Thanksgiving
Nuke drove up from Southport and brought his folks' dogs, Archie and Bella, with him. His folks are in San Francisco visiting the grandchildren and Nuke is doggie sitting.
I cooked a roast in the crock pot along with baby carrots and onions. Roasted asparagus as a side dish. Very easy and very tasty.
Friday
I mowed the yard for what should be the last time this year. The grass has quit growing and I've waited till all the leaves have fallen from the trees. Essentially I was chopping up the leaves so they would deteriorate quicker; and it makes the yard look neater.
Went to the basketball game. State seems to be playing to the level of their competition. We played well against ranked LSU, then came home and reverted to our 'let's not play like a team' game plan.
It's going to be a long season.
UNCheats at NC State Football
Usually I have a good time at football games, even when we lose. The Clemson game, for example, was a ton of fun even though Clemson won. State played great in a close, exciting game.
Not yesterday. It was the least fun I've had at a Sate game in a very long time.
State's defense employed the 'play dead like a possum in the road' strategy in the first quarter. And got run over. Maybe we were thinking that if we let UNC run down the field to the end zone a lot, then Carolina would get tired - and then we could win the game. Who knows.
The score was so lopsided by the end of the first quarter, it was dismal. Even when State turned around and played great the rest of the game - it was simply too much to overcome. Watching it was just frustrating.
We've been giving up a couple of big plays in every game this year. Yesterday, we gave up 6 or 8 in the first quarter. 35 to 7 at the end of the first quarter accurately sums up the game.
We stayed to the bitter end - and applauded the team for the good season. I was surprised at the large number of fans that also stayed and did likewise.
Coach DD and the players never gave up and played the last three quarters tight and close. We have a great coaching staff and the players respect and believe in the process. Recruiting is getting better every year. We are trending in the right direction.
Coach Fedora has shown that you can have a top tier program with quality student-athletes without resorting to cheating or recruiting thugs. Coach Fedora is a man of integrity. He is the exact opposite of that under performing cheating piece of shit Bitch Davis.
Sunday
Not a thing going on today.
Nuke just left for Southport. The dogs were excited to be going for a drive.
I might vacuum later and do a little house cleaning.

State did seem a tiny bit confused as to why they were on the field the first quarter. But I was impressed by their attitude after that. They stayed in the game and fought. Hope you didn't feed Archie spaghetti.
