Interim Gameday Report

Sometime during the long tailgate and travel weekend, I seem to have caught a cold. So I feel like crap, and can barely work the remote control on the TV, much less a keyboard for posting the highlights of the gameday weekend. However, here are a few tidbits:

• I got my bags checked at the airport by an NFL Pro-Bowler's dad.
• I experienced CPAP envy at the airport security scan.
• Jukeboxes in Dawsonville prohibit "rap" or "metal" until after 10 PM.
• Tall boys of Miller Lite are still inexplicably value-priced.
• Noel Devine is a black hobbit. But he shouldn't wear shoes.
• The trip to Athens included a re-enactment of the 70s classic Death Race 2000.
• There's a country video that features the old frat house as a character.
• Freaknik broke out next to us at the tailgate.
• Someone in our section at the game shit their pants, without an odor-absorbing astronaut diaper.
• 320+ rushing, and Thomas Brown kicks ass. So does Moreno. Tripp Chandler? Not so much.
• The personal and professional worlds collided mysteriously at Applebees.
• When cell phones don't work as planned, just yell across a crowded bar: "What number do I need to call y'all?!"
• Comment from the E's to Miz Freebird after spending 3 minutes with her hubby and passenger post game, post 5th Quarter show: "You need a hug."
• Knocked Up is indeed funny, and I'm glad I got around to finally seeing it.

More expansive thoughts on the weekend later this week, if I feel up to it. All in all, a great weekend full of college football upsets, good times, great friends and most importantly, a Dawgs victory in an increasingly topsy-turvy SEC season. Woof.
