This day has drained me completely. First off just like every other Saturday, I had to work from 8:00 to 7:00.

Left work a few minutes early to pick up some food on the way home.

I get home set down to eat and just as I take my first bite (around 7:45) My power goes out. Then it comes back on 2 minutes later. Then it goes out again 2 minutes after that.

Come to find out some drunk idiot hit a light pole down my street.

I grabbed my bat and went to beat the **** out of the drunk idiot.

Cops said no. Go figure. Demco truck showed up, said it would only be 10 minutes and he'd have us back up and running. (8:00).

I decide to hang tight instead of dashing out the door for the closest bar.

Put Hawthorne on the radio (8:10). Game is about to start. I grab my bat to go motivate Demco. Wife says no. Go figure.

Game is under way (8:18).

Had to listen on radio until 4 minutes left in 1st quarter.

Power finally came back on.

After watching our corners play 12 yards off the receivers for 3 series I considered calling Demco and telling them to turn the damn power back off. At least with Hawthorn, I don't have to watch us play a middle school defense.

Holy ****, our special teams just saved our ass. My throat hurts. I grab some cough drops.

Holy **** they did it again, We're winning now. I jump and yell loudly. Both my kids run out of their rooms in fear.

They don't have to worry anymore. My voice is gone, and we're out of cough drops.

4th quarter, our offense starting to look pretty dame good.

Our defense still sucks.

We give up the lead. I now need a hair piece.

We get the lead back. I decide it will be ok, and I'll just shave the rest of my head.

We give up the lead again.

I now need a new shirt.

Jamarcus makes one hell of a throw on the run, Doucet finally makes up for the 45 drops he had earlier in the game.

I am excited, I through a beer all over my carpet.

Then after the excitement dies down a bit, I realize we have to play defense for 1:13.

I tell my self please let Pelinni have Saban's cell number.

Two long passes and I think we're done.

Holy ****, our defense got to the quarterback. Maybe this is a sign of thing to come!!!!!

Two more stops.

4th and 10. ASU calls time out. I am sure they are coming with that damn screen we haven't stopped all damn night.

But Keller drops back, and we get some hands in his face forcing the incomplete.

54 seconds left. I get the calculator and start a complicated mathmatical formula to see if we can just kneel it since they still have two timeouts.

Everything fits, we should be able to kill it with two seconds to spare.

Thank God!!!!!

We get out of there with one ugly, but very gutsy win.

I can sleep this weekend as soon as the adrenalyn wares off.



Any body wanna go play some poker online?? Cause I'm gonna be up for a while.
