1.) Both of these things are true: I am too old AND my heart is too full of bacon grease for too many more of these types of games. Let's maybe put it away a little earlier next time, right boys?
2.) Not to jinx things -- but that is now a *15* game winning streak at home.
3.) And not to jinx other things -- but that is now *29* games in a row where McSORLEY has thrown a touchdown pass.
4.) And not to jinx even more things -- but this week was the first time since 1959 when five BIG10 teams were in the top 20.
5.) Now I'm not necessarily saying that there's a direct connection, but those bright shoes on the Appalachian State players sure looked like more and more penalty flags every time I looked at the screen.
6.) Okay Xfinity and the BIG10 network and FOX, I will begrudgingly thank you for finally striking a deal just before this season started to provide that channel to us here in the SoFlo (for a 4.99 per month fee of course for 12 months [after which it jumps up to 9.99 per month]). Sure, I liked the first few years when it was FREE -- but I understand that Obama isn't in office any more, and so big companies are going to make some Trump moves against us po' folk.
7.) Hey announcermen -- when you show pictures and talk about all the excitement in "fansville", we know you mean "Paternoville" and that you're just too chickenshit to call it that.
8.) Hey announcermen -- when you talk about Miles SANDERS and his "nice looking thighs" and how he's "like a 300 pounder below the waist", I have to tell you that it sounds like something Sandusky might have said in the showers. (What? Too soon??)
9.) I don't care what anyone else says. *My* player of the week is going to *have* to be Amani ORUWARIYE, for obvious reasons for finally putting an end to that game!
In closing, thanks to the fine folks at google, seeing as how I had to use them not once ... not twice ... but THRICE during the game (to find out that App State was in NC and not WV as I assumed, to find out where the heck announcerman Millen lived when he said he was from Hockendaqua, PA as he stated, and to make sure that offsite kicks weren't some kind of illegal bitch-ass move as it appeared ... and here's to next week's night game with Pitt (and here's hoping they can put aside their apparent frustration with not getting annual games with us next decade [see link below/to follow for *that* drama]).
