Anchor Down and FSU out of Top 25 Vandy poked the bear and got flat out demolished. I expected a better game than that…

FSU just got whipped at home by a good but not great NC State team. And, while bummed, I was not at all surprised. Sad but true... Florida continues to be the luckiest team in the country and I feel a little bad for Kentucky fans…At least Del Rio will get the start against Vandy. Probably not as strong an arm as Franks, but a much more confident QB. Vandy will be tough Saturday, despite how awful Bama made them look. The suspended players now have felony charges...oh boy... Empty stadiums in some college football venues, as we fans are indeed fair weather at times, not just the climate of course.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* The real issue to address is the NFL players kneeling during the national anthem. When Kapernick did it, it angered me because I considered it a publicity stunt. I will have a hard time not thinking of him as a punk and do not think he is good enough to be a NFL QB, but I’m not a GM. Then the CHIEF EXECUTIVE TWEETER got involved. NEVER has democracy had a leader determined to polarize a country than this. I guess Mr. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation riled up some folks, but good for Abe. After the tweets, I’m all for the NFL folks to do what they want, just to spite this Tweeting Donald. I’m a patriot and I sure wish they would find another way to make their point, other than “defiling” the national anthem. But, they have the right, as long as their employer(s) allows it. I long for leadership that UNITES this country, and it appears that we are at least 3 ½ years away from the possibility. Use terms like “SOB” in private if you must, but don’t tweet that crap. This from a man who says “punch her in the pu***”. And somehow has so many of the far right worshiping him…God help us. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& In prep ball Mater Dei continues to roll and hold onto the MaxPreps top spot. If they run the table with that schedule, they get my vote. The IMG all star team is #2 and have just as impressive a resume. St Thomas Aquinas and Grayson out of Atlanta also have #1 caliber schedules and resumes. Crestview beat West Florida, who was ranked higher and favored, so at this point, it sure looks like my Dawgs are one of the better teams in north Florida (Navarre and Niceville will have their say eventually). Speaking of Dogs, Georgia showed Miss State who the big dogs are in the SEC. A trip to Neyland will not likely be fun for the Vols, who barely escaped UMASS… in football. The Firebirds won big!

Also in Durham, the Dukies beat rival UNC over the weekend and now they get MIAMI on a Friday night special. Trip to Tejas on the weekend agenda!
