Friday Thoughts 2.11.22
Happy Friday Everyone,
Rarely do I wish away a weekend and yearn for Sunday night but this Friday I do, and most of us do in these parts. What a long 13 days it has been since our home team surprised the world in Kansas City. It is so nice to live in a world that is Orange & Black and not the divisive pandemic ridden red & blue. Wish it could stay like this forever!

I've worn this pic out over the past month or so but because I'm a bit superstitious I'll wear it out again. This weekend in Zinzinnati we're all goldfish. "You know what the happiest animal in the world is? It's a goldfish. It's got a 10 second memory." Thanks Coach!

My love for this team was born many moons ago in Aisle 110 Row 11 Seat 1-4. Man I wish cell phones were a thing back then. The pics I would have from Riverfront Stadium sitting right behind the Bengals bench would be awesome right now. From the first sip of brandy at the Freezer Bowl, Monday Night Football and the hated Steelers trying to rip Kenny Anderson's head off to Benzoo the Bengals live Bengal tiger mascot. Yeah kids back in the day we had a real tiger. I've been on this bandwagon so long my butt is full of splinters. If your new, welcome and WHO DEY!

Didn't I say in last months blast that this is The Year of The Tiger? 2022 has been so much fun so far. Just one more.

My Mom would have loved this season. Sure hope she can see what's going on. Her favorite Bengal was #37 Tommy Casanova. Bengal history fun facts. #37 went on to become an eye doctor, earning his MD from UC College of medicine. Tommy was a defensive back and 3 time All American at none other than LSU. Wonder why she liked him so much?

Had to do a last minute load of delicates this week in preparation for the game this weekend. 20 minutes, cold water with a double rinse back. Can you tell that this is my favorite logo?
I bought the lid with the AFC logo on Haight Street in Haight Ashbury, and this particular lid is undefeated in California. Just saying. It's not part of my lucky outfit so it will be on the sidelines this Sunday.

Speaking of good luck charms. Here are mine. Every winning streak starts at 1, and here they are at the Raiders game. Geez, that seems like ions ago.

Here was just another ho hum night at Paul Brown Stadium with my kid. July 6, 2017 aka The Jungle. Parental discretion advised.

It's funny how may people think I'm going to the Super Bowl becasue of my aviation nerd pics of the Bengals Charter leaving Cincy for every road playoff game. Sorry not sorry, but I'm here.

Andrew Whitworth is one of the most deserving winners of the NFL Man of The Year Award I've ever seen. Congratulations #77 from LSU and I'm sorry to say I hope that's the only trophy you hold this weekend.
*****
Here's the 15th President of The United States in Covington Kentucky this week. Looks like Honest Abe is pulling for the North again. So predictable.
*****
Just one more and I'll say goodbye, trust me, I have 50 more.

Have a wonderful Orange & Black weekend everyone. Everyone but the Rams that is. Let's enjoy this ride and the respite that a winning team gives us. I'm praying the kid from Athens Ohio gets it done. It's a movie that will be better than Rudy. Kid from Athens throws 6 touchdown passes in high school championship game, loses. Goes to Ohio State doesn't see the field. Transfers to LSU, wins Heisman Trophy and National Championship. Gets drafted #1. Knee gets destroyed in first season. Comes back in 2nd season, and is in the Super Bowl.
