Hope I don’t hit some obscure snags down the road!

We left out of Miami and went to Key West and Cozumel. We had a great time and in hindsight I wish I had taken more pictures, (but really the last thing I was thinking about was taking pictures).

A woman in Utah was in her car when her battery went dead, at which point she found herself trapped. Locked inside her own car! She then called 911 to have someone come and help her when:

When police arrived, they found the woman sitting in the car, unable to get herself out. She couldn’t hear the officers instructions through the rolled-up windows so she motioned to them to call her on her cell phone, according to police.

Once officers were able to talk to the woman on the phone, they were able to tell her how to manually operate the slide lock mechanism on the inside door panel to open the door and free herself.

Seriously?? Are people really so lost that they don’t even know how to unlock a car door anymore?

This is still a complete longshot for them to do a playoff like this, but I can still dream.

So I understand there will be an alarm, but what will it sound like??

You can call it gimicky coaching moves or say that this won’t last, but the truth of it is these guys are winning and they’re psyched about it. They’re still young guys and it was time to light a fire under them and nobody could have done this better than Coach Richt. He should be coach of the year after the way he’s turned around this program from those two losses. Especially after getting destroyed by Tennessee and then barely squeaking by Vandy.

He’s turned a lackluster ‘At least we have next year’ season into a great one.

And the way Knowshon Moreno is playing, there could be Heisman coming his way as soon as next year. The kid is simply amazing and the best running back to come our way since Herschel. With him and Thomas Brown both healthy I’m very excited about the rest of the season. I can’t take anything away from Stafford either, he’s really showing the type of QB that he came here to be and not letting early mistakes dictate the rest of the game.

As far as the rest of the year goes, I’d really like a chance at playing LSU in the SEC championship, but also have to be realistic that the best we can do is the Sugar Bowl. If UT were to win out and play LSU in the SEC, they’d likely lose and by our higher ranking we’d probably go to the Sugar. So while it would be sweet to have a shot at LSU, I really question whether or not we could beat them.

But winning the SEC over the #1 ranked team sure would be sweet.
