1/10/2010


Nearing the end of a very restful weekend at this point - Caroline and I are both sitting here working on our blogs, full on home cooked italian food, which is delicious every time we cook it. So far this weekend I have watched a couple of movies, one that I really liked Inglorious Basterds. We also watched Donnie Darko, but it was less enjoyable.
Looking ahead to the next show with my band, Aaron (lead singer) has texted that we should do the Eagles' classic "In the Long Run", which means I'll have to look into what all guitar parts I can learn, what backup harmonies there are, what ridiculous overproduced elements are on the song that we aren't able to recreate live, etc. I applaud the song choice, as I am all for doing more classic rock at this point.
After last Thursday night, life is even better than usual for this UA alum and football fan. Of course every retarded Auburn fan will point out to you at this point that the national championship trophy has been displayed in wal-marts around the state - only goes to show how jealous they are and how insignificant their pathetic excuse for a football program is in today's perspective. They will also talk about how Colt McCoy was injured on the 5th play of the game and how things would have gone differently otherwise. First of all, let me say that UA changed the gameplan after he exited the game, going to a much more conservative offense. Had he stayed in, there is no telling what kind of offensive plays we would have seen that are still in the bag for the Tide to use against Penn State in next season's opener. Secondly, let's not forget McCoy didn't come down with the flu the day of the game - it was a member of the very physical UA defense that knocked the Texas QB on his ass and out of the game. That is part of football, and when Mack Brown wants to design an entire season and gameplan around one guy and an offense that exposes that one guy to damage quite easily, and in a conference where they don't hit quite as hard as the boys in the SEC, well...everyone saw what happened. So AU, UT, and any other college football fans sipping haterade while they were pulling for Alabama to lose can suck it.
