Army Navy Game

For as long as I can recall, I have watched the battle of the service academies play their rival football game...pulled for the Cadets, as that is where my eldest brother went to college...United States Military Academy...there is more to the story, but suffice to say, that is enough for the blog...the level of play, probably not as high as the very good teams in the country...but, really, who cares...as there is so much passion, honor, and tradition on display...not only on the field, but in the stands, and the power of the 2 schools alumni, throughout the World...either retired, or on duty, representing the USA wherever they are stationed...in protection of us...

Their cries of 'Beat Army' or 'Beat Navy' is but a brief respite in their everyday job...the result of this season's game?...Navy dominated...with a terrific performance by their QB slash running back...did so for over 300 yds...and it was as one sided as the score...31-7...still, the pomp and circumstance, made me watch 'til the end...the singing of their anthems...

Over, er down under...there, in Australia...the Americans pulled off a quaint little rally and beat the International Team...16-14...ah, doesn't get closer, unless they tie...I suppose there are some who get into the us against them stuff...I like parts...but, enjoy more...the quality of play...how these Pros can manipulate the little golf ball around...and into the hole...under pressure...Tiger is STILL at another level of golf...truly is amazing to gander at the best dude EVER to play the game, continue his talent...at his age...way coo...

You maybe know my penchant for the misnaming of the best player in the collegiate ranks...the Heisman Trophy...not who wins, but, who it is named after...which I have covered before...check it out...anyhoo, notwithstanding, the winner this season was the QB out of LSU...for moi, I would wait until the bowl games and playoffs have concluded...THEN, have the vote...

Maybe this is a bit much...but Teerump was in attendance at the Army/Navy game...and...stood out like a sore thumb...did you see this?...it was NOT, where's Waldo?...more, like what doesn't belong here?...I digress...

How is your present hunting going?...ah, Jr, I didn't say pheasant hunting...with or without a tag...the completion of said tasks, become quite laborious at times...finding the perfect gift...then, hoping it really is...will it fit?...the right color?...did you save the sales slip?...c'mon, these are the real Q's that must be answered...we are using our upcoming Vegas trip as our duo gift...yet, something must go under the tree...so...

Later on last eve...I was watching some highlights of the college hoops...on ESPN, I think...the Ducks beating Michigan was one...nice W...but, here we go...the other part of the presentation...was showing the Duck Ladies in their win...what?...must say, that was a first that I have seen...was it because right after the win, this old NBA Pro, wanted to get into the winner's photo?....one Kobe Bryant, who is a big fan of the Ducks...listen, kids, these gals are good....really good...it's just not UConn anymore...

This week will be monumental for the House of Reps...as they will vote in total, as to whether or not...Impeach Trump...the fact that it will happen, is one more significant measure of how this government shall work...there will be side stories...there will be acts that will confuse us all...before I pass on added comments, let's just take this one step at a time...maybe, one could count the number of Tweets coming from the White House as a measuring stick...his cry of 'the do nothing Democrats'...will be first and foremost...maybe...they will do at least one thing...maybe...Impeach him...

Time for some Red Zone...I tell ya, cuz, I got no fantasy team, I am not looking at who is playing whom...just sit back and enjoy the games...


Finally, on this day back in 1980...our lives were changed forever, as our son Cristopher Allan Joseph, was born....then, this past year...he and his wife, Leila, had their first son...Cyrus Allan Joseph....it has been another good year...
