Today started off like any other. We met for breakfast and Hankins ordered an omelet. The waitress asked him what ingredients did he want. He said surprise me. Just give me everything. I just wish I had a picture of his omelet. After breakfast we headed for Kansas. Hankins called Mitch and told him we were on the way. A beautiful drive through the Ozark foothills.
Hankins broke up the trip with insightful commentary on the upcoming game. What Auburn had to do to win the game, what KSU had to do to win the game. What were the ramifications if Auburn won or if KSU won? After we discussed this back and forth, we heard the news of the day...the latest Jameis Winston attempt to embarrass the FSU football team, Florida State University, the ACC, the NCAA, and college sports in general. That took up the rest of the trip. We could hardly wait until the Finebaum Show came on.
Steve Lane, with much thought, forecast the score of the game...Auburn 45 and KSU 21. This just came in as I was typing the blog.
We left Arkansas, crossed Oklahoma, and entered Kansas. We arrived at Linda and Mitch's in good order. Fantastic h'ordeurves, drinks, steaks, salads, baked potatoes, and a dessert to die for. Mitch poured the wine and used a wine aerator. Mitch said the aerator was used to enhance cheap wine. It worked. A festive occasion...tomorrow we head for Manhattan.
