Game week -- Kentucky!

I have to take the family down to the cottage shortly. Apparently my parents came up and there are fireworks at the resort tonight for the holiday weekend. I had planned to watch football all day, and upgrade my kids’ PCs, but those plans have been changed.

Natasha got all pissed at me this morning, “you never want to spend time with the family” blah blah blah. I swear, ever since we bought that damn cottage during the covid lockdown a couple summers ago, I have spent more time with extended family than 90% of married men out there. Gah!

So, I’ll have to watch our beloved Redhawks on espn+ late tonight or tomorrow morning. So it goes, just wanted to vent to guys who would understand. Anyway, I’m gonna stop and pick up some cigars and beer on the way down, might as well make the most of it.

My significant other is up in Chapel Hill helping her daughter with a home improvement project this weekend. I’m in football bliss - making a pot of fresh Hatch Chile Verde and channel surfing with my Siberian Husky. Speaking of Huskies, I’m guessing our RedHawks actually kick off tonight about the same time -10:30 pm - the Washington Huskies kick off against Kent in Seattle. Go RedHawks! Go Dawgs!

Iowa got two RBIs in the 3rd and now lead South Dakota State 5-3 in the 4th.

Another 2 for Iowa. Is this football or the MLB Field of Dreams game?

I think there probably are a lot of gamblers on here.

Don’t want to jinx it but it looks like the chance of severe weather has greatly decreased over the next 4-5 hours.

What a way to open the season. 7-0, good guys.

I haven’t been into ESPN+ since last football season. So while my subscription is good until 11/21/22 and I spent 30 minutes on the phone with ESPN, I had to renew my subscription.

Damn. We looked quite competent on that drive!

I haven’t been worried about our offense, but our defense is an unknown. Excited to see how they hold up

We better score a lot of points.

First offensive series: promising, full of positives
First defensive series: the opposite

Not great, Bob

Went about as expected. Defense is full of new guys very clearly not aligned yet

FYI for anyone who has Sling TV, the game is available on the SEC+ channel.

UK driving but 7-7 after 1 quarter.

My prediction of a tie looking rock solid. Nice job, Yellow. Niiiiiiiiice.

The ultimate definition of bending but not breaking. Still 7-7.
