OH MY GOD - The Season is upon us. To preface I'd like to extend well wishes to my Father whom will be in attendance for the season opener this Thursday night in Columbia, SC (the good Columbia). Apparently the gals in Cocksville deck out in prom dresses and stripper heels for gamedays; I prefer my babydolls to look like Ms. 12 ...

Did You Know: Mizzou has 13 Freshmen listed on their official - will-need-contribute - depth chart. Sounds like a team poised for a title run!?!? Go F yourself Bruce Feldman, Jason Whitlock, and every other frontrunnin' dick rider that cant even remember the last time the Tigers won a conference title. With this as the caveat, my upset special for the weekend is the Illinois front 7 over the moribund Tiger offensive line. Will this translate into an Illini victory, absolutely. Will Chase Daniel be relegated to eating his buggers in the medical ward, hopefully.

Tip of the Hat to: Western Michigan. Thanks for helping Big Red nation usher in the Bo Big Red era. Utah. Thanks for helping usher in the end of the Rich Rod era in Ann Arbor. Dan Hawkins. Steve Perry them hos! ... meaning dont stop believing if you're a supporter of Colorado football; Hawk will have this team playing stellar football sometime in 2008 - and the remainder fo the B12 will remember why Boulder was a feared destination for Big 8 foes in the early/mid 90's. Unlike Mizzou, and Kansas for that matter, this Buffs team doesnt have the big names toting the rock, flipping the rock, or catching the rock. But also unlike Mizzou, and Kansas for that matter, this Buffs team is stacked in trenches. They will eat up the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball ... Missouri and Kansas take notice: this game is still won and lost in them trenches. Goodluck with your Frosh (2 star) offensive and defensice tackles Tigerbeat and Chickenhawkers.

Morale Conundrum: Just recently met this dude whose girlfriend is classmate of mine. Really good kid, about the same age and life stage as me, similar perspectives on life, ladies, ambition, etc. Old boy heard about my recent split with my holdover college girlfriend and expressed reservations about his own relationship. Dude is moving (or has moved since) to Berkley to start law school, yet his lady is staying in Chi City to finish her schooling ... you can see where this is headed ... Im thinking about parlaying my friendship with old boy, and the inside info he released to me in confidence, to take down his girlfriend while he's away. This girl is a dime piece baby-doll; all things being equal I should pursue this plan of attack. However my conscience, that part of me that I held funeral services for after the 7th time I cheated on a girlfriend, has arisen from the dead and is telling me this isnt the right play. Oh well, I guess if NU has a strong non-conference season I'll take her down; and if NU has a poor non-conference season I'll let it be. Come on Bo! Go get me some ass!
