Election Day

Tuesday was Election Day in America.  After what seems like years of negative campaigning and attacks by all political parties, it is finally over, and President Obama was elected for four more years of service.

Now can we please move on as a UNITED nation?

Football Saturday was satisfying.  The Gamecocks won their final conference game of the season, stomping Arkansas.  In other shocking news, top-ranked Alabama was upset by SEC newcomer Texas A&M.  And who said conference expansion was a good idea.  Slim chances of another SEC national championship now.

A big shout out to former coworker and friend, Kelly O.  Met up with her Thursday night for Happy Hour at the P.F. Chang's here in Mt. Pleasant.  The place has been open for over a year now, but that was my first visit.  Fun time, and always great catching up with her!

Tomorrow is yet another trip to Charlotte.  This is probably going to seem like a VERY long trip as there is major reorganization going on at the bank.  And that always mean chaos.  Hopefully it will all be for the greater good, but I'm taking extra Advil for the short-term headaches.

Here Comes The Rooster

The No. 19 Gamecocks beat top-ranked Alabama 35-21, ending the nation's longest win streak at 19. It's South Carolina's first win over a No. 1 team. --- ESPN.com

Wow, what a great day to be a Gamecock!  After years and years of waiting, we finally have a win over a number one ranked team (in football).  It looked like they were trying to give it away a few times, but they held it together.

It's been a pretty good year for South Carolina athletics so far.  The basketball team knocked off #1 ranked Kentucky.  Then the baseball team brought home the national championship from the College World Series.  And now this.  Here's hoping they keep it up.

Our Cocks are up and coming!!!
