Home after yesterday's disappointing trip to LA for Linfield's opener against Cal Lutheran. It was the (frustrating) story of two halves that ended in a rare non-league loss. Looks like the Cats have some lessons to learn and one was taught to them yesterday in Thousand Oaks. We usually make great adjustments in the second half, but this time, it was the Knights who made the adjustments, leaving Linfield wondering what happened.
What happened was that Linfield just got whipped. Too many mistakes on offense and a way-too-porous defense to win this game. The offense will be fine. The defense needs work. The good news was that Willamette is probably not as good as we may have thought and therefore completely beatable. The whole season comes down to the Oct. 2 matchup with the Bearcats at Maxwell Field. Lick our wounds, regroup after a bye week and get ready for Willamette.
On a happier note, the Ducks looked amazing albeit against a second division SEC team. I was able to watch most of the game (the best part, at least) form a bar at LAX. When we arrived, the Alabama-Penn State game was on every one of the 10 TV screens, so I asked that some of them be switched to Oregon-Tennessee. That didn't please the jerk sitting in front of me. He practically wanted to fight because they hadn't asked his permission. The customers were clearly into the Oregon game and could care less about Alabama.
So today, it's BBQ and NFL, my two favorite three-letter acronyms. Now, hopefully NFL Redzone is also working. Had some issues with Frontier over that, but they've assured me that we've got it. The station comes up and now there is music, so I'm hopeful. Gotta run to check on the charcoal.
