Whatever the scoreboard, however inferior the facilities, fanbase, and tailgate, Berkeley/SF was just a lovely weekend. (I can't possibly convey how much glee it brought me to watch the obliteration of Michigan and Notre Dame in an orange-packed sports bar. Highlight: The chap in the Spartans hat closest to the television, derisively humming "Hail to the Victors" after every App. State score.) I'm content, though, to be back in my own bed and intent on not leaving the house all day...if Baeyill was here it'd be just about perfect.
Games of interest to-day (cheering in bold):
I'm all for the time change + Hawaii games providing a true all-day all-night football experience, but somehow a game starting at eight feels just insane. Nine is a respectable brunch hour, but I can't bring myself to break out the mimosas yet. Which is tragic, considering the volume of alcohol traditionally imbibed by my family during WFV - Marshall.
Notre Dame - Penn State is a tough one as I hate them both. I think I'll just root for Joe Pa and Weiss to eat each other at midfield.

Except then he told me he was NERVOUS ABOUT IT, so....yeah, here's your Iowa update.

No wonder he's nervous.
LOL.....wait...WAIT, are you serious? Awwwww, how adorable!
Posted by: Holly at September 8, 2007 08:57 AMIt was downright heartwarming.
Posted by: The Great Barstoolio at September 8, 2007 09:02 AMI'm warm, but I think it's because I'm convulsing with derisive laughter.
Posted by: Holly at September 8, 2007 09:05 AMI'm right here!
Posted by: jeebsy at September 8, 2007 09:23 AMWe know. And you look so cute, what with the furrowed brow and the hand wringing.

Since when does an 8 AM start time stop a true drinker?
Posted by: Signal to Noise at September 8, 2007 11:31 AMSince I ain't from around here. I'm used to rolling out of bed at 10, prettifying, and starting to drink at 10:30.
Posted by: Holly at September 8, 2007 11:47 AMPshaw. Now I'm kinda feeling like a lout for rolling out of bed and cracking the beer early after drinking last night, like I should have showered first or something.
Another Po'mosa shall fix that.
