Thanksgiving Update

[dlgood]

Hung out with the guys as Jesse & Shnu were in town, and went to see For Your Consideration -- which I think was quite funny, albeit a little short for my tastes. "Home for Purim" comes in there as one of my favorite Fake Movie-within-a-Movie concepts ever, because how funny is that idea. WIth the accents and the dialogue... (Ironically, the Haman I was protecting you from was me!) just priceless.

Am thankful for pain medication. Thursday morning, we played football. Initially it was going to be flag, but we wound up playing 10-on-10 and it's really hard to grab flags in muddy & raining conditions - you eventually have to tackle just to get flags off... so we went to playing standard tackle with offensive & defensive lines. And me playing mostly fullback. The hits and such weren't too much of a problem and I'm not really bruised or beat up, but my back... oy - that was aching fierce this morning.

Also, thankful to Miami which went out and beat Boston College... As a result, tonight's Maryland-Wake Forest matchup (On ESPN at 7:45 PM EST, live from College Park, MD) becomes meaningful. The winner plays Georgia Tech next saturday for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and a berth in the Orange Bowl.

GO TERPS!!! I'll be there in my Vernon Davis Jersey (#18) ...

Go Terps!

I'll be spending my afternoon in Reno, rooting for Nevada (my brother's future alma mater) to beat Boise St.

Well, now I'm torn.

On the one hand, I'd like to root for Nevada - as they are now one of your teams. But on the other, I really do like to see the occaisionall non-BCS Conference + Notre Dame team make a BCS Bowl. So I kind of want to see Boise State win.

Have fun in Reno - win one for me.

Yeah, I know. We all feel the same.
