Great Game

That was a great game. The Lions beat the Packers, 37-30. I have faith that this new team is going to do much better next season.

That was the last game of the regular season, so that’s it for the Lions. They finished their season with a 3-13-1.

Okay, the Rams and the 49ers are on now. I’ll have it on, but I don’t think I’m going to sit through the game. I got stuff to do.

The Rams are already in the Playoffs. I’m going to be rooting hard for them. It’s Matthew Stafford’s turn to get a Super Bowl ring.

Basketball, Groceries & Fiction

The Pistons stayed toe-to-toe with the Magic tonight, winning, 97-92.

I wish the NBA would figure out that when one team wears a reddish color and the other team wears a brownish color, it’s hard for the colorblind of us to tell who is who. The game is less enjoyable and more frustrating. I could accidentally be cheering for the Magic. Thank God, I wasn’t at the game, ’cause that would’ve been embarrassing.

I’m a firm believer that one team should wear a light color and the other team should wear a dark color. Never should both teams be wearing dark colors.

I made it to Kroger today. A lot of stuff was cleaned out, but it wasn’t as bad as I had expected. I’m not happy that prices have gone up, especially on the meat products. The meat is costing twice as much as it did a few months ago.

I used to be able to get a package of pork chops for around five bucks, now it’s more like $10. But I found enough meat to fill my freezer.

I started the next story today. I like it’s beginning. Hope it stays satisfying. Think I’m going to pull an all-nighter. I got down three pages of fiction so far today, two into the novel and one into the story. I like to try getting at least five pages into each every day.

I Got These Blues

I made a mistake
Being a cheapskate.
I should’ve bought alcohol
Before it was too late.
I hoped to end the year
On a happier note.
Instead, I got these blues.

It was shortly after Halftime
That I picked up my guitar.
I played the thing in a way
That I haven’t played in years.
McNamara’s pass was intercepted
In the endzone,
And I got these blues.

Penalties and fumbles,
The ball turned over too many times.
The Bulldogs were a brickwall
And a charging pack.
Thanks to Moody and Henning,
We got in a fieldgoal and a touchdown.
But I still got these blues.

I jammed through the game
As I watched the nightmare unfold.
They finished up with 11-34.
The Orange Bowl didn’t go
The way I had hoped.
But I love my team,
So, I got these blues.

Big Ten Championship

The Michigan Wolverines are the Big Ten Champions!

They beat Iowa 42-3. Y’all said they would choke in the Championship Game?

Jim Harbaugh is a great coach. Don’t ever again suggest in my hearing that he should be fired.

I’m proud of my team. They are the champs.

Victory!

We won! We beat the Ohio State Buckeyes! 42-27. I can go to my grave happy.

To y’all who said Harbaugh can’t win a big game, up yours! He just won the biggest game there is.

Thank you, Jim Harbaugh. Thank you, Cade McNamara, Hassan Haskins and J. J. McCarthy. Thank you, Blake Corum, Andrel Anthony, Josh Ross and all the Michigan Wolverines who gave us this victory today.
