~ More SAE/BBdK makes this thread incredible. Doubly so if SAE is waxing poetic about pigskins and family or BBdK is snackdowning on pizza.
~ We may be world beaters, we may lose 15 games and we may very well just be a decent top 25 team but none of it truly matters because all of the extra bullshit is gone. No more veiled shots at BJW, horrible sideline interviews with questions answered like a cornered politician or injury reports that read like missing person ads. It's all gone, it's all over.
~ People turned around on Pope when they realized what his philosophies and priorities are. Hyper modern offense, gutty hybrid defense and you play the best players you have. Cal remarked that UK fans were different because we cheered "box outs and rebounding" but still tried to treat us as inferiors. Never again, amigo.
~ Cut caffeine cold turkey last Sunday. Holy shit. I'm either drinking straight water, a lemonade mix-in or Sprite zero if I want some carbonation. The withdrawals are insane. Headaches run rampant, mood seems off and apparently this shit can last up to two weeks. That first fall's eve pour without Coke will be interesting. Going to have to step up my old fashioned game.
~ Parenting is the dumbest/greatest/most annoying/most rewarding thing I've ever done. I don't regret having children, but I do regret my approach to parenting at times. It's crazy how parents mostly fly by the seat of their pants, and I had no idea until I had kids. Son is 11 soon and daughter just started Kindergarten. I couldn't tell you how that happened so fast.
