Finally...Football Season

I have to say that this weekend was awesome for a few reasons. First of all, college football kicked off the start of its season which means a lot of days on the couch drinking until I pass out...can't wait! I unfortunately missed the giant upset of Michigan, because it was not showing locally, but what a way to start the season. I am a Kentucky fan, (yes you read that right) and for the first time since I can remember, I am excited about our season. We are coming off of a bowl win over Clemson last year, and have the offensive power to compete with any team in the country this season. The good news is that we actually play about 7 teams in the top 25 this year, but the bad news is that we play about 7 teams in the top 25 this year. We have a chance to go to another bowl if we can upset just 1 of the top teams we play, and we have a solid chance to do that. If we can just improve a little on defense...we might have shot. I just hope we kick UofL's ass!

The second reason this weekend was awesome...Phil Mickelson beat Tiger Woods! I am a huge fan of Phil Mickelson and have been for some time. I have followed Phil thru the good and bad, and believe me there has been plenty of bad. I love the excitement he brings to golf and his creativity... although it costs him consistently. I also am a giant Tiger hater...becasue he is richer than God. I actually hate Tiger I think mainly becasue of how the media portrays him. They act as if he can do wrong and he is the image of how young athletes should be. I guess they just ignore all the F bombs and God Damnit's he yells on the golf course on national television. The announcers are as bad. They will show Phil reach a green in 2 from 270 and say..."not a bad place to be, but a tough up and down from there..." Tiger will be 155 out and leave himself a 20 foot putt, and the response is something like this... Wow...that is exactly where you want to be, and you just can't get much better than that. I sound bitter? I have just built a hatred of the Tiger persona over time and have wanted to see Phil finally shut him up. I can finally say he did that this weekend in style.
