Slouching toward Ireland ...

[Skeptic]

We're getting closer. I'm getting ready. But from home. In prep this weekend I watched a) OT against Georgia in '14; b) final half a dozen seconds against FSU in '15; c) first three drives against FSU in ACC championship game, and d) second half against MSU in Orange Bowl. As my old coach would have said and did say on more than one occasion, I don't want none of that negativity no more. Let's tee it up and play a new season.

Turning and turning in the widening line splits
The linemen cannot hear the quarterback
Things fall apart, the center is called for holding
Mere mediocrity is loosed upon the field

You might want to take something for that raging optimism.

Wow, that's really nicely done. And from a school where the English department is on the third floor of the math building...

Yeats was most certainly a prophet. The part about the body of a Lion and the head of a man clearly, imo, foretold the coming of CJ unto the Flats nearly a century before his birth. I will revisit his work to ascertain when our next natty has been revealed to us. I'll report back later.

There was this young man named Devine,
Who reduced those across him to cryin'.
He'd relentlessly pound,
Till the whistle would sound,
And the same would continue with Bryan.

The viewing at our house will be celebrated in grand style, since we could not make the Ireland trip. The wife has worked hard toward the big day. She has been researching (for weeks now) in preparation for that early morning as we watch the game from our front row seats in section HD.

I will be her hapless sous chef. Cooking will commence on the night before the game.

I cannot make this up. As I type, @MrsDrJacket has :
* Decided on the perfect Irish breakfast to make. Included will be a Corned Beef Culcannon and an Irish Barmbrack (fruit loaf).
* We have GT plastic cups/plates at the ready
* Printed out the current GT roster and has that between some books on the table next to our chairs.
* Has curiously decided to read a brochure entitled Guide to NCAA Rules for Fans that outlines how "boosters" can stay away from messing up athletes' eligibility.
* Sought out her 3 favorite players already and wished them a good season.
* Purchased a new gold and navy dress and a new gold top, both for home games this year.

She is ready. Therefore, we are ready.

Is it blue or gold?

Also, show her this:

She's still finalizing the menu. Oh yes, she's all up on the traditional plate above (and a beautiful one at that).

I'm color-blind. I have to take her word on the color of anything.

Then we better win else you are gonna get two Irish potatoes for your next meal. Which, to think about it, is two more than the Irish had.

When we beat Florida State, I cooked a smoked pork shoulder. Therefore at 6pm Friday evening I will be placing one on the smoker. It was the only time I cooked one last season, so I am going to see if it brings back the good luck.

You do realize that if we win you will have to cook one for every game, right?

Yep.

I was at the game!

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

I was at the game!

So? You could have still cooked one before you came.

Gotta think outside the box man!
