Simulated Gameday Experience

This is a script we’re used to reading. At this point, Weis’s record against winning teams since 2006 is known and it’s bad (only one win from 2006-2008). By that standard, this season’s already been a rousing success with a convincing win over Nevada to open the season and a 20-16 squeaker over BC.

Remember that once-a-week thing with SEC Rivals? It’s a power poll, but with a limitation; they don’t want me writing a ton about each team. Well, when it comes to only writing a few sentences at a time I’m completely incapable of that – so hey, let’s repost half the damn thing and say what I wanted to say. (more…)

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these; I’m not used to the idea of having to reintroduce myself. I got so entrenched at Left Field Bluffs that I’ve forgotten what it’s like to actually need to describe myself to a new audience. (more…)
