Hey Hey, Goodbye
Of course the big football news around these parts is the Bucs win, no wait, it was USF’s woodshedding at the hands of Louisville. Yeah, yeah. Zook’s a goner. Great news for all of us Gator fans. You can see my take
here and
here.
Bearing Down
Pyhrric victory. Sure we won the game and all but Alstott out for four weeks with a knee problem. Pittman was limping toward the end, and we’re damn near out of running backs. But the return of Joe-Joe was a great sight. Especially his familiar first-down pose. Said it before, I’ll say it again, the Gruden offense works so much better without a statue behind the center. At least Brad Johnson is going to have a job next season somewhere, unlike our friend Zooker.
This is shaping up to be so much like last year. We’re beating the teams we should, and coming close against the rest. At least the Panthers have also taken a nose dive this season. This game in two weeks against KC should be a good test.
Mississippi Burning
Can’t we win one in that state? Against a team from there? The only good coming from that debacle was that it forced the removal of the boil from Gator fans’ collective asses. Even though we lost on Saturday, we won on Monday. I really don’t have much more to say about that game than that.
Red Sox
If the USF Bulls had dressed up as the Boston Red Sox maybe they could have won. Those other Cardinals are getting the snot beat out of them. How Leavitt can see any
positive in a 41-9 blowout is beyond me. Every week it becomes more appear ant that they need better players to even try and compete in the Big East. Their only hope is a long coaching search at UF that frees up some recruits. Though that’s not even a given.
Ridin’ The Storm Out
Lawrence Samuels has signed on for his 11th Storm season. He’s been about the only constant on this team in a while. Plus the Storm brought back Pat O’Hara. Maybe we can manage a little better than a first round playoff loss this year.
Plummer’s Crack
So Jake the Snake bit me again. When I needed him to come through and give me a fantasy win he musters up two interceptions. Sinking my chances and returning me to the bottom half of the league. My hat’s off to you Mr. Plummer.
Running Items
WTF?
Cincinnati Bengals. Monday Night Football? Win?
Breath Of A Salesman
Burger King’s Fighting Chickens. It would appear that the ad agency for Burger King is staffed with stoners. First we have the guy waking up with that scary looking king. And now a Foghorn Leghorn sized cock-fight pitting Crispy versus Spicy.
Step Right Up
Due to the overwhelming response (thanks) to last week’s
contest, this item will be discontinued. That is all.
Next week: The Thrill of the Bye! Dawg Ownership? and much, much more.
