Sunday

I'm adding a few pics from the weekend.  The kids are at an age where posing tends to be problematic.  Other than the trip over to the John Deere Pavilion yesterday, the number of Kodak Moments was in the low, single-digits.

We missed the NYC girls (and 3.1) a lot.  Facetiming last night was a great idea, and it worked out really well.  I had never done much of it previously, or Skype, and was impressed with the Star Trek nature of it all. 

Sounds like the fam stayed up to see the Irish complete the victory against USC.  That goal-line stand was a statement-maker.  Although I have to say, the USC coach is hugely over-rated.  With the talent clearly visible on that team, to come out of the season with five losses is hard to understand.

 

Is there another sport that is set up for the "championship" game to take place six weeks after the qualifying game?  I understand that this is one of the vestiges of the "old" bowl system, when the four big New Year's Day games marked the end of the college football season.  And all those other "Who Cares?" bowl games that now exist do mean something to the host communities.  But the idea that the team that ND brings to the BCS game in January will be the same one that played last night in LA is a bit debatable, even if it will be the same players.

 

May add some more later.
