Save Me
Sunday was about as lost a day as I could manage and still have been awake for. Slept late, read, slept some more, studied, read, slept. Monday was much the same, but I got out to watch UofL take on Miami in the Cards' ACC debut.
Something of a surprise in that outing - we were going to meet at a particular restaurant in Middletown for the game, but they were closed for Labor Day. I was not at all expecting a restaurant to be closed for the holiday, especially a wing joint on a big damn sports day here in Louisville, but much love to the owners/management for observing it. We redeployed to Wick's, and had a great experience there. And after a shaky start, Louisville ran away with the game, winning 31-13. Not as decisive a victory as the Russell Athletic Bowl win in December (36-9 against Miami, wherein the Hurricanes accused UofL of running up the score, but whatever - bring your goddamn defense and that won't happen), but a good showing in the new conference.
Western Kentucky's football team had a heck of an opening day, too. Their quarterback threw for 569 yards, no interceptions, and six touchdowns. I don't care if you're in a mid-major conference, those are some terrific numbers, and I'm of a mind to get down to Bowling Green some weekend and check this action out. For maximum effect, I should go to the season closer against Marshall, because I think I may just be enough of a jerk to go to Huntington with a WVU shirt over my UofL tee and be loud as all get-out for WKU.
If you're going to troll a fanbase, troll 'em hard.
Anyway.
Holiday-shortened week of classes. Dad's birthday this coming weekend. Class projects already underway.
