BSU hangs on

game analysis to follow but I can see it now, with BYU getting killed by Utah.....off to the Roady's Truck Stop/ Hum Bowl game we go....damn!

For the KTVB fans, this was the best game production so far by this unit. Many were afraid of the national presentation of KTVB but they held their own. Now about the clock on the screen...I guess that was not the fault of KTVB. Anyway, kudos to Mark Johnson and Tom Scott and Auggie!

Reno Bound.....

...not for this basement dweller. No, I have been volunteered by my son's Basketball coach to stick around town and take over coaching responsibilities, while the coach takes off for Reno. Thanks a lot friend!

Yes, one might say, that being there for your son during his youth is important, but when this same son could care less about the basketball game that he is suppose to be participating in, one's head might be shaking in confusion/disappointment. I know, the Moms and the overly-sensitive Dads out there might take umbrage with this blogger wanting to stay at home and watch the game ( heck I would take the hall pass and head out to the Reno game), but I chose to be with my son, all the while gritting my teeth and smiling, nonetheless.

Since I will be able to watch the first hour of the game and then head off to my son's b-ball game, I will simply state that the first half will probably be gut wrenching and tight. Thus, this means instead of the x's and o's on the hardwood, my focus will be on the game that I am tivo'ing while I shun out any blabberings about the scoreboard of the BSU game. One might suggest calling in a bomb threat to get out of the b-ball game but I have never seen that work when people are running late to the airport and want to make that flight, so what do they do, call in a bomb threat and everyone gets delayed for 5-6 hours ( not to mention the rest of the passengers in other airports). So that option is not viable.....

I can always don earplugs and not listen to the parents on the sidelines during the game or just ignore the kids all together and start screaming to get their hands up, move their feet, follow through, leap off the other foot on a lay-up and play tougher defense. No matter what happens, my son will come to me after the game and ask why he had to play the whole game instead of sitting out since he was tired. Or if that does not happen, I can see my son caring more about the post game snacks vs actual playing time.

I do not want to get started on how smooth the head coach of my son's b-ball team was, when he asked me to fill in this coming weekend, about 4 weeks ago. He pulled me in hook line and sinker. He knew what he was doing and I will dish out some cold revenge on him in due time.

As for the BSU game, (that I hope is over by the 10th minute in the second quarter) I can see this game actually being really close until the end. I am forecasting a 35-28 ballgame, the run game of Nevada limits the touches by the BSU offense, but Kellen Moore and his bounty of skilled athletes will reach pay dirt plenty of times. Most importantly, IJ scores one more time, late in the game, and ends up beating the Wolfpack of Reno. I prefer a 35-0 first quarter lead so I can hop skip and jump over to the local gym. I doubt that will happen, but I am hoping.

Nothing more to add but if you have any suggestions on how to delay the the UNR game until later Saturday night, hit me up in email form at statueleft@hotmail.com ! I wish the KTVB crew good luck with their national broadcast of the game being featured on espn2! Wish the game time was delayed to 6pm local time, but oh well! Go get 'em Tom Scott!

This blogger does not support bomb threats in any way and thinks the act is quite cowardly!

The second most important game

this coming Saturday, November 20, will be played down in the lovely metropolis, Salt Lake City. I have never enjoyed rooting for BYU, especially since the in-laws ( not pictured above) are partial to that University, however a man must take extreme measures when needed. The obvious reason for this Bronco Blogger to go for the ZOOBS, is Utah needs to lose in order for BSU to have a shot at a BCS bowl. Yes, I know...BSU has to get through Nevada and Fresno State, but I think Utah will need their A-game in order to be successful in the Holy War. It you multiply 365 days by 24 hours, minus the approximate 4 hours the Holy War game will be going on, that is how much I root for against the Cougs. However that will come to an end this weekend, when for 4 hours, I will be the biggest Zoob fan still located on Ada County.

I never knew what a Zoob was until about a week ago, if you are interested in finding out, click here.... but not here as this is not the right answer. However a diehard zoobie takes the word to the extreme...which is okay when extreme measures are needed.

The pic below is the in-laws rubbing off on me.

Thoughts of Reno by Bruce Springsteen

Certainly......not the most uplifting song but neither is Reno, the town itself.

lyrics
She took off her stockings
I held 'em to my face
She had your ankles
I felt filled with grace

"Two hundred dollars straight in
Two-fifty up the ass" she smiled and said
She unbuckled my belt, pulled back her hair
And sat in front of me on the bed

She said, "Honey, how's that feel
Do you want me to go slow?"
My eyes drifted out the window
And down to the road below

I felt my stomach tighten
As the sun bloodied the sky
And sliced through hotel blinds
I closed my eyes

Sunlight on the Amatitlan
Sunlight streaming through your hair
In the Valle de dos Rios
The smell of mock orange filled the air

We rode with the vaqueros
Down into cool rivers of green
I was sure the work and the smile coming out 'neath your hat
Was all I'll ever need

Somehow all you ever need's
Never quite enough you know
You and I, Maria, we learned it's so

She slipped me out of her mouth
"You're ready," she said
She took off her bra and panties
Wet her fingers, slipped it inside her
And crawled over me on the bed

She bought me another whisky
Said "here's to the best you ever had"
We laughed and made a toast
It wasn't the best I ever had
Not even close

It was bound to happen

Fight from the Vandal Game....
