Coaching stupidity, some Falcons talk and put out that damn Cigart!

Having attended the University of South Carolina you could say im a big USC fan. I love Steve Spurrier. The guy is funny, obsurdly blunt and overall just a big bad ass. However, he blew the game for us on Saturday. South Carolina, having blown a 28-10 halftime lead is driving down the field for the game tying FG to send the game to overtime. With 2 timeouts left and the ball on the kentucky 45 yard line I feel pretty confident we are going to send it to OT. Thats when the brain fart happens. We complete a pass and get out of bounds. Clock is stopped. So what do we do? We get up to the line and blow a TO!!! OK fine, no big deal right. Well we comlpete about an 18 yard out and again get out of bounds with 11 seconds left around the 20 yard line. PERFECT!! Now we can run one more play and call a TO. Wrong. We blow ANOTHER TO and now have none with 11 seconds left. We either kick it now or take a chance throwing the ball for a first down or into the end zone. Spurrier has always been balls to the wall so im sitting their thinking hes going to go for the glory. He does. He designs a play where we throw the ball to I think our 5th receiver, some guy I have never heard of and the ball is intercepted. Game over! Welcome back to earth USC. A win against Kentucky and they have basically sealed the SEC east since Florida ends up losing at home to Mississippi State. Now South Carolina is in must win games leading up to the Florida game.

The Falcons flew into Philly yesterday for a big NFC battle with the Eagles and Mike Vick. Check that, Kevin Kolb. I am not going to bash the Falcons as I feel as if we have a very good team this year and we just played terrible yesterday. 4 of our first 6 games this year have been on the road and if you would of told me we would be 4-2 after those 6 I would be very happy. I am going to bash on Mularkey and the Falcon offense a little here. What I cant seem to understand is why the Falcons REFUSE to go to the no huddle offense sooner? Matt Ryan has proven over the 3 years he has been here that he can run that offense. His stats in the hurry up are very good. When we go down 14-0 its imperitive we get something going on offense. NOPE. Mularkey runs the same ole BS plays and we go 3 and out. MIX IT UP ALREADY. Im just a fan and when I can tell you whats coming before the play then Im pretty sure Defensive Coordinators who work 100+ hours each week sure as hell can. When was the last time we ran a reverse or something out of the ordinary like that? Its the same old run on first down, throw 5 yards on 2nd down and convert a 3rd and 4. Or maybe run on first down, run on second down and try and convert a 3rd and 6. We have a TON of offensive weapons and should be eating up chunks or yardage like the eagles do. Again, im happy where we stand at 4-2 but just dissapointed with the offense and the lack if creativity in ther play calling.

Friday night the Eagles were in town and seeing as the Eagles was on my bucket list I knew I had to go. I went down there with my wife and father in law and was pretty pumped about  it. We get down there relatively early and hustle in to get some good seats. We get pretty far up and camp out right by the beer station. Jackpot! Not so fast. While being close to the beer is a good thing, its also a terrible thing. Everyone around you wants to get some beer, so that means they are going to be walking all over you to fill their alcohol need. At the beginning its not so bad. As the concert gets closer its starting to border on obsurd. Their is this guy next to us who is freaking HUGE! He is starting to get really pissed and literally looks like he is about to kill someone. After literally 2 hours of people constantly walking over us this guy has had enough. He stands up and yells "this isnt a f**king walkway!" About 10 seconds later this lady comes walking through and the dude literally chucks her over his shoulder! She hits the person behind us and just looks stunned. Right on cue "Your an asshole", "thats a lady", "big man you are" all start to ring out. Around the same time this awful smell of a mix between a cigar and a fart starts to fill the air. Sensing the tension Joe and I start making light of the Situatuon. "Would someone please put out that damn Cigart!" "Who is smoking the Cigart!" "Seriously that cigart smells awful!" At this point I am crying I am laughing so hard. No lie it smelled just like the mix between a Cuban and a fart. Im laughing right now thinking about it. The Eagles were off the chain and Jim Walsh is the man on guitar. The guy is like 65 and just rocks it. All in all absolutely good times
