Jelani
Jelani
Jelani means “mighty” in Swahili and for a Gator, nothing equaled #3 Jenkins against UL Lafayette those last two seconds in the Swamp. Ranking may drop to reflect UF’s game, but the defensive linebacker grabbing a blocked punt floating tantalizingly in the air and returning the ball 36 yards for a Gator touchdown was the play of the day. Jelani Jenkins broke the 20-20 tie, avoiding an OT that was looming grim for Florida. 27-20. Not on TV, watched on my MacBook.
Texas A&M earned their seat in the SEC last night. OMG did they. The Aggies’ first quarter 20-0 sand castle was supposed to turn to mud in the second quarter when the Tide started rolling in. That’s all I’m saying about that, easily the most tense game of 2012. WTH is an Aggie anyway? When I was a boy my aggie was my prettiest marble. Yesterday we found out different, and there wasn't nothin' pretty about it. Holy Smoke was that a stunner. Not a Tide fan in season, I am nevertheless an SEC fan and do not at all like the bowl implications.
Yea Gamecocks, sorry BigBlue, sorry Lions & Tigers. Let us pray.
Veterans Day
Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and
keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home
and abroad, both those who serve and those who have served. Bless them wherever they are. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grantthem a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
