Gracias...

The work is amazing and so helpful.

S—K, this is another thread that deserves praise. I stop in multiple times a week to catch up on the games I did not get to watch. I can read a box score, but your write ups give me a flow of how the game played out. Definitely a tool I use in capping games the following week. Thanks for posting weekly.

 

[s--k]

Thank you both. I like to do it for my own benefit and glad others take some positives from it as well.

Yeah I suck.

I forget so much stuff from watching games, I need to refresh everything.

I thought a few times about taking notes while I watch games, but I'm watching 8 sometimes 9-10 games literally at once, it's just very reactionary. So I stay in that moment and get caught up later.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

I was trying to be super ironic by saying you suck! :bigcry:

You're the man sk! :blowkiss:

I know, I was being sarcastic. I'm awesome!

28-20 South Carolina in a whacky one. SC drove for TD and then on their next possession a miscommunication between Bentley and the WR resulted in a INT at the S25, the Gator player appears to have a pick-six, but fumbles at the 1 and SC player picks it up in the EZ and runs out for a 24y gain. 1st down SC! SC punts, but Florida muffs it at the F47, but then another Bentley INT at the 1 is returned down the sideline just barely getting tripped up. But Florida punts and SC drives for 14-0 lead. Florida punts and the ball is touched by an SC player and Florida gets it at the S38 end of first qrt, I forget the exact yardage shown on TV but was something like 148 to 25 for SC at this point.
