Jenny Craig

 

 

 

 

Well, today was weigh-in day for Laura, Karen and me… Karen has been doing a great job shedding her ‘thrower’ weight dropping 41 lbs so far, Laura has dropped 28 lbs and I have taken off 26 lbs in this my fifth week on the program.

Hey, I am a long way from my goal weight… and that’s a secret for now… and very soon folks will be amazed that Karen was ever a shot putter…. and Laura is lookin’ great.

Next week… ah… I’ll break through a big number.

Ohio State comes a callin’….

Ohio State comes to the National Championship Game

Well, there are a couple of BLOGS that have the battle raging! Here’s two of the best:

Florida Gators

Ohio State Buckeyes

In our family we have some divided loyalties… before Karen became a Trojan All-American she was a Florida underGrad and a former SEC Champion in the shot… and Laura (aka Mom) a dyed in the wool BUCKEYE fan ( many relatives went there).

As for me, I take no sides… although Urban’s coaching style & lack of manners doesn’t impress this ol’ boy…

Nick Sabin vs. ‘the mouth’ Urban Meyer

Nick Sabin New Head Coach at the University of Alabama.... roll tide!In Texas, we say, ” money talks and bull sh*t walks!” and “don’t tell me you love me… show me!”

Alabama showed how much they want Nick Sabin by giving him an eight year $ 32 million contract! Now… that boy Urban the Legend Meyer in Florida has a seven year $14 million dollar contract… what does that really say to you?

So , when we look down the road in the SEC for the next couple of years, Urban better get what he can this year ’cause there’re a few big boys in the league… including Steve Spurrier about 12 mil or more.

The SEC just got more exciting… and somewhere, Bear Bryant is showing a small smile.

What’s Under those Trojan Cheerleader Skirts?

Well... she is wearing 'something'... kinda interesting actuallyHmmmmm… years ago, Grandma Frankie asked me as a little boy, “when did you learn that little girls legs weren’t attached to the bottom of their skirts?”

They’re not?

So, I was on the net the other day and some folks were talking about our ‘virtuous’ Southern California Trojan Lady Song Girls in a terrible way… it was like they went to the ‘Folle Bergeres’ in Paris ( historically, the women danced without underpants… my grandfather at the end of WWI wrote an amusing letter to his mother in Iowa saying he saw the ‘follies’ but she shouldn’t worry… as he caught no ‘cooties’… ha!)

In fact, the ‘debate’ on whether or not she was wearing something under her skirt surpassed talk about those couple of other minor and forgettable bowls this week…

My Professor & esteemed collegue Laura entered the debate by noting that the cheerleader in question was obviously wearing a ‘thong’. Which — to her — made it okay. Since Laura is seldom wrong… I decided that a deeper exploration of the issue was needed.

So after much study… it appears that she is wearing some sort of lacey something… even though I am the father of three daughters I don’t recognize it… in any event, she is wearing…’someTHING’.

Relax boys, this is about as racey as my blog gets.

Fight On! Congrats on THE Grand daddy of ALL Bowls Win… the Rose Bowl!

the Ballad of Urban Meyer …..

it was once called the BCS National Championship Bowl... but not in Urban's mind

It used to be called ‘look for the open man’… but in Meyers ‘playbook’ it is called the ‘spread offense’… or ‘run the qb’ if no one is open… Texas-style.

Every great or wacked Coach neeeeds a song worthy of recalling his deeds and battles… and Urban Meyer is no exception… so with apologies to Johnny Cash and sung to the tune ‘the Rebel’ ( ‘Johnny Yuma’ for you fans of fifties T.V.)… here is:

The Ballad of Urban Meyer

 

Urban Meyer was an ego
He roamed through the BCS
Did Urban Meyer, the ego
think his mouth was enough?

He got Whinin’ mad
This ego’d lad
When they laughed
at his AA coachin’ skills
Where the only play he knew
Was a fake and a qb run
The ego, Urban Meyer

 (Repeat 1st verse)

He searched the BCS
This restless ego
For a bowl quick
that he could win
If he figured he’d get that
if he’d whine just enough
The ego, Urban Meyer

(Repeat 1st verse)

 Whinin’ mad
This ego’d lad
With a dream he’d hold
‘Til his dyin’ breath
He’d claim a win
Just him vs. Ohio State
The ego, Urban Meyer
