COTTON BOWL AWAITS & OTHER STUFF

 

              I am not blaming Jayden Fielding for doing a Scott Norwood on Saturday nights lost to IU. Instead I am looking forward to the winner of the Texas A&M vs Miami Hurricanes on December 31st for the Cotton Bowl hopefully I will have that night off from Dollar General to watch it Ill just have to wait & see what happens with work as well to see who we play next. In other news on Friday prior to me going to my school job I had a package waiting for me to enjoy. As I type this post I have yet to open the package to inspect it for to see if their is any damages to a Mirror that I am very thankful from a fellow Blogger "Not Another Card Blog" run by a great Canadian Historian of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame one Mr. Mike Matson. I reached out to Mike wishing that he had a PayPal Account Low & Behold he said he did I asked if he was willing to help me out on getting a couple of Mirrors I need for my Man Cave I have yet to do a more featured post on these maybe Ill get to it at the begining of next year since I am very busy as of late at work & such. I sent the Mike the Payment for it on Friday hopefully he gets it soon so thanks again Mike Ill let ya know how it turns out when I open it. I still need 2 more of the Mirrors check my personal PC for the list of the remaining ones I hope are the last 2 I need. 

            Come later on today I am looking forward to my 2nd chance to do my holiday shopping I went yesterday to start it I am not sure how many days Ill get to do my shopping as I mentioned before I am either at school or at Dollar General jobs & with a new store manager they have to work the kinks out on the scheduling so hopefully I am not running myself crazy wondering when I might be able to have time to myself as well spend time with my significant other of going on for 11 years next year. Sorry I do apologize for making this post short but I am exhausted from walking around carrying presents that aren't meant for me I leave ya with the wotds of Rogers Hornsby when it comes to autographs "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."

WHAT DO THESE 9 TEAMS & I HAVE IN COMMON

             

            What do the Atlanta Braves,Baltimore Orioles,Colorado Rockies,Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim,Minnesota Twins,San Diego Padres,San Francisco Giants,Texas Rangers,Washington Nationals & this Blogger have in common? Were all getting new managers. Care to have me explain well....back on November 21st when I got a rare night off. Yes!!!!!! its true Virginia I got a rare night off from my job at Dollar General. Anyways I was downtown preparing to watch the lighting of the State Christmas Tree when I noticed I had a text message from a co-worker as well a missed call but I thought maybe I might have butt-dialed the district manager so I thought I call her back saying sorry about the butt-dial I tried to call her but her voice mail was full so I couldn't leave a message so then I refocused on my coworkers text message that I had to read it said "Man I have some News our Store Manager just got fired right in front of me" my reply was "WTF!!!!!! no way" I was just about to ask details when my phone rang it was the district manager she said "I have some news to tell you that So-so is no longer with Dollar General your still employed so don't worry" after wiping my brow & catching my breath I was like "Otay what's next" "We'll we will have a new manager for your store sometime after Thanksgiving in the meantime work the remaining scheduled hours as scheduled if you have any problems with the schedule contact me & here's the new # for the combinations to the safes as well the alarm codes (more on the Alarm later) talk you down the road" I then relayed the information to my coworker what I just gotten in the call he was like "I know she told me the same thing before she left." Anyways so yeah I am getting a new manager much like the teams I mentioned before.

                     I don't know what to expected when this new person will start if its a male manager or are we staying with a female again either way I hope they will work with me in letting me have my summer vacation when I go to Chicago in 2026 as well let me continue to come in at a later time on when I attend my monthly show in Livonia as well let me have time off when if I request it in months of advance unlike the previous store manager did. As well give me a raise in pay for all the backlash I had to endure this year. I doubt that last one will occur but I can dream. As I type this message lately I have been getting messages from the District Manager she wonders why I am not doing everything expected for me to do what more can I do when theres only 2 of us working in the store at all times I have so much dirt on some employees why am I being singled out on what I do as well what I don't do communication is one thing my coworkers sometimes have problems with when I ask what is there for me to do especially when I do get those rare times when I am not scheduled to work.  

Heres the Christmas Tree at the state capital of Michigan ain't it pretty.

           Like the teams I mentioned at the top hopefully they can get along with their new manager & I hope I can as well stay tuned I am sure Ill have more to say about this adventure until then I am reminded what Rogers Hornsby once said "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."

BRING ON IU

     It was 2091 days ago since the last time that THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY won against the Team up North playing at the Outhouse in Fanny Farbor on Saturday. As Sage & I were sitting down, me with my 3 hot dogs, cheesy breadsticks, cheese curds, 4 bottles of 1 liter Pepsi & Sage had her snacks of Friskies Delickables of chicken,fish,steak & egg gearing up for THE GAME. We were ready all week long we both said we don't want to have the streak reach 5 games. On Friday we watched the 1987 game as well the 2006 game. So we sat down turning the TV on then saw them moving to score the field goal hoping that was the only time they would score today. Then we saw the interception Sage let out a huge hiss I agreed with her that they should have thrown a flag after the play cause they did a cut throat celebration but no flag instead they kicked another field goal 6-0 comes from a friend of mine in a text saying as well ".....5 in a row I should start preparing for my singing session as well having my wardrobe in corn (maize) & Bleah (blue)" I responded like legendary ESPN analysis & former Indiana University Head Coach (more on IU later keep reading) Lee Corso said once to a little kid "Not so fast ya Flamingo(I think ya know what I said instead) Midget we'll be scoring soon." Sure enough before the 1st quarter was done we got on the board 6-3 quick message to the friend ".....No shutdown tonight & at least we're not afraid to throw it or run it compared to a certain 5 *coughing* tooled frosh Quarterback that was supposed to throw bombs on us or scramble if needs to run to avoid our defense" his response was "its cold outside" I responded "I'm Jul ian Sayin (like that little play on THE OHIO STATE quarterbacks name) our quarterback is outside too but he's hotter than yours"

           

        2nd quarter we watched as Jeremiah Smith haul in a touchdown catch to put them up 10-6 & then we saw them score another field goal then just before the end of the 1st half we see Brandon Inniss tight walk the line to make the score 17-9.

        Once the start of the 2nd half Sage ran out of snacks as we watched the snow fall on the field & watched Brutus making a snow angel as well watch the field crew trying clean up his effort.

Brutus's snow angel 

Just have to wonder if he got a raise for cleaning up the field but missed a bunch of the Bleah 💩 on the sideline. 

Then we saw Carnell Tate make a nice 50 yard catch to say the score 24-9. Unfortunately by then I turned to Sage said well.....we got IU next week she then got off my lap looking at me saying she was off to nap & then she left me alone to watch the celebration on the field.  The final score cause we got another field goal to make it 27-9 so bring on IU!!!!!!

Now I leave it to Coach Day instead of Rogers Hornsby to leave the quote "The best thing to do is win with humility"

Well said Coach congratulations.
