Dear BFA’s,

I never thought it would take until Iowa State to become bowl eligible, but here we are.  I thought this might be the week we put it all together and play a complete game, but this week we decided our error of the day would be costly penalties and giving up big huge third downs.  Ok, the last part is pretty common.  Kind of crazy that Oklahoma couldn’t touch Tavon, yet Iowa State fared much better isn’t it?  I predict that this week’s unforeseen downfall will come courtesy of a distraction.  That’s right, you heard it here first, holgo’s passe of strippers on the sideline will lead to huge drops on deep routes.

Alas, we get the worst team in the league this week, and that is by a landslide.  Seriously though, if we stay focused we should crush these  fools .  In 8 conference games (8 losses), they have lost by just over 21 points on average.  The interesting thing is that in 4 of those, they have lost by an average of 7.75 points, which is skewed up by one 14 point loss, and the other 4 they have lost by 35.  What does that mean?  Overlook them and they will hang around.  Come out prepared, and have a little bit of fun at their expense.  Might as well get it in this week, because it is gonna be ugly when we head out to Phog Allen in the winter.

Ron and Jane Harris love Old Louisville. The open and graceful layout of Third Street in Old Louisville is a refreshing departure from most other developed spaces within the city: wide sidewalks give way to beautifully landscaped yards and three-story mansions stand guard silently over the neighborhood as they have for the last century.

It’s a quiet Sunday afternoon. The 107 year-old Victorian Châteauesque Eclectic castle belonging to Ron and Jane Harris beckons to me with a warm glow, and I am filled with anticipation to see what lies behind its wrought iron doorway.

I am welcomed inside by Ron, greeted by the couple’s sweetheart of a dog, and taken into a sitting room trimmed in old growth Honduras Mahogany- a protected species now commercially exhausted. Immediately, I’m taken with the detail and loveliness of the Harris home- the stained glass, its Victorian styling, and the careful display of artwork and collections amassed over the couple’s lifetime together....
