So ND football took a “L” for a close game to team they shouldn’t be in the game but that’s what you get getting a QB that didn’t practice this spring at all after ankle surgery & rehab also with it.  I hope ND learns that not all transfers work at all.  I hear that clemson hasn’t took one in a while.  Just saying.  Oh boy those people that they new college football didn’t no squat about our opponents always guns for us for they’re champions game.  Sorry about that I didn’t watch much of game to begin with since I haven’t watch a full sports event in a long time because can’t change the outcome when I watch the game.   College football rankings after this past weekend action: USA Today poll as of Sept. 8th, 2024: Georgia Ohio state Texas Alabama Ole Miss Oregon Penn state Missouri Tennessee Utah University of spoiled children Miami (FL.)

 I am in two to three fantasy leagues while watch this 2024 - 2025 Premier League.   I am still routing for my team called Manchester United F.C. since there defense has being very loose since Sir Alex retired as manager this days.   I know that ManCity won UEFA champions league two years ago.  In this league it’s hard to win four trophies before years end.  Lots of leagues try to get three trophies instead of four for those ones.  

             My health is getting better as time goes by on dealing with my issues also.  We had some friends of our again when they lived here for year and half from United Kingdom from long ago.  We tried show them new and old stuff while they visited other friends when they were town like a going to a Nationals baseball game & our pool we belong to in the neighborhood (it relaxes us allot).   I do my own water therapy for my left shoulder to help it out.  I took them to the pool two to three times while they’re in town.  They stayed at Airbnb mostly while they were town for their visit.  They visited Air & Space Museum #2 called Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia and etc.  right now their at Busch Gardens before heading to relax at the beach ( Rehoboth beach, Delaware) before heading back England.  By the way I was getting to know them again and some new faces to understand me also...
