Head, Gut or Groin....

Isn't that a game they play on America's Stupidest Video's?
Well, thats how I feel about Saturdays' debacle at the hands of the Turtles. Jesus... 260 yards rushing in the 1st half, 58 in the 2nd half. How does that happen? Why go away from what works? We were averaging 7-8 yards a carry, hmmm, ball control, low turnover propbablity, clock management - all these things area associated with running the ball andwe totally went away from it....
So you start passing? I swear to JC himself that Rob Spence has wet dreams about bubble screens BUT i will say this, if it wasn't for the Bubble Screen we would have NO PASSING ATTACK - thats all our guys know how to do. Thank God the TE knows how to catch.

The stat came up on Saturday that Fatboy Fridgen is 5-3 vs. Clemson, can you believe that? A losing record to Maryland???? How does that happen.?
We may only win 1 more game this year - I actually think we can take Virginia without much trouble. (oops, there i go being optimistic)
Duke Scares me
Wake Forest has an off weekend just like Clemson but I bet they are more productive in their 10 days off than we are and I bet they beat the crap out of us.
We have never beaten Bosten College and I doubt we do here.
Daddy Bowden is going to spank Tommy like he was 2
...and last but not least....
Spurrier is going to beat our ass and gloat like a muthafucka...

This sucks....

I Gotta be careful....

Not sure if everyone is ready to be introduced to Firefly Vodka... So good it is criminal but maybe that is its' curse rather than its' benefit.

Sometime good things need to be kept quiet.

Forgot to Mention -

While on vacation I was all caught up in my own aura. Dealing with the In-Laws, finding new drinks and marveling at how, absolutely, long I can drive the golf ball, and how little snookie I get-even though this was our Anniversary vacation; all this being said I forgot to inform the 7 people that read this blog about the best G.D. golf shot I have ever seen...

Rogdog (pronounced Rauj-dog) was kicking my ass on the 1st Sunday on the course when we got to a par 3 on the front and he absolutely nails the ball. Wow good shot Rogdog, and I think nothig about it. I am focusing on my shot, his is on the green but probably rolled 6' past the hole. As we drive up to the hole, Rogdog says "Hmmm, looks better and better don't it?" I finally get a good look at his shot and start shouting "Holy SHIT!!!"

Honky mo-fo put a crater sized ball mark 6" from the hole and the ball released 4" toward the hole. He was right at 2" from a hole-in-one... Damn... Unbelieveable shot....

Later in the round, after seeing between 9-11 alligators ranging from 9' big mommas to 2' babies, Rogdog fades one into the trees before the dogleg right. You gonna punch out I say to Rog. Hell NO! was his response. "Get ready for the best GD golf shot you have ever seen Kevin, I am going thru these 8 trees and then going to bend it around the dogleg and land on the green 4' from the hole." (yeah right muthafuka) Dammit if he doesn't do it - exactly the way he said. Only, if I recall, it was about 6' from the hole. Damn impressive.

He shoots an 87, a personal best, and I gotta say I have only seen 2 or 3 better rounds in person.

My claim to fame is that when we played on Wednesday I broke 100 for the first time in a long time AND I was crushing my drives. One was at least 310 yards - thats what keeps you coming back.

PS. Rog - was this hommage enough for you? I can keep going if you would like...

U.S.A.!!!!!!!!

Congrats to the US Ryder Cup Team. I didn't watch a whole lot of the tournament but enough to have some opinions:

• Azinger made some tough decisions and had some questionable captains choices but they all worked out. Good for him. The pairings and playing of the whole team showed that they all had a hand in the US winning and that confidence was rewarded.
• Knowing that you are a questionable pick makes you play better. Kim was Great, Boo Weekly proved to be funny as hell and one hell of a good player. Campbell was really good bringing up the rear on Sunday.
• Mickelson and Furyk were disappointing - young guns full of piss and vinegar can play with more heart than established superstars.
• Mickleson had an interesting quote. When asked to finish this sentence "Kim is..." and his response was - "...a very funny guy. I laughed at everything that came out of his mouth all weekend." OK Phil, he's funny, but why not comment on his golf game. He sure as hell showed you up...
• JB Holmes is a monster bomber. WOW, his drives are crazy.

Ya gotta ask, would they have done as well if Tiger was playing? Would they have been as loose? Probably not...

Good for the USA!!!!!

Didja Miss Me?

It's been awhile since I blogged - just needed a break.
Let me give you a brief recap of what has been happening and the very bottom point is why I have been gone so long...

• Just got back from a week in Garden City, SC. It was nice to be at the beach but it was kinda crowded with In-Laws, 2 sisinlaws, nephew, broinlaw, and one's boyfriend.
• Took Rog-man to his first Flogging Molly show at House of Blues, MB. He was blown away. Great show. Rog did the research later and found that the lead singer, Dave King, used to be lead singer or 80's Metal Band, Fastway - whoda thunk that?
• Saw some HUGE sharks from the Pier.
• Broke 100 on the golf course for the first time in a long time - I even lost 6 balls so the score could have been really low 90's if I could just get my game together. Big drives though. That keeps you coming back - My $100 driver is a ton better than the $350 Ping driver I used to have. Fatherinlaw gave me a huge Cleveland driver that I hit OK but NOTHING is beating the Tiger Shark driver with the Pro60 shaft. (PS - you should all worship my shaft...)
• Discovered a new Liquor - FIREFLY Vodka; sweet tea infused Vodka. Nanny on those of you outside SC, it isnot distributed outside SC yet. Made in Wadmalaw Island, SC (distillery is located right next to the largest Tea Plantation in the US) and it is awesome. 1/2 glass of Firefly and 1/2 water and a lemon wedge and you cannot tell the difference. Yummy.
• Took the Nephew to the Clemson vs. Citadel game. He had a really good time. I could not believe the Citadel put up 410 yards offense against us. (I also cannot believe Clemson is going back up into the top 20 after beating NC State and SC State - we have proved nothing as of yet, I would have preferred not to be ranked until the Wake Forest game - then we might deserve it.
• Big Time Tailgate for the Alabama vs. Clemson game. Tailgate was great but we got our asses handed to us!!! After watching Alabama over the last few weeks, they look good and have taken our spot at #9. Good for them... That was one of the most demoralizing losses I have seen in a LONG time.

This is a good rundown, but I forgot to mention a Braves game and a couple trips to Summits, alot of beers and some general good times... I intentionally left out the Anniversary that just occurred.
