Taking It To the Field

You may have heard, NFL starts tonight. I do not have any fantasy players in tonight's game, but do have a big match up this week. My team is average at best, but there are a few players that might offer some upside. I'm anxious to see what happens.

In the college world, my Crimson Tide plays Penn State. This should be a really good game. I'm looking forward to seeing Joe Pa on the sidelines again this year. I really do not like many coaches, but he is one that you have to respect. Of course there was Bobby Bowden, but since Florida State ran him off, that really only leaves Paterno.

Last week Alabama played both quarterbacks. I wish I could tell you exactly how each performed, but I had too many beers. This made the game quite hazy. Had we been playing in a big match up, I would have felt guilty for paying so little attention. However, it was a cream puff game against Kent State.

College and NFL are back. I live for these times. Between now and January, I will have plenty of reasons to enjoy life. Yes, I have plenty of reasons during other months of the year, but you have no idea how much football sweetens the pot. On second thought, if you feel like this guy when football is in season, then maybe you do...

Classic Is Back

Alabama vs. Penn State was a huge rivalry in the 70's. I was young, but still remember the adults talking about it and the excitement it generated. Today the rivalry resumes, and that excitement is back. Yes, today is one of those fall (though it still feels like summer) Saturday's that we 'Bama fans live for.

Last week we hosted, but this week we will be going to my sister's house. Chili dogs and chip and cheese dip are on the menu. Dessert will be provided by me in the form of my famous lemon icebox pie. I made it yesterday because it tastes better with time. Luckily I was able to hide it deep enough in the freezer that the kids would not discover it.

Tomorrow fantasy football is back. What will The Clover Valley Stoners bring to the table this season? Guess we will find out.
