Burnin Down The House

Scott Stadium may burn down if we lose this week to EMU. They are one of the worst teams in all of college football. To quote my guy @1421dana, "If you don't beat them by 3 TDs quit your job. I say this in all seriousness, they may be the worst college team I've ever seen." I second that notion. This is a great opportunity for UVA to get back on the winning track. The past three weeks have been less than awesome and a good old EMU beat down is just what the doctor ordered. We need to try and instill some confidence back in the program so we can try and get Ws to close out the season. We still need to win 5 of 6 to become bowl eligible which becomes tougher and tougher as we only have two more home games after this weekend. Including trips to Boston College and Virginia Tech back to back in November to close the season out. Now is the time to man up and get Ws. I'm tired of seeing missed arm tackles. I'm tired of seeing missed tackles in general. I'm really tired of turnovers in the red zone as well. So all I'm going to say is put that garbage losing football attitude in the dust and start playing like the team I know we can play like.

Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to see a Buckeye game in full this year. You can thank wack UVA start times for that. Anyways, they played about as bad as a #1 team can play last week. Like I said, I'm always scared about going to Madison especially at night and of course the worst happened. Bucky took the opening kick to the house (WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH OUR ST TACKLING?!). The defense got dominated at the line. The offense was putrid to say the least. At least they got exposed in October rather than maybe fooling everyone the entire year and getting smoked at the highest levels of competition. That's not to say I don't think they're good but I guess they are just not National Champion good. They are still a very good team but apparently can't seem to piece it all together this year. Pryor is all but out of the Heisman race at this point in time. It's going to take a very dominant second half of the season to get back in the mix and he very well could as he does have those abilities.

The Rangers are one game away from the World Series and I fully expect them to get that W back down in Arlington. While the Giants are playing very well right now I still think the Phillies come back in that series and we see a Rangers v Phillies World Series. You know I'm riding behind that Claw movement.

Look for a Xavier preview over the next couple of weeks as they started practice last Friday. They are predicted to get second in the A-10 but you know Xavier is just going to do what they do and hopefully snag #5 in a row and then roll in March like we've come to expect them to do. Another HIGH LEVEL non-conference schedule sets them up nicely to dominate A-10 play and be fully prepared for post-season play.

The Browns are the Browns. Colt McCoy did better than I expected in his debut at QB. He certainly has a lot of intangibles to be an NFL QB but doesn't necessarily have the arm. I'm behind him all the way though.
