Saturday Update

Had a good week working out of the office. Started right off on Monday after returning from vacation.

We were in the office on Tuesday but the rest of the week was spent in Stanly County and Harnett County.

Next week will also be field work in Lee County.

Football

NC State won at Duke today - 27 to 17. We're now 3 and 6. The remainder of the schedule is Wake Forest, at UNC, Miami.

We could win all 3 or we could lose all 3.

The win today was important. Usually football teams count Duke as an almost automatic win. But not this year. Duke is doing extremely well under new coach Dave Cutliff. Duke was favored to win but State has been improving and put together a solid game and an impressive win.

Thought about heading over to Durham to see the game. But decided to stick around the house instead.

Watched Alabama at LSU on TV. Those LSU fan do not like Nick Sabin.

Basketball

Basketball tickets arrived today.

Let's hope that Coach Lowe will keep the boys on the straight and narrow this year. Last year he let the kids get control of the team. The result was last place in the ACC. That's what happens when you let the inmates run the asylum.

All preseason, the quotes from Lowe in the paper have been along the lines of "I'm the coach. It's my way or the highway".

Which is good.
