FSU vs Troy

Leading Off - I feel like this week has been going on for at least a month. I never thought Friday would come, and I certainly never thought quitting time would be upon me. Here are a few highlights from the week that was.

FSU vs Troy - Okay, so not exactly a highlight, but worth mentioning. FSU should have lost. Maybe the entire coaching staff would have been fired, including Bobby. That’s right, I don’t like Bobby Bowden. You know what I say? “What have you done for me lately?” He’s great for recruiting, I’ll grant you that. But he’s useless on the sidelines, and his son is even more useless as the offensive coordinator. But anyway, Troy played a great game and FSU played a terrible one. I really like Troy’s QB. He was able to throw on the run, something all of our most recent QBs have tried to do with limited success.

I got to go to this game. I was given a ticket about an hour before kickoff. Someone who turned in a student ticket with the Nav block didn’t pick theirs up, so Curtis gave it to me. I thought we’d be killing Troy by halftime and I’d get to leave. I wanted to watch the Texas/Ohio State matchup. But I had to stay for the whole game, and by the time it was done I was so bent out of shape I didn’t want to watch any more football. Just as well; watching my sister’s team lose would have only depressed me.

Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That - Anyone who’s seen a lot of Seinfeld will recognize that reference and why it’s appropriate here. While I was at the game I was standing with a freshman named Quentin. He lives on the third floor of Kellum and he’s one of the guys who’s been hanging around the Navs this semester. We were talking about something when he turns and points to a girl behind us and says, “That girl’s pretty cute.” I thought he was pointing at my friend Tiffany. I also thought it my duty to point out to him that she was dating Brandon, who was standing behind her. So I say to him while pointing, “She’s dating the guy right there.” He asks me how long and a couple of other questions. Then he said something that I wasn’t quite expecting. “Well, you know, I’m cool with that. I was apart of the drama club in high school, if that tells you anything.” I stand there and nod for a second, trying to make sense of what that could mean. Then it occurs to me! I turn to him and say, “Wait. What did you think I just said?” He says, “You told me you were dating the guy right there.” What?! No! So I had to try to sort that out and tell him that Brandon was dating the girl he pointed at. And it turns out he wasn’t even pointing at Tiffany! ARGH!! Then it was just a little too awkward to stand next to him, so I moved back a few rows. Man, I can’t believe I outed myself. Nice one Andrew.

Splash! - Last night after Nav Night we tossed three people into Westcott fountain. It was actually Lauren Paxton’s twentieth birthday, so she went first. But after that we got Aubrey and Ashley, who have had birthdays relatively recently. I was happiest for Luke. This was his first tossing since coming here on EDGE Corps. He will probably have some photos up on his blog later on.

Elder Affairs - More of the same: lots and lots of data entry. I suppose I’m getting better at it. Maybe? I don’t know, I can enter more forms into the system in a day than I could last week. That’s something, right? Actually, I have been assigned to a team making ID cards for the SHINE volunteers, which will be fun because it will involve some graphic design. But the bulk of my working day is still pretty dry. But I got paid today, so that makes it all worth it!

The rest - I really do believe that Clemson will beat FSU this weekend. The only way FSU will win is if the running game decides to go through the holes the offensive line opens up rather than dancing around in the backfield. And I just don’t see it happening. I doubt I’ll be able to get a ticket to this one, just because it’s a bigger game, but we’ll see.
