Back :-)

Yo peeps :-)

I am back and will be writing regularly from now on .. So much stuff has happened for the past few months and as you know, The Giants won the Super Bowl. Not that I am a fan of them, but the way they won over the Pats was sweet :-)

I am predicting here that the Pats dynasty is over :-) Gotta thank them for the perfect regular season record, but you have one loss.

The Giants won by doing what I said all along ... get Tom Brady .. and yeah they did. Anyway, enough with that news, it's in the past.

The draft is coming up. So any favorites for your team ?

The Pats Roll On N How To Beat 'Em

The Pats won again ... this time a whupping of the Steelers. Actually, this victory was already coming. I knew it the moment Mr. Smith said the guarantee. The Pats are the MASTER when it comes to this kind of motivation ploy. Never mind that they have won the last 3 out of 6SuperBowls ..

The remaining schedule for the Pats are Jets, Dolphins, Giants. Defeats ? .... nah, I personally think that they will remain unbeaten in the regular season, but I might be wrong.

I have always babbled on how to beat the Pats ... so here it is ...

1. Get Brady all the time.
.. lady and g's .. do not pity Brady when you are playing him. Give him an inch and he'll strike the dagger to your gut ... Philly n Ravens know what I mean. Pound him for 60 minutes ... he is the conductor of this offence.

2. Run and run at the Pats, especially the LBs
.. isn't it obvious that the Pats have an aging LB corp. Have your big bruisers run at them at the first 3 quarters ... in the fourth quarter, get your speedster in. Ravens did both using McGahee, and it almost worked.

3. Pass Defense

Work on your pass defense. The Pats have been passing a lot this season and doing an excellent job. I suspect it is more due to them not having a feature workhouse back ( Antione  Smith, Corey Dillion ). Somehow Maroney is not working out as much they like to.

Has anyone realized that the Pats are actually one dimensional offense team this season. The key has been Brady's excellent play, so that is why No. 1 above is very - very important ! :D

The Season So Far ( Noles )

Hello There :-) I am back ... ;-)

I am following the current season and thought it would be nice to write back with my review of the current season of my two favorite NCAA teams, starting with...

Seminoles ( 6-4 overall, 3- 4 ACC )

To be honest, I am not putting high hopes for the season due to the new staff that was just installed this season. From my experience, it usually takes about two to three seasons for the results to bear fruit.

Offence - QB play has been spotty with Weatherford n Lee doing okay work. As for the rest, they are playing as best as they can, at the moment.

Defence - Defence has been doing its best to keep the team in games. Full credit to the boys :-)

Results - the highlight must be beating then No 2 BC 27-17. The lows - the Clemson loss

Future : Beat Maryland and Florida and hopefully get to a Bowl game. Actually, there is a possibility that FSU might not go anywhere :-(

Tomorrow : Notre Dame Fighting Irish
