All in all, not so bad
Well, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Tigers pulled together and played today. First half was a little rough. I agree with the announcers- too much trickery attempted and too many fancy play calls for a first game after everything has happened. Once they went to simple "get the job done" plays they did much better. I also loved the enthusiasm I saw in Dabo Swinney. I like him a lot and I am excited to see what he is going to do for the rest of this season. I have to say that as much as I didn't want Cullen Harper to go on the field today- he did a pretty good job out there. A few questionable ref calls today, but what else is new... So, all in all- not bad. I'll be a Tiger no matter what happens- ever- so you just learn to roll with the bad times... Brian is on call this weekend, so I'm single-parenting for a few days. Annelise's last soccer game was this morning. Gettin' cold so I am glad we won't be running out the door early on Saturday mornings for that anymore for a while. Came home, fixed lunch, watched Clemson, now watching Alabama and then tonight I'll be watching the chickens play LSU. That's gonna be a tough one, because I cannot stand LSU, and also cannot stand the chickens, so I guess I'll just be watching to watch- not really pulling for either team! The girls have had a friend over all day, so they were well entertained. Tomorrow the girls and I are going to an apple orchard after church for a picnic lunch and some apple picking activities. That should be fun. I don't like to do stuff like that without B with me- but my parents are going, so it should be ok! Anyway- prepare for some pics from that soon. Have fun watching some football today or whatever you may be watching!!

Yes! It was a Dabo of this and a Dabo of that:) I was happy even though they needed a win. I am content that they are not good and they need to just learn to play together this season...I saw some of that today. I LOVED, LOVED...the emotion I saw in Dabo. I hope he can do something with them and maybe even stay:) The players seemed to respond to him...I just hope they can keep on keeping on because I'm sure more lossed are in store. I also loved how the fans were all "in it" with them ...made me proud today. I think it was nice to have the AD on the field showing support however I'm not sure he should have stayed the whole game...but then again I don't know the reason or the relationship they have...for me it would have been added stress...but Dabo handled himself well.
I'm with you...my love for them is there always and I hope it will be uphill from here:)
I've got to quit writing so much...I get so excited about the Tigers and when I got all of the news last week my first instict was to pick up the phone and call all of you Tigers.
and....GO LSU!
Oh yeah..do you have a good recipe for the Key Lime Cake. Everybody loved this one...but I wasn't crazy about it.
I love the rapport he had with the players. Even though we didn't pull out a win, I was happy too!
