Thanks BC. Good college sports weekend at the household with GT, Stanford, Cal, Navy, and UVA all winning. Something gives next week in Charlottesville but I'll be in the Wahoo student section hoping to be smug at the end of the night.

The noon ESPN game Saturday was a fantastic game outside of half of South Carolina. Hopefully as Dabo said, LSU and Tech are good teams. It certainly wasn't lost on me that the Tigers had won nine in a row over us in mostly uncompetitive games and as recently as five years ago, with a merciful 11,000 in attendance at Bobby Dodd due to COVID restrictions, Clemson scored 66 consecutive points to break open a 7-7 game. I think Trevor Lawrence had something like 5 TDs and every Tech fan remembers the 404 passing yards like it was taking a swipe at Geoff Collins' marketing (and he wasn't anything more than that). At one point, they had their punter under center and he was slinging it, while the announcers laughed. "Clemson and a bunch of pretenders."

So, that was satisfying. A 55 yard walk off field goal with the clock running down. Not a fluke and it feels like Tech has brought itself up more than Clemson has fallen back to earth. And the biggest deal was thinking Tech was going to win after Clemson tied it with 3 minutes and change, rather than lose. Fun team to watch. Might be down there for my 40th in late October.

We flipped back and forth between Cal and Stanford before my blood pressure finally came down from earlier in the day and I passed out. Cal looks legit.
