So much to blog about so little time. I will break them up into separate posts throughout the week.. No crap I will just do Minnie posts for each..
WHS 86
The football half time thing was just as I expected. The good part was seeing people that I had not seen in nearly 20 years.. I won't bore you with the details wait a minute I already have.. The turnout was pretty good short of a few key people that I would liked to have seen especially 22 and the juke box hero sorry way inside.. Mostly everyone appears very happy with their lives or at least gave the impression they did.. It was pretty cool to see JD get inducted into the Hall of Fame.. I am a little biased on this but to mean he was the most elusive running backs I have witnessed in a high school game.. One thing pissed me off was that the royals had all new uniforms.. They have blue helmets,shirts and pants.. They look ridiculous I miss the ugly red white and blue.. But hey if your team is horrible you might as well change uniforms.. That wasn't nice but true.. On a sad note they gave us a old uniforms to keep and wear out there.. Well I am quite certain that my uniform in particular must have been dried to long because it had really shrunk.. In fact if I could have had some navel jewelry I would have been able to showcase it.. (The Mental Picture is sickening.) I might post more on this later but all of the old coaches came back and we sat in a circle at a local bar and the head coach went through the origin of all the old stories including the HOW attack.. The don't touch the ball after it bounces on a punt..JLO.. Pain and Injury.. It was priceless.
Vikings
The vikes took Chicago's best shot and could and probably should have won that game.. I am little upset but if you play to stay close your going to lose to good teams.. Grossman is weak but the bears are a good team.. I think the vikes will be better when they face them again and I think the bears will be worse.. Are O line is playing very poorly.. Mainly because birk is doing nothing up front short of OLE blocking.. The Coach made a key mistake when they threw deep on the last play but hey he took a shot kinda like the fake field goal.. He is no confidence in his Offense to score and they haven't done anything to prove him wrong.. Tomlin gets my game ball he has taken the same guys as last year and put in a new defense and has made a very poor defense to a top 15 defense.. So anyway good game poor execution near the goaline way too many penalties but I like the effort on everyone..
Smoot is going to be benched soon…

No this needs a separate post

Referring to my last few Vikes posts...the Vikes have had a few bad plays per game (although generally have played good, well disciplined ball)...with generally one ridiculously moronic play per game (on an A - F scale, a Z-). Why is it that Childers waited to whip out the Z- the last damn play of the game this time. How about learning to prioritize...
Priorities:
1. 62 yards to go with a couple of minutes left in the game, down by three, with one time out left...you had better make priority #1 getting the damn ball within field goal range to tie the sucker up!
2. Don't turn the ball over!
3. Throw the ball out of bounds if no one is open...you have four full downs to get ten yards...entirely doable!!!...don't even think about taking a sack!
4. Throw "in" routes only if you can get a first down, or have an open receiver deep...then consider taking your timeout!
5. "Poise" as WHS coach DB used to say!!!...absolutely no 5-yard killer penalties during a two minute drill in your own barn!
6. 3rd and 2 or 4th and 2 on THEIR thirty eight...quick pass, quick pass, quick pass, quick pass, quick pass!!!!!!!! Never, EVER throw an out-of-bounds floater into double tight coverage on 4th and 2 with 1:15 left in the game, one time out left, and 10 more yards to put your guy in FG range....moronic!!!!!
We still played a helluva game against a great team, but it should have been a win...or, at a minimum, if we'd been well coached we might have lost in overtime!!!!!
I haven't lost faith in the boys or the coach just yet as they're all still pretty green, but I hope Childers wakes up the next few nights shitting blood for that moronic call which cost us an important win against a tough Chicago team. I place that blunder squarely on Chilly's shoulders this time!
