Weekend Update - December 26th
Weekend Update
I finished my Christmas shopping on Saturday afternoon on my way back to the beach from lunch in Westminster in Orange County
The good University of Utah football team showed and played very well on Saturday night in Fort Worth, Texas. They clearly covered the one point spread. It has been a very good post season for the Mountain West Conference; Utah, BYU, and Texas Christian University all had impressive wins while New Mexico was outplayed by San Jose State University. Three wins in four games is very respectable for any college conference.
If it weren’t for the periodic commercials, you would have thought you clicked into a three hour long military recruiting program. I thought the best military commercial were from the Marines. They always seem to do things like this best. Their commercial caught the image and vision of the Corps. The Air Force ones were nice visuals of planes flying around.
Utes Stretch Bowl Winning Streak To Six Games With 25-13 Triumph Over Tulsa Dec. 23, 2006
Fort Worth, Texas (AP) - Fittingly, the ball was in Utah defensive standout Eric Weddle's hands when the Armed Forces Bowl ended.
Weddle had an interception on the final play Saturday night, only a minute after scoring on a 4-yard run, to cap the Utes' 25-13 victory over Tulsa. Utah has won six straight bowl games, matching the longest active streak.
"Having him end his career with that pick, you couldn't have scripted it any better," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said.
It was Weddle's final start at Utah, where in a 48-game career he was a two-time Mountain West Conference defensive player of the year who also got plenty of snaps at quarterback and running back while also holding and returning kicks.
"I'm going to cherish everything I've gained here," Weddle said. "I'm going to be a Ute forever."
The Utes (8-5) have won all of their bowl games since 1999, including two years ago when they were the first non-BCS team to play in the Bowl Championship Series and beat Pittsburgh 35-7 in the Fiesta Bowl to cap an undefeated season.
Weddle was the holder on all four field goals by Louis Sakoda -- who was actually selected the game's MVP. Weddle also ran 10 times for 56 yards, including two runs to set up the other Utah touchdown, recovered a fumble and had six tackles.
"We are losing some guys that have just been instrumental in our success, starting with this guy," Whittingham said, as Weddle sat to his right still in his grass-stained uniform.
Brett Ratliff was 23-of-34 passing for 240 yards and was credited with a 10-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, though it was actually a designed catch-and-pitch similar to a score the Utes had in their Fiesta Bowl romp. Brian Hernandez caught the ball near the line of scrimmage and pitched to Brent Casteel, who ran around the left end and leaped into the end zone.
Boston College also has won six straight bowls. The Eagles have a chance to extend their streak next Saturday against Navy in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Paul Smith scored on a pair of 1-yard keepers for Tulsa (8-5), which finished a once-promising season with its fourth loss in five games.
Sakoda kicked a 41-yard field goal on the final play of the first half to give Utah a 9-7 lead. The Utes put the game out of reach by scoring on their first two possessions after halftime, the second when they started at their own 1 after a punt.
"Those were big momentum points. They scored 13 unanswered points," Tulsa coach Steve Kragthorpe said. "We would have liked to get off the field with a 7-6 halftime lead. We had chances to get some turnovers. The guy threw it to us five times. If we had gotten those turnovers, that might have changed game."
Utah's latest bowl victory came on the TCU campus, where it played for the first time since a September 2005 game when the Utes' school-record 18-game winning streak ended in a 23-20 overtime loss against the Horned Frogs.
On the opening drive after halftime, Weddle took direct snaps on consecutive plays for runs of 7 and 10 yards. That set the Utes up at the 10 for the catch-and-pitch TD that made it 16-7. He carried six straight times on the final offensive series.
"Hammer it into the end zone. We stumped that mud hole dry and kept giving it to him," Whittingham said.
Weddle also threw a touchdown pass this season and scored three times on defense -- two interception returns and one fumble recovery.
After Utah started at its own 1, Ratliffe threw a 7-yard pass to Derrek Richards and ran for 12 yards on the next play. The Utes actually gained 92 yards on the drive, making up for two 5-yard penalties, before they had to settle for Sakoda's 34-yard field goal.
Sakoda kicked a career-long 45-yard field goal on Utah's opening possession of the game. He added a 39-yarder midway through the second quarter.
The game provided a first-time matchup of head coaches who were childhood friends. The fathers of Whittingham and Kragthorpe were on Lavell Edwards' staff together at BYU from 1973-79.
