Nice vacation for the most part, spending the first five days on the beach at Garden City, South Carolina, and then driving to Atlanta for the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic. Lots of beach time after the remnants of Hurricane Erika subsided.
The biggest downer during the week was those first 30 minutes against Auburn. The nightmare scenario. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong during that first half. Echoes from yesteryear, of opposing teams ramming the ball down our throats, of fumbles, interceptions, bobbles and uncertainties, wondering just how badly UofL would be demolished.
That was second only to the Atlanta traffic, especially going north on I-75 to the game, looking for the right exit, with nine or 10 lanes of traffic in each direction, everybody seemingly driving 85-to-90 miles per hour, even in the “slow” lanes.
