gypsies and mormons

this will be my last post on blogger............

the new url is http://stolenbikedynasty.wordpress.com/

just like pretty young blondes who convert disillusioned kids to the Church of Latter Day Saints, CL from Riverdale Palm Trees has converted me to wordpress. The new beta blogger layout (yuk!) combined with the cool google search stats feature (a person typed in "Dating White Girls" to get to Riverdale Palm Trees and we also found out how many of our friends google themselves) prompted the move

the online gypsy caravan has been in effect before, mostly from email urls. ahhh lets see my first email address was phatkan@hungover.com, then there was willieboy84@gocubs.com and the email that I used throughout highschool and college was migrantfarmer@ilovecrayons.com, ha all i can say about the emails i printed up when crayola closed down this url is:

anyways i'm rushing to play my SEC Championship game against Florida, so here are highlights in point form of my 56-13 blowout against BYU:

p.s. I like mormons, they are my favorite strict religion and ya I like Steve Young and I used to have a semi crush on Julie Stoffer from Real World New Orleans (she had similar features of someone i knew)

- 3rd string Greg Montgomery QB played the first series of the game, he went 0-3, but got to play again in the 4th quater and finished with 116 yards and 1 TD
- Terrence Graves had 5 total TDs; 10-12 for 171 yards and 2 TDs, 39 yards rushing 3 TDs
- rushing against the 3-5-3 is tough
- top rusher was 4th string RB Carlos Roberts (FR from Orange County) he had one rush for a 52 yard TD
- Canadian WR Kenny Thornton had 5 catches for 128 yards and 2 TDs

Aaron Mikulec is in the running for best DEF player and best LB. Behind him are two LBs from Oklahoma. Both Bama and Oklahoma have conference championship games. So these awards will probably be determined by their performances at these games. USC finished undefeated and is probably hoping for a Bama or Oklahoma loss.

And to close out my career here on blogger, I must say that there are many things I hate about Vancouver but their are a couple I'm proud of: new life, i developed a better appreciation of all things toronto and my friends and fam, cheap sushi, main st., commercial drive, work basketball league, cooking with TS, the 84 Bus, half asian chicks who sleep with me, drink specials, 2003-2005 wednesday nights at the main legion, eastvan theatre, a day trip to seattle is better than a day trip to buffalo, and my bike that Joy gave me, but i have never been more proud of my adopted city than when I found out that gypsies have been robbing jewlery stores in the lower mainland. I'm sorry I'm tearing up...




SEE YALL ON WORDPRESS, ROLL TIDE

sanchez dirty in iron bowl win

Seth Sanchez finally had his breakout game. An 80 yard TD in the 2nd quarter put momentum in Bama's favor. McCullar followed up the freshman's run with an INT TD, paving the way for Alabama's 40-17 victory. Graves played most of the game at QB going 9-13 for 121 yards and 1 TD (to SR Curry) but the focus was on the run which tired out Auburn's D; run stats below:

Ferguson 127 yards
Sanchez 90 yards 1 TD
Coles 51 yards 1 TD

All SRs were immpressive in their tearful last game in Tuscaloosa. Bama will now celebrate by taking a trip to Provo Utah to face 1-9 BYU. Coach Namath promises a mormon girl to each non-married Tide member. Florida in on the horrizon, but for now its party time BYU style. However McCullar is already calling out Oklahoma WR star Jonathan Young: After scoring his TD, McCullar pulled out a sharpie and wrote "Jonathan Young's sister" on the ball and started to dry hump it.


McCullar returning an INT for a TD he later dry humped the ball

notes:
Bama's strength of schedule is looking good as West Virginia and Arkansas still only have one loss. Both loss to the Tide earlier in the year by 3 points.

bama clinches SEC West

Bama clicnhed the SEC West title with a 16-10 victory over LSU. Do not let the close score fool you, this game was sloppy. It started out well as Terrence Graves rushed for 65 yards and was 3-3 for 23 yards in the 1st quarter, however he sprained his elbow and was out for the game. Spicer came in but played horribly. Starting LT Jordan Johnson was suspeneded for the game for missing a mandatory workout, so in came Peter McCullough, this year's Anthony Muir Scholarship recipient. And in typcial Tony style, he sucked and was pushed around by the LSU RE all game. Seth Sanchez would score the only Tide TD in this fumble fest and for once on NCAA 07 , it was the CPU team that had fumblelitis. It got to the point where LSU fumbled the ball twice in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter. Out of respect, I punted the ball back to them on 1st down. I could not let the game end with back to back CPU fumbles, even though it has happened to the User team countless times before. This sets up a matchup in Atlanta against SEC East champs Florida. But Auburn and BYU are still left in the regular season.

There could be a possible rematch of the 2011 national title game which saw Oklahoma beat Alabama in OT. Half black half native OU WR Jonathan Young of Pontotoc, Mississippi, (who is well aware that his route from MS to OK is smiliar to that of his ancestor's on the Trail of Tears) is the frontrunner for the Heisman and he is already talking smack about the Alabama secondary. "Those carpetbaggers Mills and McCullar and them scalawag safties ain't got nothin' on this relocated country boy". Young is a 19th century American History major.

Also of note I would like to officially welcome Mike and his UCLA dynasty into the wiki. Hahaha sucker and although not as hardcore as us, Jeff A.K.A. S.O. lost in the national title in his OU dynasty to USC, on a SAFETY.

