Some Football Thoughts

So, this week has been spent by me in pure pigskin Hell. I've sunken into the fact that my alma mater stinks at football (and has for all of this decade) but I at least expect some facade of competence, and getting Pwn3d by Kentucky (at home) does NOT count. But hey, some national sports writers are still firmly entrenched on the Croom bandwagon, so that has to count for something, right? Plus, the Clarion-Ledger is looking for MSU fans to tell their "feelings" about the season. Personally, I prefer my seldomly updated, poorly thought out, anonymous blog for such things. Anyway, tomorrow's "brunch game" features MSU vs. Alabama. It was a decade ago when MSU had their WTF? moment of victory over the Top 10 Tide in a game that they frankly had no business winning. I was but a lowly freshman then, and the most memorable part of the game other than the W was the parachute guy breaking his leg before the game. But I digress. The bulletin board material for tomorrow's game (stop laughing, please) has come courtesy of Bama RB Jimmy Johns. There was some bad blood after he signed with Bama after (allegedly) commiting to MSU. Good thing he's not still being a dick about it or anything. Maybe a home-delivered gourmet sub can make things right. In more random crap, I have something in common with "Bruno". We've both been heckled in Bryant-Denny stadium. Although the guy that flipped me off had a way better mullet. But equally weak smack. Observe.

As an aside, I could have gone with friends to the UT/LSU game (aka the matchup good taste forgot) but didn't. I suggested the weekends drinking game should involve orange/white vs. purple/gold "ghettoflage" (it's the new zubaz!) Which makes me insane. Or just someone who values his liver.
In completely unrelated news; finally, microbiology and college sports come together in glorious fashion with the story of the football team plagued by Staph infections. From their couch. You're welcome, fellow nerds.
Moving onto pro football, my beloved Broncos took one on the chin AT HOME to the Colts last Sunday. The whole game just kinda had the feel to it that whoever got the ball last would win, plus the vaunted Denver D looked like mere mortals for the first time in a while. On the closing drive, we all freakin' knew what would happen. Whew, I got through that description without any mention of my lonstanding seething resentment of everything Manning. Plus, to make the misery worse, the Raiders won (!?), and the Chargers, aided by their roid-raging freak who apparenlty thinks we're all total morons won, too. Anyway, the game this weekend against the reeling Steelers will (hopefully) be a good time to rebound. It also seems to be a bit under the radar in the AFC, too. Which might be a good thing. So, that's pretty much all from me now. If anyone asks, I'm NOT off to go get a "massage".
