7-2 in ACC/Big 10 Challenge

WoW. The ACC is totally dominating the ACC / Big 10 Challenge again this year: 5 to 1.

My beloved Tigers took on the Perdon'ts (new word stolen from Colin Cowherd) and we were able to give up the lead just to come back and win with less than 1 min left. Clemson is now on a 6 year winning streak in this matchup. Pretty soon we will be playing the Indianas...

Unfortunately I missed the end of the game. I went out to dinner here in Valdosta and I was pleasantly surprised "The Blue Cafe" on N. Patterson St. hand an excellent, yet small, menu. I start with an appetizer of a Bud and a Jack Daniels Single Barrel on the rocks (Hopefully this is one of the bottles of Jack that Russ bathed in on his tour of the distillery). Now warmed up, I ordered the grilled chicken breast with a pommegranite/mango chutney and a Stella. YUM... The sides were small, mexican corn and limas with red pepper, so I mixed them together and made an excellent succotash - sufferin succotash. After dinner I inquired about a Port for dessert, ummm, that was too much to ask. This quaint little place did not have and the bartender looked at me like a deer in headlights. OK, how about a Grand Maunyea. What? Some Grand Mar-in-er, oh yea, we got that. Idiot.

Stopped at the 7-11 and got a couple 22oz beers and watched the 1st half of the game. As the 2nd half began i was getting tired but wanted to ensure I got a good night sleep. Took a Melatonin around the 6 minute mark and that was it. Done. Out. Holy Shit. I slept hard, woke up at 3 to turn off the lights and tv and didn't wake up again until 7:30... I needed that.

Waking up to another victory was nice as well.
