HIT BY SPIKES

Well, if you want to get hard near a Catholic Priest, I will NOT judge you brethren.

US JESUITS DON'T PLAY AROUND

You can cut the hate of the Irish in this thread with an Argentinian chainsaw. If style points count in college in terms of size of victories, should style points not also count in losses? Many of you seem to conveniently forget that Notre Dame lost their first and second game of the season against the #10 and #16 ranked teams by a combined total of 4 damn points. 'Bama who yes played a much more difficult schedule lost 3 games and two of those losses were by 14 and 21 points and one of those losses was to an unranked team. So you can shove your jealousness of the Irish and fake outrage that ND is somehow favoured due to their history and non-conference alliance.

I suspect there are other choices. The ND Seniors are not hard done by missing one bowl game. After all unlike many of the other colleges, these Seniors actually received a real college education and need not lock into a career in basket weaving.

Gentlemen, unfortunately this may sound immodest however THE game ball goes to my actual balls. I did something which I consider the domain of Short Order Cooks and I air-fried 10+ lbs of fresh chicken wings and tossed them only in: (a) 1 lb of melted unsalted butter; (b) 1 23 oz bottle of Franks RedHot Sauce; and (c) 4 tbls of garlic powder. It was this strict adherence to Buffalo tradition that won this game. You are welcome.

My man Deon!!!

I WAS MARINATING SINCE MONDAY

I HAVE BEEN COOKING SINCE THURSDAY FOR THIS ONE. A LOSS HERE IS NOT ON ME FELLAS.

Winter de facto arrives tomorrow/Thursday for me. I have 60 rose bushes, 7 kiwi vines, a 38 berry tunnel, saffron, herbs, perennials and a lot of other gardening/property maintenance obligations on my property. I have been busy winterizing and later today I will have finished for this growing season. Today the weather will be 10C in mid-morning and then start a rapid decline. Tomorrow -- American Thanksgiving -- will be a miserable snow flurry filled high of 2C. The wife heads to her island for a Monday Election on Friday so I am going to completely shut down starting Friday morning. No plans to leave the property until Monday. I am stocked up with food, IPAs, brandy, espresso beans, vodka, vermouth, firewood, etc. Planning to take up full residence in the ManCave with my pack of 3 canines and go on a seasonal mini-bender of sports watching if you will. Bruins on Friday Afternoon at 1:00 PM Bears @ Eagles at 3:00 PM College Football ManCity Udinese Cordoba Central Bills With the newish IP-TV system I put in I get 70K+ channels so there really isn't a sport (or porno) I can't get on my 7 TVs. I am going to treat those 3 days as a Spa Get-Away where I go between the TVs including the one outside next to the 9-person Jacuzzi. I pity the telemarketer who attempts to pierce my balloon of solitude.

...but it sure helps!!!

I am here. In Canada, we had our Thanksgiving long ago. My annual tradition is to go a place in Burlington, Ontario that has an Annual Cajun Deep Fried Turkey Bowl each American Thanksgiving. I reserved a booth for it 2 months ago. The place is packed by 11:15 AM. All reservations. Friends meet friends here for a couple of decades. My Service Dog Basset Hound Lucy is a celebrity there. The Owner of the place comes over to greet her when she prances in and then rounds and rounds of photos are taken of Lucy with the wait staff, bartenders, customers, etc. This year Lucy has a new Lions 6X jersey that is long enough for her awkward canine body. It says LIONS at the top neck line and we bedazzled LUCY LUVS just above it. Her day begins at PetSmart at 8:00 AM for the full spa treatment. I have some buddies coming however it is Lucy and my special day together. We will watch the Packers at Lions game, eat a Cajun Turkey Dinner and head back home once the game has been decided.

I am so confidant of a Bills victory tonight that I am not even going to lift a finger to put in any effort to make some kind of new meal for the game and just eat whatever leftovers are in the fridge.

Pretty much a must win if the goal remains to win the division.

Should be a comfortable win.
