October 31, 2009 - Somewhere in the Atlantic, a gentle breeze pushes the S.S. Vanderbilt along at 4 knots.

 

Ship3_medium

 

Little does the Vanderbilt realize it is being watched.

 

Ship4_medium

 

Boom.

 

Ship5_medium

 

The Vanderbilt never saw it coming.

I like how the storyboards are growing more elaborate—at least it won’t be raining at the game tonight—time enough between work and game to down a few beers.

Great job, John!

…aaaaand I’m taking my daughter trick or treating as a Whoopin Stick!

I’m a sudden IU fan as they’re beating Iowa early in the 2nd quarter.

just powerpoint

Just google for images that I wanna base pics on then I free hand in powerpoint with the shape drawing tool. All the different colored areas are just different layered autoshapes that people use normally for presentations.

14-0

IU is winning 14-0. If anyone is looking for good pre / post game place to have a good time—check out Flying Saucer or Tin Roof - both off of Demonbreun. Also Red Door Saloon on Division is maybe like 1/2 mile from the stadium at most-all good places.

games of interest

IU-Iowa – go Hoosiers, knock off a top 10 team for GT

NCSU-FSU – shootout, ridiculous offense, great game to watch

Worst game on TV – Auburn-Ole Miss. I’m watchin’ it with a NCSU grad that loves Auburn (makes little to no sense).

FSU edges out NCST

And still plays no defense, yet might win the Atlantic. Horrible.

Also, Wake is up 17-0 over Miami, hahahahaha. Now, I’m just flipping to it between breaks in the ugay-UF game and every time I’ve watched, Wake has scored, so I’m not sure if Wake is playing solid D or if Miami’s offense has completely fallen apart.

WF-UM

I would have to pull for the canes on this one since strength of schedule does factor into BCS standings—wake is awful, so that wouldn’t be good for the canes.

On FSU & Clemson--

Not sure who I would want to play if we had to face them again in the ACCCG—they would both come out wanting to prove something

I'd rather play FSU

I think we’d beat them more soundly. Clemson scares me with their offense/defense combination.

Yeah—I think I agree, my buddy went to fsu and his take on it is even ‘blind men’ could run wild against their D—our defense has really stepped it up too—Clemson’s defensive line is a lot better than that of Florida State as well—only 10 more minutes of work then headin to West End Ave to see us throw down. Go Tech!

Holy shizzers

Is anyone watching this Wake-Miami game? Harris just hit three in a row for about 60 yards and tied it up 27-27.

Poor Wake

That’s asking a lot from your kicker to hit a 60 yarder when his career long is 42.

Turd Canes win 28-27.

And

In case anyone was wondering, Skinner took a hit to the head sans his own helmet, so he’s been out for most of the 4th quarter. Not exactly a cause of anything as Wake has given the ball away like five times now I think.

I’ve got the game recording, but I see our kick coverage still needs work. I have to say that I am disappointed that this is a close game at all. I guess I’ll just have to keep waiting for that big bust-out game.

CPJ was just toying with them, like a cat with a mouse.

by RamblininAlb on Oct 31, 2009 10:55 PM EDT reply actions  

Well

At least I got our side of my prediction right. I sure hope CPJ get all in Wommack’s rear about this defense, because if we end up getting Clemson in the ACCCG I’m not sure it’ll hold. Plus, color me somewhat spoiled on the Tenuta defense’s of old. I don’t like watching arm tackles and wide open spaces over the middle every single game.

Other than that, a win’s a win’s a win. And winning by 20 or so is never a bad thing, heck they couldn’t slow our second unit. I expect more of the same against Wake and if Skinner is out, I doubt they have the offense that Vandy did tonight. I really feel for Skinner, that helmet to head hit he took had to hurt like no other.

Either way, 8-1 and I hope we move up.
