3-1 on the weekend

I follow a few teams in this great sporting world of ours and it's a rare bird for them to all find themselves victorious on the same weekend. Georgetown and Arsenal pulled out nice wins early on Saturday. That left me with two teams left to play - ND and the Redskins.

ND vs USC has been one of the worst days on my sporting calendar for nearly a decade. It's usually a complete domination. USC had 8 straight W's in the series, with 6 being complete humiliations. But something funny happened Saturday night. The Irish, after trying their best to give this bad USC team a win, decided enough was enough and grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat.

I knew the 'Skins were in trouble on Sunday after the ND game ended. And I knew I was in trouble because I was going to make it to FedEx. I feel like I should apologize to everybody. Their loss to the Vikings was kinda my fault. Well that and the fact that they just can't score points. I guess both of those things went into the loss.

Back at FedEx: I haven't been going that much the past 3 seasons but every time I get back there (I have to go at least once a season to keep my streak alive) I remember how much I just love being there. It's not even the wins or the losses really, it's live sporting events. They are the best.

I didn't see anybody at Orange A54 but that used to be the spot. I was at a pretty good spot in the Green Lot. Lots of new friends, ran into an old friend and more importantly I found an old love inside the stadium. I would have never thought to buy the cotton candy myself, but it was incredible. It put me in the mood for a funnel cake.

The 'Skins: They just don't score enough points. It's really that simple. Their inability to score basically requires them to play mistake free football to get wins. When you score a decent amount of points, you can overcome dropped balls, turnovers, bad calls, whatever. They don't do that.

I can't believe Favre came in here and didn't do something stupid on the field. I watch the Vikings every week and he's always good for AT LEAST one huge, horrible mistake per half, let alone an entire game. Unbelievable.

Random: I see a lot of bad cornhole sets out there but I did see some nice ones on Sunday. I need to make another one before the next DC United season. And by me I men I'll help Terry make it. I love Celebreation Ale. I better go and buy a bunch of it before it goes the way of Dogfish Pumkin Ale . Some old guy cut in front of me leaving the stadium and I nicked his SUV. It was nothing worse than a kiss on the cheek. Of course 4 golden oldies had to get out and inspect the non-incident. I would have pretended to only speak German if they wanted to exchange information.
