More Football

OLE MISS / BAMA: That game was the first prime time televised game in college football history? That's what an announcer said. I saw Archie's highlights several times but did not see the Snake. Reil and Edie were at that game.

Yesterday I saw Peyton's press conference. John Saunders called him "Presidential". Ceil called the cable company and added the sports package for $5.00 per month. MLB, NBA, ESPN Classic, and ESPNU – which happened to carry the last two Clemson games.

ESPNU has terrible announcers. I just can't get over that. Bring back Bill Curry. Said the freshman Clemson QB would be the Heisman favorite next year. Called Clemson's defense the best in the nation. If so, why did they lose 2 of their first 3 games? The announcers kept saying how great the NC State QB was, and he didn't do anything the whole game. Why does every announcer call every QB great? Where are the average and below-average QB's? Seems like these lower tier announcers don't want fans complaining about them, so they never say anything negative.

From Facebook: John and Barbara Adair went on a 2 week cruise in September from Southampton to NYC with stops in Norway, the Shetland Islands, Iceland, and Newfoundland. About halfway through Barbara's back started hurting, and she's currently undergoing treatment.

Did not see them at Johnson Ferry yesterday, but we were on there for Sunday School. We did see Rob and Amy Braswell from our Living Science days. Did not know they attended JFBC. Son Nathan is at Georgia Tech and just won his second straight Rube Goldberg competition (still reading, Kevin Brock?). Also learned our small group friend's daughter is dating the son of Shane & Kim Austin, who I knew from Georgia Tech.
