That's right boys and girls...that's how many more days till we get big time, winning football back here in the 'Ville. TJ told us that it would take a couple of more years. I believe him because he's a man of his word. He promised.

Frankly, I can hardly wait. But since that's rather a long time, I thought I'd provide some fun activities for all of us while we wait.... you know, to kinda take our mind off things. We can hardly just twiddle our thumbs while we're getting our collective butts hammered into the ground for 2 years by every team in the Big East and a few who aren't.  Except for Duke. They just announced that they are almost sure that they might want to actually HAVE a football team this year but they don't want to play anybody. That way they can cut way back on injuries. So that should be nice.

Incidentally, I saw an old lady fall in the parking  at Kroger this morning and as I was helping her up I asked if she was okay. She said, " Yeah but couldn't we trade Kragthorpe for Charlie Weis and a minor league outfielder to be named later?" 

I said, " nobody wants Charlie Weis. His wife even locked him out of the house."

Really, there is plenty to get done over the next 799 days. Have you seen my garage? Plus one of you could get busy and investigate why U of L has eight kids going to the Olympic Trials and yUK has one. But their kid is on the front page of the Clamourous-Jumble .That ought to keep you busy for a while.

Meanwhile, another one of you could get busy and find out why all the football players in the SEC (plus Ohio  State) drive brand new cars. Are you sure all these guys come from wealthy families? Poor kids need to go to school, too, ya know.  

Oh and the 799 days include 24 total regular season games without any of those irritating bowl games with all that travel, sleeping in strange hotels, in strange places like Memphis and Altoona. We can be sure that we won't have to go to that stupid, new Altoona Bowl and play the 10th place team from the Sun Belt Conference in February.  Altoona's really not so bad if you have snow tires.

There are worse things, ya know. You could be locked in a closet and forced to watch freecreditreport.com TV commercials.that would be worse than 799 days of water boarding. Or how'd you like to be the governor's wife and half to listen to that sucker talk for one day, much less 799?  Sets my teeth on edge.

But I'm telling you, boys and girls, that time is just going to fly by. Your kids will probably be out of high school by then and maybe they discover football on Mars. heck, Charlie Weis may be coaching up there by then. rumor has it that the Bengals want to move there but they are insisting on an 100,000 seat domed stadium paid for by the taxpayers or they won't even discuss it..

So get your heads up, Card fans!! Better days are coming! things are looking up.

What's Parcells doing two years from now?
