Fourth Saturday in October

Clemson falls to 4-4 and 7-7 in their last 14 games. Complaints about QB play. Couldn't watch the game because it was on the CW Network, whatever that is. Tigers host Notre Dame next week, with UNC and SC still to go. The only way Clemson will be able to wear their orange "championship pants" is to become bowl eligible. Even then, the way Dabo had been acting he may not let the team wear the orange pants in a minor bowl game.
Jackets looked good in their "mustard-ish" jerseys. Paul Johnson was honored, and participated in the pregame coin toss.
Oklahoma loses to Kansas. South Carolina beat A&M. USC came back to edge Cal only because the Golden Bears went for two instead of kicking the point to tie. 

FSU in head to toe white, beats Wake Forest wearing head to toe black.
UCLA wearing the old Gary Beban / Billy Kilmer era uniforms (with the Air Jordan logo) against Colorado. Nice. Great how the Bruins left the helmet's front nose bumper and rear bumper uncluttered. Wish more teams would do that.
Dawgs looked good. Defense bent but rarely broke. Gators hurt themselves with fumbles, a blocked punt, and a couple of bad play calls. Refs missed 3 face mask calls on one play. Few penalties on either team.
UGA offense moved the ball in the air and on the ground, even without Heisman candidate Brock Bowers. Back in the CBS Studio, former Florida head coach Dan Mullen predicted a Gator win. No one ever holds these talking heads accountable for their idiotic predictions. A nice win leading into the first playoff ranking coming out on Tuesday night.

Bought a cheap pair of Nike Space Hippie sneakers. Nice colors, blue with a green swoosh. Forgot what colorway Lang had. Didn't mean to be a copycat, these were just available at a great price. As usual, I'm two years late to the party.

2023 has been a year of shoes: Cole Haans, brown wingtips, black Pumas, black Hokas, now these Nikes. I know I keep saying it, but I gotta put up some of my other shoes for sale.

After work Friday I met ten coworkers at the Medlock Tavern. Ate appetizers and played Family Feud. Garrett, Buck, Crazy John, Doug, Sue, Rachel, Angie, Joyelle, Alex, and Brad. Good time.

Played golf this morning. Found many more ball than I lost. Hit an approach shot to 3 feet. Missed the putt. Did make 3 or 4 relatively long putts on other holes.

Back home I cleaned out in the garage. Tuesday workmen are repairing the ceiling in our garage, and in the upstairs bathroom.

Sunday night is Shivonne's second birthday party.

Results from my annual physical this past week were "the best ever" according to my doctor. Must be all the vitamins I've been taking.

I cut out the caffeine again, but still am having trouble sleeping. Concern over this computer changeover. Did make good progress on Friday.

Listening to Tom Hanks' audiobook "The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece", read by the author and his wife Rita Wilson. Sixteen hours, but very good.
