This Week…Let the Tailgating Begin

 

This is one of our favorite times of year…college football season!!!  You can't beat the enthusiasm and rivalry if you’ve never been to a college game…football, basketball, baseball, or other college sport.

Treat a person as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat him as what he could be, and he will become what he should be. Jimmy Johnson



This week, we’ve watched the Backyard Brawl pitting W. Virginia and Pittsburgh, and favored Penn State barely beat Purdue. 



If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you. Bear Bryant

 

 

I have no skin in the game…I just wanted to see some good football. The early games are typically non-conference but still fun to watch.

 

We’re not going to talk about what we’re going to accomplish. We’re going to talk about how we’re going to do it. Nick Saban

 


On another subject, that rain we were hoping for…it’s been here most of the week. We were excited to see that at Kickerillo and other parks where we walk, mother nature was refreshed by the rain, and instead of a lot of browns, we’re seeing green!



The greatest mistake is to continue to practice a mistake. Bobby Bowden


It’s been a busy week and very hard to believe that Labor Day is Monday. If you’re having a BBQ or cookout…enjoy!

 

Let the light that shines in you be brighter than the light that shines on you.  Dabo Swinney




Have a wonderful weekend!

I always enjoy the first week of college football, it seems that a lot of ranked teams play each other and we get to see if teams are worthy of their rankings early on.  I figured that Wayne Martin would have a few adult libations during a holiday weekend, haha.

We used to go to tailgate parties, but haven't been to one in years. It's great that these outdoor activities are again back in style!

Hi Kathy - football is a serious sport in this country but even more so in the south.  I had a client in New Orleans  who sold plenty of Poboys and bloody marys on Sundays as people drove to the Saints game.

Hi faye schubert Larry watched his KU Jayhawks last night and they actually won. They had your former coach but he did nothing. Well watch LSU tomorrow. 

Nina Hollander, Broker LOL I have to check the schedule before I have the family over. Can't interfere with the games. !!!

Kat Palmiotti it's amazing how the green returns so quickly after some rain. I'm not totally ready for winter, though. 

Laura Cerrano it's a lot of fun when you're younger. For me, I'd rather be at home and watch several games at once.

I didn't watch the game but I am disappointed that Ohio St won, I was rooting for Notre Dame.  I was happy to see my Wildcats play well though and get a nice win!

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 we used to go when we visited Larry's alma mater and have been to others but now it's fun to channel surf at home. 

Dorie Dillard Austin TX I started watching A&M this morning but they have been under a rain delay. We just had some here. Hope it holds off for UT.

Will Hamm we watched that one too.   We also watched Pittsburgh and W. VA. 

Grant Schneider it really is big here. I grew up with Friday night high school football and watching it with my family.

Hi Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho we never had an enforced water rationing thank goodness or our lawns would have burned.
