This came on ABC the other night. I left it on simply to have a Christmas movie in the background. Turns out… it’s not half bad. It was so “not bad” that I recorded the 2nd showing and watched it over the weekend.

Enjoy.

The most creative use of Christmas decorations we saw over the weekend.

  • Saw the Rockettes’ Christmas Spectacular (thanks for the Xmas present, mom & dad). If you’ve never seen ‘The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers’, it’s a must-see, below.
  • I don’t want to talk about this.
  • Gnawed through candy canes as we visited the hot spots for Chritmas lights.
  • Put those Old Navy gift cards to use. (No, I didn’t buy that ‘Beer Pong King’ shirt I’ve had my eye on/. Our cashier gave us a $60 discount for no apparent reason.

    That was such an impressive game by Dwight Dasher, it’s hard to truly get mad. That being said, if Fedora doesn’t fire at least 2 of his supporting staff in the off-season, the fan base may lose all faith in him. I have.

    We lost in a bowl game to the Sun Belt.

    Positives:

  • Damion Fletcher is #7 on the NCAA’s all-time rushing list.
  • Damion Fletcher had four 1,000-yard rushing seasons.
  • Southern Miss has a winning record in 16 consecutive seasons.

    The Best Sign For Southern Miss In the New Orleans Bowl
    posted on Dec 20 2009

    Middle Tennessee’s record of 9-3 carries a little less weight when this is considered.

    via Rivals:

    MTSU has averaged 41.1 points during its winning streak. But none of the opponents during that streak finished with a winning record, and the Blue Raiders’ NCAA schedule strength of 118th is the worst of any team in a bowl.

    Southern Miss: Been There, Done That…
    posted on Dec 20 2009

    …but that doesn’t make me feel any better about tonight’s game:

    Southern Miss is in the New Orleans Bowl for the second season in a row and the fourth time in the past six seasons. In addition, the Golden Eagles are making their eighth consecutive bowl appearance and the 12th in the past 13 seasons. Middle Tennessee State is playing in just its second bowl in school history.