Smith's 1-yard keeper put Tulsa ahead 7-3 early in the second quarter, only after the play was reviewed to confirm the ball didn't pop out of his hands until after he stretched it across the goal line.
That ended an 80-yard drive that almost never got started for the Golden Hurricane after punt returner Idris Moss fumbled. Two Utah players missed chances to recover before freshman linebacker Mike Bryan emerged from the bottom of the pile with the ball.
Tulsa finished with only 254 total yards -- 146 below its season average that was second-best in Conference USA.
"I felt pretty positive. We've been in bad situations and came back and won," Smith said. "No elements during game surprised us. ... We didn't our job."
The fourth-year game, formerly known as the Fort Worth Bowl, was sponsored by Bell Helicopter.
Giuliano’s and Me
I was in Giuliano’s on Friday as usual to pick up my sandwich for dinner order. I stopped by when it was crowded and that happens often with me. Today, I came in at lunch time because I was at the end of my errands for the day and the sandwich could keep for a few hours in the refrigerator before my dinner.
After placing my order with Lucy, my favorite counter clerk, I had to wait for it to be made. I had on my University of South Carolina Gamecocks sweatshirt that the Princess got for me when she earned her MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina. It was cool and windy on Friday and I was dressed for the weather.
A young woman asked me if I was a Gamecocks fan. I said that I was indirectly. She was from Columbia, South Carolina, where the University is located. There is a plaque in Columbia that commemorates the time the Yankees under General William T. Sherman burned the town during the War of Northern Aggression.
For a moment, I thought about talking to the young woman since she was attractive and apparently single. Things were going along well until she mentioned that she was moving back to South Carolina to take a job in Charleston in about six weeks.
Obviously, there was no future with her.
Why would you want to leave Los Angeles for a small town place like Charleston? I guess she must like the life in the really slow lane.
The Original Tommy’s Hamburgers
I took the Princess, the boy friend, and Doug to Tommy’s for chili burgers, fries, and sodas on Saturday. Mostly, it was to take the boy friend out to have lunch with Doug and me. The Princess wanted to come along because she had heard Doug and me talking about Tommy’s. She wanted to see what Tommy’s was all about.
To her credit, she did have a single chili burger with cheese fries. She has never been much of a meat eater so Doug and I were surprised when she managed to finish it off. Her boy friend did finish off his Mega Combo chili cheese burger but hit his wall when he came to the chili fries.
Doug and I had no trouble with our Mega Combos. We go to Tommy’s regularly and we know not to have a large breakfast on a Tommy’s day.
El Gringo
I went to El Gringo for a small dinner on Saturday. It was a small dinner because lunch was at the Original Tommy’s Hamburgers. Mostly, I went to say Merry Christmas to Whitney the server. I had a nice and well prepared dinner of two soft chicken tacos and water to drink.
El Gringo was crowded because I went later than I usually do. I needed some time to let my lunch digest before even a light dinner. It is nice that Whitney remembers me and greets me by name. This makes El Gringo more like a Mexican food version of Cheers from television.
Woman of the Moment
Here we have a holiday gift, some Kandyce Marie photos. I will add some photos later on to round out the posting.
Visitors
We had another good week for visitors. We had visitors from Japan [8], Viet Nam [2], France [2], Argentina, Hong Kong, Poland [4], United Kingdom [2], Italy [2], Philippines, Venezuela, Serbia & Montenegro, Tunisia, Ireland [2], Korea [2], Malaysia, Germany, Taiwan [2], and Spain.
This was the first visit from Tunisia and Serbia & Montenegro.
We had two curious visitors who were here for sixteen minutes and eighteen minutes.
This week, we had more lookers including one who has to be the all time looker [so far]. This visitor hit 49 pages in sixteen minutes.
Incredible.
We also had two lookers who stopped by twelve pages in two minutes and in four and a half minutes. There was a fourth looker who stopped by and viewed eleven pages in three minutes.
I do appreciate all of the viewers who stop by the blog.
Cleaning and Cooking
One of the good things about Christmas coming on a Monday was that I had all weekend to clean and cook. I don’t mind the cooking so much. I just don’t really care all that much for the cleaning.
I did manage to have the flat clean and reasonably presentable by Monday afternoon when the family showed up for Christmas. It is times like these that I sometimes think I should sign up for a cleaning service or maybe even find a women who likes cleaning and would be happy as a stay at home wife and get remarried.
