Grasping at Straws on why not to recognize what Coach Kelly is building!
Here we are again!...
On the verge...the verge of turning that corner!
Will we?
That's yet to be determined!
The media has all but forgiven them for gift wrapping the first two games and delivering them to lesser teams....but let's not play Santa ANYMORE!
Here's the way I see it so far...This team is coming together!...From the players and coaches I talk to...to the media covering the everyday movements of the squad, there is one universal truth...
Until they WIN a "big" BCS game against a "big" BCS type team...
They have not arrived!
Now when I say "big BCS" type team, I'm not talking about Big 10....not Pac, whatever they are now...or some Cinderella like Boise that lucks into the mix...
I'm talking pipe hitting...barely able to read....SEC Monster!
I'm talking pipe hitting...barely able to read....SEC Monster!
They need the next 6 games to prepare!....The next six teams could all beat them, or all lose!...
There is no third direction!...but make no mistake...
This is still very much!...
Have we done some good things?...YEAH!...
1. Top 15 Offense in the country!
2. Led by a top 25 QB in Tommy Rees who is completing 65% of his passes...
3. Protected by an offensive line that has given up less than 1 sack a game this season!...(only 4 all year!...some teams gave up 8 last week alone!...)
4. With shifty, hard to get a hand on, TOP 10 RUSHER IN THE NATION-Cierre Wood!
5. Top 8 receiver in the Nation...Michael Floyd!...
And...my favorite!....
This is an awesome...stat...
That's right folks!....factor in our strength of schedule...
and the fact that our D has allowed 1...that's 1!...Rushing TD this season...(that being a ball that bounced into Denard Robinson's hands like a fat kid getting a piece of cake on the 2 yard line!...) We have flat SHUT TEAMS DOWN!...
So once again I ask....Where do we go from here?
We Welcome in the...
NUMBER 3 RUSHING OFFENSE IN COLLGE FOOTBALL!
only 14 yards behind GT per game averaging 365 rushing yards per contest!
This week is about discipline....gap assignments and protecting your knees!...
The key to this game...very simple!...
Over 1000 pounds of BEEF!...
The triple option is predicated upon hitting gaps and taking advantage of the corners...
That's hard to do when your lineman are being pushed back into your running lanes!
Let's be honest with ourselves people....the Offense will score on ANYONE!
The Defense, is what's winning games!
The D shows up strong...controls the trenches...creates mismatches in the gaps...and..
If not...they control the clock...Keep Floyd and the boys on the side lines!....and who knows?
That's why it's time to put together a streak!
Play EVERY game, as if it's your last...play EVERY team, as if this is the championship...
Attack EVERY play, as if it's 4th and 1!
Make the most of EVERY opportunity!
...and WIN!
Take a moment and realize that the blue print is coming together...
The Rock built the factory!
And I'll tell you what....Coach Kelly is making this machine hum!
So sit back....relax...and realize...the dog day's of trash talking are right around the corner...
Guy's like Desmond "D-bag" Howard....Mark May....Kirk "highlights" Herbstriet..
Will all be eating their words talking about...
"I knew Coach Kelly was the right man for the job!"
Now all we have to do...is SHOW UP...and PROVE IT!
As we close my Irish Family I would like to take a moment and encourage you to
Drink...Swear...Steal...and Lie!
This week I've had to get my 68 year old mother some help for what could possibly be dementia...
As tears swell in my eyes thinking that I may have had my last conversation with the "real" her...grab your loves ones and remember...
Drink... from the fountain of love and friendship of your fellow man.
Swear...to make each day the best day of your life.
Steal...a little time every day for family and friends.
and Lie...in bed at night and thank God for the good times....but also thank him for the bad times... because it's the bad times that make the good times feel that much sweeter!...
Go IRISH...and GOD BLESS!
