The hours before the Super Bowl

TR.....I'll have two hours of individual pitching lessons and then five hours of baseball camp that will end at 6pm, then I'll go watch the Super Bowl someplace, perhaps home.

Hitting and fielding lesson/practice and then rushing home for the kick-off.

I'll be spending all of tomorrow morning staking out a good seat in front of that beautiful 72" wide screen...as soon as Circuit City opens their door..I'm in! Go Bears!

Been a good Miamian I am resting the whole night and all tomorow morning in preparation for a big super bowl pary around the swimming pool with a Lot of friends.

Hummmm, the super bowl is on tomorrow?

Just joking of course, but not a big football fan here. We are going to watch it, but I'll probably just be cleaning the house or something beforehand. Nothing exciting!

Recab that is down right mean

Didn't get above 0 today and colder tomorrow. However the perch are biting and we plan on a fresh fish fry for the game so we'll bundle up, spend a couple hours on the ice tomorrow morning and have a day of eating artery clogging delectables. Fresh fish, french fries, venison sausage, a poparri of cheese, and wash it down with a couple cold ones.

Cold ones? Are you referring to the perch?

My wife and I just finished a brisk two mile walk, half of which was into the teeth of the 15 to 20 mph wind out of the west. It's 0 degrees with a 25 to 30 degree wind chill. Brrr!

Probably will stay in tonight and use the treadmill instead of bundling up again.

Got, Everything is cold this weekend.

But if you've never had it there's nothing better than fresh perch caught through the ice. My buddys shanty seats 6, has a heater, and generator for the tv. He even has an underwater camera to see the fish. Now that is neat. He is old school though and keeps a 38" wood bat inside as the enforcer when we do overnighters. We laugh about that because who in their right mind would rob a bunch of guys sitting on the ice in the middle of night who smell like fish .

I think you are ready for a romantic around the fireplace super bowl night.

I will be watching Mars Hill vs UNC Pembroke baseball at 1 PM for a nine inning game, then hitting the road in my nice warm car for a 4.5 hour ride home. Hate I will miss those commercials!!!

With 5 other guys wearing flanel

Get up, go to church, come home, kick back in my recliner, get some work done for a doctoral class I am taking (all while watching the pre-game breakdown of the 3rd team long snappers), throw a Garlic Bread Pizza in the over (it's not delivery, just tastes that way), and watch for the funniest commercials during the game.

That's a much better day than catching the super bowl IMO! I'm jealous!!

Well, so far this weekend I have watched 3.5 college baseball games on the ACC website (Miami/Mercer is still on as we speak)

No games online tomorrow...might have to watch the Miami/Mercer games again, they have both been good games.

Not a huge NFL fan but did just get a 42" LCD and HD this week so the NFL network looks really good.

Will also eat more food than on Thanksgiving Day!

Hmmmm, being a Packer fan in Chicago is kind of tough tomorrow. I'll rest in the morning, try to get to church, but we'll see since I'd have to leave early. 4 Hours of coaching a camp, then off to watch the game with my dad, brother, and cousin and try to be as nice to them as possible after the Colts make a game of it.

If it's rainy and windy like I've heard it could be, Bears by a field goal. If the conditions are pretty good to perfect, Colts by 14. That is if their DLine can pick up the slack from their gimpy secondary.

02^04Mom, A former teammate/player of mine plays for Pembroke. Please report on the game for me, especially if #25 gets on the mound at all.

CC,
What did you do wrong in your life to deserve such a punishment?

I'm guessing it isn't so much what CC did wrong...it's more what the Packers did right over the past 15 or 20 years! There are lots of Packer fans in Chicago, native Chicagoans, who have never lived in Wisconsin.

As Americans we send the Red Cross and other groups into gravest of situations so I guess as Wisconsinites we can try to pick up Illinois. The cards are stacked against us but if we have enough extra in our pockets to pay those tolls to get in and out we will try our hardest. The first thing we want to do is get a professional baseball team in the State to represent the National League

I've got to get my eyes checked...I read your post rz and I thought you said "the curds are stacked against us"...that wouldn't make any sense would it...coming from America's Dairyland?

"Cheez-It...here come the Wisconsinites!

Football croaked in NE Ohio about a dozen years ago. I don't care...............

Superbowl???

Huh???

Is that perhaps the best cake batter mixing bowl of all time????

TR,

I just bought a 6 foot long piece of Sopressata - and a 25 pound ball of mozzerella. We had to roll the ball of mozzerella into the house through the garage.

All I have to do now is line the industrial garbage can with a Hefty trash bag - and fill it up with about 10 gallons of some nice vino.

Are you ready for some football?

Prediction:

Colts 14

Bears 93

Da Bears

its - are you sure it will be that close?

Enjoy the vino

CD,

The Colts should be happy they have Peyton playing.
If they had Eli instead of Peyton playing QB - they would lose by 200 points. LOL

Enjoy the game!

Lets see....made an omelette, toast and coffee for me and my wife (were pretending that we don't have kids and we just met.....no, no, no, not all of the time ).

Went and watched Neal Cotts (Cubs) and Bobby Jenks (White Sox) throw bullpens at Strikes Baseball Academy. The catcher who caught them is a junior at my sons old school, Lyons Township High School. You are hearing it first, here, this kid is going to be a great catcher. Has size, blocking skills, framing skills, can hit, has great GPA, character, and will no doubtedly be the starting catcher for LT this year. Has worked with ex-pro players developing his skills. You college coaches out there, you want him in your program!!!!!

Going to dog training class this afternoon. Yeh, my wife said that the dog and me need to listen better!

For the game, its just me and mom!!!!! Miller Lite, nachos, Miller Lite, sloppy joes, Miller Lite, brats, Miller Lite, Miller Lite, Miller Lite (whats that, six??? thats enough!!!), and a Bears win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
