1. Tomorrow night is officially the biggest regular season game in WVU football history. ESPN 730pm. Check it out. It is my football equivalent of Christmas morning, except I will not be drinking eggnog and instead of “Silent Night”, I’ll be singing “Country Roads”. I will not make any predictions except for one: If we lose, I will cry real tears. I’m not afraid to say it. I haven’t cried in a very long time (3 weeks – Field of Dreams was playing on HBO2), but I will sob like a pregnant woman watching a Hallmark commercial if we falter. As far as the game is concerned, until Pat White loses a game as starting quarterback – something he’s never done – I have to think he’ll win every game. Go Mountaineers.
2. The Undaling’s first Halloween was a lot of fun. It’s nice to be able to experience holidays again through the eyes of a child. I’m sure it will get better when he actually understands what’s going on. Since he’s only been alive for exactly one month, he probably thinks Halloween happens every few weeks. I hope he’s not disappointed when he realizes it’s a yearly thing. His favorite treat is, oddly enough, breastmilk. I’m guessing it had a festive flavor last night since Mrs. U really likes the new Butterfinger Crisp bars that we were giving out.
3. For someone who grew up in Michigan, Madonna has a very thick British accent. I think I might start speaking with a Ukranian accent, just for kicks.

What did you dress the little tike up as??
Hope the weather was better there than here in Ohio. Can't wait for the game tomorrow night and will be having a hard time being calm if Louisville keeps it close. Have you been on the ESPN site and voted on the Big East and how the teams will do if they stay undefeated. I'm worried that the Ohio State vs. Michigan game will be close and the loser won't drop in the polls.
Anonymous,
He went as a pumpkin with arms and legs. I'll post a photo as soon as they're uploaded. Unfortunately, all of the cool costumes for newborns were sizes 0-9 months. In the real world, that apparently means 9 months because they were way too big. Next year will be his true Halloween coming-out party.
wvu fan,
I expect to be stressed out for the entire evening. I was stressed out when we were up 28-0 on UGA. There is nothing fun for me about watching a game. Anything within 35-or-so-points is too close.
I did vote on ESPN.
I wouldn't worry about OSU/UM loser. There is no way the powers-that-be that make TV will allow a rematch as their marquee game. Sitting at #3 right now with our toughest schedule ahead of us, we are in if we win out. There's a ton of work left to do, though, and it begins now. Same goes for Louisville. With the computer polls the way they are now, the only way a one-loss team has a chance is if Rutgers ends up undefeated. (They probably wouldn't have the juice to leap-frog all those teams). LET'S GO MOUNTAINEERS.
