The Last One. . . Make it Your Best!

NCAA Football

Yep, my Aggies won on Friday night. Whoop! Sorry to my Oklahoma State friends. Those LSU Tigers demolished Oklahoma without ever looking back. Geaux, Coach O and the Tigers. And last night, Clemson eked out a victory over my nephew's Ohio State Buckeyes.


NFL - Final Week of the Regular Season

  1. NY Jets vs. Buffalo - Jets are the punching dummy for the Bills.
  2. Cleveland vs. Cincinnati - Goodbye to that braggart boy Odell Beckham, Jr.
  3. Green Bay vs. Detroit - Sorry, Lions.
  4. LA Chargers vs. Kansas City - this may be Peck's Bad Boy's last game. Thank you, Philip!
  5. Chicago vs. Minnesota - meaningless "W" for Da Bears.
  6. Miami vs. New England  - It would be something if they lost. They won't.
  7. Atlanta vs. Tampa Bay  - Bucs break even.
  8. New Orleans vs. Carolina - Panthers have lost their mojo.
  9. Washington vs. Dallas - Is today the last game for HC Jason Garrett?
  10. Oakland vs. Denver - Raiders break even for Coach Chucky.
  11. Arizona vs. LA Rams - if only Larry Fitzgerald were on the Rams team.
  12. Indianapolis vs. Jacksonville - Yawn.
  13. Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore - an opportunity for Lamar Jackson to show his dominance.
  14. Tennessee vs. Houston - JJ Watt's team prevails.
  15. San Francisco vs. Seattle - for a special student I will go with the Seahawks. Today only.

Bad News and Good News

MLB

The bad news: Monday was c-r-a-z-y! Our tile repairman was still at work when I got home from school, so I kept on working using my little Chromebook. So much so that I neglected to post about the games. The good news: one of my Tweets made it on MLB Network last night talking about Pedro Martinez's new cologne. And the shower looks gorgeous!
