Football is finally back

Whew, football season took forever to return, or so it felt. This year the Duck start out ranked 3rd or 4th, depending on the poll, and Bama is 2nd. My Raiders are starting a new QB, and won their preseaon matchup with Seattle. There's hope. 

Of course, week one Ducks games always a guaranteed blow out win. This year was no different. Week two is when they tend to challenge themselves by playing a nationally renowned, well ranked team. This year is no different. It's Michigan State tomorrow. I'll be hopping, hollering, even screeching while I watch tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

As for the Raiders, though I was watching,I wasn't paying close attention. I suspect Seattle had 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th string floating through while Oakland played 1st ansd 2nd...maybe 3rd. But, if injuries prevail on their opponents, at least we know Oakland has a good core. As Snoop said in quoting Al Davis while sipping on his gin, Just win baby, win.

Football also signals we are about two months away from the fall elections. The tv ads have commenced, much tomy chagrin. I reallyhate seeing the same add every commercial break. No, seriously, I do. All that does is make me wish the damn elections were now so I didn't habe to see this, regardless of candidate/political party. I just want to watch the game.

As chair of the Polk County Democrats, I'm working on plugging events into my calendar and hoping none conflict with the games I really want to see. I do want to be involved in local and statewide politics, I just want to be able to catch my games. It does help,many events happen at wineries, or at times that allow me tonget back in time to flip on the game. But,  don't ask me about doing something on Nov. 1st, I'm already busy.  Go Ducks, #WTD & Roll Tide Roll #Bama
