It was frustrating but I wouldn't say that you didn't miss much. It was like watching Yellowstone. You never know what's going to happen next but there's a very good chance that it will be interesting and unexpected.

I saw the badminton play from Brock, is there more?

In the two minute offense at the end of the game on fourth down Brock scrambled for a first down and got it. Instead of sliding at that point he saw an opening and continued toward the sideline. It looked like he might pick up a few more yards and get out of bounds to stop the clock - he was ahead of the nearest tackler, but the guy stripped the ball it bounced back about 4 yards and Brock fell on it - but it was no longer a first down. Ball game.

I think you should ask that your back-to-back-to-back classes be in different buildings. You can run from building to building between classes. That way, you could sort of follow your dream of being the spunky young intern that is willing to do whatever it takes (within certain bounds) to get her foot in the door in the fashion industry.



note: I may have seen too many romcoms in my life.

Well, they actually are in 3 separate buildings as of this morning. The third involves the old crossing of campus, which isn't bad, but if they're dinking around and moving stuff, might as well do it in my favor and make my life easier.

So I asked the chair, since that's the procedure and I'm not even hired yet. I suspect that ISU's response will be to move the first to a spot much farther away.

It's strange to see that they aren't just doing morning classes on the hour (like 9, 10, 11), but instead like 8:50-9:40, though the 15 minute gaps in between seem better than 10.

Have you ever seen Wind River and/or Hell or High Water? Both are by Sheridan and feature many of the same actors. Great hidden gems.

Besides the fumble that Velo mentioned, there was the Hummell tipped-ball interception, a terrific sack with 2 minutes to go to keep Clemson out of field goal range, an outstanding Purdy scramble to pick up a first down, a long field goal by Mevis that started out bad and hooked through the goal posts, and Campbell getting angry at the refs about the Clemson band playing during the offensive cadence. Also, Jalen Noel is really fast.

Also, there was a terrible pass by Clemson to a double-covered receiver that bounced straight up and came down in the receiver's hands.

My husband's cousin's 8 yo son, who we only see once a year or once every other year, said one time "I know I know you, but I don't know who you are." (i.e. - I recognize you, but a) don't remember your names, and b) how you're related to dad)

Flipping channels around four and found Band of Brothers on the History channel. On episode 9 now, with one more left.

The good news is, I've been sitting up since 3, alternately letting my foot rest on the floor and propping it up on an ottoman, and I'm still tolerating it.