Everyone liked what I cooked for Christmas dinner. Doug had both turkey legs for his dinner. He must have been hungry. The Princess surprised me this year by drinking Pinot Noir wine instead of the Sauvignon Blanc that she has had in the past. Then again, she did have a chili cheeseburger at Tommy’s so maybe she is coming around to the carnivore way of eating now.
Komyo Ga Tsuji
My Japanese historical drama took a surprising plot turn on Saturday.
The samurai lord, Yamauchi, was rewarded for changing sides and supporting the Tokugawa clan at the crucial battle. He received the province of Tosa as his reward. Unfortunately, none of the people who are living in the province want to be ruled by him and he has to pacify the province to please Lord Tokugawa.
Lord Tokugawa placed him in the province because he wants him to act as an expendable buffer. As a buffer, Lord Yamauchi will be expected to prevent any rebellion from starting.
The pacification task was able more difficult because the samurai who administered the province were either dead or expelled from the province and are now ronin. Tosa was home to what we would call guerilla fighters who have no loyalty to the new province governor or his predecessor. They just want to be left alone and allowed to live according to their own ways and customs.
Yamauchi’s wife Chiyo had advocated that he take a gentle approach in the pacification task while his vassals wanted to take an aggressive, scorched earth approach. He was more or less following his wife’s suggestions in the initial stages of the pacification effort.
As the episode closed on Saturday, Chiyo was shot by the guerilla fighters and collapsed in his arms. It is an interesting plot twist since she is the leading actress in the series and the leading cast member. I suppose this action will set up a potential reign of terror and blood bath in the province since most of the vassals were devoted to his wife. The shooting of his wife by the guerillas will grant Yamauchi all of the moral support he needs to justify using extreme measures. Lord Tokugawa does not care how Yamauchi pacifies the province so long as he achieves his goal.
The next Saturday’s episode should be fascinating.
Christmas Day
Christmas Day is usually the longest day of the year for me. I start cooking around 7:00 AM and then I am in and out of the kitchen for the rest of the day. I finished the clean up around 9:00 PM last night. I did take a break for a half hour to watch my Korean soap opera drama that stars the current Weekend Bonus Feature actress Ku Hye sun.
After washing the pots and pans and rinsing off the plates, I can safely say that I went to bed with very clean hands. I also had absolutely no trouble falling asleep.
I did have a very nice and warm personal Christmas with the family over to my house. I received several DVDs including five that were on my list of Missing Academy Award Best Film winners.
With my DVDs, I started off collecting the American Film Institute’s 100 Greatest American Films. I think I now have 93 or 94 of the 100 Greatest American Films. It will be a while before I round out this set because at least two have been released on DVD and the others are out of print.
With the AFI 100 list filling up, I switched over the Academy Awards Best Film list. There are only 75 films currently on the Best Film list and one would expect that the AFI and the Academy Awards Best Film lists to be almost identical. They aren’t. I think I have around 25 more to go with the Best Film list. I know that at least film one has never been released on DVD so this collection will not be complete anytime soon.
I like to organize things. The lists are a reasonable and thoughtful approach to collecting DVDs. I am by no means an expert at picking what DVDs should be in a collection. I think the AFI and Oscar list are a sound basis to start collecting.
ICQ and Me
You all know that I have an ICQ account and have had it since 1996 when my oldest Internet acquaintance urged me to sign up for it.
I will generally chat with anyone who seems modestly interesting to me. I do require that they speak or understand English since I have no foreign language skills. I know I should probably try to learn a foreign language but at this stage of my life I don’t think so.
On Friday and Saturday, it seemed like it was find an American husband weekend. I had four Chinese women contact me in ICQ. Most were all looking for an American or at least a Western husband who could offer them a one way ticket out of China to the good life in the West. One of the women was only interested in marrying an American who would be willing to live in China with her and help her build her private school business in Hong Kong.
I never knew that I was all that handsome or desirable as a potential husband.
I don’t see myself leaving the good old United States of America for anything except short vacations. I love living here and I love our form of government that has survived for 230 years with only one attempted and subsequently unsuccessful overthrow.
Woman of the Moment
This concludes the brief run of Kandyce Marie from Speed Options magazine. I will have a new one tomorrow for you all.
That was my long weekend gentle readers, I hope your weekend was as satisfying as mine was.
Be well and stay happy.
