ohio homecoming

i apologize for not having the ability to make video recordings of my games. I studied Ohio St like crazy and decided that all game I would attack their DEs, the only weak links in their D. My D of course has no weak links, check out this rad defensive depth chart. Anyways i'll just let the pictures do the talking


this would be a common site all game, yes that is an Impact LB that Reese is throwing down. Reese would run the ball 32 times for 174 yards and 1 TD


yes i did run the ball 44 times and only threw 11 times, their secondary was sweet, but i had a gameplan and stuck to it. Even QB Chad Arnold ran for 34 yards in a 17-14 Bama victory.


victory


defeat


Many expected negative reaction from the Ohio crowd, however Reese's performance left the crowd in awe. There are now high demands for the Cleveland Browns to throw the season so that they may get a high draft pick and bring Reese back to Ohio. The Tide is now 6-0 with a number 6 ranking, they travel to Oxford against a 4-2 Ole Miss team

sad day across the nation, but Bama stayed Crimson. Roll Tide

congrats CR, don't 4get to keep reading this blog jerkstore

SEC invades ohio

I don't know too much about this guy in the picture, but for some odd reason this individual, who was born in Ohio, is wearing a Georgia Bulldogs t-shirt. Has the South taken over the great state of Ohio? Who knows! One thing is certain however, is that this guy probably has a really cool uncle.

Anyways later tonight a critical senate battle will take place in the state of Ohio between republcian Mike DeWitt and Democrat Sherrod Brown. But of greater importance and of higher national concern will be a matchup taking place in the bedroom of a 2nd floor apartment in Kitsilano, BC. Yes my friends 4-0 #10 ranked Alabama takes their show on the road in Columbus against 4-0 Ohio St, who is ranked #7. This also marks the return of former Buckeye Josh Reese to the state of Ohio. Reese won a national title with Ohio St in his SO year, however he was kicked out and has since transferred to Alabama. In his first four games, Reese rushed for 532 yards and 8 TDs. He has not lost a game in his college career. He'll have to put his show against a tough Buckeye team which features its own star RB in Heisman favorite Tony McCauley who has 678 yards for 8 TDs in four games. However the Buckeye's strength lies within the Defense where a majority of the starters have ratings over 90.

The game also marks the return of several Ohio high school standouts who have since not set foot in their homestate because they did not sign with OSU. WR Brandon Luke who was the 2008 high school player of the year won a 1A state title with Ravenna as a FR and then transferred to St. Mary/St Vincent H.S. in Akron to play both basketball and football. He led the basketball and football teams to three straight state titles and was deemed an Ohio legend, until for some odd reason he turned down Ohio St and signed with Alabama. Luke who played AAU basketball with Josh Reese was going through the recruiting process around the same time that Josh Reese got into his highly publicized fight with Greg Oden. But the truth is that since a kid Luke has been a big fan of elephants and he was sold on Bama because of their Mascot. Also returning to Ohio will be MLB Gavin Lee of Bowling Green and LT Keith Davis of Cuyahoga Falls. All of Bama's Ohio players are dedicating their game to University of Arizona legend Justin Abdullah of Shaker Heights, who was also exiled from his homestate for not signing with Ohio St

For more on Bama's team take a gander at this sweet depth chart that Riverdale Palmtrees made for me, cheers!

victory in the swamp and defensive depth chart

A reader of mine was right, in stating that defense does win championships. And despite my talented skill position guys, its been my D that has put through tough games. I haven't had time to play because I spent the last couple days in a million dollar lodge in Whistler with some cool peeps and had a friend from PITT in for a visit. I got in a quick game before we left for Whistler against a 4-0 #24 Florida team in the swamp and Bama came out with a 25-17 victory. Josh Reese ran for 92 yards and 2 TDs, while SO QB Terrance Graves is playing the video game Bama version of Tim Tebow as he was only in for about 7 snaps but ran 3 times for 44 yards and the game winning TD. But what was key in this game was the defensive depth. The Gators had long drives which meant that many of my subs got P/T (my sub out is set at 79 while sub in is at 72). True FR Chris Battle had a critical sack in the early 4th quarter which killed all momentum for the Gators. Big matchup next at the Horseshoe as #10 Bama faces #7 Ohio St, in Josh Reese's homecoming to his old school. I'm hooked on Veronica Mars right now, so I'll probably play this game tomorrow night
