I bounce in the club cuz the hos call me rock head!
Posted in the cut and Im lookn fo' a block head!
Thanks to Dem' Franchise Boys for the club popping anthem that spun through my head after watching Bo's boys Lean wit' it and play some defense. Surrendering 24 points to a formerly 5-7 MAC squad may seem only marginal on its face, but a perusal of the box score indicates that the Baby Blackshirts held a relatively potent offense to only eight rush yards. Allie Chase (my baby bro that fashions himself as a young Vinny Chase), failed to laud the most impressive Husker of the evening... That man Ty Steinkuhler recorded eight tackles, second on the team, from his 3-technique DT spot. Now thats how you eat up them trenches.
On the Bucknuts: Boekman wishes he had Joey Ganz stones! Joey Ganz wishes he had T. Pryor's cricket legs, play making ability and bounce on the field. The Herd's lobby for this Frosh was based in logic (although TP is not yet VY 2.0; let him do something on the field before annointing him the upgrade to a player good enough to make Mack Brown look like a big game coach) ... but Im with ScarletandGray regarding Pryor supplanting Boekman this early in the year. No true freshman, save maybe Mike Vick, could step on the field in LA and face down Rey Mauluga and his Trojan NFL defense. Sticking with Boekman is the right play; his game management should allow the Bucks D, and an inspired Chris Wells to steal the night from Rey and Dirty Sanchez.
Games of the week that catch the eye ...
For the Boomer Babydoll my game of the week features two of the top 10 coaches in the game: Cincy @ #4OU. Bob Stoops reps Youngstown O about as well as any (Bo P's coming for that number 1 spot Bobby), and Brian Kelly is one hell of a coach, and recruiter on his way to a big time payday. Before you snicker at the Kelly comments consider this - Cincy, a traditional basketball power is on the verge of running a BCS conference in football. If teams were sold as stock, I'd dump my cash into preferred Bearcat football securities. As for the game, Oklahoma is the best all around team in college football, and will likely win this game going away in the second half. But the line score will belie that this will be a hard fought, black-and-blue struggle against a coach that will have his team ready to test the Sooners saltyness.
Other games on the docket that should pique the interest of those with a keen eye for movers and shakers in the division formerly known as 1-A: Ole' Miss at #20Wake ~ more future NFL'ers than one would expect will take the field when the Rebels cotton swob the Mint Julepers on tobacco road. M.I.A. @ Florida ~ will Miami finally return from being AWOL? Not likely, but Freshman Arthur Brown is already one of the best LB's in the South, and he'll remind Tim Tebow why the Canes used to show up to National title games dressed in fatigues. And finally, a game that I never thought Id even notice on the ticker, Stanford @ #15 ASU. ASU has some playmakers, and the old man of college football, Rudy Carpenter (wasnt he Jeremy's pledge Dad at IU in 2001?), but Stanford is riding the high of a big conference win, and might have advantages along the O and D lines. Look out ASU, the school that produced Google is coming for you (somewhere Microsoft quakes!).
Morale Conundrum Update
With an inspiring win the Bo Bombers took a tangible step towards a healthy non-conference record. Considering this I too have begun to posture myself to have options regarding the left-behind girlfriend of my well-regarded new friend that fled to the left coast. Girlie and I chatted it up for a good 15 after class last night ... not only did she know who I was, but she was familiar with my one-time cameo role in Indiana BOnes and the Temple of Poon (I was an extra in the scene where the Temple Shaman tried to pull [censored]). Stay tuned, because I think I heard her singing Jay-Z in my honor while she walked away ... "who you know fresher than J (uda), riddle me that!"
