

Things that will significantly improve my life in the future:

*Tyrone Willingham no longer employed by a Division One School especially mine

It was a memorable Apple Cup for reasons other than what occurred on the field, and I encourage anyone and everyone to make the trip and experience the Cup from the other side of the mountains, just make sure to bring plenty of camouflage.

That game ripped my heart out. I was swearing so much Jenny started yelling at me... and she swears more than me!

How they let a friggin' 4th option WR get down the sideline in 1-on-1 coverage is anyone's guess. Does Tyrone know about a prevent defense? I have questions. And the only answer is Ty is done at UW.

ManU didn't look so hot today in the CL... I have a feeling they'll be many more draws this week and the next Match Day 6 after so many big clubs clinched spots to the next round a few weeks ago.

That's why every year I'm less and less interested in the group stage...there rarely is a story line of interest outside who's securing a UEFA spot and who is coming out first...

I've spoken about my expectations this year for United...it was a mistake to bring a half-interested #7 back just to prove a point and trying to integrate a sulky-Bulgarian at striker is going to take time and sacrifice your counter-attack D...

It's amazing that two teams as talented on the attacking end as Villareal and United play almost 200 minutes without a single goal scored...oh well...Sunday looms as a make or break date for the Premiership...

Hope everyone had a good Thanks day
