Well, I guess there is no turning back now. We made our first trip together with my family, shared a hotel room and all. Not as awkward as it could have been, but I’m glad we can put this “milestone” behind us and move forward. NashVegas was great. I really love that town. It is safe to say that (along with Beale Street in Memphis) Nashville is the only good thing from Tennessee.
More importantly, the Dawgs won. Not at all pretty, but a win nonetheless. Our offense is so pedestrian that they can ill afford to make any mistakes less they stall out like they did pretty much the entire first half. Matt Stafford is well on his way to becoming nothing more than over-hyped. He has not really done anything, yet. I’m not giving up on him, but I do think that all those people wearing the red #7 jerseys with “Heisman” written on the back should put them away for a little while.
Our defense is (at this moment) as frightening as I have ever seen. I would not trust them to stop the French Army. I am seeing some improvements. We got very close to blowing up some of Vandy’s offensive schemes, but at the last second, they would break away for a long run or throw. The fact that they had a running QB and we showed an utter inability to stop him makes me very nervous as we head into TWLOCP in two weeks. You see, FU also has a QB who likes to run. Maybe you have heard of him. Well, if you have turned on E$PN for even ten seconds over the last six months, then you have surely heard his entire life story and found out that he might be the second coming of the Messiah. I don’t care if you are watching bowling coverage, somehow this guy is given props. Ridiculous! As a good friend from the Classic City says... T.T. is a swamp b@stard! I only wish we had the defense to stop him.
