oooh it's a beautiful day for a ballgame up here kids!!!
clear crisp sky
temps should make it to the mid-70s
trees just starting to change

Keys to today's game, oddly enough both ours and theirs:
(in my obvious and humble opinion)
1) TURNOVERS. hold on to the freakin' ball
2) O-LINE. protect your QB, sustain the gaps for the RB
3) QB Play. be smart, STEP UP, mechanics, mechanics, mechanics.

Secret weapon???
Chocolate Milk.


Michigan: 42
Toledo: 10

GO BLUE
BEAT THE ROCKETS

Halftime. We are "up" 10-7.

Watching this team at this point is a test in patience. We are bad on the o-line, soft on defense, and downright putrid at qb.

Watching this game on the BTN makes it even worse. Most of the time they don't even know what is going on.

I am considering turning down the sound and putting on Bob Marley... "...everything is going to be alright..."

I promised myself I would only care about one game at a time, but T9 texted me during the 1st half with this gem:

"PSU is going to make us cry like little schoolgirls"

Seriously T9 after watching this team all year how can you predict them to score 42 points? I came into this week totally expecting to lose and it seems that they are trying to live up to those expectations. I have a feeling that there may be a few players that aren't on the team next year due to RR's lack of liking them. He seems to be mad at everything and especially Grady there on a few plays.


Back to beer n well beer I guess. here's to hoping it gets better but realizing it won't.

The number of touches the non-freshman get is amazing.

It is almost as if RR holds a grudge against the players he did not recruit.

Someone needs to cover #1

Toledo takes the lead 13-10 in the 4th.

I am getting that sickening Appy State stomach ache again.

Assuming you both are right in your observation could it be a "character counts" issue surfacing. Throw in the exit from WV and assorted rumors, yada, yada.

I'm not trying to poke the bear. I'm asking because I want to know your opinion. This stuff matters in mentoring people in sports, politics, war, etc.

Whet: I am too pissed to even start talking about this right now

whetstonebuck said...

Roger, Ramjet. I'll put it on the back-burner.

Andy said...

I promise you we will explore this.

One chance left.

I predict pain.

Andy said...

Nice catch SAM

Andy said...

I think someone needs to do a health & welfare check on Andy.
