Today I move my Surly Cynic clone from the primary to secondary fermenter. I didn't miss the yeast like I did with the Oktoberfest, but I'm still on pins and needles waiting to find out I made some small mistake.

  9. Gophers down 23 at the half, now down 13 four minutes into the second half and they have the ball.

  10. too bad they cant play the last 10 minutes of the first half over again. that offensive blitz by Indiana is the difference.

  11. wow, the Gophers clawed their way back to be down 8. too bad there is only a minute left.

    1. Super psysched for game, then Gophers down 23 at half so I decide to go grocery shopping thinking either I miss a miserable 2nd half or I come home and get to see a thriller at the end. Glad the later worked out. Gophers proved they are just as on par with IU. A little poise in the first half and they could of stole this one. I'm excited for the the rest of the season.

        1. Assuming a Mee-chicken defeat of tOSU tomorrow, MN could be hosting the #1 team next Thursday night.

  14. Managed to find canned green chile sauce. Making chicken enchiladas the Zombie-man approved fashion today.

    1. what a coinkadink! I made green chile chicken on thursday. We are having enchiladas tomorrow with leftovers.

      1. Make that three of us - slow cooked my chicken in green chile enchilada sauce yesterday (all day!) and am doing shredded chicken tacos right now!

        1. Then why do you want us to let you know about 'em? Is it the schadenfreude? It's gotta be the schadenfreude.

    1. This is absolutely embarrassing. Capers didn't adjust at all to what the 9ers were doing. "We just need more pressure!" Yeah, okay, clearly that worked so well in the first half. Why in the hell wasn't Woodson spying? I'd rather him line up at LB than most of the scrubs they had out there.

      The offense was terrible in the second half. McCarthy tried to get cute and basically completely abandoned the run. The already gassed defense was immediately on the field after all those three and outs.

      Just a terrible, terrible game.

      And now I log on to my work laptop and do systems testing for the next three hours. Great night.

      1. Yeah, the defense was ridiculously bad. No adjustment what so ever. I told the missus that Kopperdick doesn't even need to throw it any more, just drop back to pass and take off running, a sure 15-20 yard gain.

      2. Clay Matthews was absolutely MIA during this game. If I'm a NFL Defensive Coordinator I'm watching the film to see what the San Fran did to make him invisible.

        1. Well, one thing is that San Francisco has a pretty great offensive line. The other thing is that pretty much all the other linebackers Green Bay had available range somewhere between "mediocre" and "awful." They didn't have anyone else to rush the passer, so Matthews would rush, the middle of the field opened up because for some reason Capers didn't seem to think it was important to have a spy out there, and then Matthews was 5 yards behind the play. Ugly, hideous gameplan.

          Matthews would've probably been best served to spy in that game. He's great in run coverage. Clearly they weren't getting to the passer. But at the same time, the corners are pretty shaky, so they couldn't try to give Kaepernick too much time to beat them.

          It sucks, but it just wasn't meant to be. My only issue is that the two teams who advanced today I dislike to varying degrees. I really loathe the 49ers. The teams playing tomorrow aren't a whole lot better. I don't have a dog in the fight, but I really don't want any of these teams to win a Super Bowl. I guess as long as it isn't the 49ers.
