I'm totally impressed by Swampy's total investment in USF. And that's totally sincere.

We got to the Sundome at 5 pm Friday for h'orderves and drinks in the Hardwood Club before the Women's game. Head Coach, Jose Fernandez, comes into the club prior the game to give a preview with a little insight on what his game plan is. He also answers questions. (If you ever wondered where the head coach is during warm-ups, there you go.)

 

The 1st soccer match between Tulsa and SMU ran long. The USF/UConn match didn't start until after the men's basketball game started, so we skipped the soccer. Instead, we partook of the buffet in the Arena Club, for the men's game, and watched the second half of the WBB game. After that game we switched to our MBB seats and watched that debacle. (It's going to be a long season if COA doesn't get the defense straightened out.)

 

Between the free wine at the Hardwood Club, the wine that came with the MBB buffet, and me supplementing her in between, Mrs. S got hammered. That set up Saturday, though she was fine after a good night's sleep. Problem was, the good night's sleep involved her not getting up until noon, so we missed the women's soccer match,but got to the tailgate a little early.

 

Saturday was a great day/night for college football. Temp stayed in the low 70's with a slight breeze. Great game. Great win. Felt like old times in Ray Jay. Mrs. S had to drive home, this time. I couldn't feel my face.

 

Yesterday afternoon, we were back in the Hardwood Club before the WBB vs Drexel game.

 

Coach Fernandez is a riot. Somebody asked about the new player from Kenya, who played shortly in the previous game and looked terrible. Jose said, "You mean the young lady who looked like she had not seen a basketball, much less dribbled it, in her entire life? Nancy had a bad 3 minutes."

 

We got home from the game last night and the weekend finally caught up with me. I came on here for a few minutes, then crashed.

 

Ain't over, yet, though. We get to see how bad UK will whip up on USF tonight, as the Bulls host NJIT.

Last week's 4 events in 4 days yield...

Mrs. S and I are sicker than all get out. My temp is 102.5 and I'm freezing to death. Mrs. S's fever has broke for the time being. I lost my lunch at the Savannah State/USF game this afternoon. Mrs. S stayed home for that one. I then went to work after the game. Had a bad server.

 

Checked with the kids in Apopka. Nobody is sick there. Must have caught a bug in Miami.
