Are You There Happy Valley? It's Me, Bert (SOC Week 5)
« on: September 27, 2024, 03:33:54 PM »
The wind is blowing, it's been raining all day, the high is just above 70, and that means heaven has arrived in Ohio. We've got football tonight and we've got football tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I have to travel some. My dad is sort of the lynchpin holding everything together down home, and he's having some health issues. So I've got to go down and take care of some things. My wife, not being blesses geographically, volunteered us to stop by Athens where my oldest daughter just started college. That's a good hour or two out of the way, all in the driving rain and wind, so it doesn't promise to be a great drive.

Still, I should get down home sometime tonight, to see the great traditional B1G matchup of Washington v. Rutgers. New Jersey forever.

Schedule

Washington at Rutgers, Friday, 8 pm, FOX
Minnesota at #12 Michigan, Noon, FOX
Maryland at Indiana, Noon, BTN
Nebraska at Purdue, Noon, Peacock
Wisconsin at #13 USC, 3:30 pm, CBS
#3 OSU at MSU, 7:30, Peacock
#19 Illinois at #9 PSU, 7:30, NBC
#8 Oregon at UCLA, 11 pm, FOX

Others
#20 Okie State at #23 Kansas State, Noon, ESPN
#15 Louisville at #16 ND, 3:30, Peacock
#2 Georgia at #4 Alabama, 7:30, ABC

Decided I'm not going to the high school game tonight, it's in a town about 1.5 hours away and through some heavy traffic.  The marching band can do without me this week.

So I guess I'm watching  B1G Friday Primetime tonight.  I'm indifferent to both Washington and Rutgers so... Go... Team!

Horns and Ags both play around the same time tomorrow.  We're going to have reps from both families here at the house.  I'm grilling fajitas for the gang, my i s c & a aggie wife is making the Mexican rice, bro is doing a big pot of frijoles charros.  Folks are bringing guacamole and picadillo.  Sis is making the chile con queso.  Margaritas y cervezas will be consumed.

Gonna be a good day.

Sorry to hear about his health issues Sam. Tough when family goes through health problems. The reality of life can hit hard and without compassion. Drive safe.

Anybody watch Army vs Temple? 

There's nothing worse than losing big to an option team....and all they're gonna keep doing is that same option that you can't handle already.

Miami losing to Virginia Tech at home at half-time 24-17. wow. 

just when I want to believe in them, they go and do this. Cam Ward better ball out in the 2nd half or else....

yeah i get it conference games are always tough, but VaTech stinks. this is a team that lost to Vanderbilt in a game that wasn't really as close as the final score indicated and also lost to Rutgers....

Rutgers pretty much punking Washington right now. Rutgers is definitely an improved team, but Washington probably sucks.

is this a serious question? isn't the answer obvious? 

they lost the best passing QB in the country and maybe the best QB they've ever had in Penix to the NFL. they lost 3 WR's to the NFL draft. they lost literally their entire OL to the NFL draft/graduation/portal. they lost their head coach and huge chunk of their coaching staff to Alabama. they joined a new conference and have to scout/adapt to all new opponents and completely different style of play than they are used to in the PAC and ontop of that are traveling back and forth like 5,000 miles for these damn games. and they weren't a great defensive team last year and what little talent they had on that side of the ball hit the portal or the NFL draft. 

I believe they lost 20 of 22 starters from last years team and 30 players in their two deep from last year to NFL/graduation/portal and you throw in an all-new coaching staff and a massive transition to the B1G with long distance travel- they were bound to suck.

it's not remotely the same team/program. everything has changed.

Cam Ward put Miami on his back that drive and punches it in with a 17 yard TD run. 27-24, Miami clawing back only down by 3 now going into the 4th QTR. 

This is where VaTech collapses and Ward pulls off the comeback methinks.
