Bald eagle is back! You have to put this poor thing in a BC jersey that week!
I'll side with your wife on this one. I do have a funny little story though. I once met a guy who was a die hard Redskins fan and he HATED the cowboys. He had the toilet bowl in his master bedroom painted silver and blue with a big ol' star right in the middle so he could "Take a shit on the 'Boys" every morning. I thought that was amusing.
To quote my wife, "That's a great joke but I don't want any Hoo $**t in front of my home."
The problem with his argument is that we played Alabama when Gibson was the starter at RT. It's an outlier. The Alabama game was also aguably the best game our offensive line played all season.
Bottom line is that Gibson needs to get it through his head that practice matters and he has to give 100% effort at all times. From what I'm hearing his lack of PT is directly related to his level of effort in practice.
called the Moonshine Bowl
and this is the trophy for the winner
us vs. Tennessee should just be 'Battle for the Mason Jar'
saw this and laughed
Kentucky vs. Duke - The Big Dance Bowl just to sell more tickets
AJ Hughes, bringing puntingsexy back!
You all know what I think of this.
Truly funny! Now can we see him sitting in the car from Back To The Future in the drive through line at the window getting his donuts with Dabo in the car behind him?
please say Manchester was the team scoring 17 goals..
Yes, 14 and the reference to LOLUVA losing made my day.
Only if you get the Veggie Burrito... or if the cashier fails to realize they were added :P
Ok. I know I was the one that said there was a little too much bashing of other teams during the bye week, but this is gold! Well done. I almost pissed myself laughing.
Semi Mexican Fast food power rankings.
1. Qdoba
That is all.
In St. Louis, there is a Qdoba in one of the more ghetto regions of the city and it is referred to by many as the "dirty doba." It is without a doubt better than any other Semi fast food mexican restaurant I'v ever been to. So greasy, and so delicious.
The best of it is I feel like this could be the year to really start deflating that SEC balloon. The SEC East is for all intents becoming a bit of a dumpster fire. You could conceivably have USCe, UGA, and the Gators all with 4 losses. If USC loses to Mizzou, then either they or FL will definitely have at least 4, and there is no way I see the Gators beating FSU right now. And even with last Saturday night, I think Clemson is better than the Gamecocks
Looking at the West, Bama/LSU, Bama/Auburn, LSU/aTm still needs to happen, so assuming Bama wins out you end up with another 2-3 3 loss teams on that side.
Of course the SECers will be quick to chatter is Bama wins another national title, but I think this year is a lot more interesting if we get to see Oregon or (gag) FSU in that game. Certainly better than them bullying a hapless ND or Ohio St. squad
acc does it better than the sec at beating ourselves up!
It's going to take a long time to be able to recruit nationally like Bama, ND, Michigan, and, um... that's about it. There aren't many schools that have the resources to recruit everywhere and the ability to visit anyone in the country and get their attention.
Sure, though a) UVA has talent on the roster and b) the ACC isn't exactly murderer's row. My point was that Rutgers was a bigger joke than UVA is now then when Schiano took over and he was able to make steady progress and break through. Prior to 2005 Rutgers hadn't been to a bowl since 1978. It shouldn't take a coach a decade to get somewhere with a program.
A few additional statistics: ESPN calculates average yards per return. They show 162 yards on 29 returns for a 5.6 yards allowed per return. In my opinion it is also interesting to calculate return yards allowed per punt. I count 208 allowed yards (not sure what the discrepancy is???) on 43 punts, yielding 4.8 return yards allowed per punt. Removing the 72 yard TD return by BAMA, and it is just 3.2. This indicates that overall special teams is doing great, because they are not allowing many returns for positive yardage. But when they do, they allow some pretty big returns. They've allowed (by my count) 219 yards on 14 positive returns, which yields a whopping 15.6 yards per positive return. Removing BAMA TD, still 11.3 yards. That's a first down!!
Luckily it hasn't hurt us aside from the BAMA game. The one exception in my mind, since we almost lost the game, was Hughes first punt against Marshall (40 yards, 19 yard return, put them at midfield), which gave them great field position and led to their first TD.
beat me to it...by almost 7 hours...
