Coffee, bourbon, beer and I’m grilling some skirt steak along with onions and peppers somewhere around Heinz Field. It’s our own trial run for the coming season of football and tailgating.
Well, more like a taste of what will be. Family in tow so the kids can have some fun and get positive reinforcement about Pitt football. Maybe dim those memories of daddy downstairs yelling at the TV, typing into the laptop and drinking. Yeah. When I put it that way it will be amazing if either of my kids will come to a game with me this year.
If you are watching at home on the NFL Network at 2pm tell us what you see. I have it on DVR to watch for a different perspective later. If you went, add your thoughts later.
Sorry for the quiet. Between the last minute scramble of finishing taxes, assorted other things in the offline world, and the logistic scramble of bringing the wife and kids to Pittsburgh for the Blue-Gold game — the time in front of a computer has been limited.
In case you were unaware, the scrimmage will be on the NFL Network at 2 PM. If you scan the sidelines closely, you may see a short, goateed geek with glasses. If so, it’s a good bet that it will be me. Especially if he seems a little twitchy and fearful that at any moment he will be run over by a play that goes out of bounds.
There will be an open thread tomorrow to share observations, and I’ll be tweeting most of the day.
