Flakes: Getting Over a Loss, Alex Gordon, & Stupid Criminals

Alex Gordon hit a home run at the right time. Jill’s football weekend wasn’t a total bust. Pro tip: don’t post videos on Instagram if you are on the FBI’s most-wanted list.

My football weekend was a bit of a rollercoaster that started off really badly but ended well. The five-game stretch started Friday night with Son 1’s high school team getting shutout by the rival a few miles down the road. Son’s team thought they would win fairly easily and they played like it.

Then there was the Husker game. I got to see a tiny bit of the first quarter as we drove up to Brookings, South Dakota for senior day. That little bit was more than enough.

Saturday evening, things started to look up as the South Dakota State Jackrabbits boatraced Drake 51-10. It also helped that I got to watch a kicker by the name of Vinatieri booting field goals for the home team….again. You see, there was a kicker by the name of Vinatieri doing the same back when I was a student at SDSU. That guy’s name was Adam. The current iteration of Vinatieri is Chase, his nephew. The final points in the game were a 51 yard (career record) field goal by Vinatieri the Younger to bring the Jackrabbits’ final tally to 51 in the 51st Beef Bowl.
