It feels so good to finally have football season in full swing. In the last couple of years I've pretty much given up all my hobbies. I sold the recording studio, completely stopped playing or even listening to any music other than background music, hung up the golf clubs, and gave up trying to find or start a church. I've been a little bored in my spare time but really there hasn't been much spare time. Work has kept me pretty busy which has been a blessing since next year we will be adding a baby to the mix and I did these things intentionally to get my life ready for that change. Anyway, I've really needed a little fun back in my life and football is just the guilty pleasure I needed.

So far so good...

Georgia just had an easy win last night against a horrible South Carolina team. It is always nice to play bad and still win and SC usually provides that for us each year. Seeing the painful looks on Steve Spurrier's face all night was about as pleasing a sight as I've seen in a while. Talk about Karma, that man has a lot more of those painful weekends in his future. Matt Stafford got his first serious playing time and gave us a glimpse of his talent. He will be a star and It looks like that will happen sooner rather than later.

Today all the pro teams I've been pulling for have won too. Falcons and Eagles won and losses by the Broncos and Cheifs leave my beloved Raiders with a shot at sole possession of 1st place in the AFC West if they can somehow manage to win their opener against San Diego. I'm not holding my breath, but I do feel like the Raiders will be a step closer to respectability this year. This is the one week in the year when all my teams are in first place. Lets see if that lasts through 2 weekends.
