Almost Here

Finally it's almost time to see real football again! And the Panthers look so different from last year. We had to say goodbye to Mike Minter and Keyshawn Johnson. Minter's departure was particularly sad. I'm not very optimistic about the cats this year. Steve Smith, John Kasay and Julius Peppers are the Panthers I think we can count on to produce consistently this year. As much as I like Jake D, I wonder how long we will pretend he is the answer. And David Carr as a backup doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the decision making down there.

Hungry like the Wufs Part II

Looks like Ms. Wuf also likes to take a bite out of rams. The Lady Wolfpack pulled an upset of the #2 ranked Lady Tarheels making it a double double for State upsets over Carolina.

Poor Ramses. Can't beat State. Can't even get a hottie Wo-ram like his studly counterpart Mr. Wuf.

Deja Vu--all over again

It happened again tonight. A kick return leading to a touchdown on the first play. Definitely bad news for the Bears, just like it was for the Buckeyes. It was my first thought as soon as I saw it. I tried to keep hope alive, but the sense of the inevitable filled me.

Congratulations to Tony Dungy (and Lovie Smith) on making history. That was the best moment of the night! Loved the Coke commercials that paid homage to this occasion.

And just in case the Madden curse and the SI cover curse is real, I beseech the coaches, owners, or whomever is in charge not to tempt fate and allow the Panthers near any of those covers this year.

I happily close the book on this uneven, unpredictable, football season. Time to get 'em straight!.

Panthers are 0-0, we're going all the way, baby! Super Bowl XLII Champs!

Hungry like the...

I went to the grocery store today and NC State 'nalia was everywhere. Heads high, the fans had a big bounce in their steps. Looks like Ramses met the Big Bad Wuf yesterday. I didn't care who won, but I enjoyed watching a truly exciting game.

And my Buckeyes squeaked out a win too. :-)

Super Bowl Pick

Da Bears.

Otis Wilson and Willie Gault--yummy chocolate swirls not lookin' to cause no trouble indeed!
