An Up and Down Week of American Football

 

Wed.-Tues., Dec. 9-15, 2020

The week started out with such great promise for Washington Husky football . . .

After all, we were playing Northwest

rival Oregon with the winner earning

a spot in the PAC-12 Championship Game

The Huskies were currently atop the PAC-12 North standings with a 3-1 record while the Oregon Ducks were tied for second at 3-2 with Stanford.

It shaped up to be a real old fashioned

slobber-knocker of a game!

Then this announcement was made

This latest Coronavirus outbreak would eventually wind up being the reason for the game's cancellation.

Since these Covid-19 cancelled games do not count in the standings, it meant that . . .

. . . the Huskies would square off

against the 5-0, PAC-12 South Champion

USC Trojans at the L.A. Coliseum

for the PAC-12 Title

Nope, the Huskies Coronavirus issues were still too severe so the Oregon Ducks took their spot against the Trojans.

Just another of Paul Sabolic's "Why bother?" moments in this fouled up 2020 football season.

Jacob was still happy eating

Fruit Loops with McDonald's

French fries on . . .

. . . an L.A. Rams Thursday night

GAME DAY!

The struggling, 6-6 Patriots were in Los Angeles to play the 8-4 Rams.

Same goes for most of the Rams

Another solid win for the Rams

The L'Hospitalet Pioners won

their season opener in Barcelona

This is the team that I help from afar via the wondrous HUDL app by breaking down their practice and game videos.

THANK GOODNESS!

As you well know, many people go all out decorating the outside of their homes during then holiday season.

A house about a block away from us has attempted to capture the spirit of Christmas in a rather . . .

. . . unique way

This pretty much sums up

my plans for Christmas

Dieting is always mad up

of a series of sacrifices

Surprise!

On Tuesday, about an hour before my scheduled weekly Zoom meeting with the Varese Skorpions this time to discuss all of the ins and outs of the Play Action Passing Game, a box was delivered to our home.

Six bottles of Prosecco and two bottles of Aperol were inside the box, holiday gifts from the Skorpions to say GRAZIE for all of our Zoom clinics.

They should last us through the weekend.

Merry Christmas from

Ventura, California

We made a rare trip outside of Camarillo to a deserted Ventura in order to purchase a new kitchen table that Laurie wanted as her Christmas present.

I think we got a good deal on an excellent table.

Hopefully, this table will not be cancelled due to Coronavirus.
