1. To show further proof that I love my wife more than football, I want to say this first: Happy Birthday Mrs. Undaground. Her birthday was actually Sunday, but we will continue to celebrate throughout the week, culminating in a trip to the Melting Pot this weekend for some delicious meats and cheese, fondue-style. Mrs. U is the proud new owner of "Oprah's Favorite Robe", available online. I trust Oprah, so I'm hoping the robe keeps its super-soft texture through her entire maternity leave. I got her a pair of slipper from the same company, but no mention of Oprah. Perhaps Oprah has some other favorite slippers that I'm unaware of.
2. WVU disposed of in-state stepbrother Marshall in impressive fashion. 42-10 for any of you who are keeping count. This week, it's Division I-AA powerhouse Eastern Washington. Thanks again to the Sarasota Mountaineer fan club for a good time on Saturday. To cap off a glorious college football weekend, the Miami Hurricanes lost last night. That ranks just behind a WVU win when it comes to making me happy.
3. Of course, it couldn't be a perfect football weekend. Despite a stellar live fantasy football draft featuring much fried food and beer in Sarasota, there was some bad news. Ben Roethlisberger is out for the season opener because he had emergency surgery to remove his appendix. And yes, I just typed "emergency surgery to remove his appendix" to avoid trying to spell "appendectomy". Although now that I look back, I think I spelled it correctly.
4. RIP. Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. What a shame. I have enjoyed many hours of entertainment on Discovery Channel and Animal Planet thanks to him over the years, and now he's gone. I'm sure he will live on in reruns and someday my little boy will jump on our cat and say "Crikey", but the world of dangerous animal entertainment has lost a shining star.

Just got back from Charleston and was unable to find any cute baby or kids WVU wear. Did see a neat garden gnome though. Loved watching the game on WCHS in Charleston but could have done without Gov. Manchin talking so much during the game, he is so like his dad A. James who was Secretary of State for years. Was shocked to see that several of the polls had us going down in the rankings.
