Whew… where do I begin? As I said in my last entry, I have not been feeling well. I took the day off yesterday to learn that my wife was apparently coming down with the same virus, so I spent most of the afternoon catering to her wishes, bringing her Advil, water, cough syrup (not all at once, of course.)
My evening was spent on the couch, shouting irately at West Virginia University as they fumbled the ball too many times against Louisville and almost lost (again) to a team that isn’t even BCS ranked. Luckily, WVU made a comeback in the fourth quarter to win 38-31.
It was such an aggravating game. I like a tough game when the other team is good, but not when our players aren’t keeping their heads where they should be. Pat White and Slayton just kept letting down until the fourth quarter. My game ball goes to Eric Wicks who stuffed a whole bunch of Louisville’s passes and finally made a fumble return and ran it for a 44 yard touchdown.
