Weekend: Football & Food

Took Anna to the Fellowship Christian School football game Friday night, down the road from Roswell High. They beat Troup County. Fielded only about 35 players…20 of whom were freshmen, and about ten sophomores. Fellowship’s little kicker nailed a field goal, and made all his extra points. Nice traditional uniforms: burgundy with white stripes on the shoulders and pants. Anna’s friend Bo didn’t play: he was home with pneumonia. Caught up with Bo’s dad, who is the host for the officials. Also saw Bill Chapman, who runs Camp Highland.

Saturday I watched sports. ESPN College Gameday, Clemson/Ball State, Braves/Mets, Tech/Presbyterian (on the internet), and UGA/Missouri. Clemson looked good, as they usually do against weaker opposition. I’m still not sold on their QB.

Against the weakest opposition possible, GT QB Tevin Washington managed to struggle. He and backup QB S Days fumbled four times (though Days’ fumble appeared to be after he crossed the goal line). Redshirt freshman Vad Lee appeared to have a great third quarter. Hope to see more of him in the near future.

Glad UGA put it to trash-talking Missouri. The passing game was working, though QB Aaron Murray repeatedly missed open receivers (like he did last year). Can they hang with Bama in the SEC Championship Game?

Weekend meals…
…Friday night Ceil cooked homemade pizza. She makes the dough in her breadmaker,
…Ate leftover pizza Saturday for lunch.
…Saturday night Ceil cooked hamburgers, French fries, and fixed salad.
…For Sunday lunch she baked a chicken, with scalloped potatoes and green beans.
…On the way home from church Sunday night I cashed in a free burrito coupon at Moes, so the four of us ate for $12.00.  

During the final minutes of the SF/GB game Sunday night, there were talking heads on four other networks discussing the days’ action. ESPN, MLB Network, NFL Network, and NBC Football Night in America. Lots of talk, scores, and statistics, but hardly any of what I wanted to see: highlights.
