Still trying to process this

In my quirky little world, the only holiday I actually do is Thanksgiving. Strange I would pick this one because I can’t even boil water, much less cook a turkey. Nevertheless, I try to set a table and warm a few pre cooked things so I can pretend that I am a normal human being at least once a year.

Each year, I get one place setting of a different color and style. Don’t ask me why, it is just part of the tradition. I was looking at some plates in a local shop when I found a color and style I liked. The plate had a small lip on the edge kind of like a Frisbee and the interior was variegated. When I ran my hand over the interior surface, the texture was rough and the china looked stained.

My first thought was that since this was inexpensive tableware, whoever did the glazing had done a piss poor job. I did a closer examination, and to my disgust, I realized the rough stain was where some idiot had spit tobacco on the display plate and it had dried. Almost a week to go and this holiday is already ruined. Might have to switch to St Patrick’s Day.

FOOTBALL GAME THREAD ODU

To touch on multiple points.

This was a nice TEAM win. With our road record lately, we need to be happy with any win on the road.

Also, our offense was able to pick up the slack for the defense. Which is what happens when you have a solid QB finally. This is a game we’ve lost in years past solely for that reason.

That said, it all comes down to one game. And for two games in a row, our defense has appeared to be out of solutions late in games.

We were getting absolutely TORCHED by simple read option. This game alone could be enough to damage Mike Greens draft stock. They were running option straight at him unblocked and he was struggling.

Also, Green at least twice, and the other DEs as well, got shut down on inside pash rush moves giving up huge 3rd down scrambles. That’s a big no no against a scrambling QB.

Our front 7 looked as poorly coached as I’ve seen in a while, and it needs fixed in a hurry if we hope to win two key road games in a row.
