thought i'd get some heat for the JT stuff, but i'll live with Pat White support. what do you guys think is going to happen with your QB situation? IMO i wouldn't even call it a "situation", but it seems the media is making it one anyway... What is the consensus faith in Zorn at this point?
You're new around these parts, but we're not as "united" about the other football around here. I wouldn't have known what you were talking about if you hadn't thrown in the name Zorn. I wasn't sure if the question was going to be high school, college or pro. Jason Campbell is #1. Todd Collins is #2. The controversy has been around the #3 slot. Brennan was supposed to challenge Collins for the #2 and that didn't happen. Colt hasn't lived up to expectations and Chase Daniel is a bit of Colt Brennan 2008. I'm not sure the Skins deal anyone. I think all four stick around with one on the practice squad.
One thing I've noticed since the ticket stories broke out in the Post is that save for 106.7 the Fan, not ONE local media outlet has picked up on the story. All 3 local tv stations and all the other sport radio stations have decided to ignore it. The fear of angering that little weasel supercedes their journalitic integrity. It just goes to show how big the Skins are in this town and how much power that little fck holds.
Who produces the pre-season games? Those aren't CSN games (although their having the HD exclusivity s annoying). They're Redskin games. The Post and The Fan are the only outlets willing to take on the Skins at all. The irony is their coverage is still Skins focused and Snyder could be sitting around thinking there is no such thing as bad publicity. It's one thing for the Redskins to dominate the media around here (which I hate), but it drives me crazy that we rarely get unbiased takes on the team.
Some great games yesterday ( sorry Traci ). Ohio State barely squeaking one out, BYU pulling the upset. But now it's Michigan v Notre Dame week. Unless me and Scruggs can figure out the tv at the tailgate deal, neither one of us might make next Saturday's United game.
Ohio State got lucky, plain and simple. Bradford/OU down! WVU looked horrible against a Big South team, but still won by a couple possessions... Its going to be a tough season.
I didn't succeed in killing myself last night but I just learned that I apparently called everyone at the bar a mothafu$*er & told them to "go the fu!k away" if they weren't wearing crimson & cream. I've decided not to end it all yet, but rather to plummet in a downward spiral towards total self-destruction via heavy drinking (AKA, 2 games & a concert in the next 6 days). Off to slit my wrists now...
I was watching the highlights form this weekend and I must say, Denard Robison is going to be an exciting player to watch out of Michigan. Anyone who can run a sub 4.4 40, is already has an amazing talent, but for a quarterback who doesn't even tie his shoes... unreal.
USC vs San Jose State -- 56-3 Sure, I was a little disappointed when USC only beat San Jose State by 53 points. I mean, letting the Spartans SCORE? Really guys? But then I remembered it's early in the season, so I am ok with it.
Scruggsy's surgery pain doesn't compare to my pain at flying across the country to watch my team lose to BYU. Painkillers will thin the blood & help it to run out of my wrists more quickly.
Wow -that's a harsh thing to say to a girl who's been talking about slitting her wrists on this thread for the last 5 days. But it's okay - I've come to terms with the fact that we're not winning the nat'l championship this year. However, I wouldn't put my $$ on Nebraska to win the Big XII north, nor would I count OSU out of the hunt in the south. I actually like Michigan just fine; I was only pointing out other ways in which Chico has previously felt my pain. It was more like an attempt at bonding rather than a dig at his team.
So, Traci, are we friends now? I was actually going from some bonding too--we're both from the Big XII, after all. And what kind of Husker would I be if I didn't take a dig at a Sooners fan?
Of course we're friends now. Now that I know that you're an actual Husker I have respect for your opinion. I had falsely assumed that you were just some outsider talking about NU, but alas, you are Big XII.
Not much better for me in the pros as a Skins fan, but I generally just like the NFL better anyway. No 70-3 blowouts...well, unless someone pisses off the Patriots before a game or something
