White Russians & Walter's....


Without further ado we bring you this week's edition...
White Russians:

For service to the Institute above & beyond the normal call of duty & general badassedness...
  • Sean Bedford.  Once a walk-on, now our starting center, Bedford has twice this year been named ACC offensive lineman of the week.  Check out this article from the NY Times on our man.  Absolutely love the Derrick Morgan "academic suicide" quote.  Here's to you, sir, and as you probably are too busy studying, we'll polish off that drink for you...
Why yes, he is a rocket scientist.....
  • The bye week.  Finally!  After 11 consecutive games including a 12 day stretch where we played three games (a big fat UP YOURS to ACC commissioner John "Ass- hat" Swofford for that one), the Jackets desperately need a break.  While we've managed to avoid major injuries, we're knicked up & the extra week to heal & get ready for the Mutts will help.  Without a game this weekend we'll be lost & wandering around aimlessly , possibly sober (gasp...) so if you see us, please call our owners, I mean wives, & help us get home.  
  • Ben Anderson.  One of our greatest weaknesses this year has been the inability of anyone other than Derrick Morgan to generate a pass rush.  Not so this weekend against Duke as the junior defensive tackle was a one-man wrecking crew.  5 tackles, 3 of them for loss, 2 sacks & an afternoon spent harassing Thad Lewis.  Nice work, #98...
Barkeep, a white russian for Mr. Anderson....
  • An 8pm kick for the Mutts.  We think this is deserving of a white russian?  Or maybe 63 gallons of "the brown" as it's referred to around here?  12 hours of tailgating will certainly have us in the right frame of mind to beat Georgia.  Let's hope we survive & make it to kickoff.  There may be self-imposed bourbon probation that Saturday....and wife imposed bourbon probation after....
Walter's:
There are rules, Smokey!!!!
  • The punt team.  First of all, we punted in the second half.  FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 6 GAMES!  What the hell is going on down there on North Ave. ?  A punt?  In the second half?  We have to correct this.  Absolutely unacceptable.  This will not be tolerated.  (Snapping of fingers above Hash's head...) I'm awake now.  I dreamt I was an SEC fan & that even though my team won 49-10 this weekend to clinch a berth in the conference championship game, I was going to spend the week bitching about minutiae & other nonsense.  A nightmare, you say?  Indeed!  But really, we won 49-10 & did clinch a spot in Tampa Bay.  Other than the botched snap on a punt in the first half, there's not a whole lot to bitch about.  So we won't.  We'll begin to gas up the hate machine as the Inbreds arrive next Saturday....

  1. Just as a caveat, we were in "victory formation" pretty much from Budweiser on... I don't think we need to fret too much about the second half punting stats as the second and third strings were getting in reps. Just something to notice.

  2. Not very much to complain about indeed. Everyone stepped up. I can't think of anything to complain about at all.
