    The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

    Sitting on the Quad at Xavier University in Cincinnati, where I got a new job this semester teaching Latin and Roman History. I think The Ozzman went here. Checking into the forum like I do every few months to see how much of the old guard are still around.

    This game is giving me a heart attack. Interception at the goal line hurts so much. That and Edelman getting injured.
