Getting it Done!!!

I had been on the fence about getting a hotel room in Masaka yesterday so I could listen to or watch the Clemson game on my computer. (not sure what TV pirating is like in the post channelsurfing.net world) That plan imploded when a rain storm started in the mid afternoon and left me stuck in my village. I can get a decent 2nd generation mobile internet connection outside, but the storm was pretty intense, removing the option of me setting up out there. So I rigged up my computer in between the bars on my window and prayed that my battery would hold up. It did and for the most part I had a seamless broadcast via 104.9 the Drive!

Clemson 38 - Auburn 24, over 600 yards of offense!!!

Next week I'm in Jinja meeting Jenny's parents and am really curious whether the satelite at NRE will pick up the 3:30 broadcast of FSU @ Clemson. Regardless I expect I'll have a strong enough signal to radio stream.

Other notes of getting it done:

I predicted Clemson would either lose by 3 or win by 14. I just didn't see this game being close if Clemson showed up to play. Well I bullseyed it, 38-24 'Tigers with a lake'!!!

And the thing I am most excited about on the getting it done front!!! The ACC raided the Big East again!!! I've said for several years now that the Big 12 is a time bomb and cannot stand, and that there is only room for either the Big East or ACC; one would have to kill the other. We just took two of their best schools, and I don't think we are done yet. The northeast market is ours for the taking. I didn't think the ACC had the drive or ambition to start a war. Good for them. Go get Rutgers and UConn... even though I'd prefer Annapolis and one of their rivals. ;)
