    Some of our teams have bye weeks. It would be a good time to ask a question that I have pondered for some time now.

    Does anyone on this forum wake up earlier than Don Ballard?

    I guess old habits are difficult to break. My day generally starts at 5:30 A.M. I have never owned an alarm clock.

    When I was in high school the cows knew when it was time to be milked, and that started the whole process. :wink: (that was over fifty years ago)

    Terry has me beat. My pee alarm is usually centered around 03:30. I guarantee that I can't even read the phone screen at that time so I don't get online.

    Brief change of subject for those who watched the ND-Purdue game on TV. When did you notice the absence of the 1st down yellow line? Were you upset? A little? A lot? How long was it before you no longer noticed it wan't there?

    I was mildly upset, but it soon passed and was not an issue for me for the rest of the game. Talk about old school.

    Unless the pee break counts as getting up I sure don't get up early.

    At least not most days, I am up much earlier today than usually.

    Nice to hear from you Tom.

    Terry and JO'Co, LOL! It was my wife who first brought it to my attention, so I guess I hadn't noticed it either until she mentioned it. I find it interesting that after all these years of having it, it did not affect one iota my interest (and that of others) in the game.
