22 September 2004
In case you were wondering why ESPN.com didn't cover the Walk-ons/PEN IZ mightier game tonight, their crew got caught up in a hurricane related delay.
Luckily, I can provide you with a first hand re-cap.
Not to ruin the suspense, but the final score was 18-0, the PEN IZ mightier beating SigEp.
During warmups, #1/2, Branson "waterboy' McRae turned an ankle practicing the center/qb exchange and running routes. The poor field conditions are believed to be the cause of this injury. McRae will be re-evaluated later this week, and the team hopes that he will be able to return by next week.
PEN IZ won the coin toss and elected to defer to the 2nd half. Sig(PIG)Ep took the ball from their own 15 and the swarming defense of PEN IZ forced them to punt after going 3 and out. on the ensuing drive, PEN IZ drove the field and connected on a touchdown to take the lead 6-0. Anders Larson kept the drive alive, picking up a first down with his legs. The offense then failed on their two point conversion. SigEp had better luck moving the ball on the ensuing drive, but eventually turned the ball over on downs. PEN IZ took the ball and drove, again scoring 6 on a TD throw by Deez (M. Vick) Larson. Again the 2 point conversion failed.
PEN IZ took posession of the ball to start the second half after SigEp failed to score before halftime. They again drove the field from their 15 and scored a touchdown, this time deciding to try for one. On the first attempt at conversion, the defense was called for roughing the passer. On the retry, Deez hit a releasing lineman (yours truley, Showtime) in the endzone for the conversion. The score however was called back on offsetting penalties of illegal forward pass and pass interference on the defense (they were clearly worried about the speed and threat of Showtime). the third try failed. The scoring was over at this point, with SigEp failing to convert another fourth down, and PEN IZ failing to convert on their own posession as some of the second team offense took the field. On the final posession of the game, SigEp failed to get the ball into the endzone, even after running a modified hook and ladder which was broken up by the defense.
The play of the day had to be a diving catch for a touchdown by Scott Marino after the defense tipped the ball. Marino came down with it between 3 defenders for the score.
Record: 1-0. Sacks allowed: 0. Points allowed: 0.
On a sad note, PEN IZ jerseys are under judicial review by commisionar tagleabeau. Apparently the greek letters that represent our team look similar to a word that may or may not be acceptable for jersey's. Don't blame us, blame the Greeks. and just remember, the PEN IZ mightier.

Rhyme(quote) Of The Day: "we have come too far in the war to fold, and a soldier to be beheaded is only twenty years old. a fact that is frighting to see because he is the same age as me. bush thinks he is doing a noble task, like jesse jackson making iraq free at last, but its costing young lives, surrounded by men in hoods with huge knives and a crazy look in their eyes. just like bush these terrorists think what hey are doing is just, but it's only a result of when way's of life collide. when an accomodation of entangled foreign policies could no longer slide, when 3 men decided to take planes and commit suicide with innocent americans inside. american would never be the same and this is where a resurgence of patriotism came, but it left in a year, but we've lived here in fear, that the next attack could be near."

A cool beer quiz.
Interesting weekend:
The Theta Chi party friday night was pretty good, and there were some left over skanks there who apparently got lost on their way to the Sigma Nu Playboy party. I may have pissed them off by talking shit about their clothes (or lack thereof) while waiting for a shuttle. So I never actually made it to the Playboy party, (I thought on-campus parties ended at 2am) but it was a fun night regardless.
Saturday marked my first attempt at a real Wake Forest football tailgate, and it went pretty well... (no one got shot in the parking lot) but someone stole my grill during the first half of the game. Yeah, it was just a ten dollar grill from wal-mart, but who steals a hot grill from a tailgate? I mean honestly. As for the game... well at least the halftime show was interesting. Blowout win for Wake.
The Panthers got a big win today, with out Stephen Davis or Steve Smith. GO CATS.
Dale Jr. finished third in the race today, to move into a tie for 1st in the points standings after the first race of the chase for the championship.
If you see anyone running around with a new $9.92 black grill, w/ a little tripod, ask where they got it if it sounds like they stole it, kick them in the knee.
Jerry Rice's streak of games with at least one catch ended today.
Boston College comes to Groves next weekend, we'll try the tailgate again... with a new grill.
