Thanks for all of your prayers for my wife, Beth. She needs them. I don't pray for her anymore; I pray to her. And being married for 57 years means that I am an expert on following instructions.

Was in Naples, FL to help Governor Scott last night. On my way home, I was rear ended for the second time in 12 days, this time it was on I-75. Just got my car out of the repair shop 2 days ago from the last accident. Bruised and sore, but OK.

Smart move for NC State to cancel their game with WV. Last large hurricane to hit NC was in September 1999. My first game at SC vs. NC State - played the game. Mistake. Miserable conditions. Rained so hard that the animals gathered in pairs looking for Noah's Ark. We lost.

Wish the NCAA would go to 8 team playoffs of the 5 power conference champions, the best of the other 5 conference teams, and 2 others, such as Notre Dame or conference runner-up. No conference champions should be denied the opportunity to be National Champions.

ND wasn’t the best team in the country today and might not have been the best team in the stadium, but they won the turnover battle 3-0. ND now is 3-0. Best we could be.

People worry about head injuries in football. I can solve this by taking the face mask off the helmet. Players would no longer use their head as a weapon. Why don't rugby players have head injuries? They don't wear a helmet, so they don't use their head.