With an early commitment from army brat Marcus Minor, the #1 rated QB from Fort Bliss, TX (if you haven't read about Fort Bliss, you should), I am wondering if I should stop recruiting the #2 QB Jeremy Hood of Cinncinati. At 6'2 205 and with 4.52 speed, Hood is a Terrence Graves clone. However our scouts tell us that he has poor discipline and poor potential. He is straight thuggin and is the polar opposite of the military man Minor. Also from the start of the year, he has had Bama #1 on his list. I want to avoid a controversey at QB, but at the same time I am afraid that Minor may go off to fight terror. Boosters, what's your take?

Also I need Grossman, Berian, Chicago D & Thomas Jones not to get 50 pool points in order for me to advance to the semi finals in my work fantasy football pool. Go Rams

cupcake tuneup

wow, NFL was pretty fun today. Vince and Leinart were sick. The Cards / Seahawks (forever the butt end of jokes) I must say play the most exciting football out there. Anyways back to important news. Hopefully tonight I will play LSU, after then its Auburn. Yup: Tigers squared. End of the year always proves to be tough in my Dynasty, but this year I added BYU for fun, so that I could have a snow game and stick it to Mormons.

Leading up into the game of the week against 8-1 LSU, I had two cupcake games which proved no problem, except for the fact that there appears to be a controversy for the #2 WR spot. FR Anthony Thomas who was #6 on the depth chart, all of sudden progressed 5 points to an 85 rating. With his speed and agility there was no way I could keep him out of the lineup. Canadian Kenny Thornton (pictured right) established himself as the #1 guy, he broke an Alabama single game reception record vs. Miss St. And SR Lawrence Curry who returns punts and kickoffs is fine at #3. However Freshmen Chris Richard and Thomas along with SOs David Wayne and Wes Holey all have about the same ability. And all except Richard (he's a nice guy) are demanding the ball. Anyways their performance in the LSU and Auburn games will most likely determine their futures at Alabama. Key stats below, enjoy:

Alabama 52, Mississippi St 7 Tuscaloosa

Spicer 9-10, 156 yards 2TDs
Graves 14-18, 190 yards 3TDs
Ferguson 100 yards
Thornton 12rec 213 yards 3TDs (school rec for single game rec)

Alabama 38, Vanderbilt 10 Nashville

Spicer 8-12, 118 yards 1TD
Graves 9-12, 95 yards 2TDs; 47 yards rushing
Ferguson 130 yards 2TDs
Anthony Thomas 3rec 63 yards 1TDs (The TD was sick, he juked past everyone)

k I'm going home to watch Saints / Cowboys

MARCUS MINOR, fort bliss, tx,

Terrence Graves will most likely stay for his 5th year and will be the starter at QB for the 2013 season. However the future signal caller is Marcus Minor of Fort Bliss, Texas, the #1 rated QB. At 6'3 232 and with 4.6 speed, this guy is a machine. No seriously, this guy might be an actual robot or a genetically cloned military experiment. Spanning 1.12 million acres (size of Rhode Island) Fort Bliss is the largest military base on US soil. Not much is known about Minor, except for the fact that his parents are high ranking officers. Minor, who turned down Texas A & M (no female cheerleaders!) also played LB and is the 2nd 915 (not to be confused with ginofied 905) superstar to sign with the Tide, Socorro's Seth Sanchez was the first. Marcus is also a weapons specialist and he enjoys watching missle tests at the White Sands Missle Range, which is located by Fort Bliss. Now I have motivation to play this game for at least 3 more Dynasty years.

defensive disharmony

bama is 7-0, Spicer and Graves have no problem with the 2 QB system. Not since the Choctow indians provided $710 worth of relief to Ireland during the potato famine, has racial harmony been so high. Unfortunately the same harmony can not be said of the Alabama defense. The picture to the right taken at the Tennessee game says it all: CB David McCullar clearly has the INT, but LB Aaron Mikulec (who is in the heisman race) and FS Alphonso Cole, are trying to jack him of his glory.While the D is on the verge of becoming the greatest ever, the clashing of egos and personalities are becoming a problem in the locker room. The safties, Stephen Schilcher and Cole are straight country hicks who like fishing; they hate the NYC suburban / wannabe Queens attitude by CBs McCullar and Mills. Meanwhile LBs Mikulec and Gavin Lee are pure blue collar and they too hate M & Ms swagger and have even threatened them at various off campus parties. Of course all this info and more on each player's individual profiles on the wiki

Prior to matchup with Tennessee, thrash talking McCullar was charged with plagiarism. The University wanted him out for 2 games, but Namath only suspeneded him for the first half. "The Vols WRs are tough" was Coach Namath's response. The score was tied 14-14 at the end of the second quarter, but once McCullar stepped in, and Tennessee's passing game was shut down. McCullar played the game of his life and he reminded everyone about it, including his own teammates.

"You hicks ain't nothing without me"

"East coast, what!"

"The southern man, does need me around, anyhow"

"Jersey all up in this Jefferson Davis shit"

Aaron Mikulec (a proud southerner) almost lost it and called him a "carpetbagger", but Coach Namath took him to the side and forced him to listen to Joanna Newsom to calm down. "Bridges and Ballons" is a personal favorite of his. He loves harps. But still Bama won 28-14, OLB Darrell "crowbar" Johnson had 10 tackles and 2 sacks and was all over the field, he has stayed out of jail all year. However with LSU and Auburn coming up, Namath better purchase a couple more copies of "Ys" to calm everyone down.
