Damn those Bucknuts

The Buckeyes laid their annual smackdown on the Cats, routing the Purple 45-10. The defense was unable to catch Pryor in the backfield, and as best I could tell, he is the second coming of Joe Namath except he has good knees and can scramble like a mofo. And he performs best on third and long, on which he seemed to either scramble or throw for huge yards.

'Nuf said. Move on. The Bucknuts can come back here next year and beat the crap out of us. Or we'll go there, and they can beat the crap out of us. Whatever.

Next up for the Cats is the Michigan Woeful-rines. Except, the Woeful-rines showed some signs of life this past weekend, beating Minnesota 29-6. Either Minnesota is falling apart (2 losses in a row) and stinks, or, Michigan is beginning to gel as a team. Either way, this is a huge game for the Cats, as a win will improve their bowl selection immensely. Injuries have depleted the Cats, with the starting QB, RB, one DE, and one LB out; additionally the second-string RB is out or he's in, no-one seems to know. Fitzgerald will need to pull some coaching magic to get a reasonable team on the field against Michigan.

Since the Michigan game is at the Big House, the tail gate will morph to a deck gate to be held at the Skoper's mansion.
