With LSU football not coming back for another week, here are a few college games and pro games to feed your football hungry brain.

Alabama vs. Oklahoma

The Orange Bowl should be one of the best bowl games to watch this year. Alabama and Oklahoma both possess two high powered offenses, but with a looming injury surrounding Tua, Alabama might not be at its best. If you're deciding on which team to root for... then are you really an LSU fan?

The Music City Bowl is shaping up to be a high tempo battle (pun intended). Expect Jarrett Stidham to (at least try to) be playing lights out because his 2018 season has left scouts and draft experts wondering if he's ready for the pros. I'd root for Purdue in this one because it's the college home of Louisiana's golden boy Drew Bress.

Georgia vs Texas

The sweet sugar bowl. This one's pretty simple, two good defenses and two good quarterbacks won't disappoint. Doesn't really matter who you root for here, LSU didn't play Texas this year and everyone knows what happened when Georgia came to Death Valley.

Saints vs. Panthers

I decided to add two NFL games to the end of the list if you're wanting something new to refresh your brain. As mentioned earlier, there's not a bigger saint in Louisiana than Drew Brees. If you're trying to get in the Louisiana spirit a little early, this would be a good game to have on.

Another Pro game to think about is this classic rivalry at noon. The factor that makes this game so intriguing is the playoff implications surrounding it. In addition, no games are more heated than division rivalries. When deciding to choose who to root for, I'd pick the Redskins. Why? They started Mark Sanchez for a game this year, what's not to love.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
