Saturday Night Fever

Thank goodness it's football season! This weekend began with a lot of fun. My thanks to The SportsLady and The SportsDirector for letting me participate in Sports Overtime. I shot video for the Opelika and Lee-Scott Academy games, and I did live highlights for them. It was my first time doing sports on the tube, and I really enjoyed it.

I used to broadcast with a minor league hockey team in Texas on the radio. I miss doing sports, so it was certainly a treat for me last night. Dave called me after the show and was very positive about the highlights. Thanks, guys.

Amy and I took a break from college football this afternoon to watch The Transporter 2. It wasn't as good as the first one to me, but enjoyable. The biggest thing wrong with the movie is the blonde girl. If you see the previews or the movie, you'll understand what I mean. She's way too freakish-looking for me. But on the upside, I'm starting to really like Jason Statham as an actor.

As far as college ball, #7 Oklahoma lost 17-10 to TCU. OU is one of my favorite teams because of Bob Stoops and tradition, but it looks like they're picking up where they left off last year. Georgia dominated Boise State, Alabama is currently leading Middle Tennessee State 23-7 and Auburn is losing to Georgia Tech 10-0. I'll update those last two scores when their games end.

And where would I be without talking about Tennessee: They barely beat UAB 17-10. Andrew, a new reporter at our station, is a UT grad. I'll say it here as I told him: I'm not anti-Tennessee, but I'm anti-Fulmer. Some of his "secret confessions" helped get my Crimson Tide on probation. They weren't the only reason, but they didn't help. Now he seems to be more hated than Auburn by the Tide faithful.

As a Labor Day surprise, my bosses gave me Monday off. My sister-in-law just had her baby Friday, so we're heading to South Carolina for the day tomorrow. We'll be back Monday afternoon. Just six more months, and little Lucas will have a cousin with our precious bundle making his/her debut. Now that will make me excited! :-) By the way, Amy and Baby are doing well!

Well, I'll update the Bama and Auburn scores later, but I'm calling it a night. May your weekend be blessed!

Score update:
  • Bama over MTSU, 26-7! Roll Tide!
  • Bonus! Dennis "Franchi-Phoney" and Texas A&M lose to Clemson 25-24!
  • Georgia Tech wrecks Auburn's win streak, 23-14.

Mad Props to B-Pizzle!

Dude, you did a great job on Friday night.

In fact, I'd venture to say that you saved the show, because our side of things was utter chaos!

Any week you want to help, we'd love to have you!

As a Kansas grad, I can't help giggling about O.U. falling AT HOME -- to a bunch of FROGS!!!!

But then again, I have to remember -- the Kansas football team only goes to bowl games about once a decade....

Ditto to what The SportsLady said.

Great job Friday night.

Hope the trip to SC went well.
